    Considered Both Products
    Paylocity
    Chose Paylocity
    We used a focus group and voted on the favorite option amongst the group. The group was comprised of leadership and staff across multiple departments and they drove a great deal of insight into how choosing a product was to occur.

    Chose Paylocity
    Yes. Paylocity is just better.

    Chose Paylocity
    We were frustrated with the customer service at UKG. The response time for cases would be multiple days/weeks.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paylocity
    Paylocity has been a good fit with a wide offering that has fit our growing organization well. It is well integrated, and we are able to integrate expenses, and our benefits admin system pretty seemlessly as well as it being easy to push candidates from recruiting to onboarding …

    Chose Paylocity
    ADP has a better time keeping system than Paylocity as it's nice to be able to select a pay type/earning code then to be able to audit. There is a lot of customization you can do to the transfer of hours and shift differentials as well, but it can be complicated. The Reporting …

    Chose Paylocity
    The implementation for UKG was a very painful and tedious process, with ongoing issues.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paylocity
    I like the streamlined use of Paylocity. The easy way to build reports. UKG had a bulky reporting system. ADP is not as streamlined in their platform. Many tabs but hard to navigate.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paylocity
    Superior in every way except Performance to UKG, including customer support. Ease of use and perceived accuracy was a Paylocity win over all of the providers. It's a great balance of being robust but not overwhelming.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paylocity
    Paylocity is much more user friendly. I have used Paylocity in multiple organizations. It is intuitive, it works. There is no guessing as far as where to navigate. The time cards are easy to use and edit as necessary. HR-wise, the onboarding and recruiting functions are also …

    Chose Paylocity
    I think UKG and Paycom are probably better products that Paylocity.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paylocity
    Number of integrated offerings that meet our needs. One stop shop that is consistent & drives efficiency. Ease of use by Superusers/Administrators. User friendly and creates a good employee experience. Data Insights + Report Writing top notch.

    Chose Paylocity
    very Compatible but both of the other companies can accommodate European & Asian Countries. Their modules also talk to each other. and their systems track arrearages for benefit deductions missed while out on LOA and tracks it on the employee record.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paylocity
    Paylocity is similar in features to UKG. I think UKG's reporting features are better but I think Paylocity's Payroll process is much better. Cost is much better with Paylocity as well.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paylocity
    My predecessor selected Paylocity, however I prefer it over the other HRIS products that I have used in the past. The only platform that I might prefer more is the UKG Ready system. It has a lot of customizable options that allow the end user to set up the system based on their …
    Incentivized
    Chose Paylocity
    Paylocity matched up well. It wasn't worth changing to UKG because Paylocity gave us everything they had. We also like Paylocity's streamlining for other options that UKG was still not streamlined. Paylocity has always been helpful in understanding that we are a Nonprofit, …
    Incentivized
    Chose Paylocity
    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.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paylocity
    Paylocity is more cost effective as it is one system that connects all the modules together. ADP has so many different add-ons and systems that it is confusing and also very expensive.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paylocity
    It's actually my favorite one so far just because of the ease of use of it. And my employees who aren't very techy were able to use it also.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paylocity
    ADP just did not have the variety of functionality that we needed and UKG was quite expensive!!! Paylocity provides the tools we need at a reasonable price.

    UKG
    Chose UKG Pro
    We made it through the entire implementation process with Paylocity before finding out that the system could not handle our mileage tracking and reimbursements for our company vehicles. We moved to UKG Pro less than two years later, as we needed one unified system for Payroll, …
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    Paylocity was a totally different system. Paylocity was very responsive to the needs of organizations. When we say we need the software to do something, I know that they are working on it in the background and I will see it in the near future. The software is easy to use and …

    Chose UKG Pro
    Company tried moving to Paylocity prior to UKG, but it did not have the ability to handle the data and organizational set up of the company.
    UKG was able to offer a better system for our needs and the support they provided allowed us to develop new processes to increase our …
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    We had Paylocity previously and felt that UKG was much more robust. I believe UKG is better but can be harder to use at times especially the back end step-up of certain things.
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    Well obviously we moved from Paylocity and ADP because it didn't work, but we've been with UKG when they acquired Kronos and now it's one company. And so those products together are really, really good. And that's why we use this product. It's also because we have legacy with …
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    UKG Pro is much more user friendly than both previous HRIS and payroll systems I've used in the past. The others are less streamlined and include multiple more steps to complete a task than UKG Pro does.
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    I have previously used PeopleSoft and that was an extremely difficult system to navigate. It was not user-friendly when corrections need to be made. ULG pro is user-friendly, the navigation tabes are easy to understand and it makes using the system easy to make inputs.

    Chose UKG Pro
    I did not select UKG ProUKG Pro (formerly Ultimate Software UltiPro). I was hired during the implementation process. I process payroll. I do not make those types of business decisions. I preferred ADP's Smart Compliance compared to UKG's tax filing service. ADP is the …
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    I was not with with my current employer when UltiPro was implemented. This product was chosen because of the different HR tools it offered aside from just payroll. However, some of the modules that we expected to work better for us have lack of functionality needed for our …
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    We felt that the service was going to be a huge improvement from what we were dealing with prior. The capability of the system and the things that we can customize and track was definitely more than what we saw with the other systems we were looking at and currently used. The …

    Chose UKG Pro
    After a long selection process, we went with UKG - which had the highest launch price tag of all the vendors we reviewed - because of its amazing capacity for configurability. We were also drawn to the culture within UKG. It made the most sense to us that a company with a …

    Chose UKG Pro
    We actually partnered with Paylocity for a couple of years because we thought they were comparable to UltiPro, however they are not! We struggled with their customer service and also the knowledge of their staff. (We would call with the same question and receive differing …

    Better reporting capabilities and having one system instead of using parts of multiple systems in my we made the switch to UltiPro.

    UltiPro is the best product on the market. Other vendors only have a fraction of the functionality. Other vendors do not have anywhere near the support team that UltiPro has.
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    I think there are pros and cons with every system. UltiPro is better than some of the systems I have used in some areas, but there are still areas that other systems have outperformed UltiPro. I think it is important to be VERY clear with what the desired outcome is when …

    When it comes to service and support, there is no comparison between UKG, Ceridian, ADP, Workday or other HCM vendors out there. The support that we have received over the previous three years has been the best I've ever experienced in my 15+ years of working in human resources …
