Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Paylocity from other similar products?

Our sales guy was helpful, communicative, and responsive to our questions and concerns throughout the entire process. The software developers are continually looking for user input so they may make further enhancements.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Paylocity is a breeze to use. Despite having no prior experience with the system, I was able to teach myself how to exploit it. In addition, the support staff is fantastic. They are quick to respond to issues and provide excellent follow-up.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It's difficult to navigate the portal. This complicates the process of keeping courses current without starting from scratch every time. There are occasions when the system's bugs cause confusion among our employees.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The company's focus on customers is an area where Paylocity can greatly improve. When a business has paid for and installed your services, revealing so much confidential information and placing unrestricted faith in you, unanswered emails are unacceptable.

Pros

Enables Productivity
Efficient Service
Security Protects
Helps Innovate
