Overall Satisfaction with ADP SmartCompliance

Armstrong Group of Companies includes several different companies. We have Utilities, Telecommunications, Telephone, Properties, Security Services, Restaurants, HVAC/Plumbing, Manufacturing. ADP SmartCompliance is utilized by Payroll only for tax compliance, agency notices, jurisdiction set up and maintenance, quarter reconciliation, annual reconciliation, invoicing and funding and W2s. ADP is constantly striving to advance their technology and welcomes customer feedback in that effort. I rely on them heavily to help us stay up to date and in compliance with the ever-changing laws and policies.
  • Sort and filter tax jurisdictions, agency notices, etc.
  • Easy to set up new tax jurisdictions.
  • Keeping up to date with compliance.
  • Listening to their customers and what they need.

JD Edwards Enterprise and Workday
ADP is very good about sending notices about updates/changes for compliance. The representatives are also good about explaining these when neeed.
Have only used ADP so I cannot compare.
I have used ADP SmartCompliance for several years and have watched it grow and expand. It is constantly changing and upgrading. There is so much you can accomplish on just this one site. With using Workday for payroll, we need the ease of using ADP SmartCompliance integration. Once set up, it is smooth sailing to provide our tax data to ADP.

Did not purchase this. I was not employed at the time so I cannot answer why not.
Our representative at the time, Meghan, went above and beyond to help with PA local issues we were having during Workday implementation. She walked us through each step and who to call at the various agencies and what to say to them and how to resolve the complex PA locals within Workday.
Our ADP SmartCompliance representative is the absolute best! Megan delivers exceptional service and is always there to help us when we need her.

The navigation can sometimes be a bit overwhelming and confusing if you don't know the system well enough. On the bright side, it doesn't take long to learn the ins and outs and become an expert.
