There support is excellemt ----- ### "Reveiw" — 5.0/5 > **Rose** | *31 August 2021* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The customer service is very important. Software allows multi states. > > **Cons**: The time it took to learn Crystal reports and the system files. > > Very please with software and customer support. ----- ### "The site needs correction immediately" — 1.0/5 > **Ashley** | *7 January 2025* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: I guess the different images you can click on to get where you want. > > **Cons**: I can’t see my paystubs correctly (discount drug mart) my name no longer appears with my paystubs\! I can’t find previous paystubs. It’s all bad honestly. Someone needs to fix it asap\! > > Not happy honestly. Extremely frustrating ----- ### "Been a customer for over 20 years and extremely satisfied with the product" — 5.0/5 > **Barbara** | *6 December 2021* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: PDS/Vista is on top of the ever changing HR/Payroll world. We love the fact that we can customize the application as we need to. The employees love the easy to use Open Enrollment feature and that they can view their accruals/pay stubs with one click. PDS/Vista customer support is the BEST in the business\! > > **Cons**: Some of the programs are still in COBOL but PDS is working to rewrite them. > > PDS/Vista has been an incredible vendor to work with. My manager told me that she wished all of our other vendors were as attentive to the customer and as easy to work with as PDS is. ----- ### "Vista 7 is a hit with employees" — 4.0/5 > **Wendy** | *25 October 2018* | Public Policy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We upgraded to the Vista 7 platform in September after being on PDS Vista for 9 years. The new version is a lot more intuitive and our self-service employees love the icons instead of drop downs for finding their information. As a payroll user I like that there is more information on each tab, a lot less clicking. I also like that all the payroll processes, reports and timesheets are in one pop up box. > > **Cons**: Some of the things that used to work fine in 4.1 don't work in 7. I like that there is more screen print buttons added , but they only print the screen showing, not all the information on the page if you have to scroll down. It kind of defeats the purpose when it doesn't print all the information. Also when using the timesheet to add deduction or fringe adjustments that apply only for the specific pay period it doesn't stay on the same tab when changing employees. > > Overall we have been happy with the Vista 7 upgrade. I look forward to seeing what the payroll change will bring. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/8671/vistahrms?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/8671/vistahrms) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
