GetApp offers objective, independent research and verified user reviews. We may earn a referral fee when you visit a vendor through our links.
Our commitment
Independent research methodology
Our researchers use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or speak to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.
Verified user reviews
GetApp maintains a proprietary database of millions of in-depth, verified user reviews across thousands of products in hundreds of software categories. Our data scientists apply advanced modeling techniques to identify key insights about products based on those reviews. We may also share aggregated ratings and select excerpts from those reviews throughout our site.
Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.
How GetApp ensures transparency
GetApp lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. GetApp is free for users. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to receive web traffic and sales opportunities. Sponsored profiles include a link-out icon that takes users to the provider’s website.

“he customer support team has been responsive and knowledgeable whenever we've needed assistance, and the system's automation features have helped minimize errors and save valuable time.”
MD
Marilyn D.
Agency
“I love that I can manage payroll, run audits, configure cost centers, support benefits, run reporting, handle historical data migrations, and create workflows all in one system.”
HK
Hardeep K.
HR Generalist
“there are so many features that allow you to Remind employees or participants of trainings of activities of anniversaries or birthdays there are opportunities for you to give praise and you’re easily able to see your upcoming and past paychecks.”
AG
Ashley G.
After school and summer camp teacher
Pros
“It would work well for corporate offices but without an app is tricky for organisations that do not have laptops or computer access for every team member. When the automation is able to be configured to your exact needs it works REALLY well.”
CS
Chris S.
People and Culture Coordinator
“As we currently use SWAG for staff to log on and off, as well as complete leave requests, i would really like them to be able to use something more compatible to link in with Elmo.”
JE
Jody E.
Payroll Specialist and HR Generalist
“We started with HR core and extended it to recruitment, onboarding, and other modules.”
AM
Azzaya M.
HR Officer
Cons
“More transparency on PDRs, we have a hard time tracking the status of the PDR submitted, we have to ask for updates every time, I wish there is a portal/dashboard we can track it by the PDR number.”
XL
Xin L.
HRIS Coordinator
“The system is not user friendly: Unnecessary separation of tabs and information, unhelpful AI bot, uneducated (and sometimes) unresponsive Support Team, constant unnecessary and unhelpful updates, numerous glitches in the system, etc.”
LS
Lauren S.
HR Coordinator and Recruiter
“We have experienced several challenges with Paylocity, including occasional inaccuracies in time-off accruals and balance transfers, incompatibility with employees in American Samoa which requires manual work, and improperly configured EDI.”
PA
Paola A.
Human Resources Manager
Cons
“We realised that some data not transferable from ELMO HR Core to ELMO Payroll”
AM
Azzaya M.
HR Officer
“Lost most of my hair setting it up, lost more trying to change how departments wanted it to run, and more when trying to sort out their software bugs for them.”
AW
Andrew W.
Administration Assistant
“Features that are critical are least developed such as reports from which to compile a general ladger payroll journal for uploading to an accounting system; termination transactions get included in the pay period of termination reports rather then being able to produce an 'extra' pay period; the conversion from existing to new system was as bad as it could possibly get in terms of communication with ELMO, manual data entry when uploading files fails and inconsistency with leave entitlements computation - ELMO expresses annual leave in days and long service leave in weeks - what happened to hours ??”
