Best HR Software there is" — 5.0/5 > **Greg** | *28 October 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Gusto is awesome\! Easiest HR system I've used. Super simple and straightforward. Has great workflows. Is so easy to understand and access as a user. > > **Cons**: I honestly don't have any complaints about Gusto. I've had a couple of login issues before, but nothing big stands out. > > I have loved Gusto. I've used almost all of the big payroll/HR systems and Gusto is head and shoulders above the rest. Easy to use, awesome automations, great at gathering feedback, makes sense, and more. ----- ### "10 years plus customer review" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *7 January 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Works really well and is easy to navigate. The onboarding and benefits are streamlined and easy for everyone. My teammates love the app and that they can see everything in one place. > > **Cons**: The customer service can be a little frustrating at times. Sometimes you get someone who understands and is knowledgeable. Sometimes you don't. > > We love it and have been using it for over 10 years. I highly recommend anyone who has to do payroll to use it. Takes the headache out of payroll and HR. ----- ### "Horrible FSA, love the payroll." — 1.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *29 July 2025* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Gusto as a payroll management software/app is very close to a four star. Cute, gets the job done well, nice emails letting you know you paycheck is coming and more. Very easy to use when considering JUST payroll. > > **Cons**: When Gusto incorporated Elevate to run FSA, it has literally been a nightmare\! It's so bad, we don't want to do FSA anymore\! Literally, just this week, we had an issue with a credit card transaction denied from a pharmacy. When we checked with Gusto support (which can only be done by AI or via email if AI starts messing up), it was because a pharmacy was marked as a non-FSA entity. A pharmacy? It was such a mess that what was 100% automated by the doctor and pharmacy, the pharmacy couldn't undo the transaction and was going to send back the prescription. The family had to go in person to the pharmacy, use a different credit card and not be able to use their own FSA money. Then, in Gusto attempting to fix the bug had the audacity to ask for a receipt for the transaction. Really\!\! A receipt for a denied transaction. Before I would ever recommend that great payroll that Gusto has been, they need to either stop doing FSA all together or find a partner that does FSA well. > > Up until the transition to Elevate and processing FSA by Gusto, everything was fine. For some reason, the team at Gusto doesn't get FSA. ----- ### "Gusto is a great Tool" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *19 January 2026* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Gusto is value for money and as a small business I can manage my employees and it is easy to use, with great customer support. > > **Cons**: There was noting I do not like about gusto, it has made my work very manageable and freed up lots of my time > > I love using Gusto it is a great tool for small businesses who what to keep good records and grow professionally ----- ### "Gusto - Highly recommended" — 5.0/5 > **David** | *19 January 2026* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use, great accessibility for needed documents like W-2, paystubs, tax returns, etc. The login is reasonable easy, and it's easy to find the information I need - in particular the tax and paystub information described above, which is often needed for nonbusiness issues as well. > > **Cons**: I've had no negative issues with Gusto. The site is reliable - it has not been down when I've needed it. > > Excellent. I have a small business and it interfaces perfectly with my tax/bookkeeping folks. It suits my personal needs as well, since the information I access is required for non-business needs, including loan and other financial matters. ----- Page: 1 / 168\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/131882/gusto?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/131882/gusto) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
