Chose Paycor
Paycor is a much better product all around with better service but Paycor lacks the ability to API ties to other systems Namely has. Namely has a better UI and user experience as well.
Chose Paycor
Paycor is a decent rival at a much lower price point. It has a lot of the functionality of its competitors at a lower price. I believe its general customer service is one of the best that I have dealt with. We don't have personalized customer service reps or teams which can …
Chose Paycor
Paycor was used by my leader in a previous organization and at the time was overall successful.
Chose Paycor
We selected Paycor due to price and the demo website was very user friendly. At the time, we did not realize that the demo site would not be an accurate reflection of what we were purchasing.
Chose Paycor
I have used Full Stack in the past, which isn't listed in the listings. And for the most part, it worked out well, however, it has its far share of issues. It was expensive, but also had some data tacking problems where all of our employees information was messed up.
Chose Paycor
We chose Paycor for its overall value and functionality. Paycor seems to have a clear future for innovations.
Chose Paycor
AS400, JIS, Quickbooks, Viventium All these systems have their pros and cons. I do prefer Paycor but customer service gap and rising vendor cost is starting to affect loyalty.
Chose Paycor
We selected Paycor because of the user-friendly aspect and the fact that they are willing to work with us on what parts of the software we want to utilize. The price was also a big reason why we choose Paycor.
Chose Paycor
Not really, but cost is significant much less.
Chose Paycor
We selected then primarily because of their 360° integration with our 401(k) provider. Additionally, they were reasonably priced.
Chose Paycor
We initially went with them because they were much less expensive. However, this was a case of you get what you pay for.
Chose Paycor
By far the easiest to use system. May not be able to dive into super deep details/advanced features, but easy to use
Chose Paycor
At the time Paycor was the best bang for our buck and was easier to operate than our previous platform.
Chose Paycor
Paycor seems to be the best for other systems integrations and reporting. The easy of set up and integrations into other platforms is great. While the report building is more robust than ADP with and easier approach to creating the reports. I would recommend Paycor over ADP as …
Chose Paycor
ADP was more expensive and we didn't utilize any of the modules because they were all an additional price.

Here we have way more features and it is a lot easier to navigate so it has been helpful to have these features and all in one place rather than using a bunch of other …
Chose Paycor
We are still exploring the differences between ADP and Paycor to determine whether addressing the pain points with a product switch is necessary.
Chose Paycor
The sales team was much better in terms of handling our needs, the products were overall better, and they have an extremely competitive price. We thought that Paycor was the best fit even though they were not the cheapest due to our needs and how they addressed them. It was a …
Chose Paycor
Paycor is what my company chose to use.
Chose Paycor
Paycor is nice from a user perspective. The employees have very easy navigation on their side.

Paycor Inc
Paycor is well suited for an organization with a strong implementation team or who has the budget to hire a consultant to implement Paycor. Once the system is implemented, Paycor is great. If you are a smaller organization, we suggest starting with just 1-2 modules and working your way up from there as setting up everything takes time and resources

Cons
Paycor Inc
  • The reporting capabilities of Paycor Recruiting are lacking. While there are some great features I would like to see more options for customization. The options to build my own report from SCRATCH with whatever fields I want/need would be a huge improvement. At this time, I have to finagle the reports to try and get what I need and often times I have to pull multiple reports and then do extra work outside of the system to end up with metrics close to what I’m looking for in the data.
  • The candidates search feature could use some improvement. In theory, the tagging system is a great idea but it leaves room for inconsistency and trying to search for a previous candidate who interviewed well isn’t always easy. This makes it harder to re-engage with people who could be a strong match for a new job opening.
  • Although the platform is very user friendly as far as ease of use and intuitiveness it can be VERY slow at times. There are days where the system moves at a snails pace and when there are multiple clicks to have to get to a specific spot in the system this can be very frustrating. This is especially try for navigating through job postings and candidate details.

Price point is the biggest driving factor. Paycor has made some strides in the customer service area and we've seen enough improvements that renewing our contract has become more a reality than a pipe dream. The system functions well and our employees are familiar with how it works, so to make a change would be a huge lift for our team

Usability
Paycor Inc
Glitches. So many glitches. The customer service number provides basic troubleshooting, which doesn’t help; some issues take weeks to resolve, with no apparent reason why they occur. The system does not work on Safari. We have dealt with Payroll not working, which has caused a manual payroll to be run. Paycor representatives do not provide any assistance.

Reliability and Availability
Paycor Inc
I feel like Paycor is always up and running! If they are planning downtime, they communicate it clearly. Every once in a while, I get something that says the system isn't working but it is usually back up within the hour. I typically find by the time that the employees complain about it, that it is resolved within the system.

Performance
Paycor Inc
For the most part, everything moves super fast. There are a few sections (Expense Management) that sometimes take a bit to load correctly. Or if they are interesting, it takes a minute to talk to each other! But reports are quickly downloaded and available! Even data heavy reports run fairly fast!

Support Rating
Paycor Inc
I feel like support will transfer you back and forth between departments and put you on hold forever. I believe it is very difficult to see the status of an open ticket. During my experience, it feels like the client has to push all communication and request updates from support regularly.

In-Person Training
Paycor Inc
The training was helpful and covered the basic functionality of the system, but it did not stand out as exceptional. The presenter was knowledgeable and answered questions appropriately, but much of the content felt focused on standard product features rather than our specific business processes and use cases. I would have liked to see more hands-on exercises, deeper workflow examples, and practical demonstrations tied to real-world scenarios. Overall, the training was good and provided value, but there is opportunity to make it more engaging, more customized to our organization, and more impactful for long-term user adoption.

Online Training
Paycor Inc
The online training was adequate and covered the core functionality of the platform, but it felt similar to many standard software training libraries available today. The content was easy to access and generally well organized, but it lacked the depth, interactivity, and real-world application needed to make it particularly memorable or impactful. I would have liked to see more role-based learning paths, practical business scenarios, hands-on exercises, and guidance tailored to different user groups. Overall, the training met basic expectations and provided useful information, but it did not differentiate itself from typical web-based training programs offered by most HCM providers.

Implementation Rating
Paycor Inc
Implementation of any new software is going to be challenging, especially if you are maintaining an existing program concurrently. When it is time for dual-processing (both old and new software) prior to going live, be prepared to be stressed. But trust the process and it will be over soon.

Alternatives Considered

They seemed similar but Paycor was cheaper at the time. However, Paycor has so many fees they tack onto every invoice that may not be the case anymore. The support services supposedly were better at ADP but that was an unknown

Scalability
Paycor Inc
I gave it a 10 because we only use it across one organization. However, it has allowed us to break it into multiple departments and layers of management. It is also easy for us to utilize across different locations but still under one master company. They have always provided us support when we decide to change something on an organizational level

Return on Investment
Paycor Inc
  • We can process Payroll in a 25% of the time that we previously could.
  • Scheduling takes 2 or 3 times as much effort as it did before.
  • Onboarding allows employees to do self-service but comes with a lot of questions from team members so it is net the same amount of time at the end of the day.
