AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- G2 reviewers report that Paylocity excels in overall user satisfaction, reflected in its significantly higher G2 Score compared to Checkwriters. Users appreciate the platform's user-friendly interface, noting that they can "do most everything online and it's fairly straightforward."
- According to verified reviews, Paylocity's implementation process is praised for its efficiency, with users highlighting the helpfulness of the Paylocity team in navigating payroll compliance and system features. In contrast, Checkwriters, while having a personal touch in support, has fewer recent reviews, which may indicate less current user experience.
- Users say that Paylocity offers a robust set of features for HR and payroll management, with specific praise for its chat function and intuitive design. Checkwriters, on the other hand, is noted for its strong customer support, with users appreciating the direct contact with a single representative for troubleshooting needs.
- Reviewers mention that while both platforms are user-friendly, Paylocity's ease of use is highlighted with a score that reflects its intuitive design. Checkwriters also receives positive feedback for its user-friendliness, but it faces challenges in scalability for larger organizations.
- According to recent user feedback, Paylocity's comprehensive features for payroll and HR management, such as automated reminders and mobile support, contribute to a smoother daily operation. Checkwriters, while effective for small businesses, may not offer the same level of functionality for mid-market needs.
- G2 reviewers report that Paylocity's overall quality is bolstered by a wealth of user reviews, indicating a reliable and well-supported product. In contrast, Checkwriters, despite its strong customer service, has a much smaller review base, which may limit insights into its long-term performance and user satisfaction.
