It's very refreshing to see when we're able to directly impact the software we're using on a regular basis. > > **Cons**: Knit is constantly working on improving its platform. There are a few features we've wanting to be implemented for the last year (better ROE management, tighter reporting, better dashboard, etc.) so we're excited to see these features up and running soon. > > Dealing with Knit has been super easy from the beginning. They do set a high standard when it comes to customer service, that I've always appreciated. ----- ### "Knit is the all-in-one best payroll platform" — 5.0/5 > **Kaylee** | *20 December 2024* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Knit is ahead of the curve with all things payroll. Not only will they issue T4s and ROEs directly to the appropriate authorities (not available with QuickBooks payroll and many other cloud solutions), but they also allow for flexible billing options to pass on the subscription to the client with the firm discounted pricing\! > > **Cons**: It can be difficult to get a new company verified before payroll services can be started using Knit. The verification process involves the client and relies on them knowing how to use digital ID verification through Plaid which is often a long drawn out process to walk them through and for them to complete, since we cannot do so for them. We would also love a time and attendance tracker that integrates directly in Knit. We have some work arounds with other third-party software, but it isn't perfect. > > Excellent support and great platform. We have moved many clients over from QuickBooks to Knit for the superior experience, customer support, and the platform itself is much more automated than others on the market. ----- ### "Meh...you can do a lot better than Knit" — 2.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *25 July 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Cloud-based, good security, easy to manage employees, ROEs are easy. It does most of the core things you would expect well enough. > > **Cons**: Unreliable support staff. Over promise, under deliver. When you get them engaged they are confident but frequently provide timelines and their own self-imposed deadlines to fix things and they go AWOL. Lots of glitchyness generating reports. Hard to confirm that a payroll will balance before uploading to accounting software. Timeoff management is not good. Cannot get notifications to work. No integration with MS Teams. > > Frustrating\! Also seem to have minimal evolution in their product since I began using it. You would expect new features, improvements to existing ones, etc. Not with Knit. ----- ### "Really solid payroll management system\!" — 5.0/5 > **Nathalie** | *27 December 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked using the system every two weeks to run our payroll, it was more intuitive than other systems I've tried in the past. It was easy to onboard new employees, manage things like reimbursements, and handle automatically sending documents to the CRA. It was easy to track Paid Time Off requests, and my employees could easily get a copy of the documents they needed at the end of the year to do their taxes. It really is a solid solution and it doesn't feel like anything is missing, or like anything is clunky which is really nice if you've ever tried other systems that feel a little more "cobbled" together. > > **Cons**: There were a few sticky points like setting up vacation pay was not as straightforward as it could have been, and once a mistake was made it was hard to fix. But overall, there weren't a lot of problems or issues. > > I'm really happy with Knit and I would recommend it to other small business owners who are looking for an affordable payroll system. I think it covered all of the bases, the support was great when I needed help, and it's been great to be able to use it with more employees over time, too. ----- ### "Great software" — 5.0/5 > **Andrea** | *6 January 2025* | Import & Export | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I find Knit very user friendly. The support team is really easy to reach if there are questions. > > **Cons**: It is hard to get detailed information online with more intricate questions. The FAQ page is pretty basic so you need to email their support team. > > Love working with it. Easy to navigate and onboard new employees. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/327704/knit?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/327704/knit) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
