    Chose Paychex
    User interface and functionalities of Paycor edge out Paychex Flex, however, in my experience, Paycor has horrible service resulting in our discontinuation of services. I think Paychex Flex service is leaps and bounds above that of Paycor.

    Paycor is more user friendly from a Manager level however Paychex Flex meets all of our requirements.

    Paychex stacks up way higher. Again, the cost is our main reason for leaving Paycor.

    Chose Paychex
    I would say Paycor is very similar, although my last use was in 2015. I'm unsure about the changes made between then and now. I haven't used paylocity personally since 2013, but my wife currently uses it and it's also great, more features to the end user. That said, I didn't …

    Paychex Flex has some room for improvement, I would choose ADP out of the different HRIS's I have used in the past

    Chose Paychex
    Based on what I've noticed, Paychex is comparable to Dayforce, which has similar timekeeping functions. I think Dayforce has a few easier-to-navigate tools from an Employee Self Service standpoint. isolved is much better all around from my personal usage. If my company had more …

    Paycor Inc
    Chose Paycor
    Paycor definitely has a leg up on Paychex Flex. This is the system we went from to Paycor and it is much more basic with not as much opportunity for bundling data together and tracking information. Paychex did provide a dedicated customer service rep, which was very helpful, …

    The mother company that we are under decided that we should all unify under one payroll system to make it easier for reporting. Paychex was easy to use and we had no difficulties with them. In regards to payroll input, Paycor is more user friendly and it is not difficult to …
