Heartland Payroll Solutions vs. Keka HR

We changed payroll companies from Paycom to Heartland this year at the recommendation of our insurance agent who insisted they would integrate with the EASE system, which tracks employee benefits and deductions. However, 8 weeks into it, I regret my decision, since the setup hasn't been completed yet. The lack of responsiveness in some cases is astounding and often we have to ask 3, 4, and 5 times for something to be done. I hate to think what will happen after we are "handed off" from the payroll implementation team to the regular schmucks. We still are not able to track PTO and time off and we have been begging for the self-service feature to be turned on for employees so they can change addresses, bank account info, etc. Their training is NONEXISTENT and their manual is abysmal. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!! I wish I could go back to Paycom!

Keka HR is well suited for me as it helps me to manage my taxes and gives me different investment options within the web application itself which allows me to save income tax. It keeps track of all the investments, deductions, taxes etc. Scenario where I found Keka HR less appropriate is there Article section. Companies have their own Newsletter Page where they publish their Articles which everyone reads. But Article section within Keka HR, I didn't found that much useful.

• Cheap payroll processing but [in my opinion] you get what you pay for
• [In my experience] great ability to frustrate their customers
• Geat for the economy because [I feel] they hire so many different people and [in my experience] they don't hang around [so] you don't know who your rep is

• Salary
• Leaves and Attendance
• Expenses and Travel
• Manage Tax

• Sometimes I don't receive the email to remind me to process payroll.
• The local rep that helped with the setup is no longer with the company and I don't have anyone to contact locally if needed.
• I wish there was a one click button so that I could just repeat the same payroll as last time.

I never have trouble reaching customer support. They always are able to assist with fixing any problems that arise. There honestly haven't been many issues at all. Only ones I've created :)

The Heartland team could care less about how difficult your experience is. In fact, I think they delight in seeing you struggle!

Only Paylocity has comparable technology but costs way more. The customer support at all 3 of these companies is a nightmare. This isn't news to anyone who has been in business for a while. If you're a broker, ADP and Paychex are going to try and steal your clients every day.

This service is very optimistic and creates a reliable and smooth environment within organizations. Organizations can easily figure out the performance of every individual. It became easy to send financial reports for every employee through Keka HR, and it has a robust payroll system which is very helpful for the HR and account department.

• The price has been great. It was much cheaper than the other company we used (starts with an A).
• The onboarding has been a big time-saver. Positive ROI for that!
• Having a separate login for my CPA firm has been another big time-saver! The other company we used didn't offer that.

Incentivized

• It pretty much has every feature that our company needs
• Pay Management is clear
• Team Management is too easy
