    ADP
    ADP SmartCompliance reduces a great deal of the strain on our department by easily remaining compliant. Particularly with several state and federal demands, payroll compliance can quickly become a struggle; ADP helps us keep all requests and court paperwork in one place. I appreciate how it automates reporting, garnishments, and tax returns to free us from constant concern over missing deadlines or making calculation mistakes. Knowing that things are being correctly handled gives peace of mind, saves time, and lowers double work. With everything being tracked and recorded, it helps reduce back-and-forth while handling notices.

    I would not recommend this software/solution. For the price they quote, I would look into other solutions as their software never fully supported our business and the filings were incorrect for years without resolution from customer serv. Their Resale Cert platform also lacked credibility- I suggest, look into other solutions to better support your filings.

    Cons
    ADP
    • Local Tax Help - Mainly PA employees. I wish there was an easier way to see that we have the employees setup correctly.
    • Tickets not in emails - What I mean is that they have a ticket system so that you can talk to your account manager, but there is no easy way to then pull up those tickets like you would if it were in emails. Sometimes we want to see how we handled something before and it gets tricky.

    • in my opinion, customer service could improve
    • in my opinion, implementation could be better to ensure accurate reporting
    • in my opinion, better rep support and pricing for smaller term contracts

    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.

    Online Training
    ADP
    Online training give us more flexible on timing. We always have a pack schedule and not able to attend training in person. Online training with recording is a good source for us especially we can review it again and again. The down side is we are unable ask question in person

    Implementation Rating
    ADP
    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.

    Alternatives Considered
    ADP
    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.

    We picked Taxify, by Sovos based on original contract price- would not recommend this as well as (with all the issues we have been experiencing) would rather spend the money and time on Avalara. When we asked for a 1 yr contract to limp along for the year, the price was quoted for about $70K which was triple our original agreement.

    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.
