AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- G2 reviewers report that Paylocity excels in overall user satisfaction, boasting a significantly higher G2 Score compared to SurePayroll. Users appreciate the platform's user-friendly interface, noting that it allows them to "do most everything online and it's fairly straightforward."
- Users say that Paylocity's implementation process is quick and intuitive, with many highlighting the helpfulness of the support team. In contrast, while SurePayroll also receives praise for its setup, particularly from users like Hammad who experienced outstanding support, the overall volume of recent reviews for Paylocity suggests a more robust and reliable implementation experience.
- Reviewers mention that Paylocity offers a comprehensive suite of features that cater well to mid-market businesses, including advanced payroll functionalities and compliance support. Users have noted that the platform is "very user friendly" and that the Paylocity team is knowledgeable about payroll compliance, making it a strong choice for HR and payroll professionals.
- According to verified reviews, SurePayroll shines in its ease of use for small businesses, with users finding it effective for managing taxes and withholdings. One user remarked that it "really made the fussy parts of being an employer go away," indicating its suitability for smaller operations that may not require the extensive features of Paylocity.
- Users highlight that while both platforms offer solid support, Paylocity's quality of support is slightly lower than SurePayroll's, with reviewers noting that Paylocity's support team is helpful but not as personalized as the experiences shared by SurePayroll users. This suggests that smaller businesses may find SurePayroll's support more tailored to their needs.
- Reviewers indicate that Paylocity's reporting and dashboard capabilities are superior, with users appreciating the detailed insights available. In contrast, while SurePayroll also provides reporting features, Paylocity's offerings are seen as more robust, making it a better fit for businesses that require in-depth analytics for decision-making.
