Decent but customer service lacks

What differentiates Paylocity from other similar products?
The variety of modules within Paylocity make it a nice "one stop shop". In theory having one system for Payroll and HRIS is good, but in practicality there are many hiccups we run into. The single sign on has been great for our employees as well.
