Why so many updates??. Why is this app constantly having so many updates? And at the same time they don’t provide any details as to what they are doing new. They just say “it’s a lot of updates”. If I am using the app, I deserve to know what the updates are. At the same time, it’...

HR migration to Deel. Our company just switched to using deel this year for payroll and it’s not straight forward at all. You’d think changing tax withholding would be easy but nope. Also the app is full of latency everytime you log on. It’s not smooth. Takes several seconds/min ...

The worst support and functionality in the industry.. If you don’t care about customer support and ease of use, this is the platform for you. Good luck getting a simple issue resolved. I simply want to deposit a specific dollar amount in a designated account. Seems simple enough....

Public discussion around Deel over the past four weeks has been modest in volume, with 21 total mentions, and has leaned negative overall. The dominant thread running through commentary was a sense of missing or incomplete functionality, which accounted for the single largest cluster of complaints. UI concerns formed a secondary but consistent undercurrent, with several mentions suggesting that navigating the product feels cumbersome or unintuitive. Privacy concerns and bug reports appeared in smaller numbers but carried a notably sharp tone where they surfaced, indicating that when those issues came up, commenters expressed them with some urgency.

Praise existed but was relatively thin. Feature requests appearing on both the positive and negative sides of the ledger pointed to a segment of discussion where commenters expressed cautious optimism about the product's direction while still feeling underserved by the current state. A handful of mentions flagged integration quality and performance in favorable terms, suggesting pockets of genuine satisfaction that kept the conversation from tilting entirely critical.

The score trajectory across the window was notably erratic rather than trending cleanly in either direction. Discussion suggested sharp swings week to week, with sentiment climbing and then dropping in alternating fashion. The heaviest concentration of mentions landed in early July, and that cluster pulled the overall pulse toward the low-to-mid range. More recent weeks showed a slight uptick in tone, though the sample sizes for those periods were small enough that the recovery reads as tentative rather than sustained.

Opinion was divided most visibly around feature gaps, where some commenters framed missing capabilities as dealbreakers while others appeared content to submit feature requests in a hopeful register. The UI complaints were less divided and more uniformly frustrated in tone.
