Overall Satisfaction with ADP Resource
Our company uses ADP for payroll and to manage our HR processes. We use the tool in the US and ADP streamlines internationally for our EMEA and APAC employees.
Specifically, we use the ADP portal to track PTO, employee timecards, track employees by headcount, chart organizational hierarchy, and to manager overall HR and payroll needs.

- ADP has an easy to read portal that is easy to navigate. The UI is fairly intuitive and as a user I can find the right information quickly.
- The ADP portal is flexible in the sense that we can change payroll amounts for special circumstances such as a special bonus or special payout. This allows our payroll team to make the necessary changes right away.
- The reporting capabilities are quite robust and there are many ways to customize reports that we use for finance, payroll, HR, etc.
- ADP organization has too many layers and you often have to speak to multiple people to find the right solution.
- There doesn't appear to be efficient communication between the internal teams at ADP - the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Thus, you often have to re-explain your issues.
- During the implementation of the software, it was not very coordinated. Some contacts were more knowledgeable than others and there was not uniform expertise.
- Positive - ADP has simplified our payroll batches as the payroll side is quite intuitive.
- Negatives - Because of a lack of internal coordination, we've often had to have multiple phone calls to resolve issues.
- Positive - The reporting within the tool has allowed us to be more efficient during our financial audits.
ADP is just a well known brand and is fairly affordable. Compared to other software such as Workday, it was a more affordable price point for our budget. However, if we had more resources and time to examine, Workday seems to offer a strong alternative to ADP in terms of payroll, HR, and financial systems. Overall though, there are more consultants knowledgeable about ADP which made it an easier choice for us.
