The Net Emotional Footprint measures high-level user sentiment towards particular product offerings. It aggregates emotional response ratings for various dimensions of the vendor-client relationship and product effectiveness, creating a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and product.
While purchasing decisions shouldn't be based on emotion, it's valuable to know what kind of emotional response the vendor you're considering elicits from their users.

No support, software first
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Gusto from other similar products?
It is a software first company. The pricing is transparent.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Software innovation and transparent pricing.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Gusto does not have any real customer support. They screwed paychecks and screwed up benefits. Given the sensitivity around these items you would expect some type of customer service. But calls went unanswered and unreturned. Tickets were neglected for over a week. Had to call in through the sales extension to talk to someone. No USA based support. Took over a month to get close to resolution. I had to publicly shame them on social media before they would respond to me.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It works great as a basic payroll company for a small business. But the second you start adding benefits or need any outside help from them it becomes useless and destructive to productivity.
Pros
- Friendly Negotiation
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
- Unique Features
Cons
- Less Efficient Service
- Less Effective Service
- Less Caring
