    The skillset of the representatives is all over the place. You may get two different answers to the same question depending on who you speak with. There seems to be high turnover with the payroll rep, ours keeps changing sometimes without notice. Our HR business partner has been the same for over a decade and she is great.

    They are easily our go to company for anything revolving around VMware suite, whether that is infrastructure related, automation related, or monitoring related. It's a no brainier to get their assistance with a lot of tasks as they can competently implement complex designs. Also on the storage architecture side they are great. I'm sure there is much more but for my team we mainly leverage them in these areas.

    AHEAD (formerly Sovereign Systems + Data Blue)
    • The provided pre-req documentation was thorough and well thought out, making it easy to jump into the project.
    • The design session to gather our requirements was very helpful, Sovereign's familiarity with the vRealize product line along with diagramming our desired layout confirmed our decision to bring in assistance with the project.
    • When we ran into some issues with Sovereign's custom code their development team was on top of it and solved the issue in a matter of a few days.

    Cons
    ADP
    • The file feeds that go over to the carriers. We are constantly finding errors on employee benefits. We consistently have to "babysit" to catch errors.
    • The cases under the support section. They're difficult to read and ADP Comprehensive Services can be very slow to respond. If we call the MyLife Advisors, we typically get someone who isn't even in this country and can not answer our questions.
    • When an ADP Comprehensive Services rep has to go into the system and "fix" something, or when there is an update, it seems like more errors are created in another area.

    • Coordination of product orders with the vendor although I think the vendor is the bigger issue. Insuring delivery time frames are met is of great importance with these kinds of projects.
    • Communication between scheduled project meetings. There could be more contact between meetings.
    • Provide a customer portal for project tracking.

    I would not call it training, rather would call it knowledge transfer.

    Having extensive pre-implementaton dialogue really made the process much smoother. We had most of our bases covered and were ready for the equipment installation/implementation, except for the previously mentioned network configuration issues that arose.
