    Paycor Inc
    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 …

    Chose Paycor
    Paylocity was cumbersome and not very intuitive. I was constantly on the phone with them trying to figure out how to do something. I once called back 4 different times( because I didn’t believe the answer they gave me was how to do what I was asking), explained my problem the …

    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, …

    If your final decision comes down to Paycor and another vendor, it is likely Paylocity. If it's not, then you are comparing oranges to apples. Paycor and Paylocity are so similar that companies often struggle to pick the "best" one. The truth is, both will likely do what you …

    Chose Paycor
    From my recent evaluations, it seems like (from my lens/my company's needs) Paylocity seems to have moved ahead in terms of adapting to the workforce over the past few years + general updates. Because it wasn't my choice to switch from Paylocity to Paycor, I can't speak to how …

    From a cost perspective, Paycor competes well with Paylocity and with ADP but UltiPro is far more expensive. In terms of providing a sense of peace and confidence, Paycor ranks above ADP in my mind but below the others.

    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.

    Chose Paycor
    Paycor is user friendly and includes reimbursement requests as part of the same platform to integrate with payroll.

    Paycor stacks up pretty well compared to ADP and Paylocity. ADP was very good and had a solution for everything, but the customer service was lacking and it was very expensive. I can see ADP being a better fit for large companies that were looking for more of a full service …

    We engaged on a system search for over a year. We left ADP for several reasons, like cost, lack of versatility, poor customer service, and every feature was more money. We evaluated Paycom and Paycor, but in the end HR, Accounting, and IT felt that Paylocity had all of the …

    Paycor's system was outdated aesthetically. It was also hard to get the reports I needed to conduct employee wage searches and recruitment cycles. Paycor's rehire system was more streamlined than Paylocity. In Paylocity I have to go through multiple steps and workflow pages to …

    The two companies are similar. I feel like Paycor lets me have a little more access to admin level things so I can just do it and get on with my life instead of waiting around for support to complete a task like adding a state.

    It is better than Paycor and Bamboo, AS good as ADP, and gives UKG and SAP a run for their money. Paycor has more than most and almost as much customization as UKG and SAP. For smaller businesses (less than 1000), by far Paylocity is my choice.
