All-Encompassing Solution for those who can live without a "White Glove" Payroll Experience

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: Overall positive, I prefer ADP over the 2 other payroll systems I've used, and the price is fair as well.

Pros:

Ease of processing payroll, and ability to contact customer service regularly to get custom reporting and resolve issues.

Cons:

Some solutions to issues are not obvious at all in the platform, and the only way to really learn is by talking with an ADP employee, and then learning it for next time. This can be a time-sink sometimes for smaller issues.

Review of ADP Comp Services

5.0 7 months ago

Comments: I enjoy ADP Comprehensive Services, but I wish you would consider getting more specialized in Government Contracting. I had to spend a lot of time working to customize the system for government compliance. It would be better if you had teams with specific experience in government contracting in HR and compliance.

Pros:

Everything I need is in one system and it is easy to understand once you take the time to learn the system.

Cons:

Setting it up and implementing the system. IT could be much easier. Implementation was not what I initially expected, it wasted a lot of time because it was not useful. You need to work out a way to go through implementation where it is not just about showing you what you can do, you should build in the time to actually set up and build the system.

ADP Comp Services - SRM

3.0 6 months ago

Comments: My overall experience with ADP is good. While it does have its challenges every system does. Overall, it works well for our company.

Pros:

I like the convenience of having everything in one place.

Cons:

I feel like the service team is hit or miss. Sometimes it feels like if you called in three times back-to-back you would get three different answers.

IMI Norgren LLC

4.0 6 months ago

Comments: Overall, the service has been good and worth the extra money. As our team has improved and become certified, I am beginning to feel that we have outgrown this product

Pros:

IMI contracted with comp services in 2016. With a small and inexperienced payroll group, we relied on our ADP service team to help us complete payrolls and stay in compliance

Cons:

the service/product is dependent on the talent level of your team. When we have had low talent, things did not go well. when talent gets better our service improves

ADP Comprehensive Services

3.0 7 months ago

Comments: While the service addresses many essential HR needs, there are areas that need improvement. Overall I I am comfortable using the system.

Pros:

What I liked most about ADP Comprehensive Services was its integration of various HR functions into one platform, which helps simplify tasks. Customer support is generally responsive.

Cons:

What I liked least about ADP Comprehensive Services was the disruption caused during the implementation phase. While changes were made in the background, our team was not notified, leading to interruptions in our daily operations. When we inquired about these disruptions, there was a lack of accountability and communication.

Great service for all payroll and HR needs for small and large companies alike

5.0 6 months ago

Comments: Overall our experience with Comprehensive Services is very good. There is plenty of support and a wealth of information we have access to. Everybody at ADP is working hard to give the support we need and most smaller issues that come up are not disrupting our operation.

Pros:

It offers the full package for Payroll and HR services with almost unlimited options of tailoring to the companies needs. It works well when everything is set up and makes payroll and HR much easier to manage

Cons:

It is sometimes time consuming and a lengthier process to solve problems and find/fix the reasons behind some calculation errors or other issues that randomly appear.

Wonderful product, always improving!

5.0 6 months ago

Comments: As someone who came into a role with no instruction on ADP, I have found it very easy to get help with a simple phone call or to submit a case. The team is very responsive and makes sure follow up happens.

Pros:

I like that ADP is always improving. They take feedback and turn it into new products and processes.

Cons:

Sometimes I find it hard to find guides and support for certain processes without reaching out to a live person.

Great product for the most part

4.0 7 months ago

Pros:

- Streamlined service including payroll, recruitment, employee documents, timekeeping, time off, benefits - Easy to use - User-friendly for employees - Custom reporting

Cons:

- Price is high compared to other vendors and seems to increase often, while sometimes the services or quality of responses does not increase accordingly - Sometimes the outages can be very disruptive without much follow up directly from ADP, customers have to try to find their own info to pass along.

Comments: The analytics and reporting tools offered by ADP are valuable for making informed decisions

Pros:

ADP has a strong focus on compliance, helping businesses stay up-to-date with changing laws and regulations, which is especially critical for companies operating in multiple jurisdictions. The platform provides robust analytics and reporting features, enabling businesses to make data-driven decisions regarding their workforce.

Cons:

The benefits platform, we have experienced challenges with data synchronization and compatibility with certain third-party applications. Customer support response times can be slow, particularly for complex issues, which can be challenging when immediate assistance is needed.

Great payroll processing.

5.0 last year

Comments: I liked the service very much. I have been with ADP on and off for over 30 years in one job or another and have always had great service. And when I look for a new position, the first question I ask is " who do you use to process the payroll".

Pros:

I usually could speak with my representative and if he didn't know or have the answer, he got me assistance. And the fact I could speak with someone after hours if I had an issue.

Cons:

The tax services need to provide more information when responding to a tax issue when they tell you they can't handle it.
