    Chose RUN Powered by ADP®
    TotalSource was a very good service but we didn't use enough of the features to make the cost worth it to us.
    ADP ezLaborManager is good at collecting punches and producing accurate reports. Doesn't identify late or no lunches. It downloads into ADP RUN well.

    Chose RUN Powered by ADP®
    The above systems are more in depth and more pricey [than RUN Powered by ADP]. If you need a more basic system and to not spend a lot of money than RUN is better. Also, it is better for smaller companies. Workforce Now at times include EZ Labor Manger.

    Chose RUN Powered by ADP®
    We were looking for a payroll service that could combine a time card service to reduce errors. RUN has done what we expected. Look out when setting your company up. I wasn't here for setup and found many errors on the company's W2s.

    [ADP is well suited for] Smaller agencies with a regular payroll and not a complex payroll. Users must be familiar with databases, reporting, etc. as system is not as user friendly as we would like. The cost is also a factor especially as the basic system does not include other features such as performance management, dashboards, etc. I was hoping to have access to the dashboards. Reporting should also provide more sample reports

    I would highly recommend given that RUN Powered by ADP® is our third payroll company and the first that I have been completely satisfied with. It saves me hours of frustration and is also less expensive than our previous payroll companies.

    Pros
    ADP
    • Ease of use: employees can clock in and out on the tablets that are at that location site. They can use the same punch information to log into ADP and look up and edit personal information on their own. Like changing address, phone, and open enrollments.
    • Various methods of clocking. Tablets, computer, biometric clocks, and hand clocks.

    • Payroll - running weekly payroll is easy and can be done from anywhere.
    • Reporting - Whether it is PTO or tax forms, reporting is critical. I like the favorites section too, for frequently run reports.
    • Background checks - the basic reporting provides a sense of relief that your new people are okay. It is easy to navigate.

    Cons
    ADP
    • Trying to research previous time cards past a month are hard to achieve. There is a custom date range option but it rarely works, the program just sits there and doesn't pull up the custom range.
    • Pulling reports for various needs is also more difficult then it needs to be. Instead of pulling a quick report with the dates and parameters you need you have to go in and edit the report and then go back in and edit it again to return it to default settings.
    • You also have to watch your invoices and make sure you are receiving your discounts otherwise this software can be quite costly.
    • Make sure your employees bookmark the ADP ezLaborManager website, otherwise it gets difficult to find through an internet search.

    • I do wish there were additional custom deductions available rather than a limited amount.
    • Sometimes employees have trouble accessing their account after the initial invite has been sent.
    • Sometimes employee accounts get locked due to a reused email if their profile is deleted before they've signed up. Only a call to support can correct it.

    It is much better than the payroll system I used previously. The integrations that RUN has for on-boarding new hires are very convenient when they work properly. It saves a tremendous amount of time being able to email a link to new employees that allows them to enter much of their own demographic information. Payroll feature alerts me when someone's pay is significantly less or more than usual.

    Usability
    ADP
    ADP is a good system to track information but, what it lacks is just some detail that provides time savings. Some instances they have made "updates" that tend to have been better previous to those "updates." One example is for staff to see how they have used their time off in the past. There should be an easy way to report and review such other than looking at pay periods. Pay statement and review and totals can also improve.

    I have been using this system for years and they have actually made it easier and easier. The system is always making great upgrades that don't necessarily require any additional information or training. I love when I log in and see a new feature or button that I get to use to make my life easier!

    ADP Run loads a bit slowly at times, once I put in my credentials. However, that said, I think my perception of the time it takes is impacted by our "instant gratification" expectation of being able to get into everything quickly.

    ADP
    The support is not the best as they take much time to get back to you, days for some items as simple as a standard report. They do not know much about their own system I feel and it shows a lack of knowledge on their part. We have gotten wrong answers and it's not so user friendly.

    I appreciated having that issue finally take care of. it was extremely disheartening to see the issue had not been resolved. I also had my employees looking to me and thinking I was not trying to resolve the issue so it reflected poorly on my character. I do not know if i was because of a miscommunication, but nonetheless I was happy it was taken care of

    Online Training
    ADP
    The training provided was based on a generic database and reporting which made it difficult to compare when you had your own database to work at. It also didn't provide good written materials that would be useful after the training session. It was more geared towards the practice tests or applications within the training.

    ADP exLaborManager - I prefer ADP over the Paycor and Aon Hewitt timecard applications. This software was more user friendly, had easier access, reporting, and tracking hours than the others I have used. I am not saying the others are horrible, just that ADP was more simplistic to use and administer than the others.

    We decided to go with RUN Powered by ADP® as they seemed to be the most price conscious with the most up-to-date compliance in the field. Often the competitors cost more for individual services or wanted us to buy a much larger bundle of products than we needed.

    Every summer, we hire three new college interns who have to be entered into the system. They can enter their information themselves, which takes a load off me. The onboarding is quite straightforward, and today's college kids are techy enough to be able to understand it.

    • RUN Powered by ADP® has had a meaningful impact on our business by reducing administrative time and lowering compliance risk. Automating payroll and tax filings has saved several hours per pay period that would otherwise be spent on manual calculations, tracking deadlines, and preparing filings. This time savings allows us to focus more on operations and client work.
    • The platform’s automated tax handling has also reduced the likelihood of penalties or missed filings, which provides financial and operational stability. While the cost of the service can increase as add‑ons are introduced, the reliability of payroll processing and compliance support offsets much of that expense.
    • Overall, RUN Powered by ADP® has contributed to smoother operations, fewer errors, and more predictable payroll cycles, which supports our broader goals of efficiency and compliance.
