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.

Global payroll has become compliant and remote offboarding is now seamless for our lean team

I cannot think of anything to improve off the top of my head. It is not the cheapest solution out there, but I think they have every right to charge a bit of a premium because it is a premium service. It is not particularly more expensive than other options. Of course, it is more expensive than doing it in-house, but it works well, and you need it to work. I cannot really think of anything which I feel is lacking right now. German compliance and German payroll are complicated. We have run into some issues before, but I struggle to say if this is really Deel-related or if it is just the general issues with the system. Deel has always been very helpful in sorting it out.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the reporting feature as it allows me to generate reports independently without relying on a payroll consultant."

"The product is good, user-friendly, and effective."

"The product allows you to create and manage shared services centrally even in small countries."

"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."

"The ability to have one reporting for all countries is valuable."

"They are very strong in terms of having a central regional system. A regional person can see and monitor the calendar for each different country."

"The most valuable feature was that everything was in one system."

"Deel has positively impacted my organization as it is not only a good price point for startups, but it is also very startup-friendly."

"After using Deel, I can manage different payouts across different countries instantly, saving a lot of time, reducing headaches, and minimizing the efforts of human resources."

"If you want something easy that is incredibly flexible for a globally distributed workforce, Deel is the one for you."

"The best features Deel offers are its core product offering that enables us to work with people in countries where we don't have an entity, which has really opened the doors to global talent for us that we wouldn't have been able to access otherwise and enabled us to do this legally and compliantly."

"Deel has positively impacted my organization by providing a more comprehensive solution."

"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 by making it easier to find the best talent in the world, no matter where they may be."

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

More Deel pros

Cons

"The reporting tool could be improved as it currently is just a data dump and much manipulation is required."

"They could improve the service relationship manager (SRM), because they have an SRM which is not familiar with Simple."

"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."

"We had to scrap plans to integrate Brazil because it was not doable."

"I think there is a need for a deeper level of comprehension."

"Having more clear guidance on design and training would be beneficial."

"The UI could be improved to be a bit more modern or trendy because it looks old-fashioned compared to other systems."

"The product is not quite up to our expectations."

"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."

"Pay attention to and review the service catalog since some services may come at an additional price."

"Another bit of an issue is that there is quite a bit of a lock-in period for a lot of it."

"For the background check process, Deel usually states that once the new hire completes all required forms, the report will be available in approximately ten days; however, the process usually goes beyond that timeframe."

"Deel can be improved on costing, such as being more transparent from day one."

"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."

"I think Deel can be improved as it is a bit costly."

"Deel is a very big system and sometimes it becomes a bit too big."
