AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- G2 reviewers report that Paycor excels in overall user satisfaction, reflected in its higher G2 Score compared to QuickBooks Payroll. Users appreciate the ability to adjust payroll after processing, which adds flexibility to their operations.
- According to verified reviews, Paycor's user interface is noted for its intuitiveness, making it easy for users to navigate and manage payroll without extensive backend involvement. In contrast, QuickBooks Payroll users mention that while it integrates well with QuickBooks Online, it lacks the efficiency of some dedicated payroll systems.
- Users say that Paycor's customer support is particularly knowledgeable about specific tax issues, which is a significant advantage for organizations like churches. QuickBooks Payroll, however, has received feedback about security concerns, with some users feeling that it could be vulnerable to impersonation risks.
- Reviewers mention that Paycor's implementation process is generally smooth, although some users find it slightly less straightforward than QuickBooks Payroll, which is praised for its quick and simple setup. This ease of setup is a strong point for QuickBooks, especially for small businesses looking for a hassle-free onboarding experience.
- According to recent user feedback, Paycor's payroll entry feature is highly rated, with users enjoying the straightforward process. In comparison, QuickBooks Payroll users appreciate its customization options, but some feel that it doesn't fully meet their specific workflow needs.
- G2 reviewers highlight that Paycor offers robust features like direct deposit and payroll adjustments, which are well-received. QuickBooks Payroll, while offering solid features like tax calculation and integration with other software, has been noted for its limitations in efficiency compared to more specialized payroll solutions.
