Unified, intuitive system - "gets the core right"

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Paylocity from other similar products?

Paylocity stands out because it feels like a truly unified system — not a payroll product with HR features tacked on. The experience across modules is consistent and intuitive, which makes it easy to navigate and use. Everything feels thoughtfully integrated, rather than pieced together like many competing platforms.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The user interface and overall ease of use are excellent. Reporting capabilities are strong, and I really appreciate how structured and “locked down” the system is. There’s little room for confusion or interpretation — everything is clearly defined, which makes it simple for both HR and employees to use confidently.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Some of the talent management features could be more robust. The performance management and recruiting tools, for example, are fairly basic compared to competitors. The compensation management tool is useful but could benefit from more flexibility and sophistication to better support complex pay structures/ events happening in parallel.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you’re looking for a stable, intuitive HR and payroll system with strong core HR and reporting functionality, Paylocity is a great choice. It’s especially good for organizations that value consistency and ease of use. However, if advanced talent management or recruiting features are a top priority, you may need to supplement those areas with other tools or plan for limited customization.
