We also evaluated Tickets at Work - both are highly comparable options, but we went with Access Perks given both their incomparable discount network and mobile coupon program. The Access Perks website is also much easier to use, for both administrators and employees, and offers …

Let's just say ADP TotalSource's sales team is top-notch. They make promises that are, in my experience, just not kept in any shape or form. I would highly recommend Rippling if you are looking for easy to use, modern tech.
Chose ADP TotalSource
ADP Run is great! I would switch back in a heartbeat. It is not a "one stop shop" as far as HR goes - it has payroll, legal, time and attendance, etc. but TotalSource is supposed to also have a benefits component, OSHA/short term disability assistance, etc. but it has not been …
Chose ADP TotalSource
Workforce now is easier to use! TotalSource has a lot of quirks in it that are totally unnecessary. It's as if they took Workforce Now and adding all these different codes and features to call it TotalSource. However, upon logging in, TotalSource looks and operates basically …
Chose ADP TotalSource
[I think that] all other options are about 100X better than ADP TotalSource. [I also think] ADP TotalSource is too comfortable and thinks they don't need to improve to be competitive. However, the reality is, competition is eating up their market. Some ADP staff, in particular, …
Chose ADP TotalSource
ADP TotalSource was selected over other competitors because it fit our needs when we were hundreds of employees. However, these days we have thousands globally and this number changes every day so it is quickly becoming a solution we can not rely on, especially compared to all …

Software to software is comparative to iSolved in regards to functionality. It is a little more visually appealing than iSolved. However, is it a much better performer than Paychex Flex.
Chose ADP TotalSource
We used to use ADP for salaries, and it was great--a much better experience than ADP TotalSource.
Chose ADP TotalSource
ADP is more robust and user friendly solution compared to Paycom. Using Paycom would have required sourcing additional vendors to meet our HR needs. ADP provided more functionality and overall was a better fit for our organization despite the higher price tag.
Chose ADP TotalSource
We moved over to Justworks and we're very happy. The on-boarding process was easy, the online platform is easy and it's half the cost of TotalSource.
Chose ADP TotalSource
At the moment, we have not investigated any of the products available in the drop-down list provided. However, we have evaluated some other (unavailable) products and have been intrigued by the potential decrease in fees along with the potential for a much more "rich" benefit …
Chose ADP TotalSource
We use ADP simply to to track pay for employees. We really like more of the functionality of Workday as it is really easy to import org charts and track performance. The graphics and appearance of these sections are also really nice! We also use Workday to track time off as it …
Chose ADP TotalSource
ADP is significantly more "corporate" than BambooHR or Workable. Which is to say that it is an extremely simple solution, with basic interface design; that gets the job done well nearly every time. It doesn't sport the recruiting capabilities that Workable comes standard with …

Likelihood to Recommend
Our offices are based in more metropolitan cities. Employees can easily use local deals as much as they want. Since we have been back to the office, Accessperks has especially been vital in making employees feel valued. It is very rewarding when employees personally thank you for such a beneficial program

I would not use this company for anything. [I believe my] employees [absolutely] hate the software and there are constantly glitches in the software which occur every payroll run, benefits enrollment, etc. [I have spent] large amounts of time on the phone with outsourced customer support[,] so think twice when comparing [the] cost to other providers. [I feel] you [will] need someone full time to deal with all of their issues. We are currently in the process of setting up another PEO company. The amount of money and time to implement ADP has been a huge loss.

Pros
  • easy to understand program
  • actual discounts that employees can use
  • Discounts on everyday things
Read full review
  • It does a great job of keeping track of all your pay at various other jobs that also use ADP TotalSource. You can easily log in and verify any information that you might need to check on.
  • The privacy feature is really great so that only you can see documents with financial information on them.
  • The app is also really handy and easily accessible. You can pull up anything in a pinch if you don't have access to your work computer at the same time that you need to look up something.

Cons
  • UX Design of Site
  • Expanded Perk Offerings
  • More Remote/Dispersed Benefit Programming
Read full review
  • Customer service is horrible
  • Follow up takes 7-10 days, and requires multiple inquiries from you, the client
  • The promised "dedicated team" doesn't exist
  • Onboarding is confusing to new hires
  • Explanation of benefits to new hires is useless and must be done in office, thereby negating any value.
  • They should not provide handling UI claims as as service. They have no ability to actually meet deadlines.

ADP is a great HR solution for most organizations. It is truly all-in-one. I rated it a 7, because of the issues we experienced during implementation and the high cost of service when issues do arise.

We also evaluated Tickets at Work - both are highly comparable options, but we went with Access Perks given both their incomparable discount network and mobile coupon program. The Access Perks website is also much easier to use, for both administrators and employees, and offers a more compelling discount/perk ratio across the board.

At the moment, we have not investigated any of the products available in the drop-down list provided. However, we have evaluated some other (unavailable) products and have been intrigued by the potential decrease in fees along with the potential for a much more "rich" benefit plan. We can't speak to the level of customer service observed by current clients, only to apparent cost savings.

Return on Investment
  • Low Lift/High Impact Program
  • Ever-Expanding and Hands Free Offering
  • Increase Employee Satisfaction

  • ADP Totalsource had a negative impact on our overall return on our investment because of the poor customer service.
  • We spent a lot of money and put time and energy into the setup, we were happy with the product and willing to pay the higher payroll fees and just really unhappy with the customer service.
  • If the customer service would have been different and the fees not so high we would have stayed longterm. Again, they did not seem to be geared towards smaller businesses.
