Sales Director Financial Services ### "The best payroll system I've ever used! " 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 10/10 July 25, 2024 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. Switched from [Merit Payroll](https://www.capterra.com/p/155811/Merit-Payroll/) Because Merit no longer supported our growth or our needs.
