ADP Vantage HCM is being used as our payroll and HRIS system for the whole US population. Right now it addresses the need for employee self-service, and we are tackling manager self-service in the future. It has helped to have one integrated system to avoid doing constant interfaces between systems.
  • The system is constantly evolving based on customer feedback.
  • The new analytics are top notch.
  • Customization of fields.
Cons
  • More fields need to track history.
Make sure you know which modules you'll be implementing. We did not implement all the modules and it would have been more helpful to have them to have the system work at it's best.

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.

4 months in, and pleased for far!

We have currently implemented ADP Vantage in the US and Canada. We have implemented the full Vantage Suite - Payroll, Talent, Learning, Compensation, Time & Attendance, Recruiting, as well as many other additional products ADP has to offer - unemployment filing, The Work Number verification services, RPO, and Total Absence Management. We are most excited with having all of our HCM in one system, and being able to eliminate so many of our previous "seams". We also plan to implement Streamline payroll for our global locations after we have Vantage fully implemented and the "bugs worked out".
  • We are very impressed with the ADP Vantage product overall. The product in most areas is extremely user friendly and employees are now able to do almost all of their transactional HR updates (address changes, tax changes, phone number changes, etc.) via Employee Self Service. This allows our HR staff to focus on strategic tasks, rather than transactional.
  • ADP as a company really seems to listen to their customers. Every year at their annual conference, they have round tables where they get additional insight from their customers to continue to make their product better.
  • By having all of our HCM data in one product, we can ensure that reporting relationships are always accurate, for instance, rather than updating multiple systems.
Cons
  • ADP has room for improvement on their implementation strategies for ADP Vantage. It is a relatively new product for ADP and their implementation managers are still learning the product. As they continue to update their knowledge base, this should continue to improve.
  • The TOR system (Time Off Request) has some quirky steps about it. We are currently working with our Service team to ensure our implementation manager set it up incorrectly, or if it really is this weird. :)
We have been live with ADP Vantage for only 4 months. We are definitely still learning the system, and still in the process of implementing some of the modules. As of now, we are extremely pleased with the system thus far.

Waste Pro uses ADP Vantage HCM across the whole organization. It addresses business problems such as it is a one stop shop, meaning one log in and I can access a variety of items. It provides self service to our employees, which takes some of the load off of the administrators and allows the EE immediate access to their information.
  • ADP Vantage HCM is nicely laid out so it is user friendly. It gives you the look and feel of what other popular apps might look like so there is a familiarity there.
  • ADP Vantage HCM being a one stop shop, makes it nice to only have to keep track of one log in and I have all of the information I need at my fingertips.
  • ADP Vantage HCM is always evolving and while at times this can be a challenge I find it to be a strength that they are always trying to improve the product.
Cons
  • We just upgraded to Vantage Time Version 8. While we are glad that we do not have to worry about Java any more the look and feel is a little lack luster. The screen is boring and it can be hard to locate what you are looking for because nothing really stands out.
  • Since upgrading to Vantage Time Version 8 things have been moved around that we were not expecting so I think it would have been helpful to have that laid out during the implementation process.
  • The other item that I have personally had issues with is Employee Documents. This has given errors across our company so at any given moment you do not have access to obtain an EE's documents. This needs improvement.
I think it all depends on what the client is looking for. I mean we have been using Vantage for the last 6 years and it has come a long way from where it started. The nice thing is we have been able to grow with it and configure things to how we need them to be for our business. So each business needs are going to be different and ADP Vantage can keep up with those needs.

ADP Vantage is used for HR (Core HR, Benefits, Talent, Recruitment) and payroll. Our employees use ADP on a daily basis to punch in and out for timecards. Employees are also able to update all their personal information such as address, phone, life events etc. Managers also use ADP Vantage self-service to enter information on transfers, pay changes, etc. We are completely paperless for all activities.
  • Ambassador Rewards is a great program that practitioners can participate in.
  • MyADP has a great look and feel but needs to be rolled out and not everything is there yet for our company.
  • Self Service is the best part about ADP. Supervisors/Managers can submit items to be approved. Practitioners in ADP set up the workflow for the activities they can submit.
  • I like the control practitioners have when it comes to security settings.
Cons
  • ADP in general LOVES to roll out new products however it is very clear the new products are not tested by people that actually would use the product. Also they tend to roll out products that are NOT ready to be rolled out. ADP Vantage in general is a great example of this. ADP wanted to be a contender in the product solutions of everything is 1 product and it is seamless. That is NOT true about ADP Vantage. ADP Vantage is not real time when it comes to benefits talking to payroll. Ben Calc still needs to run in the background and be set to payroll. ADP Vantage should have never been marketed the way it was. Unfortunately our company bought into it and we have the product we have and now have to work with what we have.
  • Another example of ADP rolling out new products before they are ready is My ADP. I tested this thoroughly before and I had to send a 17 page document to my service team to fix items that were not correct. Its frustrating to say the least.
  • ADP loves to change your service team on you. We have had it rough since day 1 with ADP.... our service team is who we rely on to get answers to issues. ADP will just switch them without any notices. Mary Ladwig was a great service rep for benefits and without notice Mary was pulled from my account and I was given a different rep. Not only did ADP do this without notice but they did it right before Open Enrollment the absolute worst time for ADP to pull a rep. We have had the most challenging Open Enrollment and it is purely because ADP decided to pull my rep and then give me a completely inexperienced rep for Open Enrollment implementation.
  • ADP Reporting is horrible. There is nothing to say other than it is not user friendly.
  • ADP loves a good release to try and fix issues. However 99.9% of the time the release causes more issues that ADP did not test for.
Our company now has worked out most of the kinks but it has taken us 4 years. Items that you think would be easy are never easy with ADP. Overall out product is working the way it is working because we worked 16+ hours days to figure out the issues. We didn't have the time to do this but unfortunately we don't have the ability to switch at this time so we have to figure it out.
