AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- Users report that Paycor excels in its Payroll Entry feature, scoring 8.5, which reviewers mention makes processing payroll straightforward and efficient. In contrast, PrimePay's Payroll Entry scored 8.1, indicating it is still effective but may not be as user-friendly.
- Reviewers mention that PrimePay shines in Expense Management, with a score of 8.3, highlighting its robust capabilities for tracking and managing employee expenses. Paycor, however, received a lower score of 6.1 in this area, suggesting it may lack some essential features that users desire.
- G2 users indicate that Paycor's Time, Attendance, and PTO feature is well-received, scoring 7.6, but PrimePay outperforms it with a score of 8.5. Users on G2 appreciate PrimePay's intuitive interface for managing time off requests and attendance tracking.
- Users say that PrimePay's Employee Self-Service Portal is highly rated at 8.7, allowing employees to manage their information easily. In comparison, Paycor's portal scored 8.0, which, while functional, may not offer the same level of user satisfaction.
- Reviewers mention that Paycor's Compliance features score 7.6, which is competitive, but PrimePay's score of 8.0 indicates a stronger emphasis on regulatory compliance, making it a better choice for businesses that prioritize this aspect.
- Users report that PrimePay's Benefits Administration features are particularly strong, scoring 8.3, which reviewers say provides a comprehensive solution for managing employee benefits. Paycor's score of 7.6 suggests it may not offer the same depth of features in this area.
