## Reviews

### "These guys make payroll a breeze\!" — 5.0/5

> **Bernadette** | *9 July 2025* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like how many bulk actions there are. I have 362 people on payroll, so being able to approve time in like 10 min the following morning is great. My onboarding specialist \[sensitive content hidden\] and my account rep \[sensitive content hidden\] are seriously the best and have been so dedicated to supporting me through all my set up issues and concerns.
> 
> **Cons**: We struggled with getting the web app to work on kiosk mode with in the building, but the Smart Barrel Kiosks work great and haven’t had any issues since day 1.
> 
> I have rolled out plenty of new platforms and systems, by far Smart Barrels support surpasses all others I have worked with. Honestly, I feel very well trained and fully confident to take the training wheels off and fully transition to smart barrel. I’m extremely satisfied and would recommend this service to anyone looking for an all in one payroll software.
