Chose TotalVerify from Equifax

I have not evaluated other products yet, but I plan to transition as soon as I have the time. I will transition to literally anyone else.
Chose SurePayroll
Nannychex was amazing - SurePayroll has been a nightmare for us.
Chose SurePayroll
We've used SurePayroll for years with no hiccups so we didn't think the time to transfer over would be worth it.
Chose SurePayroll
I was not part of the committee that selected SurePayroll so I am unsure about why SurePayroll was selected. I do know our Board and Executive Director looked for a platform that was cost-efficient and helped us achieve the goals of our organization without taking up too much …
Chose SurePayroll
SurePayroll offers a comparable service at a better rate. They are better designed for small companies who need to save money any way they can. Their fees are more appropriate than ADP but the service offerings are just as good.
Chose SurePayroll
QuickBooks was not user-friendly, tech support was nonexistent, and I still had to file federal and state filings. SurePayroll takes care of all that for me.
Chose SurePayroll
Since we started with them at the bank for $39 per month 8 years ago, I have compared them to ADP and QuickBooks.
Chose SurePayroll
SurePayroll was the product being used here when I started. I was surprised how simple it was to use and appreciate all the reports it produces.
Chose SurePayroll
SurePayroll is lower cost than Paychex, but I would recommend using Paychex despite their higher cost because they are more closely in communication with the tax divisions that are administering payroll taxes, and are less likely to make an error in my experience so far.
Chose SurePayroll
Easy to setup and affordable monthly cost to ensure standard payroll and tax preparation.
Other services were for whole year contract and expensive.
Chose SurePayroll
I've used ADP previously. I've used Paychex, which SurePayroll is now part of. None of the solutions are perfect, so I'll stay with SurePayroll until something better comes along.

Equifax Verification is best suited to our needs in our rental application process, whereby applicants 18 years of age and older are required to submit to a credit and background check in order to assess their application. This is in conjunction with following all applicable local, state and federal fair housing regulations, which Equifax does a great job in following, as well

We use SurePayroll to make monthly payrolls in our company, as well as to close the month and year with all the income and expenses and most importantly to make tax payments. The application is perfect for making payrolls when the personnel adapted for it is not in the head office, SurePayroll has an application for mobiles that allows to make these operations remotely. The application is perfect when you want to make immediate payments, at the time of loading the payroll to the system, it proceeds to automatically perform transactions for each employee entered without any error.

  • Super easy interface - honestly running payroll couldn't be easier on their site.
  • Incredible customer service - VERY knowledgeable, professional and friendly. They will walk you through anything you need to do on the site and understand payroll, tax and benefit issues.
  • Tax filing and payments and year-end paperwork for 1099 contractors and W-2s. They make it so easy.

Cons
  • they can reduce their pricing
  • they can improve their customer support
  • they can make changes to their user interface

  • My chief complaint is the software sometimes requires me to have a code sent to my phone before I can continue with some process. That in itself is fine. The problem is the check box that lets SurePayroll remember the computer doesn't actually do that. I select that check box every time, but the software doesn't remember me or my computer.
  • Fees have creeped higher every year over the last two or three years. I feel like I'm nitpicking here, though. What I spend for the service is reasonably priced for the amount of headaches it prevents.
  • I have a case where an employee is sometimes salaried and sometimes contract. There's not a way to handle that without terminating him when he needs to switch.

It's a poor user interface. It feels like the interface is twenty years old. If you make a mistake with payroll in their terrible UI, and try to correct it 15 seconds later, they want to charge you $39 to correct your mistake. Overall, a very poor experience in terms of user interface.

SurePayroll was great when we had questions or needed support, ie. if we messed up with a payroll, needed to submit tax documents or get documents. The ease of communication between us and the organization was great and they made it easy for users to call in with support requests.

Suppose you are a property manager and would like to verify your tenants' details. In that case, Equifax is one of the most popular and commonly used id verification or background check software that is suggested to use. Cost wise every check is about $13 but it is worth paying the money and getting the tenants verified rather than having the wrong tenants on the property. Other software do not provide any reliable data

  • SurePayroll has made my life so much easier. Prior to using a payroll service and trying to do it myself, I was charged fees by the government for failure to file correctly or on time. Having it done professionally and correctly eases stress.
