Global hiring and payroll have become streamlined and now support compliant contractor management
Pros and Cons
  • "Overall, Deel has been a very valuable tool when it comes to managing global teams; it stands out in simplifying international hiring and payroll, especially with its compliance and automation features."
  • "One of the things that I would suggest for Deel to improve is its user interface and navigation because there are times that it can be overwhelming, especially to new users."

What is our primary use case?

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.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Deel for over a year now.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Deel is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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

How are customer service and support?

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.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

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.

How was the initial setup?

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.

What was our ROI?

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.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

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.

What other advice do I have?

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.

Global payroll has become more automated and now supports leaner teams across regions
Pros and Cons
  • "The best features Deel offers include a very user-friendly system as far as the platform itself, and the customer service is really great."
  • "Deel can be improved, especially since their reporting is not the greatest."

What is our primary use case?

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.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Deel for roughly over six years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Deel is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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

How are customer service and support?

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

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

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

How was the initial setup?

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.

What was our ROI?

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.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

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

What other advice do I have?

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.

Platform has simplified global contractor management and has improved payment transparency
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "Pricing could be a little more affordable for smaller companies, so that is a comment I can leave."

What is our primary use case?

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.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Deel for over three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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.

How are customer service and support?

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.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

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.

How was the initial setup?

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.

What was our ROI?

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.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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.

What other advice do I have?

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.

Intuitive payroll platform has enabled smooth global EOR management and timely payments
Pros and Cons
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

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.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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

Otherwise, Deel is very intuitive.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Deel for three to four years.

How are customer service and support?

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

What other advice do I have?

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.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Global hiring has become seamless and now manages onboarding, compliance, and performance reviews
Pros and Cons
  • "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."

    What is our primary use case?

    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.

    What is most valuable?

    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.

    What needs improvement?

    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.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Deel for just over a year.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Deel is stable.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    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.

    How are customer service and support?

    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.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    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.

    How was the initial setup?

    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.

    What was our ROI?

    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.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

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

    What other advice do I have?

    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.

    Global HR processes have become streamlined and support provides fast help across time zones
    Pros and Cons
    • "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."

      What is our primary use case?

      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.

      What is most valuable?

      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.

      What needs improvement?

      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.

      For how long have I used the solution?

      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.

      What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

      What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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

      How are customer service and support?

      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.

      Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

      I did not previously use a different solution before Deel.

      How was the initial setup?

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

      What about the implementation team?

      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.

      What was our ROI?

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

      What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

      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.

      Which other solutions did I evaluate?

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

      What other advice do I have?

      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.

      Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

      Global employment tools have enabled seamless hiring abroad and crypto-based salary payments
      Pros and Cons
      • "Deel has had a positive impact on my organization by providing noticeable time savings in the ability to establish myself abroad by making the operation almost painless in terms of time invested."
      • "Regarding pricing, installation costs, and license management with Deel, I find that it is still expensive, but at the same time these are market prices, so I understand the logic."

      What is our primary use case?

      I have been using Deel's tools for exactly one year, in particular the Employer of Record feature to be employed in Sweden as part of our international development. My main use case for Deel is the Employer of Record, which enables me to employ myself in Sweden. This is a very useful and effective feature for accomplishing that.

      What is most valuable?

      One of Deel's major strengths is the ability to pay in cryptocurrency, especially in the USDC stablecoin, because our company works in this sector. Both from a technical and ideological standpoint, that was a key criterion for us.

      Deel's best features are the extremely smooth Employer of Record system and a very smooth app and interface, where I can find everything I want. The tools are very efficient and the ability to pay in USDC stablecoin is invaluable.

      The smoothness of the interfaces and the management of payment in stablecoin provides noticeable time savings by having a good interface and features that I can easily find. It essentially saves time by spending less time on administrative tasks thanks to these tools.

      Deel has had a positive impact on my organization by providing noticeable time savings in the ability to establish myself abroad by making the operation almost painless in terms of time invested. Without going through Deel, it would have been extremely complicated. The ability to establish myself abroad without major difficulty is the notable impact.

      This time saving helps accelerate my international development.

      What needs improvement?

      A minor point that could be optimized would be the speed of the interfaces and the application, for it to be even faster than today and more fluid.

      For how long have I used the solution?

      I have been working in this field for almost ten years.

      What do I think about the stability of the solution?

      Deel seems stable to me in my daily use, with no issues to report.

      What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

      I assess the scalability of Deel as very scalable indeed, and that is what is interesting. It shows that in the context of development, there is potential to grow thanks to it.

      How are customer service and support?

      I have called on Deel's customer support a few times, and I have always found answers to my questions. They are quite responsive, notably via the account manager.

      Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

      I did not use another solution before using Deel.

      How was the initial setup?

      Deel is deployed in my organization using the cloud.

      What about the implementation team?

      I use Deel on their website, that is all, so I do not see the connection with the cloud.

      What was our ROI?

      I have not seen a return on investment with Deel for the moment, as I do not have any figures; it has only been a year, so I will have that feedback later.

      What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

      Regarding pricing, installation costs, and license management with Deel, I find that it is still expensive, but at the same time these are market prices, so I understand the logic.

      Which other solutions did I evaluate?

      I evaluated other options and competitors before choosing Deel, but I do not remember the names, and Deel came out as the best solution.

      What other advice do I have?

      The service is almost perfect for the way I am using it at the moment, so I do not necessarily have any points to flag. I would give Deel a rating of nine out of ten. I am satisfied with Deel, I find everything I want, it is effective. For me, it is a ten, and there is nothing to complain about. My advice to a company that is considering adopting Deel is to try it.

      Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

      Streamlined global payroll and onboarding have saved time and now support accurate payouts
      Pros and Cons
      • "Deel has positively impacted my organization by providing a more comprehensive solution."
      • "The risk assessment process could be improved because, as a billing manager on a contractual agreement, I was flagged as high risk during onboarding, and it took several months to resolve with limited transparency and guidance on how to address the issue."

      What is our primary use case?

      My primary use case for Deel is payroll management and streamlined employee onboarding.

      For payroll management, I track hours and then receive payment after two weeks or every other cutoff. After work hours get approved, the system generates an invoice, and employees can withdraw their earnings after receiving confirmation that payroll has been approved and added to the Deel balance.

      Beyond payroll management and employee onboarding, I utilize background checks as well.

      What is most valuable?

      The best features Deel offers are the payroll processing and how easy it is to track hours, then approve those work hours, review them, approve, and then invoice and process payroll. It is very efficient, really very accurate, and less time-consuming.

      What is really helpful is that, unlike the platforms I have used before, Deel is error-proof. There are fewer chances of mistakes because everything is streamlined on Deel. Employees track their time, and then managers or HR can check the logged work hours and approve them, and it automatically gets invoiced. When the cutoff is reached, payroll or payout is processed very easily.

      Deel has positively impacted my organization by providing a more comprehensive solution. I previously used about three different platforms before I eventually settled with Deel. Managing payroll manually across employees in multiple countries was very time-consuming and prone to errors, but Deel automated payroll processing, invoicing, and onboarding, significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of my workflow.

      As a billing manager who had to manually track hours and process payroll for each employee based all over the globe, I significantly saved a lot of time and was able to focus on more demanding or urgent tasks with the time I saved from payroll processing.

      What needs improvement?

      The risk assessment process could be improved because, as a billing manager on a contractual agreement, I was flagged as high risk during onboarding, and it took several months to resolve with limited transparency and guidance on how to address the issue. The resolution ultimately required adjusting my job title, which highlights the need for clearer criteria and more proactive support during risk evaluations.

      For how long have I used the solution?

      I have been using Deel for about a year now.

      What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

      Deel's scalability has been exceptional in handling my growing needs as my organization expands. I have onboarded a lot of people since I started using Deel, so it is really very useful in terms of adding more employees, onboarding, and processing more payroll.

      How are customer service and support?

      Customer support has been excellent. Response times are fast, and the live chat feature is particularly helpful for resolving issues quickly and assessing real-time assistance directly within the platform.

      How was the initial setup?

      My experience with the initial setup and implementation of Deel was smooth other than the issue I encountered with the risk assessment process during my onboarding as a billing manager on a contractual agreement. I initially piloted the platform before transitioning the entire team to enable more seamless and efficient payout processing, though I expected it could take months to completely resolve any issues and fully onboard.

      Which other solutions did I evaluate?

      Key factors that led my organization to choose Deel over other solutions include that it is very easy to onboard employees regardless of which countries they are based in, including India, Pakistan, Philippines, Vietnam, and even countries from Greece. I was looking for something that could help process payroll and help streamline my workflow or processes, so Deel was really the best for my business needs, and I have been using it since.

      What other advice do I have?

      My advice to others looking into using Deel is that from an employee perspective, it offers a very user-friendly experience. Features such as easy withdrawals, document signing, leave requests, time tracking, slip access, and proof of employment are all highly convenient. From a managerial standpoint, it is an efficient and reliable tool for handling payroll at scale.

      Deel integrates with my existing systems or software with no challenges at this time. Previously, everything was manually tracked and saved in a folder, but with Deel, I just have to upload documents, and employees can easily sign agreements or documents on Deel, making it very useful.

      I rate this review a 9 out of 10.

      Global hiring has become confident and payroll management is now fully centralized
      Pros and Cons
      • "Deel has positively impacted our organization by enabling us to hire globally, specifically where we do not have entities, with the Employer of Record option, allowing us to confidently bring on contractors outside of countries where we do not have entities, with less worry about compliance risk."
      • "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."

      What is our primary use case?

      Deel is our primary HRIS for managing our global workforce, enabling us to process payroll globally, hire employees in locations where we don’t have entities through Employer of Record, and onboard contractors confidently with their Contractor of Record services.

      How has it helped my organization?

      Previously, payroll ran through six different providers with minimal visibility, and employee information was tracked in spreadsheets. Today, we fully own payroll, operate a centralized HRIS, and hire with confidence while enjoying complete transparency and control over our global team thanks to Deel.

      What is most valuable?

      The best features Deel offers include its streamlined payroll process. Payroll is particularly easy to manage. I process payroll by myself for three different entities, and the system makes it very efficient.

      I also value the Compliance Hub. I’m learning more each day, and it flags compliance updates for the countries we operate in, which gives me confidence that we’re always aligned with local regulations.

      Deel has had a significant impact on our organization by enabling us to hire globally. The Employer of Record feature allows us to hire employees in countries where we don’t have entities, while the Contractor of Record feature makes onboarding contractors easy and reduces compliance headaches.

      What needs improvement?

      I have encountered a few challenges with the Employer of Record aspect, mainly limited visibility into employee pay. A pay approval feature before generating final invoices would be helpful. Our primary pay-related issues have occurred during offboarding and when navigating leave of absence or true-up pay.

      On the reporting side, Deel has made significant improvements. However, reporting remains challenging because we manage Contractors, Employer of Record employees, and global payroll employees. Being able to generate a single pay report for all three employee types would be extremely valuable and is currently my biggest challenge with Deel.

      For how long have I used the solution?

      We have been using Deel for the last two years.

      How are customer service and support?

      I have had a wonderful experience with Deel’s customer support. From implementation, we had a dedicated implementation specialist, and we continue to work with a wonderful customer success manager. We meet monthly and the in-platform support feature makes it easy to connect directly with support. Overall, their support has been exceptional.

      Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

      Before Deel, our global payroll was managed across multiple providers. We switched to Deel to have a consolidated, centralized HRIS system for our global workforce.

      Which other solutions did I evaluate?

      We evaluated other options before choosing Deel, including Rippling, which we ruled out because they couldn’t provide global payroll in a country where we have an entity. We also explored Multiplier but ultimately chose Deel due to the quality of conversations, the solutions they offered, and the overall better experience.

      What other advice do I have?

      9 - My advice for others considering Deel is to confirm that it meets all your needs and to speak with other users about their experiences with the platform.

      Global payroll has become streamlined and onboarding now supports contractors and EOR hiring
      Pros and Cons
      • "Everybody loves Deel. It is easier for us to track timesheets of our contractors, and I have been receiving a lot of positive feedback from the contractors that Deel is pretty easy to navigate and very user-friendly for them."
      • "I think Deel could improve by making the platform more customizable and expanding coverage to more immigration policies, such as Singapore."

      What is our primary use case?

      This is for global payroll and onboarding. As we expanded, Deel helped streamline our process, making it far more efficient. We were also able to begin hiring through employer of record services, which significantly improved and simplified our onboarding experience.

      What is most valuable?

      I think the payroll itself is the most valuable feature because we used to work on Excel spreadsheets to track payments for contractors worldwide. When we implemented Deel into our system, it became far more efficient for us to pay our contractors, track the payments, see invoices, and provide documentation and verification letters for our contractors worldwide.

      We had been doing manual payroll before, and now everything is smoother and consolidated on Deel. We simply need to input all the information, details, and the rate for each contractor, and provide details for our EORs for Deel to process it. The payroll process is significantly smoother compared to using Excel sheets. Since we are still exploring the platform, I do not have additional features to comment on at this time.

      What needs improvement?

      I think Deel could improve by making the platform more customizable and expanding coverage to more immigration policies, such as Singapore. We currently worked with a customer service manager at Deel as we were supposed to onboard an EOR from Singapore. However, there were limitations from Deel itself regarding how they manage the payroll system and the onboarding system in Singapore. I hope Deel could expand to provide more services in countries with very strict immigration policies or laws for EORs.

      For how long have I used the solution?

      I have been using Deel for three years.

      What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

      I am not certain of Deel's scalability at the moment. The main admin of our Deel account and the person who can see that information is our CFO. I do not have a specific answer to that question yet.

      How are customer service and support?

      Deel's customer support is very fast and efficient. They respond to our queries right away and we are able to get answers within minutes. They are easier to communicate with and will set up a meeting as soon as they can to resolve our issues right away.

      Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

      We were using ADP for our US employees, but it did not work for us since it was complicated and only provided limited features of what we actually needed. They only offered payroll benefits and similar services. With Deel, everything is available. We have EORs, contractors, US employees, and all the full-time employees that we have. That is why we switched from ADP to Deel.

      What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

      Deel's pricing is very suitable for the features that we currently have. I know that there will be additional pricing for some features we wanted to add, for example, for laptop equipment if we wanted Deel to handle it themselves. However, the price is very reasonable, and the setup cost as well as the licensing really fit how Deel provides their services to our organization's needs.

      What other advice do I have?

      Make sure to know the needs of your company and what your employees need apart from the organization. Conduct extensive research, do trials, connect with your customer service manager, and explore the features of the product so you can determine what features you might need from Deel and ensure everything will be customizable.

      Time savings is a significant benefit. We used to work on spreadsheets for approximately two hours to double-check information of our employees, their rates, and payments, and we created formulas to track amounts and numbers. With Deel, we can finish everything in about fifteen minutes and approve timesheets far more easily and quickly compared to when we had a small number of employees and were only using Excel spreadsheets.

      Everybody loves Deel. It is easier for us to track timesheets of our contractors, and I have been receiving a lot of positive feedback from the contractors that Deel is pretty easy to navigate and very user-friendly for them. They are able to get their invoices and download them on time. They receive their payment on time and are able to get verification letters on time when they need them. They are hoping to see more features on Deel in the future and what we can offer. We are looking into health benefits for some contractors. We are also able to track our payments for all the contractors that we pay every month.

      We are trying to integrate Deel into our communication channel, which is Slack. We tried to provide engagement events that will automatically be posted in our Slack channels. We are currently working on customizing the process for providing notifications of special events from our contractors to notify everyone in our Slack. I would rate this review a nine out of ten.
