How We Test & Score Our Tools
We’ve spent years building, refining, and improving our software testing and scoring system. The rubric is designed to capture the nuances of software selection and what makes a tool effective, focusing on critical aspects of the decision-making process.
Below, you can see exactly how our testing and scoring works across seven criteria. It allows us to provide an unbiased evaluation of the software based on core functionality, standout features, ease of use, onboarding, customer support, integrations, customer reviews, and value for money.
Core Functionality (25% of final score)
The starting point of our evaluation is always the core functionality of the tool. Does it have the basic features and functions that a user would expect to see? Are any of those core features locked to higher-tiered pricing plans? At its core, we expect a tool to stand up against the baseline capabilities of its competitors.
Standout Features (25% of final score)
Next, we evaluate uncommon standout features that go above and beyond the core functionality typically found in tools of its kind. A high score reflects specialized or unique features that make the product faster, more efficient, or offer additional value to the user.
We also evaluate how easy it is to integrate with other tools typically found in the tech stack to expand the functionality and utility of the software. Tools offering plentiful native integrations, 3rd party connections, and API access to build custom integrations score best.
Ease of Use (10% of final score)
We consider how quick and easy it is to execute the tasks defined in the core functionality using the tool. High scoring software is well designed, intuitive to use, offers mobile apps, provides templates, and makes relatively complex tasks seem simple.
Onboarding (10% of final score)
We know how important rapid team adoption is for a new platform, so we evaluate how easy it is to learn and use a tool with minimal training. We evaluate how quickly a team member can get set up and start using the tool with no experience. High scoring solutions indicate little or no support is required.
Customer Support (10% of final score)
We review how quick and easy it is to get unstuck and find help by phone, live chat, or knowledge base. Tools and companies that provide real-time support score best, while chatbots score worst.
Customer Reviews (10% of final score)
Beyond our own testing and evaluation, we consider the net promoter score from current and past customers. We review their likelihood, given the option, to choose the tool again for the core functionality. A high scoring software reflects a high net promoter score from current or past customers.
Value for Money (10% of final score)
Lastly, in consideration of all the other criteria, we review the average price of entry level plans against the core features and consider the value of the other evaluation criteria. Software that delivers more, for less, will score higher.
Core Features
Employee Self-Service Payroll
Employees enter and approve their own hours and changes. This reduces data errors and gives workers direct access to pay information.
Automated Payroll Processing
Run payroll and calculate taxes automatically from one dashboard. You can review changes before payroll is finalized each pay period.
Tax Management and Filing
Paycom calculates, withholds, and files local, state, and federal taxes. This helps you stay compliant without tracking deadlines yourself.
Direct Deposit and Paycards
Offer multiple electronic pay options, including direct deposit and reloadable paycards. This gives employees immediate access to their funds on payday.
Payroll Analytics and Reporting
Generate payroll reports for audits, budgeting, or compliance reviews. Reports are ready-to-use and filterable by department or location.
Garnishments Administration
Paycom manages wage garnishments and ensures accurate withholdings. This feature helps you handle court-ordered deductions correctly and on time.
Ease of Use
I find Paycom’s interface straightforward and intuitive, with navigation that feels accessible even for first-time users. Employees can easily clock in and out, view pay stubs, request time off, and update their own records through a mobile-friendly self-service portal with clear prompts and guided workflows. The platform’s wizard-driven onboarding experience also makes it easy for new hires to enter their information and complete documents with minimal HR involvement. For administrators, payroll previews, real-time validation, and Paycom’s single-database architecture help reduce errors and eliminate redundant data entry, while dashboards, reporting tools, and in-app support remain easy to use without feeling overwhelming.
Integrations
Paycom doesn’t offer any out of the box integrations with other platforms, nor does it offer a public API, instead it emphasizes its single-database platform over external third-party integration tools.
