Pros

“I especially appreciated the simplicity and convenience of running payroll—once set up, it usually takes just a few minutes, taxes are handled automatically with the right subscription, and everything syncs smoothly with QuickBooks accounting.”

Angie S.

Partner

“We love that it deals with coming up with pay cheque amounts, removing all the taxes that need to be taken off and puts together what we owe to the government for payrolls taxes.”

Tanya D.

President

“The interface is clean and familiar if you already use QuickBooks, and the self-service portal plus direct deposit make payday almost hands-off.”

Angie S.

Partner

Pros

“I use it with an integration of WebWork time tracker to handle my payrolls and how much i'm gonna be paid bi-weekly, it also handles contracts with your contractors as well.”

DANILLO G.

Front Desk Representative

“I could onboard contractors or EOR employees quickly, generate compliant agreements, run multi-currency payments, and keep the paperwork, audit trail, and reporting in one place.”

Shokirjon I.

Researcher

“Deel offers great value for money with an intuitive interface, strong contract and employee management, and responsive customer support through chat communication. While occasional minor bugs and small UI inconsistencies appear, the overall experience is reliable, efficient, and well-suited for global teams.”

Krzysztof B.

Senior Frontend Engineer

Cons

“Hard to navigate the screens, Intuit has taken complete control over payroll, can't make adjustments when needed, Inuit sets up unneeded payroll items automatically, support is terrible and takes too long for corrections, support does not understand the payroll tax rules”

Linda M.

Senior Manager

“Some bugs or setup issues can take longer than expected to resolve, and at times it can feel difficult to get clear answers quickly.”

Robert L.

Owner

“the biggest drawback of QuickBooks Payroll is the poor quality and accessibility of its Customer Support. While the software excels with its seamless integration into QuickBooks accounting, users frequently report frustration with extremely long hold times and being transferred between agents who often lack the specialized knowledge to resolve complex tax or payroll errors, which can be critical for a financial service.”

Lubais T.

Accountant

Cons

“They do not provide good communication around deadlines e.g. p11d processing which has meant that it has cost us more time/effort.”

Laura S.

Benefits Manager

“One minor thing that took a bit to figure out was the custom workflows, but once we rolled it out to the team, it was kind of annoying that some features are only available in the higher-tier plans.”

Isla W.

Operations Manager

“The only minor drawback is the withdrawal fees associated with certain local bank transfers in specific regions, which can feel a bit high compared to standard wire transfers.”

Ruma B.

Webflow Developer
