    I am able to track which of my clients have paid their invoices and which have not. The number of days that the EPAY invoice is outstanding is easily accessible. The date the original invoice was sent is displayed. The initial form to complete in order to send the EPAY is so simple a caveman can do it. Just need the client's name, email, and the amount of the invoice. The automated follow-up emails to the clients who have not paid are helpful.

    Square is an amazing platform to have total control over the payroll of all the employees of a company or a specific sector. This platform has a very good functionality to collect exact information on how long each employee works, that is one of its most outstanding characteristics, because it monitors work schedules and overtime and generates detailed reports on the work time of each employee. Square does not allow to schedule payments, that is one of the main problems, however, I consider that it is a very good option for small and medium-sized companies that are looking for a way to have more exact administrative control over the working hours of all their employees. It is a software that works in the cloud, so all the work information that is collected will remain safe without any risk of loss.

    Cons
    EPAY Systems
    • All-time punches are rounded to 15-minute intervals which can skew accurate break times.
    • Slow lading or occasional lags due to server overload.
    • Sync errors cause occasional overlapping punches.

    • It's a bit pricey for larger companies at $5 per person paid per month.
    • Has a bit of a learning curve that seems steeper than necessary
    • reports can be confusing at first

    Usability
    EPAY Systems
    Because I can't give it a Zero, I believe EPAY Systems is the most senseless system I have ever used. I worked on systems over 25 years ago that were better. In my opinion, there is no logic to the programming; the system is unbelievably SLOW, and there and hundreds of problems every week. And major ones that they will not or can not correct. For example, we can not file or access employee records in the system as it can take longer than 10 minutes to view or load one document for one employee - IF the system allows you to get that far, which it usually doesn't.

    It could use a mobile-friendly interface. Other than that it's a simple layout and non-cluttered which allows you to get done what you need to get done. No unnecessary dodads or distractions.

    Support Rating
    EPAY Systems
    I feel the support is terrible. We have an outsourced support purpose who doesn't understand the EPAY Systems or our company, [removed], will only answer the first thing mentioned even if there is an entire list. Then the answer does not solve the 1st problem on the list or any other and has no idea how to help us. We have requested a replacement and were told we would get one, then told later we would not. I believe while the support person is nice, I believe they were not trained or supported on their end, and effectiveness is probably 1% or less, takes forever, and is only on the minor issues.

    I think they have quick and helpful customer service reps, however, I give them a 9 because I have had to wait on hold for long periods of time before.

    Our main reason for switching to Blueforce is
    that we found the platform to be pretty promising and interactive than other
    alternatives. With other alternatives, there was one issue or another which just
    used to not give us a very smooth and subtle experience. Thankfully, this tool
    has solved all our problems and has been a godsend gift that does its job
    quietly and lets the final results make the noise.

    I liked patriot, but I found it to be more confusing than Square and took me too much time to setup. I setup Square Payroll in about an hour. I would also say the Square interface made more sense to me. I also like how Square offers more things like benefits, etc. that can be added on.

    • Square Payroll has dramatically reduced the time it takes to process payroll.
    • We could have a faster payroll with the Square POS integration for commission, but that is not something we've implemented yet.
