    ADP Workforce Now is built on being a payroll company and it is where it continues to offer the base with flexibility and power the company payroll. ADP's human resources information system, including recruiting, has many good ideas and a big network but is not as fresh and …

    I also used UltiPro (way back -- it didn't even appear in dropdown). Recommend ADP Workforce Now above all others. Paycor and Paycom were both very clunky. I even helped implement Paycom and could never get it to work how the business needed it to.

    ADP
    ADP Workforce Now is well suited for teams wanting help in managing multiple state environments with a staff who are adept in software, knowledgeable in payroll processes and laws, and looking to save time. The HRIS system with ADP Workforce Now offers variety of options, but is not very flexible in terms of ease of use or customization. The end user interface is pretty basic and not very pretty so it is good for utilitarian industries, probably manufacturing or shift work. It is less appreciated by professionals, especially the new generation coming from college.

    BambooHR is well-suited for small organizations with less than 100 employees (like most churches, local businesses, etc.). An HR Director can easily customize the platform to suit both the organization's and the employees' needs. On the other hand, BambooHR seems less adept at serving large organizations (those with more than 100 employees).

    Pros
    ADP
    • HRIS that is personalized for the employee and addresses DE&I needs.
    • Payroll, of course! The system addresses all needs, such as deductions, additional pay, premium OT, and shift differentials.
    • Onboarding is an excellent way to stay in compliance and have all documents completed.
    • Tax and Banking and resolution to any issues.

    • Onboarding/Offboarding. This is where they really shine. The organization of the entire process—assigning tasks, responsibilities, deadlines—is all on a single platform. The time savings are incredible. I personally value the opportunity it gives new employees to connect with the company before their first day. Seeing them arrive with a large percentage of their tasks already completed is a huge plus.
    • Their APIs. For us, they're incredibly important. And to this day, we haven't had a single failure. We use access levels configured in detail for creating API keys, and we haven't had any data breaches or incidents. For a technology company like ours, this is invaluable.
    • Employee experience. When almost no employees call us to ask how to do something in BambooHR, it's a sign that the system's usability is excellent. The interface is intuitive, and everything is just a few clicks away. We value this highly because it saves time for us as platform administrators and for employees who don't have to spend time deciphering an HR platform.
    • Onboarding / Offboarding. Aquí realmente se lucen. La organización de todo el proceso, designando tareas, responsables, fechas de cumplimiento, todo en una sola plataforma. El ahorro de tiempo es brutal. Personalmente valoro muchísimo la posibilidad que les da a los nuevos empleados de entrar en contacto antes del día de inicio de su contrato. Verlos llegar a la empresa con un gran porcentaje de las tareas ya avanzadas, es un plus.
    • Sus APIs. Para nosotros, es importantísimo. Y a día de hoy, no hemos tenido ningún fallo. Utilizamos niveles de acceso configurados al detalle para la creación de API keys, y no hemos tenido fuga de datos ni incidentes. Para una empresa de Tecnología como la nuestra, esto es oro.
    • Experiencia del empleado. Cuando casi ningún empleado nos llama para preguntarnos cómo se hace algo en BambooHR, es señal de que la usabilidad del sistema está correcta. LA interfaz es intuitiva y todo se encuentra a la vuelta de tres clicks. Esto lo valoramos mucho, porque nos ahorra tiempo a nosotros como administradores de la plataforma, y a los empleados que no tienen que ocupar tiempo en descifrar una plataforma de RR.HH.

    Cons
    ADP
    • Customized pre-process payroll reports (Limited on pre-process payroll reports)
    • Labor Allocation (Allocations make payroll reporting very hard to review and find any errors )
    • Recruiting (ATS is very basic)
    • Geofencing (should be able to change shape rather than a circle)
    • Pay Classes (should be able to change at Practitioner level rather than reach out to support)
    • Cookies and Cache have to be cleared on a regular basis
    • Only able to see employee documents/acknowledgements one at a time in the employee file
    • Timecards can only be managed/viewed by 1 person
    • Timeoff emails do not have a link
    • Cost per payroll - not just monthly fee so cost with off cycle payrolls
    • Separate I9 step not needed - during onboarding - 2nd Everify step
    • ADP Workforce Now does not pull in allowances for Houly employees into payroll ONLY Salaried employees

    • The UI could be improved; there are some spinners/loaders that just look off.
    • It should be easier to find the performance-related views. For us, those are very important; however, navigating to them requires going through at least 3 pages.
    • It would be nice to have a dark mode, for people working all day behind a screen it helps not having a bright background color.

    Due to the lack of support from the sales and service center we are looking at other options outside of ADP. Again it is a good system, it just lacks the support it deserves from the company employees. It is just unimaginable that you will need to reach out to a service provider several times for the same issue and not get it resolved.

    There's nothing wrong with this platform. I would recommend it to any business starting with more than 10 employees. I will continue to use the program for as long as I need to, hoping they continue being tremendous and finding other ways to incorporate more technology.

    I would give it a 10 however I do not like when ADP does facelifts in Workforce Now which does not add any value other than having to relearn navigation. I am also not a big fan of being forced to refer to the Bridge. We have Google which gives the same results. If I understood the answer I would not contact our Account Rep.

    Because I can tell it's super good and intuitive platform, but it has some improvements to do that would facilitate and speed the HR managers tasks - like I would like to be able to upload the same document for all the employees at once, for example. They have to find a way to control processes simultaneously

    Yes, there is a huge team in the back of the online platform or it looks like it because I have never been left without an answer when I have a question or waiting from a response on my chat .... There must be a huge team, this is so great and I always seem to have someone that is very knowledgeable too. So many times in the past I had to leave with customer service that would connect you with someone else because of the expertise, here everyone seems to be some kind of an expert in the HR function.

    Performance
    ADP
    Overall, I think the functionality of the program works pretty well. Sometimes, certain browsers do not work well for the policy function of ADP, but that is the only issue thus far

    I love BambooHR. Reports are easy to run and download and it usually covers any types of requests I get from the management team. You get excel or .csv downloads/reports and it is fast and simple, not too crowded so it is easy to read through. We don't integrate the tool yet but again, soon we will. we just did not had the time to utilize it yet but that's the plan.

    Support Rating
    ADP
    Every time I have reached out for support I have received, prompt, courteous and accurate information allowing me to complete the task at hand. I love the Bridge where I can find answers to questions from other ADP users and also help answer and give insight to them as well.

    Through their help center, FAQs, and live customer service agents, I've always received prompt, accurate, and helpful guidance when I reach out with questions. Their live-agent customer service hours cover a good portion of the day, and I get the help I need whenever I need it.

    In-Person Training
    ADP
    In-person training was pretty good - I think this significantly depends on the trainer. Our trainer was really good and showed what ADP can do - but I know that all trainers are not the same - and this truly makes such as difference. Overall, our training went pretty well.

    I didn't have in-person training besides teaching my managers how to use the program. However, I couldn't omit this question (maybe a system glitch).

    Online Training
    ADP
    At the time training was not as expansive as it is now. If it could go wrong it did for me so the process was difficult and lengthy. I needed to have more in person walkthroughs of things to ensure the transition was done correctly. Not sure what else I can say, we were part of the initial move to Workforce Now when it was introduced.

    Overall this training was great and our implementation specialist was wonderful and very helpful. We felt really prepared once our training was completed, But we could get additional help immediately even when we were live. The continuation Support heros after implementation are wonderful and you can always get a LIVE person each time you call into their office.

    Implementation Rating
    ADP
    Either assign more than one specialist to the implementation process, or assign less clients to the implementation specialist. The process requires attention to detail and the ability to test and re-test as well as verify the information. It also requires a lot of back and forth between the client ant the implementation specialist, so they need to be readily available during the whole implementation process.

    We implemented bambooHR in Fall, 2023 then implemented Payroll 1/1/24. A vital piece of information was not known or missed in that we are exempt from State Unemployment Tax and have a Reimbursement Set-up, so bambooHR did not send Payroll Reports to the State. Those reports need to be sent regardless if we are exempt or not.

    Alternatives Considered
    ADP
    I also used UltiPro (way back -- it didn't even appear in dropdown). Recommend ADP Workforce Now above all others. Paycor and Paycom were both very clunky. I even helped implement Paycom and could never get it to work how the business needed it to.

    Bamboo HR's user interface is better than the alternative products listed above. It is easier to scroll through tabs and navigate different sections and reports. You do not need to train your team members to use Bamboo HR. This saves time on training. The user interface of other products listed above is not as simple and clean as Bamboo HR.

    Since my organization has dropped with employees, I always find ways to reduce costs. I thought there would be a cheaper option, but I was glad that my package included a lot for the price, and downgrading would cost more. The rep could have let me downgraded and taken me to a higher package. I am thankful that didn't happen.

    Scalability
    ADP
    I would rate the product’s overall scalability a 9 out of 10. The platform demonstrates strong flexibility and performance as usage grows, with the ability to be deployed across multiple departments and locations without significant reconfiguration. It supports increasing user volumes and evolving business needs effectively, while maintaining stability and consistency. With minor enhancements around configuration automation, it could easily reach a full 10/10 for scalability.

    There is so much you can do with this platform, it is incredible and so welcoming. We don't utilize it 100% yet just because we are growing and the HR team has not been able to concentrate on other areas offered to us but but we will soon. Which is also why we got the product, specifically because what BambooHR can do to help us meet our growing business needs.

    Return on Investment
    ADP
    • ADP WorkforceNow has provided a positive ROI for our company. It has saved me countless hours in the time I used to spend preparing reports, managing benefits, and annual enrollment, recruitment tracking, and much more.
    • The integration with Payscale has allowed our company to take every position in our organization and benchmark it to industries and job titles. This has allowed us to be more competitive on recruitment and retention.
    • We have used the new DE&I dashboard to provide valuable information on the landscape of our workforce, as well as areas of our organization that may not be as diverse.

    • We used to pay an outside firm to handle these things. We paid about the same per month as we do for BambooHR® and they would answer HR questions when we needed them to.
    • Onboarding goes a lot smoother and it's easy to collect esignatures.
    • Time off has become much more visible across the organization and managers can see their own team's requests and the requests of others to better plan our schedule.
