The Net Emotional Footprint measures high-level user sentiment towards particular product offerings. It aggregates emotional response ratings for various dimensions of the vendor-client relationship and product effectiveness, creating a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and product.
While purchasing decisions shouldn't be based on emotion, it's valuable to know what kind of emotional response the vendor you're considering elicits from their users.

What differentiates Paylocity from other similar products?
It offers a modern, all-in-one payroll/HR platform with strong employee-self-service tools, mobile access, on-demand pay, and newer functionality like spend management and AI assistants that set it apart
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
My favorite aspect is the employee self-service + mobile app: employees can access paystubs, time off requests, and schedules themselves, which reduces admin burden and improves transparency
What do you dislike most about this product?
The biggest downside is that some users find aspects of the UI (especially mobile/time tracking) less intuitive or slower to configure than they’d like, and pricing/implementation can be less transparent.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I’d recommend: Make sure you map out your specific workflows ahead of time (time tracking, accruals, mobile use) so you know it will fit. Ask for a live demo of the mobile/time & labor features and test on actual devices. Review pricing, service/implementation timelines, and support levels clearly. If you have complex integrations or unique needs, check how well customization works and whether you’ll need extra consulting.
