- Users say that Deel Payroll offers a variety of payment options, including the ability to send payments to any bank account and utilize the Deel Card. This flexibility is highlighted as a major advantage, making it a preferred choice for companies looking for diverse payment solutions.
- Reviewers mention that while Oyster provides a seamless onboarding experience for third-party employment, it faces challenges in overall user satisfaction. Some users have noted that although the platform is easy to navigate, it does not match the level of satisfaction seen with Deel Payroll.
- According to verified reviews, Deel Payroll's implementation process is praised for its speed and efficiency, with users highlighting the "intuitive onboarding wizard" that simplifies setup. In contrast, Oyster's setup process has been described as less straightforward, which may lead to longer onboarding times.
