Abdul-Rauf - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager Payroll Services & Operations at Meshsol Technologies
Simplifies payroll processing and reduces the need for extensive marketing efforts while providing scalability, compliance, and excellent stability
I believe there is room for enhancement in the scope of services. We encountered challenges at times in clearly defining it, particularly because the firewall domain is extensive and demands localization for this service. Consequently, there is occasional confusion regarding whether a service falls under the standard category or is considered an add-on. I think there is a need for a deeper level of comprehension.
Petra Valjak - PeerSpot reviewer

Unified HR platform has streamlined global hiring, reduced onboarding work, and improved reviews
There are some minor things that I am looking forward to seeing improved in Deel, such as employment types. For example, I hire a lot of interns and there isn't a specific employment type for intern. There are employment types for direct employee, contractor and similar, but nothing for interns. There is a way to work around it by saying an intern is actually a direct employee and then implementing a custom field, but it would be really good if there was a general field to recognize interns as a part of the workforce. That is something that comes to mind. I think there are still some things that Deel will improve over time and then I will be happy to give it a 10 out of 10. Given the fact that it is still a fairly new HRIS system, there are minor improvements that can be made from that perspective of purely admin work, for example, correcting data in the fields once you import them when changing a salary. If I input one salary incorrectly, I need to import another line. I cannot just correct the previous field, which some of the other HRIS systems allow. This way, on one hand I have full tracking of all the logs so I am not missing if someone corrected something or did any changes, but on the other hand, it also remains visible in the logs. Even if it is a small human error, there is no way to make it very well structured and polished when I am drawing, for example, a historical report of all the salary changes. Such things are minor improvements that I believe would come over time. Once those are implemented, it would be a 10 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The ability to have one reporting for all countries is valuable."
"I like the reporting feature as it allows me to generate reports independently without relying on a payroll consultant."
"The product allows you to create and manage shared services centrally even in small countries."
"The most valuable feature was that everything was in one system."
"The product is good, user-friendly, and effective."
"The advantage was that ADP Streamline was inherently designed to serve as a marketing engine for the company."
"They are very strong in terms of having a central regional system, where a regional person can see and monitor the calendar for each different country and know what stage they are in, if the process has been finalized and approved, and if the process has gone back to the bank, all monitored regionally."
"Now with Deel, we've cut down to just a few hiccups here and there, which we resolve before they become problems, and trusting Deel to do the work correctly is a game-changer because we check things, but we generally know that mistakes are quite rare, making it great to have that trust."
"Deel has positively impacted my organization in many ways, as it has definitely streamlined a lot of my processes with all of the payments in one place and all of the employee data in one place."
"Deel has positively impacted my organization by streamlining payroll processes."
"Deel has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to focus on work and leave the compliant hiring to Deel."
"Deel has positively impacted our organization by reducing the time necessary for payroll processing from the moment of payroll inputs to payroll outputs, reducing human errors, and greatly helping us hire professionals in regions where we couldn't do so before."
"Deel has positively impacted my organization as it is not only a good price point for startups, but it is also very startup-friendly."
"Deel has positively impacted my organization by optimizing manual processes, manual analysis, and generating payroll."
"Deel has positively impacted my organization by making it easier to find the best talent in the world, no matter where they may be."
 

Cons

"We had to scrap plans to integrate Brazil because it was not doable."
"The UI could be improved to be a bit more modern or trendy because it looks old-fashioned compared to other systems."
"I think there is a need for a deeper level of comprehension."
"They could improve the service relationship manager (SRM), because they have an SRM which is not familiar with Simple."
"Having more clear guidance on design and training would be beneficial."
"The product is not quite up to our expectations."
"The pricing is high as compared with other products in the market. For a small service that is out of scope, it has a huge service charge."
"The reporting tool could be improved as it currently is just a data dump and much manipulation is required."
"Deel can be improved on costing, such as being more transparent from day one."
"Deel can be improved in terms of user interface."
"I think Deel can be improved with quicker support when we open email requests."
"There are some minor things that I am looking forward to seeing improved in Deel, such as employment types."
"Deel can be improved by making adjustments to contract styles, especially regarding incentives or bonuses, which can be a little tricky, as their legal team sometimes takes their time and doesn't show consistency in what they allow and what they don't, but these are relatively minor issues."
"Deel can be improved in such a way that I am able to connect to customer service faster because usually it just directs me to an AI, which sometimes isn't really that helpful."
"We have encountered a couple of issues when it comes to navigating parental leave and pay or off-boarding and severance payments, which is where we have had our biggest issues."
"Deel can be improved, especially since their reporting is not the greatest."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The amount we pay is not low, and it is not high. It is average."
