    I would say pretty good. I know that we previously used Paycor, but I don't believe we really enjoyed it, which is why we switched to Paylocity.

    Since we started working with Paylocity, overall it has been an amazing experience for several departments. There is things we are looking to also move towards to make everyone's lives easier and to help lift the burden of certain tasks. Whenever we come across something we might have suggestions or improvement plans on, our account manager is always available with open ears and eyes to see what we would like to help improve on.

    It's great if you have a small contact center and are very comfortable with Vantage Point's coding, and you don't use Macs. Outside of that it can be a pretty tough platform to use. If you are running a large contact center or anything that will change much, I wouldn't recommend Vantage Point

    Pros
    Paylocity
    • When I need assistance, calling the help line is easy, and most of the time there isn't a long wait. Also, they can and do call back if necessary. I have had Zoom meetings to address issues that required more than just a phone call.
    • Tracking taxes and filing reports is truly important to us so that we file in a timely manner and avoid penalties and interest. We incurred many penalties when we were using QuickBooks.
    • Keeping track of employee documents such as I-9 forms along with visas, work authorizations, resident cards, driver's licenses, and certifications is easy and in one location.
    • With Paylocity, we can easily see who filled out applications. Previously, we used paper applications, which were more manual and involved looking through actual paperwork. This was hard to manage.

    Cons
    Paylocity
    • There's a lot of confusion of the Effective Date and Begin Check Date.
    • Better explanations of cross-company managers when not all companies use the same modules.
    • Better explanation of the Time and Labor piece and how we can better utilize live labor, forecasting, and overall scheduling.

    • Predications are not accurate, much less than 80% they advertise
    • Price point is high
    • Try to charge you for indicators [that] would be free on literally any platform, MACD for example

    The system is easy to use. I love the knowledge base system offered, I can answer many of my questions by looking here first before calling in. If i do have to call in to the help desk, everyone seems to be super knowledgably about the Paylocity Product and if they are unable to assist, which rarely happens, they will escalate my call to the next level of assistance

    Usability
    Paylocity
    We are a small company with a great deal of turnover due to our low pay. Paylocity makes it easy to keep everything in one location. The PEAK guide and the Knowledge Base do help to figure things out without having to reach out to customer service. It really is nice to have everything in one place where employees can find it just as useful on their end. They can access their schedule, pay stubs, request PTO as well as several other features

    Reliability and Availability
    Paylocity
    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
    Paylocity
    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

    Support Rating
    Paylocity
    I have contacted support on several occasions, mostly for assistance with voiding a check and running an off-cycle payroll. The account managers and support team were all very knowledgeable and helpful. They provided great insight and clarity in answering my questions and helping me navigate these processes. I learn something new and helpful each time I speak with them! On a separate note, we have reported technical issues regarding several Paylocity onboarding tasks since this past year. We have reached out several times regarding these issues, but are still waiting for a resolution. It seems sometimes that technical concerns are reported, with no proper solution or follow-up.

    We didn't have a clear operating agreement, and whenever we would call or email them they would tell us they were working on something, then we wouldn't hear back. We could have solved the problems ourselves if we had known we needed to - poor communication

    In-Person Training
    Paylocity
    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.

    It was virtually, click orange button in top right corner, click run report, hit submit. The training was minimal at best. I did not know what I was doing, so I just wrote down the steps, so when they steps failed I had no idea what to do, where I was in the process, What the terms mean or where to find them. When I had questions it was always the same answers, no understanding for WHAT I was doing when I hit the orange button.

    Implementation was a bit bumpy and Paylocity team not always available for next steps and/or questions. I feel like Paylocity could have done a better job in their fact finding as far as what we were currently doing, our payroll policies and needs, etc. so that we would have run into less issues as we moved forward.

    Paycor was very clunky compared to Paylocity. The direct deposit for pay, taxes, benefits is very simple and straight forward. Posting from Paylocity into our GL is also very seamless. The customer service response time is very good and I feel as though the techs care about the problem I am experiencing and do their best to resolve it timely.

    We picked Vantage Point based on functionality and price. We wanted something that was purely wfm and not anything else. Vantage Point has an a la carte solution and is very economical. In some ways, the failure of Vantage Point for our application wasn't Vantage Point's fault. We didn't dedicate as many resources as needed. That said, we didn't feel we got any support from their team

    I have never had an issue with the tool where it was down or unavailable and caused problems with my business. The system seems to be up pretty consistently and I don't think we have had many, if any, issues utilizing it. I do not have any concerns about the reliability at this point.

    Some are knowledgable others not as much and sometimes instead of helping you fix the issue will just give you some directions and expect you to try to figure it out yourself. Also, when your Account Manager needs to escliate the issue to another group, it can take a long time for them to get to your issue and there's no commuication.

    Return on Investment
    Paylocity
    • Data-driven decision-making would be on top, I would say. Paylocity provides a detailed summary report that one can use to make decisions, and the infographics are pretty modern too.
    • Paylocity cost significantly less than its competitors that I know if.
    • In a way, this does reduce errors because if you forgot to clock-in, you have to manually add a time punch, it has to come with a note, and your supervisor has to approve it while you wait for like 24 to 48 hours. So in order to avoid all that, one has to make sure they got all the details correctly.

    • Not much impact.
    • Learned we needed to dedicate a full FTE to just program/manage Vantage Point.
    • We eventually built our own scheduling tool since it was not intuitive.
