BambooHR

4.5

(39)

"We moved to BambooHR from ADP a few months ago and it’s been so much smoother. Way better UX and our managers actually use it."

"I love Bamboo HR."

"BambooHR or PeopleHR. Both excellent systems for small businesses."

"Bamboo is my absolute favorite."

"You cant go wrong with BambooHR"

"Have you tried BambooHR? Very user friendly and great customer service."

"BambooHR 100%"

"Highly recommend, assuming your needs are similar to ours."

"It's great, versatile, awesome customer service group, and really easy to use."

"If I were adding an HRIS, I would go with Bamboo over Humi guaranteed. It is just so much more powerful."

HiBob

4.4

(15)

"We’ve had a great experience with HiBob. It’s user-friendly, connects smoothly with payroll, and has strong onboarding and performance features."

"I'd strongly recommend HiBob."

"Seriously consider talking to HiBob. I'm not a fan of ADP at all."

"HiBob is by far my favourite."

"We launched and loved HiBob. It’s super innovative and intuitive both employees, managers and HR loves to work with it."

"Happy to answer any questions if you're still evaluating systems."

"They have an amazing platform for the SME market."

"While HiBob doesn't do payroll, it does tie in to payroll providers, so I'd say it's a good option for you. Great onboarding experience."

"We truly value what HiBob brings to the table. Definitely worth checking out."

"Considering the size of your company and the fact you want a good onboarding process, I'd look at HiBob."

Paylocity

4.3

(15)

"We ended up going with Paylocity - no regrets so far."

"Paylocity is awesome"

"Paylocity is what you want."

"We use Paylocity and love it."

"It's been wonderful for us."

"My favorite HRIS is Paylocity. They have different modules to make it as big/complex as you want."

"The two that stood out were Paylocity and BambooHR."

"I’d compare it with Paylocity or Gusto depending on your size and needs."

"Paylocity is my pick. They’ve been a solid partner for us since we implemented them in 2022."

"Hi, I work for Paylocity, seems like we would be a great fit based on your needs."

Rippling

4.0

(12)

"Rippling! I think it’s great for smaller companies."

"Rippling for sure. Best customer service of any HRIS tbh."

"I would start with Rippling and HiBob."

"I’d look for systems like Rippling; Humaans; HiBob."

"All payroll HRIS suck but Rippling is the best IMO."

"I would also put in a recommendation for Rippling."

"All in one for onboarding, IT, payroll, time & attendance, training, offboarding, etc."

"Rippling -- best for companies on growth track."

"Rippling, Bamboo are great."

"Rippling has been solid for us so far."

Paycom

4.1

(10)

"We just went through a transition from Heartland to Paycom and love the switch."

"I would strongly suggest Paycom!"

"Paycom has been great for us and HR is also very happy with them."

"They can pry Paycom from my cold dead hands."

"Plus one for Paycom. Moving my current company over from Bamboo as I’ve used them before and had a good experience."

"We switched over to Paycom about 8 months ago and their payroll processing has been sufficient to handle our pay structure."

"I agree this software is very user friendly. ... now we are on Paycom which I love."

"Paycor, and Paycom seemed the best to me."

"Paycom is probably the most intuitive of all the HRIS systems that I’ve used. Their service went downhill the past couple of years."

"We have only had the worst luck with Paycom. Days without responses from our customer support person. Data disappearing etc."

Gusto

3.8

(9)

"Love! Love! Love Gusto!"

"We have around 25 employees, but Gusto has been a game changer for us. It’s basically our one stop for everything: onboarding, payroll, benefits."

"I’d compare it with Paylocity or Gusto depending on your size and needs."

"I've also heard good things about Gusto, though likely too small for you"

"For small organizations I recommend Gusto. It's affordable and very functional."

"I'd look at Gusto, GoCo & Remote"

"Yeah we actually had Gusto when we were smaller and it was amazing! But once we grew to size, Gusto just did not scale well."

"Gusto is ok but lacks reporting and custom settings for managers to view their employees exclusively."

"Gusto breaks at about 25-30 people. They just can't support anything past that without multiple errors."

ADP

3.0

(11)

"I love ADP."

"Some great options include Connecteam, ADP Workforce Now, and Paycor."

"I have found ADP is the easiest to use and has many more features."

"ADP Workforce Now has been working well for us - also mid-sized. Got several features too and customer service is usually great."

"I also felt that ADP WFN was robust."

"I'd lean ADP if I had to choose, but wouldn't be happy about it."

"I've worked with a couple of organizations that have used ADP to some success."

"Stay away from ADP Workforce Now. Implementation was fine but post implementation support was terrible."

"ADP far too complex, expensive, and you have to customize everything. You don't need it."

"The ADP sales guy was so arrogant and pushy. It seemed like a bad sign to me and I wouldn’t recommend."

Paycor

3.4

(9)

"Some great options include Connecteam, ADP Workforce Now, and Paycor."

"We have Paycor and we are using their LMS, Performance, Time Tracking, Payroll, Onboarding, and Recruiting solutions."

"Both are pretty easy to use and pretty cheap. Both have good electronic onboarding and talk to most ben admin systems."

"I've enjoyed Paycor (like /u/benicebitch said)"

"I've used Paycor and Proliant and like both of them."

"Paycor, and Paycom seemed the best to me."

"Paycor - they have a ways to go to make them less labor intensive to set up but as far as everything else it works pretty good."

"Don't know a ton about your space or company size, but look at paycor, paycom, paylocity, and namely. They focus on SMB market."

"Do not use Paycor. The worst customer service, on hold for an hour for each call."

GoCo

4.3

(6)

"I personally reaaaally liked onboarding through GoCo. I literally did it from my couch and finished everything in like 15 minutes."

"I **absolutely** recommend."

"If you want HRIS/onboarding/payroll more than check out GoCo.io or Rippling."

"What finally worked for us was GoCo.io. It’s been super solid for our org and the implementation was surprisingly painless."

"I'd look at GoCo or Namely probably."

"We offer a robust HRIS that handles HR, payroll and benefits. It's cannabis friendly and perfect for growing teams."

#10

Namely

4.2

(5)

"Best decision I’ve made."

"We tested Rippling and Paycor — both decent — but ended up with Namely because of the customization."

"I'd look at GoCo or Namely probably."

"They are in that mid size company range and offer a full suite of features."

"NamelyHR and they've had a very positive reception."

#11

UKG

3.8

(5)

"They have so far been the best system I've worked with in my career."

"UKG may be worth a look."

"UKG is Ultimate Software Payroll and HR (UKG) with Kronos time & attendance."

"I would strongly consider UKG, Dayforce (fka Ceridian), Workday."

"We used UKG. I left before the first year ended so I couldn't say if they had any issues after but it seemed ok."

#12

Workday

4.5

(4)

"Workday was by far the best system I've ever worked with."

"Workday is fantastic. Extremely user friendly and not too difficult to set up/roll out."

"I've heard great things about Workday, though."

"Workday has been huge lately, but I’m mostly familiar with multinational."

#13

iSolved

3.3

(3)

"We had a great experience with iSolved."

"I’ve used isolved at a previous job. It covered the basics well -payroll, benefits, time tracking- but the UI felt a bit dated."

"It’s not perfect, but I have only a couple of complaints over the course of a year."

#14

UKG Ready

4.0

(2)

ADP Workforce Now
