The Real Difference

A day on FactoHR vs. a day on Keka

Two systems. Two very different realities for your HR team.

F
Before
HR Life without Keka
9:00 AM. Payroll errors discovered after disbursal — HR manually traces the run with no audit trail. Takes 90 minutes to find the source.
10:30 AM. Three new joiners next week. HR emails individual onboarding checklists manually, then follows up each person to confirm.
12:00 PM. Consultant asks finance for project billing hours. Finance asks HR, HR checks a separate spreadsheet — billable hours go untracked.
3:00 PM. Manager asks about team attrition risk. FactoHR shows only historical data with no predictive analytics or risk identification.
5:00 PM. Employee resigning. FnF settlement calculated manually over 3 days, no exit survey, asset return tracking missed.
VS
K
After
HR Life with Keka
9:00 AM. Payroll audit logs show every change with timestamp, user, and before/after values. Errors traced in seconds, always.
10:30 AM. AI-powered onboarding kicks in automatically. Tasks assigned and reminders sent without any follow-up calls needed.
12:00 PM. PSA tracks billable and non-billable hours, feeds payroll automatically, and generates billing reports in real time.
3:00 PM. AI attrition dashboard flags 3 employees with early resignation signals. Manager does a 1:1 before they decide to leave.
5:00 PM. Automated exit survey, offboarding checklist triggered. FnF settlement auto-calculated and ready in hours, not days.
Where Keka Wins

FactoHR's hidden cost is what it can't do.

Every missing feature is a workaround your team absorbs. Here's what FactoHR customers actually experience.

No PSA — Revenue Leaks Daily

FactoHR has no PSA module. IT and services firms track billable hours in spreadsheets, project billing goes unlinked, and finance reconciliation stays manual every month.

✓ Keka PSA: billable hours linked to payroll

No AI — Just Reaction

FactoHR shows you what happened. Keka predicts what's next. No AI attrition prediction, no AI resume screening, no AI mood tracking — FactoHR is always a step behind.

✓ Keka: AI across hiring, payroll & engagement

Engagement Has No Home

No pulse surveys, no peer recognition wall, no anonymous feedback. Employee culture and sentiment tracking live in a spreadsheet or nowhere at all.

✓ Keka: engagement, recognition & mood bot

Performance Stays Static

No cascading OKRs, no continuous feedback, no skill matrix, no AI performance insights. FactoHR tracks performance — Keka actively improves it.

✓ Keka: OKRs, 360° reviews, AI coaching

Exit Reversal? Not Possible

Accidental employee exits in FactoHR are permanent. Keka's unique Exit Reversal lets HR undo an exit in seconds with all data intact. No one else does this.

✓ Keka only: reversible exit workflows

Payroll Audit Logs Missing

FactoHR has no audit trail for payroll changes. Every error requires manual investigation. Keka logs every payroll change: who, when, what changed, and why.

✓ Keka: full payroll audit trail

FAQ

Questions from every FactoHR team considering a switch.

What does Keka have that FactoHR doesn't?

PSA module, AI Analytics, Employee Engagement tools (mood bot, pulse surveys, recognition), AI-powered ATS (resume screening, interview summarization), Skill Matrix, Exit Reversals, Cascading OKRs, Payroll Audit Logs, and 30+ additional exclusive capabilities not available in FactoHR.

Is Keka's AI actually production-ready?

Yes. Keka's AI features are live: AI resume screening, AI interview summarization, AI mood tracking with daily sentiment analysis, and AI attrition prediction are all used by thousands of companies today. These are not beta features.

Can Keka reverse an accidental employee exit?

Yes. Keka's Exit Reversal feature is unique in the market. If an employee was exited by mistake, or changed their mind, HR can undo the exit and restore all data in seconds. FactoHR does not support exit reversals.

How long does migration from FactoHR take?

Most customers complete migration in 4 to 6 weeks, including complete data migration of employee records, payroll history, and leave balances. Keka's dedicated implementation team runs a structured playbook so your data arrives clean.

Does Keka work for IT and services companies?

Yes. Keka's PSA module is built specifically for billable-hours businesses. It tracks billable and non-billable hours, links directly to payroll and client billing, and provides resource utilization and workload forecasting. FactoHR has no equivalent.

Does Keka have payroll audit logs?

Yes, every payroll change in Keka is tracked with a full audit trail: who made the change, when, what changed, and the before/after values. FactoHR does not provide payroll audit logs, leaving HR to manually trace errors.

Does Keka support cascading OKRs?

Yes. Keka supports full cascading OKRs from company level down to department and individual, with a visual tree view showing alignment. FactoHR does not support cascading OKRs.

Does Keka's engagement really improve company culture?

Yes. Keka's pulse surveys, AI mood bot, peer recognition, and social wall drive measurable engagement improvement. Companies using Keka's engagement modules report lower attrition and higher eNPS scores within two quarters.
