    Considered Both Products
    Paycom
    Chose Paycom
    Paycor was our previous provider, and we had an incredible amount of issues. There was so much manual work to keep information correct, and the flow of information was tedious. Paycom had all of the features we were looking for.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycom
    We had a lot of technical issues with Paycor due to the fact that they purchased separate software platforms and cobbled them into one system that did not flow as seamlessly as we would have liked. Our staff were constantly complaining that the app would glitch or that punches …
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycom
    Paycor did not automatically calculate employee paychecks properly. Paycom has been able to do this which has saved us a ton of time. Paycor also required a lot of manual changes where Paycom has automated the process.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycom
    Paycom is 100 times better than Paycor. Paycor was very simple, and wouldn't give you the information you needed. Their reports were horrible.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycom
    Much better workflow, better reports, better support, better time keeping software compared to Paycor.

    Much more user-friendly than UKG
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycom
    I initially thought Paycom was mountains ahead of Paycor when it came to direct deposit software. But again that was just the onboarding phase. They're quick to sell you, but once you're in [it feels like] you're [the] last priority. [I believe] Paycom doesn't take …
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycom
    Everything. Paycor is a mess. One of the best things about Paycom is that they have a dedicated specialist to help us with any of our requests. I find this really awesome because it allows us to communicate with someone who already has a idea of what our company is like and …
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycom
    Paycom definitely has better technology than ADP and Paychex. I've used both ADP and Paychex for over 2 years and I've seen ADP and Paychex new platforms in 2019. ADP technology is just not there. It's bad technology with great GUI, Paychex is still the same old 2 platform …
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycom
    ADP-Implementation was a joke, Nothing was set up correctly. They didn't pay our quarterly taxes. I had issues with every payroll run for 4 months.
    Paycor-Looks like a good system but it didn't look as user-friendly as Paycom
    Paylocity-Is user-friendly but not like Paycom. It was …
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycom
    They are very similar in function, but the interfaces and dashboard are different. I found the Paycor dashboard to be more "social media" styled, with employee recognition on the front page. As a manager, I prefer to just jump in and get the task done that I need to do.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycom
    I honestly believe I chose Paycom because of the relationship I had with our sales rep. I felt comfortable discussing issues with him and I trusted that he was going to be a man of his word. Blain was wonderful to work with and if I had any issues, I called him and he took …
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycom
    We selected Paycom for its functional, user-friendly platform. They continue to make improvements and add features that are beneficial to HR and Payroll professionals.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycom
    We selected Paycom due to their system being one totally organic system. We have worked with systems who purchase other modules and they do not communicate well with each other. When changes are made in Paycom they flow to all the different sections needed to ensure the …
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycom
    We left our last product carrier due to the lack of support we got. We gave them a year and a half to improve before terminating our relationship. It took an average of 7 days to complete a support request (no matter the urgency).
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycom
    Paycom was the service that met all of our needs at the best value. Others are more expensive or lacked all of the operational items that we wanted to cover.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycom
    Each has good and bad, but so far, Paycom is easier to manage and use.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycom
    I had used the other two before and I like the look and layout of Paycom better.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycom
    Paycom is by far the best of the systems I have used. It is more intuitive and easier to navigate. ADP's systems were horrible, and their implementation and management teams are not good. I do not recommend ADP at all.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycom
    Paycom has greater functionality than the other companies, plus their application is owned/managed by Paycom and does not include external third-party software plug-ins, which is something that was very important to our company.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycom
    Paycom is far and away the easiest and most effective platform I have ever used for HRIS, Payroll, Time & Attendance, Benefits Enrollment, Performance Management, et al. It is extremely flexible with thousands of options available to customize to each organization's needs, …
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycom
    Paycom solved our primary needs to pay our employees and it’s furthermore solved our so many additional HR problems as well. So it’s much more advance than the other similar software.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycom
    We ultimately chose Paycom because of the level of customer support and training as well as the robustness of the system. Very intuitive for the payroll and HR admin sections.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycom
    Paycom has an excellent customer support service where when you have an issue and your email/call their agents, he/she takes you through the process easily ensuring that you always have positive experience concerning the software. This makes it easy to use and also gives you …
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycom
    They are all very similar. The personal touch is where Paycom excels and that is why we choose them.

    Paycor Inc
    Chose Paycor
    Paycom is terrible or at least it was 5 plus years ago. The in The interface is terrible, there was no mobile app.. it was not a great solution solution and did not have good integrations. Over all the product was terrible for admins and employees In times of critical need …
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycor
    Paycor seemed simpler and still allowed the employer to control many aspects of what the employeea can do.
    The cost was more effective than Paycom. The customer service was another area of concern, even though Paycor could improve on some reps speaking better English, this is …
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycor
    Paycom has all one system, so their different modules all talk to one another. They also have an excellent benefit module and EDI feed setup. We have had no problems with their benefit setup or EDI feeds; they work well!
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycor
    Overall, I prefer it to the bigger HRIS systems that I work with (ADP, Paycom, Paylocity) and would chose Paycor above those listed. I do prefer utilizing other Ben Admin Systems (Gusto, Rippling, Ease) for pulling general reports, usability, and customer service needs for …
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycor
    We moved from Paycom to Paycor in 2020 because the cost was cheaper and Paycor had the ability to track issued equipment.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycor
    Paycor is clearly better in reporting, how it is built and the features it has. Our Paycom customer service was really good and that is something I still miss 4.5 years later.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycor
    We have used in the past ADP, we just outgrew it and needed it to do more things. Paychex, I would say we also outgrew. We are with Paycom now, we are pleased with the product and the various modules. It allows us to run reports and have our benefits and EDI feeds set up …
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycor
    Paycom looks good but doesn’t deliver, they are a giant pile of crap.
    ADP Workforce Now - as a small organization you will not get the attention you need. I would be on hold for 45 minutes or longer for simple questions.
    Paycheck - too bare bones
    UKG - I’ve never used them, …
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycor
    I would select Paycor over ADP, rate it about the same as Paycom, but if I had to choose again I would choose Paylocity as my number one pick.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycor
    Paycor is much less expensive. But, in my opinion, Paycom had dedicated specialists that work with the client on all issues and updates. That was HUGE. I feel like I never knew how much we took that for granted. Now, I feel like we sit on hold and I believe we have to …
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycor
    I prefer Quickbooks, it was the easiest system to process, approve, pay, and log. Taxes were easier however it was the most expensive and we were all told that the changes were being made.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycor
    There are areas of each application that stack up to Paycor. Paycor's advantage is the automation between platforms creating more accurate payrolls. Especially the efficiency in onboarding, BA and timekeeping.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycor
    Paycor is user friendly and includes reimbursement requests as part of the same platform to integrate with payroll.
    Paycor however, in my experience, is not as flexible as originally proclaimed. Just like most others evaluated, there is a lack of customization within the …
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycor
    The sales team was not in your face and using cold pressure tactics to get your business. As was our case, the multiple parts of Paycor seemed to be easier to implement from scratch.

    Overall cost and functionality influenced our decision to choose Paycor

    It integrates with our broker.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycor
    Paycor is much more user-friendly and more understandable in their sections and use of each. It is a lot less confusing than the other program. The ease of just getting out training to the employees have been so simple and they are able to access from their company phones with …
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycor
    Paycor's price point in comparison to other platforms is spot on. Affordable platform with standard industry features. Paycor touted that our company size was right in their "sweet spot" as well and that they could specifically handle our complexities. We overall felt that the …

    We had top 3- CBIZ, Swipeclock and Paycor and ultimateley chose Paycor because of the all the features.

    These are the systems we have completed demos with to leave Paycor.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycor
    We selected Paycor because it checked all of our boxes regarding Customer Service, Payroll, ATS, Benefits, and Core HR. They still have a lot of improvements to make, but we are happy to feel appreciated and heard.

    The system has very little down time and outside of annoyances …
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycor
    We looked at many others as well in our search. Paycor checked off all our priorities of intuitive user interface, ease of use, customer service, reporting, and other services we will be using down the line.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycor
    Number 1 reason was price - based on all the functionality, we expected Paycor to come in a lot higher from a price point perspective but it was significantly less than the other software we looked. This made me a bit nervous because of how much the price difference was (I …
