## Reviews

### "GoCo.io delivers" — 4.0/5

> **Daava** | *13 July 2022* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Super easy to use. No more staff griping. I don't have to have a full time administrator. GoCo.io has assembled one of the most responsive an knowledgable teams I have ever dealt with. I was sold on this when I was told they looked at HRIS like a game, it should be something people can figure out. My staff has done just that, and they able to poke through parts and do what they need to do with limited input. &#10;&#10;Their mobile interface is just like the desktop version. The staff is responsive, the implementation manager was superb\! It's weird as an HR manager to be excited about software, but going to GoCo after our last experience was like dealing with a broken down high end sports car that looks nice in the garage, but doesn't go anywhere, to a super reliable truck that just gets the job done.
> 
> **Cons**: It's a newer company, and it has less modules an options, it's what I refer to as "vanilla with sprinkles." That being said, when I set out to select a software, I aimed to get one that had what I needed, and I didn't focus on any nice-to-haves. I don't even miss all the other stuff I used to have, because this delivers on what I need in a fantastic way.
> 
> Fantastic. Seriously, I can't say enough good things about them. I'm excited to see how this company progresses.

### "GoCo" — 4.0/5

> **Katie** | *10 October 2023* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The flexibility and customizable nature of GoCo is nice to have for our company. It was one of the primary things that attracted us to GoCo.
> 
> **Cons**: Some of the systems don't flow well together. I love the Spaces implementation, but it doesn't allow us to have a Performance-related space set up for our lead team to easily access or review performance flows that have been completed. Additionally, there is a struggle on our team for them to grasp how to use workflows. Most has ironed out over  time, but it is still difficult for many to comprehend and use effectively.
> 
> Overall, our company really enjoys GoCo. They have a great response rate for support, and are always ready to jump into action to fix any issues. There are some things I hope to see improve in the future, and I try to participate in their quarterly meetings when they announce changes and look for feedback. They seem to listen to what their clients want, and I know we appreciate it here in our clinic.

### "Worth the Money" — 3.0/5

> **Connie** | *12 February 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It was easy to install and implement.  There wasn't much of a learning curve because it is a pretty intuitive software
> 
> **Cons**: It is a little bit on the expensive side.  However, we were able to justify the cost because it does simplify the onboarding process.
> 
> Our overall experience with Go Co has been a good one and we are happy we made the decision to purchase the software.

### "Great experience with GoCo\!" — 5.0/5

> **Shari** | *11 October 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: GoCo has enabled our company to completely automate processes such as onboarding and performance management. The ability to build workflows keeps us organized and ensures that no task falls through the cracks. Further, the documents feature with electronic signatures makes rolling out new incentive plans, handbooks, and other policies seamless\! We've also gotten a lot of assistance from our client services team who meet with us whenever we need assistance. Having a dedicated success team that we can speak to live makes all the difference.
> 
> **Cons**: While the workflows are great and really a unique feature of GoCo, there is a learning curve involved because customers need to build the workflows themselves. Once we got the hang of it, it was definitely easier and our account management team did hold our hands quite a bit\!There were also some features that were missing e.g., the ability to duplicate documents and workflows, but GoCo has continued to upgrade the platform and has added this functionality\!
> 
> Overall we've had a great experience with GoCo. There were some rocky moments but the team at GoCo has helped us get through and now it's a system that is really interwoven in our daily operations.

### "Great Software & Consistently Awesome Service" — 5.0/5

> **Cassie** | *12 February 2021* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I use GoCo mainly when I need to update our Team Members' profile to make them eligible for benefits within our Company. GoCo makes offering our Team Members benefits and enrolling them into our plans so much easier\!  During open enrollment, not only am I sending our eligible Team Members emails to remind them to enroll in our benefits, but GoCo is also sending them multiple emails so they don't miss their opportunity to take advantage of their potential benefits. It's so refreshing to get rid of all the paperwork and complete everything electronically flawlessly.
> 
> **Cons**: Our company structure is set up a little differently than most.  We have multiple companies under one umbrella company. This makes it a tad bit challenging for GoCo to be able to structure the profile setup, necessary documents, and permissions, but they have turned this into an opportunity to make updates and create additional features.
> 
> We currently meet with our GoCo representative once a month to 'check-in', and have done so since we switched to GoCo years ago.  This says ALOT\!  They want feedback on the good, the bad, and the challenging, and they ALWAYS act on it.  If I have a question that I send to our representative, I have no doubt that I will get a response within an hour.  I've said this before, and I'll say it again, it's so nice to work with company that aligns with our core values. They are definitely a great team that Gives Customers What They Want and Builds Something Special every step of the way\!
