AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- G2 reviewers report that UKG Pro excels in overall user satisfaction, reflected in its higher G2 Score compared to Paycor. Users appreciate its ease of use and the seamless integration of features, making daily tasks more efficient.
- Users say that UKG Pro's mobile application is particularly intuitive, allowing for quick access to company information and management of work hours and PTO. In contrast, while Paycor is also noted for its user-friendliness, some users feel it lacks the same level of comprehensive functionality.
- Reviewers mention that UKG Pro shines in its talent onboarding and management features, which are praised for their effectiveness. Paycor, while offering solid onboarding capabilities, does not receive the same level of acclaim for this aspect, with users indicating it could be improved.
- According to verified reviews, Paycor stands out for its payroll flexibility, allowing users to adjust payroll after processing. This feature is particularly beneficial for organizations with unique payroll needs, such as churches, where tax issues can be complex.
- Users highlight that UKG Pro's support quality is superior, with many noting the responsiveness and helpfulness of the support team. Paycor's support is generally seen as adequate, but some users have expressed a desire for more specialized assistance.
- G2 reviewers indicate that while both products cater well to mid-market companies, UKG Pro has a broader range of features that appeal to diverse organizational needs, making it a more robust choice for companies looking for comprehensive HR solutions.
