Paylocity Scores Big with 26th Consecutive G2 Leader Ranking

Paylocity continues to lead the pack in the G2 Grid Reports, being named an overall leader in 10 human capital management (HCM) product categories in its Spring 2025 Grid Reports, marking 26 straight quarters in which Paylocity clients have highly ranked Paylocity as a leader in the HCM industry. G2 Grid Reports are based on clients’ day-to-day experiences and high customer satisfaction levels. Paylocity continues to be the #1 overall choice in several critical categories for HR professionals. 

Paylocity maintains an overall 4.4 (out of 5) rating based on nearly 2,800 client reviews, earning recognition as a leader in each of the Enterprise, Mid-Market, and Small Business segments. G2 user satisfaction ratings also place Paylocity as leading its competitors in ease of use, likelihood to recommend, and average time to return on investment. 

“Paylocity has a module for everything an HR department needs. I can run payroll, administer benefits, stay up-to-date on compliance, update my company policies, procedures and job descriptions, find market pay rates, onboard employees, and so much more on one platform,” said G2 Reviewer Tracie Ragland. “Paylocity implementation was practically seamless and their customer service department is very knowledgeable and quick to respond. I use the platform constantly throughout my day. Paylocity is by far the best HRIS system I have ever used. I highly recommend this platform for any size business or HR team!”

The recent acquisition of leading spend management company Airbase furthers Paylocity’s meaningful contributions to supporting our clients across multiple teams and improves Paylocity’s standing with G2. Airbase was named the #1 Momentum Leader in  by G2 in the most recent Spring reports, highlighting the increasing capabilities of the Paylocity platform. 

Further building on Paylocity’s advanced employee engagement capabilities — such as personalized recommendations, surveys, and meaningful workforce insights — the Employee Voice tool allows businesses to automate feedback from employees at scale. This innovation empowers clients like ISG to build better processes and make more data driven strategic decisions. 

“Running surveys on benefits has been very useful,” said ISG VP of Human Resources Steve Meacham. “We can measure satisfaction levels and dropped one provider based on the responses. It shows our employees that we are listening to them and making decisions based on their feedback.”

Paylocity has again been ranked as an overall leader in the following categories:

• Core HR
• Payroll
• Performance Management
• Time Tracking
• Onboarding
• Corporate Learning Management Systems
• Workforce Management
• Human Resource Management Systems
• Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)
• Benefits Administration

"The platform is user friendly,” said G2 reviewer Crystal Adams. “Implementation was super easy. They listen to new ideas and are constantly updating the platform with new features and offerings. We have the opportunity to integrate with numerous outside partners. The dedicated support team is a plus as well.
