Considered Both Products
Paycom
Chose Paycom
We have used Paycheck and ADP products before. Paycom by far has been the one that is easier to use.
Chose Paycom
Paycom was the service that met all of our needs at the best value. Others are more expensive or lacked all of the operational items that we wanted to cover.
Chose Paycom
In my 23 year career in HR, I have used PeopleSoft, ADP, Ultipro, SAP, Workday, and Paycom. The first part of my career I used PeopleSoft, ADP, Ultipro, and SAP products. I then used Paycom for 8 years at 2 different organizations and really enjoyed its functionality and …
Chose Paycom
Paycom makes things a lot easier for us because we utilize so many things within the one system. Everything is in the one system so it makes running reports and looking things up quicker. Which helps out a lot when we are running as many reports as we are on the daily.
Chose Paycom
I've used ADP and I don't recall what other programs in the past, but Paycom is just so simple to use, has a layout that is easy to navigate and isn't cluttered, and has so many solutions in one system. I enjoy using it and I've always dreaded logging into other systems in the …
Chose Paycom
Paycom is head and shoulders above the above mentioned products. Other products over promise and under deliver, are not as user friendly or do not have as many modules as Paycom.
Chose Paycom
I have only used Paycom in my recent professional career.
Chose Paycom
Paycom is able to handle the multiple job codes and cascading labor allocations one employee can have in parks and recreations.
Chose Paycom
ADP - The payroll feature is much better with Paycom!!! Kronos - scheduling and payroll feature is more efficient with Paycom.
Chose Paycom
I also used Reynolds and Reynolds and UCS. All four Payroll Programs did not compare to Paycom. I have more hands on with the Program where ADP is not.
Chose Paycom
Paycom has a much better user interface and is easier for employees to navigate. Employees are able to take ownership of their personal information and ensure their contact information is kept up to date. The program is easier for managers to navigate and saves time by …
Chose Paycom
We switched from Paycom to Paylocity in mid-2021, and it was a disaster. Switched back to Paycom in November 2021 and addressed some of the issues that prompted us to leave in the first place.
Chose Paycom
I find Paycom's software to be easier to understand and use. The process of actually running payroll is super simplified and easy to manipulate.
Chose Paycom
Paycom far outweighs ADP's capabilities. ADP had too many roadblocks and we were unable to fully integrate a paperless personnel file which was the end goal. Paycom has allowed us to transition to go paperless.
Chose Paycom
Paycom blows both Heartland and ADP away. No comparison. I had nothing but issues with the others and no issues to speak of with Paycom. I will recommend Paycom to anyone looking for a truly all-in-one provider.
Chose Paycom
For the cost and the robustness of the system, you can't beat it. The customer service is so much better than all three systems I have worked on. Paycom will work best for your company if you spend the time and work it every day. It is a lot of work but it has been worth it …
Chose Paycom
Used ADP in the past, it couldn't do what Paycom can do. ADP tried to win back my business by lower cost by 50% but they can't accomplish what Paycom does!

Paycom
I have used a lot of different HRIS systems over 23 years in HR. Paycom is by far has the most comprehensive suite of options that is easy to use for end users and administrators. Their support is top notch in the industry, from helping you with setup and implementation to troubleshooting issues. Paycom has dedicated staff for you to reach out to at any time that are knowledgeable and work towards resolutions.

Cons
Paycom
  • I would like to see a extra time given for training to employer and employees before going live for the first payroll process without the pressure of a definitive start date. I was told we would be charged additional fees if we could not start on the date we decided on and then was dropped in the middle of my first payroll run because the client service had a pre arranged appointment with another client. The first payroll run was very chaotic and stressful. Please be sure your client is comfortable and ready before processing. And perhaps plan to spend that first entire Payroll day with them.
  • Would like to see more long-term client service assigned to our account. We have had ours change several times within the year and it just feels good knowing your going to call and speak with someone that knows you and/or your business well and can give a better educated answer based on your specific business needs.
  • We are having an issue with our 2021 taxes and a discrepancy between what was reported to the IRS and the SS admin. I have supplied all the 941 information from our previous payroll provider that was sent to the IRS. I can not seem to get a real good answer about the discrepancy yet. Hoping this will be resolved soon though. I wish we had open access to speak directly to a tax team member. Everything gets communicated between a client service rep and it is difficult when they do not understand the tax situation.

We've made the mistake of moving away from Paycom to a PEO which had made a lot of promises, that they could not keep. Less than a year after that transition, we returned to Paycom and are happier than ever.

Usability
Paycom
The system is very user friendly. Once you navigate where your information is stored under the forms you are golden. While the training amplified my capabilities and knowledge, I could have jumped into the system without and training and managed just fine. This probably one of my favorite parts about Paycom!

Support Rating
Paycom
Paycom is the best payroll and HR software I have utilized in my 30 plus years as a CPA working in private industry. I am always confident in the software and my support team. The software is updated on an ongoing basis automatically. Paycom relieves a lot of stress over this vital area of any business.

In-Person Training

They were a sales person and not really a good trainer.

Online Training
Paycom
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.

Implementation Rating
Paycom
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
  • We no longer have a full-time HR manager. The duties are split between a Controller and another manager-reduced costs-all in an $80,000/year savings.
  • Employee self-management of benefits enrollments eliminated manager support for the process. It's completely self-administered by the employee, probably saves 80 hours of administrative work at a minimum and eliminating any chance that management makes an error on the employee's record.
