ADP Review

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.
  • 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.

  • Overall ADP is one of the more expensive systems out there. We decided to take the chances and go with them. We make it work but there is always more that you want out of your system.
  • If you want it ADP may have it but how much are you willing to pay for it. Its not always worth the $$.
We were previously on ADP but the portal was phasing out. We decided to stay with ADP because we thought it would be the easiest transition. It was hard and we are still working on this 4 years later. At this time we are not changing systems however we are not apposed to this.
We are clinical Healthcare

We have recruiting, HR, Benefits, Compensation, Talent, Performance, etc. We split the duties dependent on our roles.
  • All In One
  • Paperless
  • Paperless performance evaluations
  • Performance Management
  • FMLA Leaves ?
Yes
It was a small ADP product that was being phased out. We had to switch to a national account.
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
I don't know if I would change anything.
  • Implemented in-house
Yes
  • issues with moving from implementation team to service team everyone had different "best practices" that didn't add up which caused tons of issues.
Again best practices are not consistent between implementation and service team. Wish we got one team which implemented and stayed with us.
  • Online training
It was okay but doesn't really prepare you as much as it should. You basically need to teach yourself.
Overall we have great support.
No we did not purchase premium support.
No
Overall great response time unless it needs to be escalated to Configuration Analyst. If that happens it takes forever for anything to get fixed.
Very easy to navigate
  • All functions are easy it is not a hard system
  • report but it just takes time
Yes, but I don't use it
Overall good scalability
Not too many unplanned outages.
We don't have issues with this
  • we do not have any integrated HCM as we have everything with ADP Vantage.
  • none
  • File import/export
Neutral but we do not have anything integrated
n/a as we do not have other systems integrated
Definitely did not like Mark our Midwest Sales consultant. He definitely sold us on items that ADP Vantage did not have or did not have them fully rolled out. Which then rolled into issues with integration.
Mark was horrible he basically dropped us after the fact and never checked on the issues. However we did work well with integration.
N/A
Ask detailed questions and make sure they SHOW you that in fact they have what they say.
Yes
The releases are smooth however there are always issues we find after the fact. ADP doesn't always check how an upgrade with effect other areas of ADP.

We currently have 31 different pay groups that we process payroll for. We just implemented the recruiting module a few months ago that feeds into VantageHCM for all new hires. We're still trying to reduce the amount of paper that is processed between the business units, HR, and payroll. Everything is working as we expect it to.
  • The dedicated service team allows for faster response to issues.
  • It provides easy navigation for all employees, managers, and practitioners.
  • Time cards, benefits, and payroll are all part of VantageHCM -- instead of three separate systems.
  • It could provide a better reporting functionality for practitioners.
  • I would like notifications from ADP when certain areas of the system are not working or are running slow.
  • I would like more detailed instructions on how to do certain things, such as a new state tax setup.
ADP is well suited for a larger company with at least 100 or more employees. It's too complex for a small company with less than 50 employees, but it is a great system to migrate to if using multiple systems for timecards, benefits, and payroll. when ensuring we are compliance with new state requirements, hard to verify with ADP is all of our companies have been set up correctly.

  • It's allowed us to rethink how we process payroll and our internal payroll deadlines.
  • We use it to utilize all tools provided when processing payroll to ensure accuracy.
  • There was not enough training during implementation -- we still have to create numerous SR's on a weekly basis.
Having timecards, benefits, and payroll all in one program is a big plus! The system we converted from was very archaic and we needed a system to be able to handle 30 payrolls with the possible of adding additional companies over the new few years. Also, to have a company that handles all of the tax filings since we are in numerous states.
Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365)
everyone has to enter timecards, view their pay stubs, view W2, enter address changes, enter direct deposit information, update tax information. Practitioners use system daily while employees may use system lots less. Managers need to use system for personal use as well as approving timecards and approving time off. Even our executives use HCM!
12
All of the HR and payroll professionals that reside in our corporate office are the support people for ADP Vantage. We do have field practitioners who access the system on a daily basis for processing purposes for that actually look to our corporate employees for assistance. We like to have employees that have some HR or payroll experience as a requirement for the support staff.
  • time keeping
  • payroll processing
  • employee records
  • incorporate recruiting into HCM
  • eliminating paper for pay stubs and W2s
  • automate pay data batch items
  • automatic system updates for timekeeping
  • automatics tax updates for all states
Because we have only been using the system for 5 years, we will continue using this service until our business outgrows the support we need or is unable to meet our needs. we need a system that will integrate with our carriers and well as our general ledger system. We are currently looking for another GL system to fit our needs that will need to integrate with ADPVantage.
Yes
We were using an old in house archaic system and our business grew faster than expected.
  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Vendor Reputation
Price and support system
get some business reference and call on these business references to ensure we were not being oversold on certain areas.
  • Don't know
Yes
I was told they did it in phases but I was not here during that time.
Change management was a major issue with the implementation
change is always hard for employees that have long tenure with a company.
  • tax setup
nothing at this time
  • Online training
not always offered especially the virtual led sessions
if you have some payroll experience - not hard to learn system - but I would always recommend doing some of the on-line training to enhance your skills.
just right for this product - going though implementation numerous times sometimes we have to changes some business process to fit the configuration of the system
have a timeline or a road map to sue for configuration and implementation
Yes - we have customized the interface extensively
with our external vendors - timekeeping to payroll, and GL interface
not at this time
Service requests are closed without any communication. Lack of 24-48 response time from our service team. we do have a bi-weekly meeting after each payroll is ran but lack of follow through from the service team is lacking. We just had a new service team assigned to us, so we will see how it goes.
Not Sure
only time I can think is when their was a billing discrepancy, their were no questions asked and I received my refund at the next billing cycle.
Expect an additional amount of time for hands-on training to be able to utilize the system to its greatest capability. I come from using ADP Workforce now so lots of the functionality is the same but called something else in ADPVantage. Just need to be willing to realize same functionality but called something else.
  • Navigating between functions
  • ease of logging in and using MY ADP with Vantage HCM
  • when system goes down on payroll Monday
  • lack of service team responding quickly when needed
Yes
very well - we use MY ADP which allows employees to log time, look at pay stubs, change direct deposit information and request time off. This is also used by managers to approve timecards and approve vacations time. Ability to let our employee be mobile and not hold up payroll processing each week.
most of the time - their are times when system goes down in middle of processing payroll
sometimes system is glitchy - just becomes more of an issue during payroll processing timeframe.
  • GL
  • HR Vendors
  • 401K vendor
not very difficult as most companies do these same integrations
  • not at this time
yes
  • File import/export
  • Single Signon
very easy to setup and use integrations
none at this time
I think we were oversold on the support side of the contract.
again - can not emphasize enough - our support team is lacking.
fees for seminars, fees for product development.
make sure to follow-through on all service requests.
Yes
yes - we are a company that likes to do testing and our support team is kind of against that

Used by HR & Payroll. It provides solutions for payroll processing, compliance and on-boarding.Helps figure out any HR or payroll errors. Also a great control between hr and accounting!
  • Reporting
  • Time & attendance
  • Employee profiles
  • Site glitches
  • System goes down on payroll processing days
Despite inconvenient system glitches, overall with the amount of data we have - ADP Vantage definitely helps us ensure correct payroll processing weekly.

Our entire organization utilizes the ADP Vantage HCM application in various capacities. Employees use the ADP Vantage HCM application to log in/out, check their time cards and PTO balances. Managers use ADP Vantage HCM to review time cards, perform edits, and run reports. HR and Finance practitioners perform payroll and HR related duties in ADP Vantage HCM.

My overall feedback is that ADP Vantage HCM is an above-average application and fits our business needs for the most part. There are a few areas within the payroll sections that still need to be updated, and we have lost some functionality that we experienced with Payforce.
  • The flow of data from payroll to time now takes minutes, and there is no need to wait until the next day.
  • The general look and feel of the application, especially the layout, make it easy for all users to perform their duties.
  • The insight metric and analytic dashboards are an updated view on a variety of data points.
  • The Pay Data views, while helpful in some data entry cases, can slow down batch entries if you have to update or create new views continually.
  • The state tax withholding section is a bit cumbersome and involves unnecessary movement to another screen and then back again to save the updated information.
  • ADP Vantage HCM cannot default the effective data of incoming payroll changes to the 1st day of the pay period. ADP Payforce had a flag that we could check that would do this. This is critical because although the payroll section will include retro the changes to the beginning of the pay period, the actual effective date will map over to time and not the beginning of the pay period.
ADP Vantage HCM is well suited for large accounts with more complex payroll and time and attendance needs. I would not recommend this product for basic payroll processing. These business would be much better suited to use a lower level payroll product.

I am pleased with the level of growth potential that ADP Vantage HCM has and look forward to utilizing these in the future.

  • We didn't incur any additional charges for upgrading to ADP Vantage HCM.
  • We are unable to take full advantage of the insights because of some of the implementation setup configuration last year.
  • We, unfortunately, we had to pay additional costs recently to clean up the earnings configuration to utilize the insights.
We simply upgrade to ADP Vantage from ADP Pay Force and Enterprise eTime time and attendance.

Our users fall into several categories. We have Web Pay users that simply use the application to clock in/out and view their paychecks and benefits. Our managers and supervisors have the ability to review time cards and run reports. Our Payroll Admins are responsible for performing the timecard edits and approving the time cards. And lastly, we have our Payroll department that has the access to both the Payroll and Time and Attendance sections of the application.

Currently we only have a Payroll Manager, Senior Payroll Rep, and Payroll rep.

We upgraded from the ADP Payforce application, which is set to sunset this year.
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Existing Relationship with the Vendor
  • Analyst Reports
We expedited our migration to this application due to issues we had with Payforce.
I think price plays a major role in selecting the HCM application for your business. However, I think it is vital that the HCM balances Payroll and Tie and Attendance functionality without jeopardizing one over the other with another vendor.
  • Implemented in-house
No
  • Ensuring all pay codes and deductions were setup properly
  • Setting up the Pay Data Entry Views for all payroll batches
  • Custom reporting
Not at this time.
  • Online training
With the online training the preferred method, my team was able to grasp the basics of ADP Vantage and then learn on the fly. It would have been helpful to have trainers onsite for our department manages.
The configuration is only limited to the amount you are willing to pay to integrate.
Make sure you provide a detailed import file with specs. Expect to pay a few thousand dollars for the configuration.
No - we have not done any customization to the interface

I feel this product allows us to process payroll, enter changes, perform all of our time and attendance needs, and allow for improved reporting.
No
My most recent call into our Vantage Time and Attendance rep regarding a requested updated was a success. Diego carefully listened to my request, offered a couple of solutions, followed up as promised, and setup the changes in our test system. This allowed me to test the changes prior to updating our production system.
  • Time Card Edit
  • Payroll Batch Processing
  • Running Reports
  • Creating custom reports
  • Double Entry requirements for some items
Yes
The mobile app allows employees to view their time cards, reports, benefits, and paycard. Managers can view the time cards of their staff and make edits.
Our Users have commented that the learning curve is fairly short and they can get up to speed in a small amount of time.
ADP Vantage is able to scale to our needs. As your organization's payroll and time and attendance needs grow, ADP has optional modules (scheduler, HR, ect.) that can be purchased. The basic reporting and metrics are nice add-ons.
We have rarely run into any issues with the applicable not being available. This is normally a client issues on their side.
There can be lag time on busy payroll processing days. The application will time you out and lock up on rare occasion.
  • Lawson
We built a Data Bridge for our Lawson import of new hires, terminations, employee changes, ect. This took a little time and money to build but it works without issue.
  • No
Not at this time.
  • File import/export
No
We simply had ADP build the Data Bridge and we run this utility every night.
Make sure you provide a detailed file to ADP. ADP can map to most of the fields in ADP Vantage.
The vendor (ADP) kept us updated on a daily basis with any issues and requirements to ensure the Go-Live happened as planned. The constant communication was a real plus.
The vendor didn't change their focus or support once the sale was made.
We were able to negotiate an upgrade to ADP Vantage at no cost to our organization.
Be open, honest, and realistic with your demands. ADP will work with you as a partner and it is up to you to ensure any additional needs or requests are submitted timely.

Benefits with ADP is great, open enrollment is initiated and employees go into the benefits section and enroll themselves, less paperwork, less human error. I used to have to go over 200 timesheets, now all the time is handled through Vantage. It used to take me almost 2 days for timesheets alone, now it takes me 4 hours to process time for 460 people.
  • The processes are simple
  • ADP always help to fix any issues that may arise.
  • It is nice to have a knowledgeable source to go to if you are in many states and the laws are different for each.
  • All of our taxes are also completed and submitted by ADP
  • Customer service - solving issues in a timely manner
  • More explaining why the problems actually happen so we can avoid future issues
  • Benefit quirks during open enrollment and the small issues that happen
I have not seen an area of my job yet where ADP has not improved the efficiency of it

  • Self-service is great for employees
  • The reports and management of data is great and very useful
We have had ADP for over 18 years. Our parent company wanted all their dealers to go onto the Vantage system, it improved all of our processes. There are less human errors and a lot of the information is put in by the employee.
