Chose Paycom
Paycom is much better than ADP for service, support and cost. Paycom is better that UKG for lots of reason to include support. The UKG system we used was supported by a reseller and their service was terrible. We are now using Paylocity at other locations. I like the Paylocity
Chose Paycom
Paycom is so versatile in so many areas!
Chose Paycom
Much easier to use and support is outstanding.
Chose Paycom
I haven't used a whole lot, but I would say the only other one would be Blackbaud. Where I came from before, we used Blackbaud as our payroll provider, and Paycom is so much more user-friendly. Once we moved to Paycom, and then where I'm at now, we used ADP and also switched. …
Chose Paycom
I personally have used ADP before, but that was just as a user, not as a manager supporting other users. So really, my experience is primarily with Paycom.
Chose Paycom
The user-friendliness of Paycom really stands out. Employees seem to have an easier time logging in and getting to what they need, whereas I've heard ADP can be a little trickier and that some users have experienced login issues. With Paycom, everything is very straightforward. …
Chose Paycom
I'm not part of the evaluation team, but from an HR perspective, we've used UKG, and that was really the main system before Paycom. Prior to that, we used a system that doesn't even exist anymore. Paycom is much more intuitive and user-friendly, and the capabilities are on a …
Chose Paycom
I like Paycom more than ADP. ADP is a little more difficult to navigate, whereas Paycom has a more straightforward and intuitive navigation system.
Chose Paycom
Oracle has an HRIS. They have an HR, finance, IT, everything-in-one type of platform, and there's an HR functionality part of it. It's really good. I've used PeopleSoft, which is more of a database type and doesn't have as many functions as Paycom. We went through a very …
Chose Paycom
Nothing really compares. I've used StaffConnect before to check in, but they don't necessarily have an app, and it's only web-based. I haven't been able to find an app or anything. And again, it's just not my favorite because it also does it by GPS location. And I'll be at work …
Chose Paycom
We were initially Paycor customers for our recruiting, and we used ADP for payroll previously. Paycom was an all-inclusive solution. And I do know that ADP and Paycor now have solutions, but at the time, they didn’t have what we wanted for the flexibility, the price, and really …
Chose Paycom
PeopleSoft and Tyler are pretty similar, with similar built in workflows, and extensive reporting systems. UKG has a lot of things that we like, but is more expensive.
Chose Paycom
I have not currently used any other products. I'm still kind of new to the HR industry. The only other thing that I really have to compare it to is Vonmar's system, which they created themselves, and it was not user-friendly.
Chose Paycom
Payroll. Unfortunately, with ADP, we're in the 21st century, and they still make me upload a spreadsheet when we do payroll. So a lot of room for mistakes, a lot of back and forth. None of that happens with Paycom. And Paychex, when I used, they were just coming out to the …
Chose Paycom
More centralized data. UKG didn't have as many, I guess, areas, or like the W2, it wasn't all in UKG. It's just that everything is more centralized than UKG and Paycom.
Chose Paycom
I've used PeopleSoft, and golly, ADP certainly evaluated Paylocity. That seems to be sort of a common competitor with Paycom, although I'm thinking they're kind of losing the battle, and Paycom's winning. We've also looked at Bamboo HR. BambooHR is great, but I think a solution …
Chose Paycom
We were on UKG before we switched to Paycom. I've been on ADP. I worked with Workday a little bit. So yeah, worked with a few of them. Right now, Paycom is the best. It's the best.
Chose Paycom
I appreciate the single database platform. Some of the other programs I have used in the past are not as intuitive or user-friendly. The reporting is accurate and timely. There isn't any confusion between the modules trying to communicate with one another. We also have …
Chose Paycom
Works best for company size
Chose Paycom
When evaluating competitors, one of the decision points has been how seamless the experience is from login to each of the different modules. Many legacy providers have the same modules, but they are not seamless. They are "connected" behind the scenes and skinned to appear to …
Chose Paycom
Paycom was definitely number one. It definitely had a few aspects that were more advanced and the data security was a big deal for us, and that was very helpful.
Chose Paycom
Paycom is definitely better than all of those options because it has everything, including performance reviews. A lot of those systems are very limited.

As I mentioned, the onboarding process is incredibly easy. We have around 300 employees and are constantly hiring, so Paycom has been a huge help. In fact, the ATS functionality was a major factor in our decision to switch to Paycom.

Pros
Paycom
  • I like the employee self-service feature. It's very straightforward and easy to use. I also like my representative, Mikey. He's been very helpful—every time I call him, I get the assistance I need. I also appreciate how quickly I can get someone on the phone and get help when needed.

Cons
Paycom
  • I am not a fan of the most recent update. I wasn't prepared for the change especially given it came right before payroll was processed. I'm told given time, I will get used to it and I'm always open to change for the better.
  • IWant™ feature isn't what I hoped it would be. I haven't used it much given the information I need in Paycom I can find quickly on my own. I have heard however that several employees utilize and appreciate the IWant™ feature.

we are having no problems with how the system works and our support system at paycom is the best - we are learning more and using the system in more ways all the time the only thing that could be better is pricing on some things

Usability
Paycom
I'm probably going to have to go seven and three-quarter to eight, and that may be user error to me because I know Paycom has got it figured out, but there's times I just can't figure it out, even with some of the tutorials, the university, the show-mes, and calling Alex, our representative. He can hold my hand and walk me through that process, and it just may be I didn't get it, but that's why I gave that score. I'd give it a solid nine.

Support Rating
Paycom
In 6 years, we've never had a bad experience with client support. We implemented during COVID, and I was the only person in HR at the time. I was also having to homeschool our children, which meant bizarre work hours and limited time to focus on platform build at times. There were nights that I was literally on calls at 11 pm and the implementation team was unbelievably supportive. Recently, a Position Seat specialist came on site to help us set up for our 5 client codes - the experience was transformative for how we use the platform and an absolute game changer. I trust Paycom because I trust our representatives. They truly are strategic partners for us, and work to ensure we're maximizing the platform and that our needs are being met

Tadd and Ellie have been great! They have show us many aspects that implementation did not. They are very personable and action oriented as well. Anytime we need them they offer to swing in.

It was good, but hard to know what questions you need to ask until you actually get in there and start working with a live product. But Paycom is also very helpful every time I call and can't figure something out. Nathan has been very friendly and helpful no matter what I call him about. He is always eager to help out.

Not at all satisfied it was a nightmare we spent over 8 months with the implementation team having issues after issues all related to the Puerto Rico regulations (half my employees are in Puerto Rico) and at the end we were moved over from the implementation team to the production team without all the issues being resolved

Return on Investment
Paycom
  • It's helped us save time. We've been able to automate a number of payroll and accounting functions. It's also enabled our employees to use the ask gear feature. So it's really saved time, and also we've not gotten hacked, which is always a plus.
