"Best payroll software"

**Overall:** Always happy to use Bright and when we get new payroll clients we will put them on Bright for ease. Client support is also quick and readily available.

**Pros:** Brightpay is so simple to use and figure out where features are. The navigation is clear, and takes some of the stress out of payroll. Staff also like the ease of the employee portal, as well as being able to see their holiday allowance. The ability to link to HMRC and Nest is helpful too.

**Cons:** I like the new cloud software but it seems to have a lot of bugs. They look to be resolved quickly but when submitting time sensitive information it can add to the pressure.

**Switched From:** [Xero](https://www.capterra.com/p/120109/Xero/)

**Reasons for Switching to Bright:** Xero payroll is not as developed as Bright and it's more difficult to make changes to payroll. We mostly use Brightpay now but are trying to switch Xero payroll customers to bright

"Great for smaller & simple businesses "

**Pros:** Easy to use with an intuitive interface, great customer support, affordable for small teams, and reliable payroll/HR features

**Cons:** A bit limited compared with bigger HR/payroll suites, setup and learning can take time, and a few features or integrations feel clunky or missing.
