Complex and inflexible reporting tools 59% negative reviews out of 58 Some reviewers describe reporting as confusing, difficult to customize, and lacking user-friendly options for specific needs. Jenna C Human Resources Assistant , 51 - 200 employees. "Reports in my opinion could use some improvement; some types of reports are not able to be run in Proliant and it causes a little frustration." Intuitive and simple interface 81% positive reviews out of 69 Most reviewers find the software straightforward, user-friendly, and easy to navigate for daily tasks. Recurring technical glitches and delays 62% negative reviews out of 37 Some users report persistent bugs, slow response times, and unresolved technical issues disrupting workflow and reliability. Accessible training and onboarding resources 83% positive reviews out of 30 Most reviewers indicate training materials and support make learning the system straightforward for new and existing users. ## Proliant's interface Proliant’s interface is generally easy to navigate, with core HR and payroll tools placed logically. However, users report friction when switching between modules—especially for time tracking—and say mobile access can be unintuitive, slowing task completion. Barkha Bali Content Writer Reviewers say onboarding and payroll tools are easy to find, but switching between modules—especially for time tracking—can be clunky. Expect a short learning curve on desktop, but mobile workflows may take longer to master due to extra navigation steps.

Running bi-weekly payroll was very simple and easy, much easier than on ADP. Pros Excellent payroll system and very easy to uses. Some of the reports can be a bit complicated to figure out but this software made running payroll a breeze. Onboarding new employees was a breeze. Cons The reports were very complicated to figure out and the process to run them wasn't very user friendly. I often had to contact my customer rep to have them run specific reports.

Senior Accountant Food Production ### "Payroll ease" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 August 20, 2025 We use it for 500 plus employees hourly and salaried. The support from the ProLiant team is great. We reach out to our main contact, and he usually gets back to us same day. Pros Best feature compared to other payroll software's is the reporting features. I can run a report for the specific needs of each department and management. Cons As with most payroll software's using their timeclock systems should flow great. However, human error for a heavy payroll needs to be simplified in my opinion. Stand out where it sees corrections are needed. Switched from [TimeClock Plus](https://www.capterra.com/p/21548/TimeClock-Plus/) ProLiant handles all our tax reporting and benefits instead of our payroll admin.

CD Christina D. HR Director Architecture & Planning ### "Avoid ProLiant - Select A Different Vendor" 1.0 Overall Rating 1.0 1.0 Ease of Use 1.0 1.0 Features 1.0 1.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 May 14, 2025 Very negative. Our representative is snarky, and has never worked in payroll professionally at all. Further, weekly scheduled meetings to streamline communication are often missed and/or canceled, until ultimately we have decided to just try to figure things out ourselves. Pros The cost has been affordable. That's about the only good thing I can say at this p oint. Cons Service. Terrible Service. We can't get answers to questions, when we do, we're encouraged to "purchase an upgrade" to solve the problems we have. It took as 6 months or better to get payroll processed properly. Switched from [BambooHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/110968/BambooHR/) At the time, Bamboo was a bit behind on EDIs for benefit carriers, and we needed to streamline our systems communication. We went with ProLiant because they had the EDIs already built. A regret now, I must say. Alternatives considered [BambooHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/110968/BambooHR/) [Paylocity](https://www.capterra.com/p/86714/WebPay/) [Paycor](https://www.capterra.com/p/133745/Paycor-Perform/) Reasons for choosing Proliant Cost was the driving factor.

HR Generalist Telecommunications ### "One Happy Customer" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 April 7, 2025 In my overall experience, I am definitely looking forward to seeing what other features and programs are added to continue to improve the customer experience. Pros I like the ability to have everything in one place. Payroll, benefits, performance management. What I like most about the service is it is a one stop shop. The service team response has gotten better as well. Cons I do not enjoy the new design. It is unnecessarily complex and I have trouble locating needed features, which used to be easy to find.

It is simple to use and everything is where you'd think it would be. Pros What I liked most about Proliant is all of the time management, HR, and payroll is wrapped into one! Cons The separate window/link for "time management" makes it a little complicated to learn how to navigate and what is where.

Having everything in one tool is great, ease of use. Also helps our hiring managers within talent acquisition to be able to pull up resumes for their positions without waiting for HR to filter through. Cons That it logs me out quickly, wish it would stay logged in longer.

Owner Hospital & Health Care ### "Honest Review of My Experience With Recommendation NOT to use Proliant " 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 1/10 December 5, 2023 Overall, easy to use platform. The electronic onboarding was the best feature. The customer service is suboptimal, mistakes were occasionally, but parting with them for valid reasons causes them to maliciously try and stick it to their former customers by withholding personnel records that were already paid for. There is absolutely no reasoning with \[sensitive content hidden\]. For these reasons, I want to warn any company thinking about using them for payroll. Pros We switched to Proliant for the electronic onboarding and because our last payroll had poor customer service. The price was fair and their platform was user friendly. Our overall favorite service was the electronic onboarding feature. Cons We had a good customer service rep for the first 6 months. The next one was terrible. Then we got \[sensitive content hidden\]. She was better but dropped the ball several time in the past 18 months. We had to escalate the poor customer service up, which took speaking with multiple people to get resolution. Our 1095-A's for 2022 were not completed accurately despite spending a large amount of time trying to work Proliant on the accuracy. Ultimately, we decided to leave due to the poor customer service but it wasn't until we gave notice and left that their real character was reveled. We paid the three month penalty to the tune of $1600 and were given 30 days to download our payroll reports, which we did. They are currently holding our Personnel records including our W4's, I9's, job descriptions, employee handbook acknowledgment and various policy and procedures for ransom, trying to extort more money for access to our records. Our attorney reviewed the service agreement and the term payroll reports is all that is used in the 30 day clause. There is no definition of what happens to the electronic signature forms that were obtained and paid for already during our monthly service when they were signed. I am absolutely appalled that Proliant would keep such important records for any business.

Alternatives considered [Viventium Software](https://www.capterra.com/p/161138/Viventium-Software/) Reasons for choosing Proliant I went with Proliant strictly because they were cheaper but believe me, I wish I had made a wiser choice knowing what I know now.
