Provides time-saving solutions for small business payrolls
I would say, relative to another payroll solution, running payroll with Gusto probably costs half the price and saves us 5 to 10 hours a month. I would say Gusto is a really good payroll solution for small businesses. Running payroll with Gusto costs half the price and saves us 5 to 10 hours a month. My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer. I was not offered a gift card or incentive for this review. I rated Gusto 9 out of 10 because of some customer support issues that kept it from being a 10.

Has connected financial data across departments and improved future cash flow planning
I would like to improve the integration with other solutions, as I need everything integrated, like the HR module, purchase module, SCM, production, and engineering. Each and every module should be connected to the finance module, and I think Oracle provides the right solution. Also, SAP, IFS, or Microsoft Dynamics 365 offer some solutions, but I am not as happy with them as I am with Oracle. I believe that Oracle E-Business Suite could improve by transitioning from Java-based scripts in our system to a web-based environment. While Oracle already has JD Edwards available in web-based format, I think it needs to be smoother for optimization and presentation in the future. In comparison, IFS is fully web-based, and all applications are sufficiently good and user-friendly. We are developing and trying to improve to a web-based setup, but it is currently too costly.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We used QuickBooks before Gusto; we switched because Gusto is much easier, and it also is used for payroll as an HR IT solution with multiple uses."
"I appreciated the templates that they offered for new hires and onboarding."
"Gusto is a really good payroll solution for small businesses."
"I think the most value I have gotten from Gusto has been the interface, as it's very simple to use and it's very easy to understand."
"I like the payroll part. We also use documents and forms whenever we hire, such as a new hire form for each state, and we like that as well."
"As we have been using this for the past nine years we have had the opportunity to explore the product. Really everything has worked well and all the modules are very good."
"The ease of use is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The new Subledger Accounting feature is very strong."
"The order management is excellent."
"Removed paper/spreadsheet time-cards and replaced the paper process with an electronic online process for annual benefits enrollment, view pay slip online, view W-2 online, etc., and we are able to submit government reports electronically."
"The most valuable feature is the data availability across the enterprise from sales to manufacturing to distribution."
"This is a world-class application that includes a lot of business processes from other ERPs that Oracle has acquired."
"It is very scalable, and it will grow as my company grows."
 

Cons

"Their enrollment e-signature, enrollment forms, and other documents need a lot of work."
"My experience with Gusto's customer support sometimes shows they're not responsive, and they have definitely made mistakes in the past."
"Their enrollment e-signature, enrollment forms, and other documents need a lot of work. Once we fill in the information, we cannot go back and change any of that. It's a time-taking process. If there is any mistake in the document and if we need to go and change a specific field in the form, it's not possible. We have to redo the entire form."
"In the beginning, their support was top-notch. And then around the beginning of 2022, and end of 2021, their support tanked. We used to get responses in the beginning within one to two business days, and towards the end, we were getting responses in one to two business weeks."
"The integration is not so good."
"The level of technical support depends on who you get. Sometimes they'll lag along and we have to keep prodding them and babysit the ticket."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is heavy subscriptions based and the solution's upgrades, under the technology licensing, are quite costly."
"From the business processes, there are areas where you could streamline new processes."
"The solution needs to be updated with modern technology as it currently runs on the Java platform, JRE, which is obsolete and requires you to use an NPAPI-supported browser to run the tool."
"It's difficult for some customers to understand in the beginning. A user really has to understand the processes."
"It requires training before you can easily use this product, so it should be easier to use."
"I would say the integration needs improvement. Oracle needs to work on the integration layer to make the solution much more robust and modern."
"It is not a good idea to use this old system nowadays. It is deprecated. Choose more modern system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Fees for support and licensing should be reduced."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. There is an initial cost, and the standard fee is 22% per year."
"Oracle's pricing is lower than that of its competitors."
"The price would be better if it were lower."
"The pricing of Oracle E-Business Suite is too high."
"Oracle scales the pricing, but E-Business Suite is still very expensive for small to mid-sized businesses."
"In order to minimize the implementation and consultancy costs, business lines should have proper definitions. They need to have a proper way of retrieving their data, which should be structured well."
"I would rate the pricing a nine out of ten, with ten being very expensive."
