Deel Reviews

We use Deel primarily to hire talent across the globe and to manage payroll through Deel. Onboarding and offboarding are huge parts of our employee cycle, and we also manage some of the expenses that our employees might have. Payroll is quite an important aspect of our usage.

Once we have closed a job position, we start the onboarding process from Deel. Once we set up all the important information, such as the personal information from a contractor's side, we set up a Deel contract. Once both parties sign, we start the general onboarding within the company as well. Deel is set up in an interesting way, so we don't really interfere with employees' personal information such as their bank information or sensitive data. This information is offloaded from our side because contractors set up the transfer information themselves. They set up whether they want to be an individual contractor or a B2B client, and this is really seamless and secure, which helps us streamline processes.

When it comes to onboarding, we use a general onboarding process that we have at the company as internal onboarding, but through Deel, we set up all payroll information. If there are any expenses that the company needs to cover, we also handle that through Deel.

We also use Deel for time-off logging, which is quite important to have everything in one place. We know where everybody is from and what country's compliance they are using or what country's holidays and time-offs apply. Having this one-stop shop for all of our employees is quite crucial, and I am really happy that we use Deel on a daily basis. Deel has really streamlined the platform, and it advances on a daily basis. Although there are some bugs and challenges that we have faced along the way, everybody is super eager to hear back from customers, and we always have catch-ups and meetings, even with our customer success representative. They are open to ideas and process improvements, which is really commendable.

We have been using Deel for around two years.

People are more comfortable and more organized since we have a couple of different processes within the company that everybody follows through, and Deel helps us to follow the rules very wisely. Deel has brought some consistency within the departments as well as some organizational flows. Everything is done quite rapidly and with low human involvement, which was not really the case before.

Payroll tracking and approving expenses are definitely valuable features for us.

It is quite easy for us to make payments across the globe. Overall, Deel's mission is to hire talent worldwide, and I think that is what it does for us as well. It has helped us to reach everybody in a timely manner and serves as a one-stop shop when it comes to handling multiple payrolls in different countries. For some accountants and from a finance perspective, that might seem quite a time-consuming task, whereas with Deel, we streamline that within a couple of clicks, which is quite important.

With some of the updates, there are sometimes bugs that we face, so checking some of the updates from the user perspective could work the best.

I remember there were some updates with approving expenses, and I think they also integrated AI within it. Before I approve some of the expenses, AI reads all of the documents that people have usually submitted. If it is in a different currency or a different language, then Deel flags it, and it is not really visible from my end. We have had a couple of cases when some of the expenses were pending for a couple of months due to that factor, so I think that is quite an important thing to pay attention to.

All of those bugs that come with updates lower the overall experience, and the pricing might be quite expensive for some companies in Europe.

Overall, it is within our budget usually. I know that Deel EOR is a little bit more pricey than onboarding average contractors, but it makes sense in the end of the day. This decision is not really from my perspective, so I cannot really comment more on this.

Deel is stable, if we take into consideration my comment regarding the updates.

Deel handles scalability well for our needs.

I really appreciate one feature on Deel where you can actually book a call with the customer success representative from the homepage. Everybody is super responsive via email or via call as well, so I would rate the customer service as excellent.

Before, we were using more manual solutions where our finance team had to do onboarding and all of that manually. We moved on to Deel to bring more automation to the table.

I would say the time saved with our processes is a key benefit, but I cannot really comment on other topics at the moment.

We did not evaluate other options while choosing Deel.

I would say to revert back to your team, understand if that is something your team really needs, and if the company really needs it as well. I would say to do good research before jumping into Deel because I think the platform can offer more than just doing the payroll. I would say to do the research, talk with people, talk with Deel representatives, and get a customized plan for each and every one of you. It is a really cool platform, a really great initiative with a really good mission behind it, so let us try to use it to its fullest. I would rate this review eight out of ten.

I have been using Deel for the past six years. My main use case for Deel is global payroll, EOR, and freelancers. We use EOR when we want to hire someone based in a country where we don't have a local entity, and for short-term projects, we hire freelancers.

It has been a pleasure to work with Deel. We have been able to set up three different entities in the US, the UK, Spain, Germany, and Denmark. Everything has been smooth. They are incredible with their customer service. You can get any type of answer in less than 24 hours, which is a great addition for anyone working in payroll and HR.

All features offered by Deel are just a click away. You can organize your time when you want to do your payroll, and I also appreciate the fact that you need to approve, pre-approve, and approve again before launching any payment.

Global payroll is the feature I find myself using the most, and it saves me so much time, both for me and my team leader. It results in a significant gain in the time that we are spending on payroll.

The positive impact of Deel on my organization is significant. For payroll, everything is sequenced, which helps us understand when and where we have to start our payroll process and when it stops. The fact that everything is viewable from the homepage to know exactly when the payroll opens, when it closes, and what approval we need makes everything at a glance super useful.

The fact that Deel has very talented and operational payroll managers helps us reduce the stress of having to know everything related to one country's tax and payroll obligations. For peace of mind, it is invaluable, and having everything at a glance on the homepage about what you have to do, when, and how is also super useful. You are sure you are not going to miss anything, and you will be fully compliant with each jurisdiction.

Deel updates their design and website quite frequently, which I understand is for the sake of improving user experience, but sometimes it is really hard to find something you have been looking for. They change places all the time, but you have to be a very active user. If you are just a light user, such as checking for some information, you might get lost at some point. However, if you are a regular user of the platform, you can navigate through this.

Deel is stable.

Deel's scalability is great.

The customer support from Deel is amazing. That is their strength in my opinion. They offer 24/7 availability, and I have nothing to add apart from spectacular customer support.

I tried to use Multiply to check and compare with Deel, as we had already been with Deel. I wanted to have a second provider, but Multiply was not as good as Deel, so we did not go further with the contract and never worked with them. I evaluated Remote, Oyster, and Multiply before choosing Deel.

I have definitely seen a return on investment with fewer employees needed. Since we operate in many different countries, if I had to hire one specialized HR person for each country, it would be super expensive. Having just one person dedicated to payroll for the full spectrum of our global payroll is definitely some money saved.

I would advise others looking into using Deel to have the finance person in their company participate in setting up the product together because in terms of invoicing. I give this product a rating of 10 out of 10.

Our main use case for Deel is managing global hiring and payroll in one place. We use it to process payroll for all our contractors.

Recently, we hired a contractor from the Philippines and onboarded them through Deel. We use the platform for onboarding, background checks, payroll setup, time tracking, and time-off requests.

Overall, Deel has been a highly valuable tool for managing global teams. It stands out in simplifying international hiring and payroll, especially with its compliance and automation features. While there’s room to improve in simplicity and support response times, the overall impact has been very positive, and it’s a platform I would recommend to companies looking to scale globally.

One of the best features Deel offers is the ability to hire globally without setting up local entities. This lets us onboard employees in 150+ countries while Deel handles contracts, taxes, and benefits, and still gives us flexibility to create custom documents and policies. It also supports paying contractors across regions like Poland, Costa Rica, and the Philippines.

The feature we use most day-to-day is global payroll management. We rely on it every two weeks for salary processing, contractor payments, bonuses, and off-cycle payments.

Overall, Deel has had a strong positive impact on our organization. It simplifies international hiring, payroll, and compliance, while saving time, reducing administrative work, and helping us track contractor time-off requests in one place.

One area for improvement in Deel is its user interface and navigation. At times, it can feel overwhelming—especially for new users—due to the number of tabs and settings, which can slow down simple tasks or cause confusion.

I have been using Deel for over a year now.

Deel is stable.

Deel is highly scalable, as it is designed to support companies from early-stage startups all the way to large global enterprises.

Overall, the customer support is good; they are generally responsive, helpful, and knowledgeable, especially for day-to-day concerns, and they are very fast and responsive most of the time, which is really helpful especially for time-sensitive payroll concerns.

Before using Deel, we managed international hiring and payroll through a mix of local payroll providers and manual processes including spreadsheets and direct bank transfers; we also used QuickBooks and Gusto.

While exact numbers sometimes vary, Deel actually reduces payroll processing time by around 50 to 80 percent. One of the features that I appreciate about Deel is that it has a generated report wherein we can use to filter the data that we need in order to process the payroll. It also allows us to have a faster global hiring process; instead of days, it sometimes would only take two to three hours to process the contractor onboarding, and when it comes to hiring full-time employees or contractors, instead of taking months to set up a specific entity, in Deel it would only take days, which is really good speed for us to become efficient.

We have definitely seen a positive return on investment, mainly through time savings, reduced compliance risk, and avoiding the cost of setting up local entities.

Before choosing Deel, we evaluated a few other global payroll and EOR platforms to make sure that we picked the best fit for our needs, exploring platforms including Remote, which we considered because it is strong in compliance and EOR services, but it is slightly less flexible in contractor payments compared to Deel.

My advice would be to clearly understand your global hiring and payroll needs first, and then take time to properly set up Deel and use its automation features; it is a powerful platform, but you get the most value when you align it with your processes and scale gradually. I would rate this product a 9 out of 10.

My main use case for Deel is that I have used it for contractors on a pay-as-you-go basis, and I have used it for global payroll in my previous job as well as my current job. We are using it for many more countries in this position than I was in my previous position.

I can give you a specific example of how we use Deel: we are using it for all of our EMEA, APAC, and UK countries, we are upgrading to the GPC files instead of the Pecy files, and we are automating and streamlining as much as we possibly can.

The best features Deel offers include a very user-friendly system as far as the platform itself, and the customer service is really great. If you have issues, they are right there to help you.

Deel has positively impacted my organization because the customer service stepped in and helped right away when we had an issue where payroll was possibly going to be delayed. I appreciate that they are constantly updating and upgrading their features, and I think they are adding more and more as time goes on.

Deel can be improved, especially since their reporting is not the greatest. If they could upgrade that to where we can build the reports that we need, it would be helpful.

I would also like to add that sometimes the platform is very slow because everyone is on it, so if speed could be increased, that would be great.

I have been using Deel for roughly over six years.

Deel is stable.

For our company, Deel's scalability works for all the countries that we have.

The customer support is great. Anytime that I need something, they are right there, whether it is through Slack or email.

We previously used CloudPay, but it just was not scalable for our business, which is why we switched to Deel.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing has been that the pricing is very competitive with other markets, but I feel that they are at the top as far as what they offer, and the setup costs and licensing seem to be in the top five.

I do not have specific numbers at the moment, but I do know that we are getting a return on investment based on making my team leaner, so we only have one person now where we had two before. I feel that the more I automate it, I will be able to decrease that number as well.

Before choosing Deel, we did evaluate other options, including looking at Remote.

My advice to others looking into using Deel is that it is a great product if you have EMEA, APAC, and UK operations.

Since we started using Deel, we are still integrating things, but I feel that we are getting better with automation and being able to streamline things, which has cut down on our payroll time. I plan on decreasing that payroll time to where we are more efficient in the future.

Payroll time has been reduced by 12%, and my target for the future is 20%. I would rate this product a 9 out of 10.

We use Deel to manage our contractors, contracts, and payments. All of our contracts are managed through Deel. Deel also helps us to follow the legal procedures in each country. We have contractors all over Latin America, such as Peru, Brazil, and Mexico, so we use Deel to comply with local regulations and manage their payments. All payments are processed through Deel.

We are also using Deel to manage vacations, allowing contractors to request time off through the platform. We have evaluated using it for other tools such as one-on-one feedback, but we have not implemented that yet.

Deel was very easy to set up initially, so we did not need to involve the technical team or any other experts. We were able to connect it and start using it right away. It also has great support in case we have doubts or needs regarding the platform. Usability is definitely a strong point for Deel. We have used other software before, and they took too long to manage payments. Deel is much faster than other competitors for payment processing.

Implementation was very fast with the usability that Deel offers, which saved us a lot of time. Payment time was an issue for us, as the other platform took too long to transfer money, and Deel solved that right away. Being able to use local currencies helped us adjust to the contractors' needs.

Deel has made our contractor system possible and much easier to manage from a human resources point of view, and it has also improved the experience of our contractors. They can check their contracts, see contract details, request time off and vacations, and view their monthly payment details. It has improved the overall employee experience for us and made our life simpler regarding people and culture.

We have received feedback indicating that before Deel, contractors did not know what was paid or when it would be paid, and the money took too long to be received. With Deel, they can access the platform, check the payment date, view payment details, and see the workflow it has, which has definitely improved their employee experience, and we have received positive comments about that.

Deel has a lot of features, but I am not sure if we have been using it to its full potential. Some features are paid, and I understand that is how it works as a SaaS platform. It could be improved by having someone more in touch with clients to understand our current needs concerning feedback, one-on-one meetings, and to know about the tools we are not using yet and how Deel can solve other issues that we currently face in the company.

The interface and support have been great. We have been able to receive the help we need. Pricing could be a little more affordable for smaller companies, so that is a comment I can leave.

We have been using Deel for over three years.

Deel is a very stable tool that is easy to use and implement.

I am confident that Deel can follow us as we grow because it has done so. I have not noticed any challenges regarding the use of the tool as we scale up, so I am confident we can continue using Deel as we grow.

Customer support has been good and fast when I have needed it. A few days were required to resolve an issue I had where I was not receiving email notifications, but the support team was always attentive and following up. It took us three days to resolve it, but they were very supportive and engaged throughout the process.

We migrated from On top. The main reason for switching was that money was taking too long to be received. The previous tool took too long to credit money to employee accounts, while Deel is much faster for that. Additionally, Deel allows us to pay in local currency, which was not available with the previous tool.

Deel was very easy to set up initially, so we did not need to involve the technical team or any other experts. We were able to connect it and start using it right away.

Deel has saved us time, though I am not sure how to put that in exact numbers. The people and culture team does not have to answer questions about what was paid or when it will be paid, and employees can resolve some doubts themselves. Time has definitely been saved, but I cannot provide an exact number.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing has been good. Implementation was very easy. For pricing, we got the basic plan, which covers managing contracts and payments, and that has been acceptable for us so far regarding pricing and fees.

I would rate Deel a nine out of ten. I did not give it a perfect score because I do not think we are using it at its full potential. That may be due to pricing and our budgetary constraints, which limit how much we could use it, but I am not certain about that.

It is important to be aware of the costs. I am not sure if it is accessible to everyone, since the fee can be a little higher than other tools. However, if you want to invest in something that will work and solve your problems, I recommend it. I also see that Deel is growing in development, introducing new tools and products on their platform, which I appreciate because they continue looking for new solutions for our market. Overall, I would rate my experience with Deel as a nine out of ten.

My main use case for Deel is to process payroll and EOR, which are employment of record employees in countries that we typically don't operate.

A specific example of how I've used Deel for EOR or payroll is that it's a platform that we use for paying our employees on time and running payroll, vacation time, and related functions.

Deel is a great platform for us, though it is a bit costly.

The best features Deel offers are that it is easy to use and their support team is very responsive.

What makes Deel easy to use is that it is really intuitive. You get a lot of notifications when there is an action needed to be made. There are a lot of cool UI features where you get a lot of information if something changes. For example, month-to-month, when you see the invoice, there is a small indication whether the amount you need to pay has gone up or gone down, and it gives you a full breakdown of why and what changed and what specific part of the cost increased. This is really useful in terms of data and understanding what you are paying for and why.

Deel has positively impacted my organization by making it easy for me to run payroll and manage EOR employees.

I think Deel can be improved as it is a bit costly. Perhaps making it cheaper would be beneficial.

Otherwise, Deel is very intuitive.

I have been using Deel for three to four years.

The best features Deel offers are that it is easy to use and their support team is very responsive.

My advice to others looking into using Deel is to look for promotions and negotiate the price to make sure you are getting the best deal. I would rate this product an 8 out of 10.

My main use case for Deel involves the Engage and contractor module, as well as EOR across different countries. I currently handle contractor data and complex EOR arrangements, and the platform itself provides a single intuitive source of truth that keeps us compliant without the usual friction of managing multiple jurisdictions. It is quite rare to find a tool that handles both the legal complexities of global hiring and the human resources function so effectively in one place.

I consider Deel HRIS to be a powerhouse for global scaling, and there is definitely room for the platform to mature, especially within the Engage and Performance modules. I am also using the Performance module, and the standout feature for me is the onboarding module within Engage. The ability to build and customize a bespoke program from scratch has allowed me to create a seamless and culture-first experience that goes far beyond simple document collection. In addition to that, I also use Deel IT, which is enabling me to ship fast laptops that are already pre-configured, so people who join CNA can start on day one with everything prepared and set up for them.

The best features Deel offers include Deel Engage, the super-fast payment for contractors, and Deel IT. Deel Engage has been useful to roll out, as I used Deel Engage to roll out my first performance review, a 360 performance review, and it has been a great success. Since then I have been using it to run engagement surveys, which is fantastic because it is very consistent. I run it every quarter, and it gives me really accurate data. Deel helps to break it down and analyze it, so it has been very useful.

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. Everything is seamless, and there are no complaints from anybody about the platform or any processes that I run through the platform. The simplicity and lack of stress associated with managing HRIS is the most important aspect.

While Deel is a great tool, there is definitely room for improvements. I believe the Performance module should be upgraded to support diverse input types such as multi-select checklists or rank-order questions with conditional logic, rather than just basic scales and paragraphs, because that approach would allow for more objective and data-driven competency mapping across global teams.

I have been using Deel for just over a year.

Deel is stable.

Deel's scalability is great, as it seems to be rolling out a lot of new features without overloading me with information, and it definitely is helping me scale, especially with the onboarding module.

The customer support at Deel is great, as I have a fantastic dedicated CSM, and I also receive very quick responses through the Slack channel, which is very useful. I think a lot of Deel's competitors are missing that feature of being able to communicate on Slack.

Before Deel, I used Rippling, and I switched to Deel because it is a global-first platform that allows me to manage complex international workforce without the mandatory platform lock-in or heavy domestic migration required by Rippling.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing has been pretty good, as I actually moved away from another provider. I had a great team at Deel who was managing the cost side of things and the setup.

Since using Deel, I have definitely seen time saved in terms of the administrative side of things, as it is an all-in-one platform that helps me with rolling out engagement surveys, performance reviews, and contractors and EOR payments.

I did evaluate other options before choosing Deel, and one of the solutions I looked at was Remote.

I would advise others looking into using Deel that if you are a company hiring across multiple countries and continents with complex payroll and payment and compliance needs, then Deel is definitely a platform for you. If you are looking to have an all-in-one platform that helps you manage everything, then Deel is definitely for you, and I would recommend it for small to medium-sized businesses. I would rate this review an 8 out of 10.

My main use case for Deel involves all the HR processes such as onboarding, offboarding, employee cycle, invoices, and payroll, all of which are very helpful.

For example, when it comes to payroll, everything is on the platform, providing great visibility for the company and the employee. I use expenses reimbursement with Deel for everything.

The best features that Deel offers include the website and the support.

What stands out about Deel's website for me is its accessibility.

Deel has positively impacted my organization as it is very important for us to work with Deel because we are still too small to open an entity in the United States, making it an amazing option to continue working with our United States employees. This has been incredibly helpful.

Deel has helped my company by making things easier for my team. The processes are very smooth and very informative, so the onboarding and all the processes take very little time.

Regarding how Deel can be improved, it is a good question because I feel that Deel performs absolutely well.

I have no specific suggestions that could make my experience with Deel even better. I would encourage Deel to continue being great.

I have been using Deel in this company for about a year, and I am really happy with Deel's support. My experience has been great.

Deel works reliably for me, and I do not experience any outages, bugs, or issues. It is pretty consistent.

I believe that Deel's scalability is good and think it will grow well with my company as we expand.

Deel's support is amazing; they are very helpful and very nice. If I have a question or a concern, everything resolves in the same day, which is very important for me because we are based in Israel and face different timelines with our employees in the United States. For me, it is very important to give our employees quick support.

The customer support I have experienced with Deel has been amazing and is the best ever.

I did not previously use a different solution before Deel.

I prefer not to discuss how Deel is deployed in my organization.

My experience with Deel's pricing, setup cost, and licensing has been really great. The pricing is fair, and I have already received a discount from my investors, so everything was very good.

I have not seen money saved but have saved time, especially my own time, because the processes are smooth.

My experience with Deel's pricing, setup cost, and licensing has been really great. The pricing is fair, and I have already received a discount from my investors, so everything was very good.

I evaluated other options before choosing Deel but prefer not to discuss this. However, Deel was the best solution for my company needs.

My advice for others looking into using Deel is to check the platform as it is amazing, especially for small companies. I would rate my overall experience with Deel a 9 out of 10.
