I like that it makes running payroll easier for our small business. As a small family business, I can make sure everything is correct on our end, and ProLiant can handle all the processing for us. It gives us peace of mind and helps us spend our time on more pressing matters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I honestly haven’t found a downside to using ProLiant compared to our previous process. The only thing I can point to is that if our internet connection goes down, or if ProLiant is having technical issues, it can create a short wait period. Even then, it’s manageable and not something that would make me stop using ProLiant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We had some personnel changes last year, and the ProLiant team was a great help in working with new staff to understand the system and make necessary changes to better meet the needs of our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When printing check stubs under the Pay History tab, it would be of great help to be able to print more than one at a time. Having to click on each individual check to print the stub takes up quite a bit of time that we really don't have to spare. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate that ProLiant's customer service is probably the best I've seen. We're still finalizing implementation, but everybody has been top notch, making a challenging experience very easy. The level of training, customer service, and knowledge we have had with ProLiant is excellent. The initial setup of ProLiant was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was actually just having this conversation this morning. There are a couple things that we don't love, like how they sort by employee ID versus last name, and it's easier for us by last name. So I would love to see that changed or have the ability to change that. For everything that we don't like, there are 10 things that we love, so the good definitely outweigh anything we dislike.

I find ProLiant very helpful with onboarding, especially simplifying eVerify for us. All of the onboarding forms are collected and available in one repository, which is super convenient. The PTO requests and tracking are streamlined through ProLiant, making it an efficient process. I love having a dedicated representative who is extremely responsive whenever we have a question or issue. The payroll process itself is very intuitive and flows well, and the initial setup was very easy with attentiveness and help from the ProLiant team. The integration is great, as we're transitioning to ProLiant for better data consolidation all in one place/software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there was a way to automatically pro-rate a salaried employee whose employment begins mid-payroll period. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Two standout capabilities completely transform our German HR compliance workflows: guaranteed domestic data residency and rock-solid consistent uptime for our payroll systems. Hosting every piece of employee PII, DATEV payroll data and personnel audit logs on our on-site ProLiant hardware means we never have to compile lengthy quarterly Schrems II cross-border data transfer assessments that cloud hosting forces our competitors to complete. I can run our Documize compliance archive library and live DATEV payroll sync databases side-by-side simultaneously with zero lag or unexpected outages, which is non-negotiable when hitting tight month-end payroll and audit deadlines. Beyond data location and reliability, the built-in hardware security stack and flexible hot-swap storage scaling save our IT and HR teams dozens of admin hours monthly. Native server-level hardware encryption meets all technical safeguard rules laid out in DSGVO; every payroll file, medical staff record and employment contract is locked at rest directly on the hardware itself. Real-time security monitoring triggers immediate alerts for any unauthorized login or server access attempt, and all activity logs auto-save in a format our local German data protection authority accepts for official audits. The hot-swappable drive bays are a game-changer during payroll close—we expand storage capacity to archive growing client HR records without powering down active DATEV or Documize databases. Our IT team also leverages the integrated remote administration panel to perform routine maintenance after hours, so we never interrupt daily HR processing for our manufacturing clients.

The biggest ongoing pain point is the far higher upfront capital investment plus recurring annual maintenance licensing fees when stacked against cloud HR hosting solutions. For mid-sized German compliance-focused firms like ours, this hardware overhead creates a larger yearly IT budget line item that cloud alternatives avoid. There are zero pre-built, localized German audit reporting templates optimized for DSGVO and GoBD recordkeeping standards; our internal IT resource has to manually build custom log export schemas from scratch every quarter to submit evidence to our external data protection auditor. Service responsiveness is another consistent frustration: any hardware component failure requires a certified HPE field technician to travel out from central Stuttgart. If a drive or controller fault strikes during the critical month-end DATEV payroll closing window, wait times for on-site repairs extend operational downtime, which puts our payroll submission deadlines at risk.

Sometimes it's unclear who the specialized support reps are for specific areas (tax, time & labor) especially since we have several companies. It would be nice to have a uniform team for all of our accounts and have this reflected in the "My Service Team" part of the website. I have sometimes received poor service from the reps (besides our account reps who have been very responsive and helpful) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I find most helpful about ProLiant is how it simplifies and centralizes HR and payroll management. Having payroll, time tracking, benefits administration, and HR reporting all in one system makes day-to-day operations much more efficient. The platform reduces manual work, minimizes errors, and helps ensure compliance with tax regulations and labor laws, which gives peace of mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The least helpful is the system can feel overwhelming at first, especially for new users, and may require extra time or training to navigate. Some reports and customizations can also take additional steps or assistance to set up exactly as needed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the one-on-one relationship with my rep, Sue, at ProLiant. She makes the experience seamless, and I have found her assistance phenomenal, especially when dealing with employee W4 forms, correcting payroll issues, and setting up new employees. The employee self-service feature and the ease of setup of the portal are great. Overall, my experience with ProLiant has been wonderful, and their initial setup was very straightforward.

Nothing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the customer service and the dedicated account managers are pretty on it, and they're pretty quick to respond when I have issues or concerns, which is great. The interface is decently easy to understand. I also appreciate that it can do a lot, even though I don't use many of the features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think there's way too much going on and too many options, which makes it complicated for people like me who just want to keep it simple and easy. I wish the payroll process was more straightforward; like, just push a button to do payroll. Sometimes they recommend adding new pay codes or employee departments, which is overwhelming for a small retail company like ours with less than 10 employees. It feels like I need to be an HR expert to figure it out. The onboarding setup required going through lots of changes and rabbit holes to find basic things, which could be simpler.

I like that ProLiant's employees are really nice and helpful. It's easy to use, which is a big plus for me. I also find it convenient to use their clocking in time feature as it keeps track of the time efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've had a few issues with setting up new employees, which could be improved. Also, setting up ProLiant was very time consuming and took a long time, although the employees from ProLiant were very helpful during the setup process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
