    As far as functionality and performance under the standard, but pricing, they are the best!

    Proliant is way above Quickbooks!

    For years Quickbooks fumbled and messed up so many things for my business and every time I would try to resolve them I would receive conflicting solutions from the Quickbooks representatives whom spoke very little English.

    I had an issue with ADP not filing state tax returns properly, so Proliant definitely beats them in that department.

    I don't remember who else we looked at, but Proliant was the easiest to use and at a similar cost.

    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 …

    I think Proliant provides the best customer service out of any platform I have used. There are, however, some areas where there could be improvement. It is difficult to enter Holidays, and the add or remove PTO. The ease of connection with the Benefits Portal is a plus as well …

    We liked the Proliant site and app better than Asure, it is more reliable and much easier to navigate.

    Proliant is incredibly easy to use and has the most available integrations compared to others I have used. Additionally, Proliant has great customer service and I am always able to connect with a live person with minimal delay.

    Proliant is outstanding in comparison to TimeClock Plus, TimeClock Plus was terrible when it came to reports, integrations. Not user-friendly at all, too many manual processes, not able to process the entire payroll, just a timekeeping tool basically.

    Overall, I would generally recommend Proliant to a colleague as I think the system and structure has great bones and is generally very easy to use. However, if a colleague was needing a system with a robust reporting system or access to immediate support, I would be less likely to recommend the system.

    Cons
    Proliant
    • Reporting is limited to data that is pulled by pay period--not by date worked, so if trying to determine how much an employee earned during a quarter--you have to calculate this manually
    • Employee records are limited to admin only viewing--so managers can not see payrates, upload documents to employee files or update expiration dates to licenses, etc
    • User guides in the knowledge base are out of date and don't cover the recent updates to the system--or outline processes that are no defunct
    • Limited integrations with other HR platforms are available. Ex--outside ATS, candidate assessment tools

    Usability
    Proliant
    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.

    Proliant is the only payroll software I have used, and I don't plan on changing that anytime soon. It gives me everything I need in simple, easy-to-use software. If I have questions they have quality customer service. I get calls weekly to change to other payroll services, and I don't consider changing because there is no need to change - I have everything I need here. Proliant does exactly the job I am looking for it to do.

    Return on Investment
    Proliant
    • i am not able to give this information because I don't believe our firm fully uses Proliant
    • I was just made aware of some of the benefits Proliant can offer through this survey
    • The only negative is that when the "pre-wire" requirement was activated this year, we were not told ahead of time and it caused a lot of confusion and delay when we tried to process the first partner payroll in January.
