Paycom is an automated HCM platform, built on a single database that eliminates redundant data entry through automation. A payroll and HR software solution, Paycom is used by organizations of all sizes to access employee data without navigating multiple systems.
We have used on previous HRIS provider, which was cumbersome to utilize, and limited in its ability to consolidate data into one site. We also considered another HRIS system, which promised great system utilization. That may actually be true, but we never completed the …
Paycom's single database architecture, customer support, and my experience with its dedication to innovation and data integrity are all reasons we chose Paycom over its competitors. Their single database model really does make a world of difference, and the interface used by …

Chose Paycom
We are staying with Paycom. I really do not know how to describe the differences.
The above platforms aren't a single database - they are multiple platforms purchased via acquisitions and mergers leveraging an open API model. This results in lag time, fragmented processes and redundant data entry.
I really don't have a good answer - I have been using Paycom for the 5 years I have been with this company, and used KDV, which is a local pay system, for 10 years prior at my other job, and Paycom is much better.
Comparable. Decent. I'd say Paycom is a better product. Better interface. Alot of updates though that we don't always know about or just blame an issue on "fluke". Customer Service is sub-par with Paycom.
Company management choice, the product was sold with many items that honestly were not all delivered upon the sale once you became a client we had a very long roadblock to get to what we had before i would of stated where we were if it was my choice so sorry

Chose Paycom
Much easier to use than ADP. Is comparable to Paychex.
Paycom is faster, more efficient, and more proactive. Paycom is more hands on, I appreciate that I have a customer service rep for day to day questions, and we have a rep who checks in quarterly to ensure we are getting the most from the system. They never feel pushy and are …
They are very similar in function, but the interfaces and dashboard are different. I found the Paycor dashboard to be more "social media" styled, with employee recognition on the front page. As a manager, I prefer to just jump in and get the task done that I need to do.
The system itself is way more appeasing to the eye, which is nice for someone who works in it every day. Also, the functionality of the system just seems to make sense.
I am in payroll systems a lot just because of the data that we receive from payroll systems. I can actually log in and see their usability against Paycom. I've been in Paycom from a manager side as well as an employee side previously. I think it's great. One thing that I would …
I mean I've used Paychex before. I've used ADP before. Paychex was nothing like this, not comparable in terms of the version I was using. I think I was using Paychex Flex, but this was much more comprehensive, much more coherent, and it did a lot more on the ADP side. I don't …
I've implemented at least 7 HRMS and/or performance suites over the years. I have no true complaints about the platform. We have found that for one of our client codes, the scheduling functionality doesn't accommodate the constant scheduling adjustments our transportation company requires. That said, our routes can change more than once an hour and start/end times often change with routes. We have found that managing the full employee life cycle is even more streamlined with the recent Position Seat updates. We also value that the platform is a native build - so no lagging API integrations to navigate.
Before Paycom we were using Paylocity and in about six months of running payroll with Paylocity, we never once had 100% accuracy from a payroll standpoint. So we had disgruntled employees because either their time was off or their pay was off. With Paycom, we've never had a case where our payroll was not 100% accurate.
I think that when we do need a response back, which is very unlikely from the contact about something that's happening or going on, it can take a little long to get back to us. Longer than we would like because obviously it's an emergency to us, but we understand they have tons of emergencies they have to solve. But I think that's the only aspect.
I know from a payroll standpoint, which I'm not really privy to because I don't work on the payroll side, there have been some little hiccups that about certain formulas used, certain credits being issued that we've already filed for tax credits that we filed for. So I know that my CFO's already on top of it and pay comes on top of it as well and it's getting resolved, but obviously that's a big issue that needs some work there.
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
The interface is very intuitive, you can navigate it pretty well. Everything's pretty much spelled out and the features just flow really well. They make it easy for you to go back and forth with the UX/UI type of interface. So I think it was built pretty well.
Have been bounced around alot in our 3 years of partnership. Wanted a dedicated rep but that did not provide us the care and attention we required. Work with a team first and then get to your representative. Sometimes an issue with time differences - representative working on different timebelt and not accessible, or we had to wait a day to move an issue along
All the online training modules were short and straight to the point. Every module teach you how to use the system. If there is one thing they know how to do is training. We did implementation during the pandemic so all had to be done online or via zoom meetings.
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
We really only had Paychecks and that was our biggest problem is that with several different companies, it was very hard If you had a salary employee and didn't terminate them in the prior company, they get paid twice, so this has really been definitely a big help for us.
I would think the most time would come from applicant tracking and I don't think that's a Paycom issue necessarily. I think it was a training issue during implementation. I would say that that has improved now that we had onsite training. But initially the applicant tracking piece can be difficult when you're used to just using an ATS. That's specifically for talent acquisition because there's a lot of nuances that goes into the system that Paycom bills.
