AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- Users report that Paylocity excels in its "Employee Self Service" features, particularly the "Web Portal" which received a score of 9.0, making it easy for employees to access their information. In contrast, Sling's self-service capabilities, while decent, do not match this level of user satisfaction.
- Reviewers mention that Paylocity's "Payroll Entry" feature is highly rated at 9.1, providing a seamless experience for payroll processing. Sling, however, has not received the same level of acclaim in this area, indicating potential challenges for users managing payroll.
- G2 users highlight Paylocity's strong "Time, Attendance, and PTO" management with a score of 8.4, which is crucial for mid-market companies. Sling, while catering to small businesses, may not offer the same depth in these functionalities, leading to a less comprehensive experience for users with more complex needs.
- Reviewers say that Paylocity's "Quality of Support" is rated at 8.5, indicating a reliable support system for users. In comparison, Sling's support rating of 8.6 suggests it may have a slight edge, but the difference is minimal, and users may find Paylocity's support more tailored to their needs.
- Users on G2 report that Paylocity's "Performance Reviews" feature, with a score of 8.0, provides essential tools for employee evaluations. Sling's performance management features, while functional, do not seem to offer the same level of customization and effectiveness, which could impact user satisfaction.
- Reviewers mention that Paylocity's "Compliance" features are rated at 8.3, which is vital for businesses navigating regulatory requirements. Sling's compliance capabilities, while present, may not be as robust, potentially leaving users with gaps in their compliance management.
