    Considered Both Products
    Paycom
    Chose Paycom
    By far, comparable to Workday, but built for smaller-sized organizations; however, capabilities are on par.

    Chose Paycom
    In my opinion, Workday is more costly, more customizable, and is better for larger organizations. We just needed a more plug and play resource that could handle the number of employees we have at a cost that was more managable.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycom
    In my 23 year career in HR, I have used PeopleSoft, ADP, Ultipro, SAP, Workday, and Paycom. The first part of my career I used PeopleSoft, ADP, Ultipro, and SAP products. I then used Paycom for 8 years at 2 different organizations and really enjoyed its functionality and …

    Chose Paycom
    Paycom is more reliable compared to the ADP Enterprise HR, Paycom is more user-friendly and simple to use compared to ADP Enterprise HR. Paycom online feedback and customer reviews are also good compared to any other HR management software. Paycom is a reliable software you do …

    Chose Paycom
    It's just not great. Good for big businesses but not for a company of our size.

    Chose Paycom
    We found the costing the biggest difference. Paycom came in around our budget.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycom
    Paycom stacks up well against the competition. My previous employers typically used ADP or Workday for their payroll services. The Paycom app and workday app are both intuitive and very user friendly. I would give Paycom a slight edge in the usability of its mobile application.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycom
    • Paycom is leaps and bounds better than Workday.
    • Paycom is available as a continuously connected phone app, [and] Workday is a heavyweight pc based application that is not cross-functional with a phone app.
    • No downtime or very little downtime during data refresh with Paycom, …

    Chose Paycom
    As an ATS provider, I prefer ClearCompany over Paycom. ClearCompany is more expensive, you pay for each recruiter license, but it's a sleek design that allows posting to seven main job boards along with company social media. If you are looking to save money, I will go with …
    Incentivized
    Chose Paycom
    Paycom has a lot more customization and matches better with our organizational need, however it isn’t as streamlined.

    Workday
    Chose Workday HCM
    If you are looking for easy to use, user-friendly and easy to customize, then Workday Human Capital Management is the right tool for you. I have used Paycom and Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne before. Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is the worst tool you could ever get. Paycom …

    Chose Workday HCM
    Workday HCM helps my organization better align our corporate strategy with defined objectives and KPIs while managing the performance of team members to deliver results. The user interface and time tracking capabilities of Workday HCM are also best-in-class. The Workday cloud …
