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

"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."
"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."
"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 advantage was that ADP Streamline was inherently designed to serve as a marketing engine for the company."
"Now that we have everything automatically in Deel, we save a lot of time, and we can have someone ready to work with us in about a day."
"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."
"Deel has positively impacted my organization by optimizing manual processes, manual analysis, and generating payroll."
"Deel has positively impacted my organization as it is not only a good price point for startups, but it is also very startup-friendly."
"I highly recommend Deel as a tool; the tool itself is great, it is easy to use, and on top of that, you get an excellent team of highly qualified people who will support you throughout the entire process."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"The reporting tool could be improved as it currently is just a data dump and much manipulation is required."
"The UI could be improved to be a bit more modern or trendy because it looks old-fashioned compared to other systems."
"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."
"Having more clear guidance on design and training would be beneficial."
"The product is not quite up to our expectations."
"I think there is a need for a deeper level of comprehension."
"Deel needs to work on their customer service and reach out."
"I think Deel can be improved with quicker support when we open email requests."
"Another bit of an issue is that there is quite a bit of a lock-in period for a lot of it."
"Pay attention to and review the service catalog since some services may come at an additional price."
"I find that the visa processes are lengthy. I understand this is the case everywhere, but I would appreciate improvements."
"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."
"During all these months, I have not been able to solve the issue of invoicing on time, since I have also done it in an outsourced way locally with Let's Deel Colombia."
"Pricing could be a little more affordable for smaller companies, so that is a comment I can leave."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our company had a standardized pricing model based on the number of employees."
"The amount we pay is not low, and it is not high. It is average."
