Considered Both Products
Paylocity
Chose Paylocity
Paylocity is much more cost-effective than ADP and Paychex. Many items included in our monthly cost are charged extra by the other companies.
Chose Paylocity
It doesn't compare; In my opinion, it's one of the worst systems I've ever seen and used.
Chose Paylocity
Paylocity has allowed our clients to onboard new hires themselves and take us out of the HR of their business. It's allowed us to focus on just processing payrolls.
Chose Paylocity
Both in their own right have things to brag about, however, with our complex payroll I believe that Paylocity seems to have given us what we need.
Chose Paylocity
We are an organization that has a lot of different departments and needs a customizable HRIS system, and Paylocity seemed to fit us best.
Chose Paylocity
I used ADP at my previous job, so when I came to this company, they were using Paylocity.
Chose Paylocity
Workday seems like a much more powerful system. However, our small company may not need such an expensive tool.
Chose Paylocity
We used ADP before Paylocity, and the main reason we switched was that Paylocity offered the option to run reports on flexible dates, not just by calendar year. Paylocity also has a better recruiting and onboarding process.
Chose Paylocity
Paylocity better manages our employees who reside outside of our headquarters' state, but Paychex managed our retirement accounts better.
Chose Paylocity
Paylocity at my company serves strictly payroll reasons while other apps handle time off, company directory, performance reviews, announcements
Chose Paylocity
I am familiar with both ADP and Workday products. I would rate Paylocity slightly lower than these tools. ADP and Workday are for companies with more complex structures while Paylocity is more suited for companies that are smaller in size and less complex in nature especially …
Chose Paylocity
We haven't really tried any other products that are similar to Paylocity that handles all of the HR tasks.
Chose Paylocity
Paylocity has a lot of advantage over these as it combines multiple features and not only features the way it makes it easier for employees to navigate and use those is a big plus and made the decision making easier for using this over othe solutions. Having great features is …
Chose Paylocity
UKG Pro is hard on the eyes, not as intuitive, and the payroll module is rather complex. The system is very powerful but it is best suited for seasoned system admins, which not all HR teams have this type of expertise.
Chose Paylocity
I think ADP's payroll interface is a little bit better. Paylocity has more personal service but I wouldn't say it's necessarily better.
Chose Paylocity
I selected Paylocity because of ease of use. ADP is clunky and Paycom makes a lot of claims that are not true. isolved is the most basic system I've ever used.
Chose Paylocity
Paylocity is SO far ahead of Paycor, it's not even funny. Just from the implementation standpoint alone, Paycor was an absolute nightmare. Paylocity had some struggles, but that goes along with any implementation. The experience with Paylocity was LIGHTYEARS ahead of our …
Chose Paylocity
Paycom, you select your integrations, you have way more integrations than are possible for them. So it makes it easier to be a one-stop shop on all those integrations.
Chose Paylocity
I've used ADP, UKG, I've used quite a bit. So I think that it's in comparison, I think it's kind of ranked up there. One two. From my experience, again, it's just the ease of navigation, the steps to bring onboarding and communication. I like it. It's just a great product.
Chose Paylocity
Way better, easy to use, very user friendly for employees.
Chose Paylocity
My preference is Paylocity due to the ease of use and the employee experience.
Chose Paylocity
I feel like they all provide approximately the same services, and it came down to honesty. Both Paychex and Paycor were dishonest with us, and I wasn't comfortable staying with them.

It is well suited when it comes to creating specific reports. Also when we need some quick data, what department someone is in or we need a pay rate history on someone. One of our entities the time and labor feature doesnt really do all we need to do only because we have a more complex way of tracking our labor

Pros
  • Payroll is made pretty easy. I love that we have the ability to log into payroll, we just upload the information from commissions, things like that where there are exceptions to a regular payroll run. It may make it very easy to do that, just a quick upload. Additionally, when we're in the payroll grid, it gives us the ability to just make quick changes to people's pay or their tax schedule, tax withholdings, things like that without having to go through a lot of different screens. It's just very easy to access just for the click of a button. Love that.
  • We talked about performance reviews, talked about payroll with benefits administration, it allows us to utilize EDI feeds with our benefit vendors so it creates a seamless, but we just enter the information into Paylocity and then it seamlessly provides that information to our vendors. That's been really helpful. And adjusting benefits is also very easy within Paylocity. I love the recent edition of compensation analysis information, so I'm able to go into the compensation module and look for jobs that are similar to a job title at our company. I can enter the job description, I give them what state that the person or the job is in, and it pops out compensation data. It gives me different options, so titles that might be similar. So if there's not something that's an exact fit, I'm able to find something really, really close. It's been a huge upgrade because before that I was having to use a different vendor and paying $400 per job and now it's significantly less expensive to Paylocity and I'm still getting great quality data. It's been very helpful.

Cons
  • Customer service could use some work. It can be difficult to get a hold of customer service and get an answer in a timely manner.
  • Being able to build custom reports in Paylocity is a helpful feature, but making it a little more user-friendly would be great.
  • It would be helpful to see on the employee time card how many hours the employee worked per day.

We most likely will because we are learning how to use it better all the time. It does integrate with our Advanced Benefits. But the customer service is not responsive when needing help. It almost always requires several contacts to get anywhere, and the contacts can be several days apart. Once you actually get to TALK to someone, things are usually resolved fairly quickly, but their email system is not efficient. I get half answers and they close the ticket! But once I can get to someone, it is almost always great service. Very hard to get someone though.

Usability
Overall, the system is user friendly. There are some issues with onboarding and workflows I wish we could change. We also have some issues with cost centers and custom calcs in our payroll batches which can be frustrating. No system is 100% perfect, especially when you are trying to get something all-in-one, but it does a pretty great job overall.

Reliability and Availability
Over the last 3 years, we've only had one major service issue that rendered Airbase unusable for us for about 24 hours. That said, they navigated the SVB bank crisis very well and made sure funds were available during that time.

Performance
We had some minor hiccups throughout the year but they have all been fixable. Paylocity integrates well with our 401k provider, Principal, and our benefits, OneDigital. It makes it simple to house everything and have it all connected. It doesn't slow anything down to have Principal integrated. It makes it more efficient

In-Person Training
I didn't have in-person training, but I'm sure it was just as great as any other training/assistance Paylocity provides. Paylocity customer service is always available. You never have to be on hold and their answers are always accurate and timely. Documents in the help section are helpful as well. My in-person training was conducted y one of our employees who was involved in the initial set-up and training of all employees. She was excellent.

Our rep was very thorough and made sure we fully understood the software before turning us loose alone. Paylocity was very good to do periodic check ins to ensure we understood the features and answered any questions we had. The training reps are very well trained and are very patient with clients.

Implementation Rating
We were handed off to multiple implementation people, some quit, one went on leave, one left suddenly, one was transfered to a diff dept...all causing a significant amount of disruption for our team. Many had conflicting info on how to properly set things up...hence a complete mess was left for us to figure out

Return on Investment
  • Paylocity has helped us with recruitment by streamlining the process and making it efficient. It is saving me time.
  • Paylocity has also helped us with compensation so we can create a fair and robust compensation plan.
  • I also like using the data insights feature, which helps me keep track of over time, payroll and benefits costs, and retention numbers. This also saves me time as it is all in one place.
