Considered Both Products
ELMO Software
Chose ELMO Software
Aspen is more straightforward in creating a course of personal development recognized by our industry, but your ELMO Software is generally easier to use. As the workforce in our company is very often built by the majority of people with basic academic background education, IE …
Chose ELMO Software
ELMO is specifically an HR software and it is best suited for this
Chose ELMO Software
Workday is another really useful tool but there are some features in ELMO that make it stand out. ELMO is also much easier to use.
Chose ELMO Software
Good modules set-up and ELMO components portfolio vs. budget (service agreement cost).
Justworks
Chose Justworks
ADP was our previous PEO and, in my experience, they were old, clunky and never got back to us. In my opinion, the customer service was non-existent. Insperity was out of our budget but I think it is a good product. Paychex flex was similar and I like their product for …
Chose Justworks
Justworks is a much simpler platform with better pricing. I remember ADP's cost was tied to a certain percentage of the total payroll, which is not ideal if you have highly compensated employees. Though ADP offered more ancillary benefit options and group employee discounts, …
Chose Justworks
ADP was too manual and required too much back and forth to get set up, Vensure and Sequoia One never replied in a timely manner.
Chose Justworks
We like Justworks over Gusto for the simple reason that Justworks has better benefits offering for a company as small as us. It has turned out that Justworks also has been rolling out new features that we didn't know we wanted (like timecard integrations), and that has also …
Chose Justworks
Justworks cost less administratively and offered better medical insurance options for the price.
Chose Justworks
JustWorks is a full PEO rather than a simple payroll provider, and fairly tech forward. Their HR support is extremely good.
Chose Justworks
I find the user experience on JustWorks to be far better than ADP and TriNet. And the employee support wins hands down as well
Chose Justworks
We used paycor only for payroll, but even in this regard I felt it was inferior to Justworks. The key differentiator in my mind was customer support and user interface. Paycor support was difficult and rarely made exceptions. Their interface felt like a web 1.0 legacy software.
Chose Justworks
Justworks serves all the basic needs with less of the frills and bells and whistles that Insperity has. Insperity from my recollection, had a lot more of the non-essential frills that benefited employees, such as promotions and discounts for consumer products and services …
Chose Justworks
Selecting Boomr wasn't my decision, but as a user, it's much more convenient then having to boot up a computer, log in, and then clock in. This, again, is especially true due to half of our team no longer working directly in our main office. Also, if for some reason the …
Chose Justworks
They are similar tools in what they do. Justworks is a little easier to navigate; Trinet does have the Time-off estimator. Justworks is a much better cost for a very comparable product.
Chose Justworks
Justworks offers a more robust functionality than Gusto. The ability to track time off, manage pay stubs, distribute and manage benefits administration, and house a company-wide directory with key dates and information about each individual are all extremely helpful. Having a …
Chose Justworks
Harvest allows employees to track their time but does not provide the same variety of features needed to manage a large number of users as Justworks. This includes managing benefits, payroll, and employee-required courses (such as Harassment Prevention). Furthermore, some …
Chose Justworks
Paychex's interface is outdated and challenging to navigate. Their customer support is challenging as they are such a big company, you often have to be transferred to another department before speaking with the appropriate person.
Chose Justworks
JustWorks is similar to Zenefits but seems cleaner. It's not as robust but for such a small company it's perfect.
Chose Justworks
I think the design interface of Justworks and easy to use dashboard is among the best software as a service I have engaged with.
Chose Justworks
Justworks is much easier to use and offers a better process and platform.
Chose Justworks
Justworks is cheaper, more intuitive, and easier to use than other tools. It has a clean interface, unlike Trinet which I have used at a previous company (3+ years ago). Trinet does provide better HR services through your account manager who is an HR specialist, unlike …
Chose Justworks
JustWorks is MUCH easier to use. The user interface is light years ahead of TriNet. Though JustWorks has a smaller number of health insurance plans available, I found it easier to navigate their selections because of the 1-pagers they provide and because there weren't SO many …
Chose Justworks
We switched from TriNet to JustWorks for a number of reasons. TriNet's platform was outdated and consistently used third-party sites. None of their reporting was correct, nothing was integrated and my employees had an extremely difficult time finding and accessing anything they …

The performance review process is clear and easy to complete, for both employee and manager. I have experienced this in both roles, with my own staff, and undergoing my own review with my manager. I haven't experienced scenarios where it is less appropriate, I think our HR department customised the software well to our needs.

Overall, Justworks is a great platform to use to manage organization wide payroll, benefits (medical/dental/vision), and other misc. HR related services (401(k), life insurance, AD&D). The value Justworks brings to our organization greatly exceeds its cost, which I find very reasonable. I particularly love its customer service, which is fast, reliable, and helpful (By calling a number, you get connected directly to a customer service rep., no answer machines or need to press multiple buttons/selections to get to where you need). By implementing Justworks for our HR needs in the U.S., it greatly reduces the time I spent on HR administration duties while offering great benefits and HR services to our employees.

Pros
  • Has extensive courses library (theory and video library).
  • Very responsive, resourceful and efficient support team.
  • Stuff survey - great range of available templates.
Read full review
  • The JustWorks platform is extremely user-friendly. Everything is built in with a seamless user experience. 9 times out of 10, if my employees are looking for something, it is right in front of them.
  • JustWorks has amazing customer service. Every member of their team is equipped to answer any questions you may have. This is super helpful when you have an immediate need and can't get a hold of your Account Manager. They can look up your account, answer questions and relay the information to your Account Manager providing seamless communication.
  • JustWorks did an outstanding job walking my employees through their initial set up process. While hesitant about switching insurance carries, our Account Manager was able to answer every question we had with transparency. They even made suggestions about rolling over deductibles that had already been met and gave important information about current healthcare providers being in network.

Cons
  • Help seems unavailable.
  • A guide or how-to would be extremely appreciated - I haven't found any, at least for user level.
  • User interface could follow a more standard/familiar approach.
  • Some panes should be collapsible (e.g. the right "Work Flow" area, which gives very little help).
Read full review
  • More HR info in regards to compliance and resources for employees to stay in compliance (they have just started to do this with sexual harassment but more things like this would be great!)
  • Better integrations with company holidays and timesheets. They have recently updated PTO to integrate so I'm hoping that company holidays would also be a feature added.

Usability
Once I learned the specific way of doing things, the software became very logical and ergonomic. It is easy to use and is an excellent resource for many of the specific tasks required for my role, especially in relation to staff onboarding and management. It is also excellent as a resource for my own personal HR information.

Justworks is a really good platform for payroll and even vendor payments. There are some areas of improvement that Justworks could make in the area of bulk processing, to decrease administrative time as well as reporting. There are no reports we currently use from the Justworks platform as we have not found them useful.

Support Rating
I am not sure whether you are asking how the learning & development team rates ELMO Software or how ELMO supports our team when issues arise with the software? It is not my decision to purchase the software nor am I involved with the maintenance of the software.

Justworks offers many different options for customer service. You can contact them via email, phone or Slack. They are quick to resolve issues and if your Account Manager is out of office, they have other Managers covering your account who are knowledgable and ready to support. They also have an office in New York, which makes their support even more localized.

Aspen is more straightforward in creating a course of personal development recognized by our industry, but your ELMO Software is generally easier to use. As the workforce in our company is very often built by the majority of people with basic academic background education, IE they often have only just completed year 10... it is very important your element of making it easy to understand, using simple words and clear explained multiple choices in the final quiz

ADP was our previous PEO and, in my experience, they were old, clunky and never got back to us. In my opinion, the customer service was non-existent. Insperity was out of our budget but I think it is a good product. Paychex Flex was similar and I like their product for payroll; however, we wanted to offer healthcare, commuter benefits and a 401k to employees and although Paychex is starting to offer those items through 3rd party providers, it wasn't as integrated of a solution as Justworks presented.

Return on Investment
  • It has been helpful
Read full review
  • The tool is much cheaper than hiring an outsourced payroll provider (cheaper than other PEO).
  • Cheaper than going to market for health insurance on our own.
  • Manages all employment tax, etc. which is a huge help and would require additional resources to manage without Justworks.
