ADP TotalSource vs. SentricHR (SentricWorkforce)

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.

SentricHR works well with unusual situations in payroll - they understood that our payroll is not just a basic hourly/salaried situation and were able to create codes and functions to work with our exact needs.

• Payroll was easy to learn and use with time tracking in a short time frame
• Tracking team members request offs and approving them were very easy
• Customizing reports for specific periods of time. This made is very easy for end of year tracking for total hours worked and total dollars paid.

Incentivized

• Open Enrollment lets employees view and select the benefit they want for the following plan year. Sentric is easy to use and lets us in HR link their selection to their payroll records.
• Sentric allows HR and the employee to view their paychecks. They can look at one, or many at a time.
• When someone applies for a job via Sentric, their candidate records carry through to their employee record after we hire the person.

Incentivized

• 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.

• Make it easier to determine which report works best for our needs
• Have the ability to create a custom report for specific instances
• Other than that, they're perfect!

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.

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.

I haven't explored the other systems in great detail. IFS didn't appear as "user-friendly". Taleo seemed to not have the capabilities Sentric did.

Incentivized

• It has cost us more money from a financial aspect and then taken away my main/other job duties because I have to focus all of my time on ADP TotalSource and basically fixing errors that happen weekly/every time an employee is added or terminated (which is more than the normal company due to the nature of our business).

• Not applicable for our business
