The service is great! If I'm unable to find answers in the help section or within the community, support is always helpful in providing answers.

Apex HCM has helped us grow our business

Out experience has been fantastic! We can offer additional services that allow us to directly compete with the larger payroll companies.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

The client interface and its ease of use is one of the most important aspects of the platform.

Cons:

They could be stronger with API integrations.

Reasons for choosing Apex HCM

I chose Apex because of the overall capabilities they offer to us, the client facing interface, and the fact that they only sell to SBO's. They will never be our competition like some other payroll platforms.

So so software. Support isn't great so don't buy the sales pitch about them being available and responsive.

so so at best. [sensitive content hidden] (my "trainer") was great for the first few months.

Pros:

SO much more efficient than Accounting CS by [sensitive content hidden]

Cons:

Support, lack of built in efile ability, lack or responsiveness from sales/support, the fact that they sold me a product that wasn't built to file the forms in my state

Reasons for switching to Apex HCM

gained efficiency, APEX felt more up to date and makes data backup a non-thing.
