ADP Vantage - Proceed with Caution

It is used across the organization for all HR related processes - talent acquisition, payroll, benefits, performance management, compensation, succession management, learning management, etc.
  • The new user interface is friendly and easy to use.
  • The Succession Management module is one of the best I've seen. It is easy to navigate the talent assessment and easy to use to facilitate calibration sessions.
Cons
  • The product is sold as fully integrated but it is not. The Recruiting Management module isn't considered part of Vantage by the ADP team members. And, the look and feel of it is very different than the other modules. And, it is very difficult to use.
  • The Performance Management module is designed to support a very traditional approach to performance management and it is very rigid. It's very difficult to support more progressive ways of developing performance and keeping employees motivated.
  • The configuration/implementation was extremely painful. Implementation consultants vary wildly on their knowledge of their own modules and almost none of them understand how what is built in their module might impact configuration in other modules.
  • Five months post go-live we continue to have significant issues. Many of which seem to arise when updates are made by ADP.
If your company has only one way of paying hourly or salaried employees then the payroll module may work well.

Vantage is being used for benefits, payroll, GL, Human Resources, Time, performance and compensation. We are using Vantage throughout the entire company. It is eliminating paper and it provides real-time data for our teams.
  • ADP is always updating Vantage. ADP is always looking for ways to improve the product. They are also looking for clients to chime in on any product enhancements. This is amazing that ADP wants to know what we think about the product.
  • We like the performance and compensation module. It has eliminated the need for paper. We'll never lose an evaluation. Amazing!
Cons
  • We would live to see a more robust disciplinary system, where associates can sign their counseling, to eliminate the need for paper.
  • We have more than 1200 practitioners. This is a shortcoming for ADP, because when we need to add a new feature, we have to update each practitioner record one a at time.
If a client is looking for a one stop shop, I think Vantage is it.

ADP Vantage HCM - Oversold and Underdelivered

We implemented all 7 SaaS/Hosted modules:
  • Recruiting Management
  • Core HR
  • Time
  • Benefits
  • Learning Management
  • Compensation Management
  • Performance Management.
It is implemented enterprise-wide. It replaced multiple on-premises systems including several custom developed client/server apps, hosted recruiting web apps, and Oracle PeopleSoft.
  • Full Value Stream Hire to Retire HCM
  • Fully Hosted
  • Attractive Price
Cons
  • The 7 modules are not fully integrated as advertised; they function somewhat independently of each other. This is a serious immaturity in the offering.
  • The implementation project management experience was poor.
  • Some modules require different compatibility tech specs (different versions of browsers and java browser plugins) as if the product/development teams are not communicating and coordinating releases.
  • They have made changes to our production instance on more than one occasion, affecting hundreds of users without notifying us.
Before you buy specific modules, I recommend forcing a full demonstration of user data from recruiting to hiring to working and time off to payment to termination. I also recommend insisting on a full implementation project plan before you decide to implement.

Thoughts of using ADP Vantage HCM - from an adminstrators point of view

Our organization uses ADP Vantage HCM for all departments. It is a self service application for employees to maintain their demographic, payroll and personal information. As a shared service organization, it is used for payroll, time management and ACA Healthcare management and reporting.
  • ADP is the leader in payroll processing. The regulatory services, such as payroll taxes are completely taken care of by ADP.
  • The addition of the ACA Healthcare module is a benefit to any organization. Implementation is a mid-size project, not too long, and after go-live is maintained through integration of your existing data. This process saves a significant amount of time.
  • Workflow is a key factor for employee changes with proper approval. ADP Vantage has configurable workflow that can meet just about any need, and an experienced user can do the work.
Cons
  • ADP Vantage can improve on their online help tools. I am a person to use online help before I place a call to support. If the information is available to me, I can quickly proceed instead of needing to rely on assistance.
  • There is core functionality that could use improvements. Split R&D and development time between new product/functionality and enhancement requests from your existing customers.
  • There should be more training available for the Vantage HCM product, specifically to your subject matter experts or administrators. They should have a certification program to administer Vantage HCM.
The self service functionality allows for employees to maintain their personal information, withholding and banking information. The ability to view and print your paychecks and 1095-C records for ACA Healthcare Compliance is very helpful.

When the company decided to merge all North America Divisions into One Division bringing payroll for more than 10,000 associates to a Central Service Center they migrated to ADP Vantage HCM company wide. I was part of the user testing team and part of the initial go live team. This migration brought various payroll systems into the new system, which was difficult and much more complex than first believed. It is my belief that the system was not designed to process payroll for such a diverse and complex organization, we had many difficulties in using Vantage in a productive and efficient manner.
  • Vantage HCM unites human resource management, benefits administration, payroll services, time and labor, and talent management into a single solution.
  • Reports, dashboards and other analytical tools can provide you with new perspective on how you hire, manage and reward your people, with real-time information you can act upon.
  • The Flexibility to scale up or down to your business neeeds, as well as adding various modules as you need them is advantageous.
Cons
  • I found the Off-Cycle check process to be cumbersome and very time consuming.
  • I also found the Customer Service during implementation and after go live to be lacking in consistency and availability.
  • I believe the communication between the Payroll and Time and Labor systems needs to be more seamless
Be sure to ask what the threshold for Human Captial is to ensure smooth functionality. We had more than 10,000 associates, and processed weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly and quarterly payrolls for union and non-union associates. There were also varied and complex work rules, ensure that the Time and Labor Module can accomodate all of your scenarios.
