Considered Both Products
Greenshades
Chose Greenshades
Selected Greenshades due to the connector that was already built for Dynamics GP and the modules that would help in house payroll be more efficiently processed.
Chose Greenshades
We didn't evaluate it against anything else - we knew we wanted to utilize Greenshades.
Chose Greenshades
In my previous place of employment, we used the Paycom system as our resource for managing hours and time. I do believe that the Paycom system had more privacy and safety aspects implemented with their software. However, Greenshades Software is a very user-friendly website that …
Netchex
Chose Netchex
We were looking for a company to help us manange ObamaCare (ACA) and Quickbooks Payroll did not offer any options. ADP did not have the extensive program that Netchex offered. ADP was also much more expensive. Netchex ACA Central was the best product on the market and the best …
Chose Netchex
By far Netchex has been the best.
Chose Netchex
I like that they are not so big that they ignore the small customers. They are also reasonably priced. Their support is excellent, I had worked with ADP in a prior position, and we did not have the same kind of support
Chose Netchex
Netchex runs smoother and is more efficient than Paychex. It also has fewer technical difficulties.
Chose Netchex
Netchex customer services and access to create an excel report the way I want it was not offered by the other products in the past.
Chose Netchex
We have used Paychex and ADP. The customer service with Paychex was horrible. I was having an issue with our HSAs at the beginning of the year and asked them to fix it. Our last payroll with them was March 25th and that issue was still not resolved. ADPs customer service …
Chose Netchex
Netchex is much more user-friendly and much more of a robust payroll system. Netchex also takes care of everything regarding employees and their entire time with the company, but GP is much more limited.
Chose Netchex
I would rank Netchex above the other products I’ve used based on features, user-friendliness, and customer service.
Chose Netchex
We used Corporate Payroll prior to Netchex. Corporate Payroll has all the functionality of Netchex but it's not all in one place like Netchex.
Chose Netchex
The biggest difference I see between Netchex and our previous vendor is customer service. Our previous vendor would take days, if not weeks, to respond with an inquiry. Netchex generally does within 24 hours via email or immediately if you call. The second biggest difference …
Chose Netchex
We used Paychex prior to switching to Netchex. We decided to make the move because of an impending integration that Netchex had planned with our onboarding system, Workbright. That integration has happened, but not in the way that we had hoped so we are not taking advantage of …
Chose Netchex

Reporting features available in Netchex far exceed those we were able to get from optimum.

Customer service from Netchex is light years ahead of the competition!!

We used to have ADP for payroll, the gold standard. I guess to save a few bucks my company switched to Greenshades. From time to time my payroll stub does not show up on time. I asked my HR department about this and was told they are not fond of Greenshades. I call Greenshades to ask about the delay. They do not have any support contact information on the employee website I use to get my payroll information. I had to google them and found a support contact on their website. Not good. When I spoke to someone to ask about the pay stub delays, he hung up on me.

I LOVE THE EASE OF THE TIMECLOCK AND PULLING INTO PAYROLL. PREVIOUSLY I HAD TIME CLOCK ON MY DMS AND PAYROLL THROUGH PAYCHEX. IT DIDNT INTEGRATE SO I HAD TO KEY IN EVERY SINGLE TIMESHEET....THIS IS SO MUCH EASIER. ONLY THING I DONT LIKE IS ONCE YOU START PAYROLL IF SOMEONE TIME HAS TO BE FIXED YOU HAVE TO DELETE AND START OVER. THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE HAD WHICH IS NOT A BIG PROBLEM.

Pros
  • Requesting Time- Off, which can include PTO and sick time.
  • Managing the hours that you have worked during each pay period.
  • Seeing past pay information.
  • Quick access to W-2.

  • My Netchex Service Team is very responsive and friendly. They are willing and able to spend the amount of time needed on one call to troubleshoot most problems or answer questions.
  • Their recent updates to the employee dashboard have been well-received by our seasonal team. Employees are able to quickly find what they are looking for which has minimized the amount of requests that my team receives regarding questions on pay or updating personal information.
  • Online W-2 forms have been a game-changer for us since moving to Netchex. Our staff tend to move around a lot and most do not get the mailed copy of their W-2. The electronic consent has saved me hours and hours of time.

Cons
  • Communication - New product rollouts
  • Billing - Rarely gets this right the first time
  • Timeliness on making year-end submissions available
  • Troubleshooting - New product rollouts

  • Support needs to be available more times than just normal business hours.
  • Tax support is basically non-existent. This seems that it should be TOP NOTCH.
  • Some of the functionality of the Netchex program could be tweaked. It is not a keyboard friendly program at all. Must mouse your way through. When the program times out, it takes 2 to 3 screens before it really logs you out.
  • When submitting from Netchex to Dealertrack, it would be nice to show the payroll # or payroll date that has been submitted. Currently once you hit submit, the screen reverts back to the last successful payroll submit. This process is just a bit confusing, especially for new users.

The first line CE team is phenomenal. They are helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. We have had less luck with the responsiveness of the tax department. However, their response time has improved drastically over the past year.
