Pro Software vs. Proliant

I demo'd some other software and at the time, the other software felt "better" but were way more expensive. Pro Software now does what those other software did, but the price is likely still better.

I recommend Proliant based on the customizable aspects and customer service of the team. Their teams are incredibly easy to work with and the system is on par with even the most expensive payroll and HRIS systems on the market. I highly recommend Proliant for fellow restaurant industry colleagues for ease of use and price point.

• Great Support, they listen
• Overall, the software works great
• Very secure platform

• Some of the help for the training modules, [...] has been fantastic
• [...] has also been really helpful
• Adding a new employee to the system has been relatively easy and simple to do

• When we started with them, they were young and were missing quite a few things, that's all rectified now though
• The things that were missing were sometimes shocking, and they are now working on some of those things
• Customers don't always love all the security features, but they are necessary so what can you do

Incentivized

• I cannot get RPO to be changed to how it needs to be for our business needs (when T&L employees move to salaried, for example). I have had several meetings regarding this and it still is not fixed -- more than a year later
• Slow response from employee.helpdesk@proliant.com often leads me to send messages to payroll administrator for response
• I believe we are paying for some added services; I do not know what these services are and I've asked on several occasions to have someone contact me about this.

While it's not perfect, Pro Software is getting there and overall, it's a very usable system.

Proliant is pretty easy to maneuver and get used to. There are some things than can be tedious but nothing too difficult where you have to spend hours to get it to work. The payroll processing is pretty straightforward and that's the core reason why we use their software.

It was lower cost and as they were a growing company, it allowed them to grow with us. I don't have much else to say about it than that. They've been a good partner, and that's just it, they are a partner, not just a software vendor, at least for us.

The system as a whole is very similar in a lot of ways to what we demoed with Paycom and what we used with ADP. I would say that payroll is significantly simpler with Proliant than it was with ADP. Having a designated account manager and point of contact was a main selling point for us with choosing Proliant over our other options and while that has proved to be an asset, we do wish there was a general customer support line for quick questions like we had with ADP.

• There are many areas where we were blind to say tax changes that might be updated within the system
• There are lots of areas where a more streamlined automated approach hasn't been available
• In many of those cases, they were corrected however. Some we're still waiting for

Incentivized

• The payroll clerk is able to pre-process payruns so that she doesn't need a backup on days she is out of the office
• Have eliminated an internal need for someone to handle payroll tax and compliance filings
• EDI feeds with benefits providers have elminated the need to manually update benefits providers with each employee change
