In contrast, PeopleGuru HCM's self-service capabilities, while still strong, scored slightly lower at 8.9.

- G2 users highlight that Paylocity's "Ease of Use" is rated at 8.8, making it user-friendly for HR teams. However, PeopleGuru HCM's score of 8.4 suggests that while it is still easy to use, there may be a slight learning curve compared to Paylocity.
- Users on G2 report that Paylocity's "Time, Attendance, and PTO" management features scored 8.4, which is robust, but PeopleGuru HCM's score of 8.2 indicates it may not be as comprehensive, particularly in tracking complex attendance scenarios.
- Reviewers mention that Paylocity's "Compliance" features scored 8.3, which is beneficial for organizations needing to adhere to regulations. PeopleGuru HCM, with a score of 7.8, may not provide the same level of assurance in compliance management.
