Excellent service, highly recommended

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: Great, really happy 😆

Pros:

I searched high and low and spoke to all of the payroll software providers and Octopaye are by far the best, easy to use and we are very happy and we wouldn’t change providers.

Cons:

You can’t click “back” you have to re do the work.

The best payroll system I've ever used!

5.0 2 months ago

Comments: I have thouroughly enjoyed the process of being onboard with Octopaye and would have no hesitation in highly recommending them to any payroll team.

Pros:

Octopaye is so easy to set up and so easy to use. Its fast, responsive and has helped streamline our entire payroll process. The support given by the team at Octopaye is second to none and its an absolute pleasure working with them.

Cons:

The only element we need in of Octopaye that hasn't been fully developed yet is the ability to produce KID documents but that will be available in the future.

Good Software - Gets the job done and done well!

5.0 3 years ago

Pros:

The CRM and timesheet management is done well, this makes managing processes easier. it also assists in compliance, for the price it is a well thought out piece of software

Cons:

The interface is a little clunky - but I have been assured that this is being sorted, but they are currently working on streaming the software to make it work faster, so happy to live with it for now

Comments: Both myself and the team find it a really good system with the added bonus of lots of support from the Octopaye team

Pros:

We use the portal which has a link from our website which is great for clients

To Octopaye or not to Octopaye? That is the question. (Definitely to Octopaye!)

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: Overall I have always had a great experience with Octopaye, and I would not hesitated to recommend the software.

Pros:

The payroll process in Octopaye is seamless and very user friendly, but should a rare issue occur you can always rely on their customer service team, they are second to none.

Cons:

The ability to hold an approved timesheet would be a useful feature for us.
