I certainly recommend the product! As mentioned the only con I could think of was the reporting issue, but we resolved that by implementing a different system to keep track of the same
This is a great took for evaluating candiadtes, especially their tech skills. They help us to identify the good candidates that we want to focus on.
Pros
We mostly use the Kenexa Prove-it feature for employee onboarding and testing.
Cons
Although the test results are very easy to read, I wish the results could be broken down into more categories.

Our company has been able to give more detail about our applicants to customer companies, and been able to verify an applicant's skill level prior to them beginning a job.
Pros
This software integrates into our database, and has a very wide variety of assessments that can be given to potential employees.
Cons
For a time, the software was not integrating cleanly, and would often interrupt a testing session, causing us to lose out on candidates who became frustrated with the process.

IBM Kenexa is an avarage global applicant tracking system that provides what is expected from a basic applicant tracking system for global companies.
Simply put, this LMS is outdated and far from user-friendly. I say this when I compare to the competing products as well as my own experiences being the administrator for our company. It took IBM over 2 weeks to even believe me when I was having an issue. It took another month for them to actually get it resolved, even though it was an escalated issue affecting out production environment. As a customer, I can't believe that it took them that long. I struggle to find much that is good about this LMS. It's restrictive and costs an exorbitant amount of money for the limited functionality that it provides. I believe this product could be something much more than it is. But, I don't think IBM sees it that way. I've looked at the changes from over the past year or two and... I'm very disappointed. They try and make a big deal out of the upgrades to new versions but... little changes are actually made. I feel like IBM is simply milking this for what they can. IBM either needs to step up their game and do a big re-vamp of this product or drop it. Either way, though, I'm confident that they only have customers at this point because they are stuck in the contracts.
Pros
They do offer, albeit limited, access to a REST API. You can customize some of the UI elements (looks and placement), though little documentation exists.
Cons
Difficult and Limited Reporting Slow turn response time from Support Limited SCORM Support (Supports up to 2004 3rd Edition, no xAPI support) Difficult to manage organizations and users (particularly in bulk) The interface out of the box looks like it's from the 90's (again, it's 2017) Did I mention the cost?

Honestly, look around at other vendors. This cannot be something that's helpful to you. So many other vendors offer so much more for a much lower cost.
Pros
Ability to report data is great within the DIT.
Cons
I do not like the forced view of panels, I prefer to maintain a listed view of all of my open reqs and click on the R folder to work within the candidate pool.

Price comparisons and compliance needs. The price could be more competitive for us but the tool is helpful for domestic or international.
Through the deployment of user-generated objects like candidate forms, workflows, and automated rules I can use the BrassRing system to build a self-contained Executive Recruitment practice in a system that is otherwise configured to process 10,000+ hires in a year.
Power Of Social

IBM provides an easy shrink wrap tool to track social technologies. Real people to speak to when a problem would arise.

You will need an experienced administrator because GSC advice subpar or sometimes just incorrect. Your administrator needs to have the knowledge to determine if advice advantageous. Best advice is to build a network of peer administrators.

Talent Suite is changing rapidly and seems to getting to the point of making the experience Workday-esque Definitely still behind top ATS competition in terms of reporting interface, being able to click through actionable buttons from different places of the application
Pros

Sometimes, you cannot be on the system when a colleague is on it. That was a problem at certain times of the day
