The Grid leverages customer satisfaction data reported by authenticated users along with vendor market presence determined from social and public data. Based on a combination of these scores, each software solution is categorized as a Leader, High Performer, Contender or Niche.
Key Findings:
- Ease of use — Users said that payroll software’s ease of use, range of integrations, and available customer support was integral to their satisfaction. With the category average Ease of Use score at 87%, all of the High Performers in the Payroll Grid℠ had an above-average score, compared to only one Leader with an above average Ease of Use score. This could suggest that smaller vendors are taking stake in the market and collecting highly satisfied customers by making easy-to-use products.
- High-quality customer support — According to users, customer support is a key component of user satisfaction. All of the products included in the High Performer quadrant had an above-average Quality of Support rating, compared to only two products in the Leader quadrant with an above average Quality of Support rating. This could suggest that smaller payroll software vendors are putting a greater emphasis on customer support than larger companies.
- Clunky interface — According to user reviews, clunky user interfaces were significant contributors to a bad product experience. Users disliked products that did not offer intuitive navigation, require too many clicks, and have slow network speeds. Those three factors contributed to a tiresome and unrewarding experience for many unsatisfied users.
