Always improving features
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Paylocity from other similar products?
The value for the features offered. Very good client support, training, and knowledge base.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The enhanced payroll process. It has cut our payroll time to less than half of what it was before. Worforce management and document capabilities are also good.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Reporting. There is not much customization with the dynamic reporting, and it is too complex for someone who doesn't have hours to spend testing it. How about an enhancement that allows you to drag and drop data fields to create custom reports?
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Test the demo to get a feel for the product. Speak to someone who has been using it for a while to get a clear understanding of the capabilities and value.
