Easiest option for payroll newbies!!

What differentiates Gusto from other similar products?

I cant say exactly because I have never used a payroll service before. However, in doing research for a payroll provider, Gusto clearly came out on top in terms of features and costs. The ease of use has been exceptional in our business!

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Ease of use. I had never touched a payroll platform prior to Gusto and let me tell you, I was intimidated. These are peoples paychecks we're talking about! State and federal taxes! And a whole lot more. Gusto made it completely easy to set up from start to finish. They even take care of filing new hire reports, and submitting quarterly tax documents. The user interface is incredibly intuitive and simple to use. I would recommend Gusto for any employer looking to set up payroll!

What do you dislike most about this product?

Can't say there is anything I dislike so far. We have used it since the beginning of 2022 and each time, payroll has gone off without so much as a hiccup.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Gusto integrates with so many other platforms and services, it really does deserve a second look. While it may not be as known in payroll as highly as ADP or other giants, it really has made a name for itself and is user-friendly. Both for the employee and the employer. Everything is self-explanatory and there are walkthroughs for everything. Again, I have to reiterate that I have NEVER used a payroll service before this year. I was intimidated and nervous I was going to mess up. Not once have I had to reach out to Customer Support for help. It really is just that easy.

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Gusto from other similar products?

Since we have had this software in our payroll department, the calculation of payroll, employees' working hours and everything related to their work, we do it in a fast, orderly and error-free way thanks to its tools. It is a very easy to use program and has made our work much easier.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It has an employee portal tool, where we have in an organized way the information of each employee of the company. The tracking of vacation time and absences of employees and weekly hours, allows calculations and payments are accurate and error-free.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I can't remember anything serious happening with this software. If I have to complain about something, it would be that on one occasion the system crashed, so that it had to be uninstalled and installed again, but we had the help of the technical service and they advised us to install it correctly.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Gusto is one of the most complete software for payroll management that we have used and with a great help management for the payment of insurance and benefits for workers. Very easy to use, with a very friendly interface where we found it easy to navigate.

Easy to use and well integrated system

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Gusto from other similar products?

I definitely think that Gusto was built to simplify the employees ability to access benefits details and navigate their payroll. Gusto operates with flexible modus operandi, as it adopts all specific calculations and processes as complex as they may be. Makes it easy to process and manage benefits, both in cases where we can import our existing benefits plans, or we can create a new one in line with the system's templates

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The system specializes in hands-free payment processing, which means that we are only required to schedule remuneration data at the beginning of the process.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Gusto does not feature any activity dashboard. Gusto does not offer a free trial to help customers test out their features before committing.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Gusto's payroll management and benefits administration can be described with three words - Simple, Automated, and Transparent.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
