This is different systems and they have different pros and cons. Customer services from UKG are more responsive vs ADP. ADP customer may take a few days or longer to response back. Also, if you give them a call, the wait time for the rep is pretty long which is highly not …

ADP
As a large organization, I don't know how we would work without them. We would definitely need a much bigger team to handle all tax and garnishments responsibilities. I feel like a smaller organization would benefit too if they were in multiple states. If you are however in one state I don't think the ADP SmartCompliance services are necessary

Pros
ADP
  • Timely tax payments which are processed through transmition of our periodic files.
  • The reports provided to help in the quarterly balancing process. Additionally, we are able to transmit files early (prior to quarter end) which provides more time.
  • The reports that are available showing our company profiles and account numbers.
  • ADP works well with integrating Smart Compliance and SAP.
  • The IPay Admin website for W-2c makes the process easy. The reports are great when balancing to the amendment files that have been sent. It's a good process.
  • ADP does a good job with issuing our W-2s. The reports are good and easy to use for balancing. Being able to create test W-2s each quarter is helpful.

Cons
ADP
  • Notices for the customer to contact the tax agency. It would be beneficial before that is being asked of the client for ADP to provide some context what steps they have already taken proactively to try to resolve. Seems like a lot gets put on the paying customer instead of ADP trying to resolve on the customer's behalf.
  • Help articles could be more user-friendly.
  • Compliance for state specific laws and regulations could be better communicated. Such as new OT, FMLA, Required Taxes by state.

Usability
ADP
For the most part, one can get in and learn how to navigate the system by just clicking on one of the suject areas. If you have a good clientrepresentative, they will inform you of new features/functionality and give you a quick demo. This is helpful for one to go back in and navigate to learn how it works and usefulness.

Reliability and Availability
ADP
Availability is good, with only one or two instances of not being able to access the system at all which were quickly fixed. Some features do not work correctly from time to time, such as the "Help" function or the "Sync" function.

Performance
ADP
If ADP is having issues, they communicate the problem within the solution once you log in. They also communicate that the issue will be fixed promptly. Reports run efficiently and in a reasonable amount of time. Also, the reports allow for various reporting types to be produced like a PDF or a Microsoft Excel file.

As mentioned in the last comment, everyone and everything has been great. However sometimes you get one person that I feel can bring a score down and the current dedicated tax representative I have I do not feel is very supportive.

I wasn't too hands on with integration portion of this product so I can't completely give an honest answer to that. I have been told that the training improves alot for each individual as they go through the process and it improves success. These individuals are able to do alot more than me in regards to implementation.

We reviewed MasterTax and Ceridian before selecting ADP's Employment Tax four years ago. ADP SmartCompliance was selected because it was thought that this solution would save us time and resources. We have since revisited MasterTax and have looked at Asure as well. These companies offer more control and require more manual intervention before returns are filed and payments made as a tradeoff.

Scalability
ADP
ADP has the ability to scale across departments. This was found to be true when we rolled out the wage payment solution. ADP users are able to view their pay stubs on their phones and/or computers. This wage payment portal offers W2 storage and paystub storage for access at any time by an employee.
