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
“The Chat BOT has also improved greatly over the past few months and now manages to resolve most issues instantly, which has been a real time-saver. While there are still a few teething issues that Employment Hero is aware of and has included in their product development roadmap, it’s clear they are committed to continuous improvement.”
LN
Lizi N.
Financial Controller
“The cons I have are not dealbreakers, but they're centred around just overall more flexibility with formatting (ability to right click on any hyperlinks or buttons) and improving the document template customisation tool.”
SB
Shell B.
HR Advisor
“They covered every aspect clearly and if there was any confusion, the support team was incredibly responsive and knowledgeable during the implementation phase, promptly answering all my questions and ensuring I was never stuck”
DC
Dipin C.
CFO
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
“I submitted a leave request, but am unable to view its progress in the app; it displays only "Pending approval."”
KW
Ketmanto W.
Application Support Engineer I
“The reporting features are terribly limited, doesn't calculate payments made in same pay periods like Xero and a lot of the other available software. ”
SA
Solomon A.
Payroll
“That's there's a lot of settings in both HR and Payroll and sometimes it gets confusing.”
