Kallidus
It is great for just about any organization that does onboarding and training as it saves time and assists in keeping your team on track while bringing on new people. It helps to streamline a typically very difficult process for smaller teams. It has helped us immensely.

Paylocity
As mentioned, Paylocity is great as a payroll service for getting employees paid and also for them to get information using their self-service. Definitely could be improvements in the ATS/recruiting piece of the plaform. Paylocity is a payroll first platform and recruiting is an add-on, so the functionality is not as good as it is with stand-along ATS.

  • Customer Service is always helpful with little wait time.
  • Always improving; for example, the recent change to processing payroll. So much easier.
  • Onboarding makes it simple and the fact that the company can personalize the messaging to new hires allows us to make it more personalized.
  • Having an assigned account manager regardless of company size is definitely a plus.

Cons
Kallidus
  • Simpler hosting of e-learning - scorm objects can be slow AICC seems to be the best solution
  • Options to link / interface with other workforce systems
  • Greater flexibility of learning pathways

  • Functionality of the Mobile App needs to match web portal. i.e. Employees unable to access self-appraisals for annual performance reviews on the app. Employees will have to use their browsers on the phone to access. Also, Employees are unable to adjust their State and Federal Tax withholdings via the App. They need to log into via their browsers.
  • Would like to see easier accessibility to establishing APIs (Application Programming Interface) from Paylocity to my own IT department. Attempted to do this and there was a PEPM (per employee per month) charge for this integration. Don't mind paying an initial set up but after that a PEPM seems a little steep. Be a better value-added partner with your clients in solving business problems. Huge area of opportunity and more than willing to discuss further with you.
  • Auto Assignment of Expense Management Rules. Currently have to refresh the Expense Management rules to ensure that all employees are part of it. This should be able to be automated much in the same way Attendance policies are managed for various employee populations.

Staff satisfaction and ease of use
Read full review
Paylocity
We have had many issues with the way our platform was set up at implementation that still continue to plague us. In addition, our benefits, in particular our FSA, have been mis-managed causing a balance due from an employee (and also a lot of work for our accounting and HR team, as well as stress for the employee). Our service rep continues to answer incorrectly on many fronts (original response is usually check out this paylocity article, vs. helping) and recently our COBRA management was mishandled (not adding Dental to a person on Cobra who had requested it). So- all in all...we are not particularly happy w/ Paylocity

Overall, in my experience, Paylocity has been easy to use for both staff and administrators. First, the staff has an application and inputting Paid Time Off is easy to do. I then get an alert on my app and I am able to approve it on the spot from my app that gives me access as an employee and an administrator without having to use multiple apps or logins. As an administrator I think the portal is easy to use, Paylocity did a great job showing me tools and rolling out training classes before rollout.

Everyone wants immediate assistance. Awaiting a response from an email only to ask 2-3 more questions is time consuming. Within the first six months of setup, I would rather respond back to the instructors who provided me the training in each category of my contract.

The training was live online, but was with a group of other companies. We did not receive any personalized training with our team. Whenever we would ask for training, we would be sent a peak article link or a video. It felt like the reps we dealt with didn't know the answer to the questions.

I had gone through an implementation process of another HR platform (Paycom) in my previous job and was traumatized, it was painful. I was surprised how easy and fast it was with Paylocity, the team was very helpful and set us up for success

This is the only product I have used and it is great. I have not explored other options and we have not had the need to so far.

Paylocity is so much better than ADP and Paychex Flex. These platforms are much more difficult to navigate and do not even come close with providing things like Community. Their systems are more confusing then Paylocity and there is not as many modules to explore and implement. Paychex Flex does not offer nearly as many modules or tools and is very basic. While it gets the basic job done, we like to include more detailed information in our system and that system just did not allow us too.
