What differentiates Paylocity from other similar products?

It is easy to use, all information is easy to locate, management tools are great, it works as expected, to approve timecards or time-off is very simple, very user-friendly and good interface.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The fact that information is easy to locate and that you do not need to invest time in getting to know each feature because it is really simple to use, approving time-off is easy so this is a plus .

What do you dislike most about this product?

The major thing I dislike is that you need to log in whenever you have to work on it or to create a pause-stamp, it does not take long but if the same could stay logged in it will be a great update.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

That take the chance to prove it mostly because of how easy is to manage information and how easy it is to use, also great customer support whenever is needed.

9 /10

What differentiates Paylocity from other similar products?

Training modules and live training have been a valuable tool for learning Paylocity. I have several clients who implemented Paylocity, coming from other platforms. Paylocity was able to provide a smooth transition from one platform to another with minimal challenges. Clients are able to choose the training that works best for their employee population. While the end result is that everyone is paid correctly, getting to the end result is equally important.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect of the product is the training available. You can choose instructor led training or training modules. That has been so valuable in implementing Paylocity.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Reporting can be a challenge. I have submitted several requests for custom reports due to not being able to get the data I need in a format I need. The other frustrating thing is not being able to reach a specific department without going through one account manager. It would be more productive, in my opinion, to be able to reach billing or general ledger, or any other department directly.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Be very specific with your business needs. Paylocity is capable of providing what you need as long as you communicate well. The implementation process may seem tedious, but it is necessary to get the result you desire.

Pros

  • Reliable
  • Enables Productivity
  • Efficient Service
  • Respectful

Cons

  • Under Delivered
