No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The ability to access your payroll information from anywhere and to look back at months prior is amazing. #### Cons Some staff struggle with using apps and accessing email.

Greenshades provides secure access for all emplyees to receive payroll hstory and year end documents through the portal without consuming extra administrative staff's time. #### Cons Time to implement the services customized to our company needs. Necessity to provide historical information that was not readily available. #### Reasons for choosing Greenshades Affordability and limited functionality to meed our basic needs. --- ### Mid-Size Payroll Service using for Tax Purposes - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Haley H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Accounting - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We have over 7000 W-2's that we process, so it is good to have as an information gather. However, we must go over the information closely, for it is incorrect in some ways. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros The software is quite easily to use and information can be manipulated. #### Cons The software does not communicate well with our payroll software (Darwin 16). It doesn't pull the correct information and since the techs with Greenshades don't know much about Darwin they state they can't fix it. Also we are using the software in Alabama mostly and the software is not even capable of creating an upload file with our state. #### Reasons for choosing Greenshades He has been with Darwin since 2000. We have looked into other software in the last two years, both payroll and tax related. We have not decided if we are ready to move. --- ### [sensitive content hidden] IS AWESOME - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: GLEN B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Wholesale - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: February 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

I HAD A DIFFICULT TIME UNDERSTANDING THE G/L MAPPING. #### Reasons for switching to Greenshades MICROSOFT GP WILL NOT SUPPORT THE PAYROLL TAX TABLES OR UPDATE SS/40K/HSA MAX AMOUNTS AT THE END OF 2026 OR 2027. WE WOULD HAVE BEEN SOL. --- ### Greenshades & Image Pointe/Dignity Apparel - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Tammy D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Warehousing - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We have been using it for quite some time. We went from paper record keeping to Greenshades so I have no comparison. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Mostly very user friendly. Love the support that is available and the options of remote support if great. #### Cons Sometimes not being able to quickly get to a report for lack of not knowing how. Every once in a while, a support ticket can take a long time to get solved. #### Vendor response Hi Tammy, Thank you for your thoughtful review and for being a loyal Greenshades user.

The overall experience with Greenshades is positive and great.

The representatives are very professional and patient. #### Cons The least about Greenshades is the product price. It's increasing every year. It's hard for the small business to afford. #### Vendor response Angela, Thank you for your feedback and for being a loyal Greenshades user!

Replied June 2025 --- ### Great product - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ruth R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It has been good. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros This software is much less expensive than any other product I have reviewed. For the price, it is easy to use and I like that the information entered in the Greenshades software carries over to our payroll system entry for entry instead of a general "dump" of information on the accounting side. #### Cons When calling into customer service, it is difficult to work my way up to an "expert" who can fix an issue that takes more knowledge than the front line person has. It would be nice to have a dedicated customer service person that I could talk to each time I have an issue instead of calling in and a random person helping me. When this happens I have to explain each time how our benefits are set up. If I had a dedicated person that I could call who only dealt with a specific number of companies, they would more easily and quickly understand the issue I am having instead of me spending 10 minutes or more explaining what I need. #### Reasons for choosing Greenshades The cost was a major factor. Also, the way entries in Greenshades carry over to our payroll system. --- ### Payroll Reporting - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: AZI I. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. The technical supports are great and reachable. Most of the problems are solved within reasonable time. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Since we started using the software, we don't have to issue check stubs to employee anymore. Our year end distribution of W2 to employees and the reporting process to authorities were smooth and finished on timely manner. #### Cons the widow for submission of W2 with a staggering increase in price - this need to be modified to lesser increase in cost or longer period. instead of having 5 different pricing level, reduce it to 3 maybe with a slightly longer window. #### Reasons for choosing Greenshades we were suggested by great plain software technical support to use Greenshades and that was a great decision we've made. --- ### Basic Greenshades use - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Gina C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Government Administration - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Working with this company overall has been a positive experience. I would recommend the software to small companies however I haven't used a lot of the other products. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The software is super easy to use. I only use the basic time keeping module and W-2 printing/reporting. Anytime I call support they are helpful and always follow up with me if they don't have answers. #### Cons Greenshades was very difficult to deploy in 2013. I felt like the company grew so fast it couldn't keep up. IT seemd when the company moved to the cloud, there was a few bumps. We are a 24/7 operation so the down time for upgrades or maintenance cause our team some issues. --- ### Greenshades Review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jennifer K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Food & Beverages - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.
