Overall Satisfaction with ADP Vantage HCM

The system is utilized across the whole organization for Human Resources and Time Management. It is a "one-stop" shop for everything related to an employee life cycle within the company.
  • Data Analytics
  • Onboarding; it makes the new hire employee experience easier
  • Time Management
  • Time Module; timecards only retain the primary rate of pay for reporting. It would be great to see additional rates that are paid to reflect the secondary rate in the calculation of hours.
  • I dislike having to go to different areas to access 1 employee record. Would be nice to pull up the employee and have multiple points on the record versus having to go to multiple areas for 1 employee.
  • I think with any implementation of a new product you will experience issues.
Needed a solution to fit our large business.
Great for larger organizations.

Evaluating ADP Vantage HCM and Competitors

Yes - JetPay Payroll. Their system was older and not updated with new compliance data. ADP Vantage offered more.
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
It was not my decision.
Again, not my decision.

ADP Vantage HCM Implementation

Review, review, review. Make sure tax data is accurate. Run multiple parallel payrolls.
Yes - We had weekly meetings, ADP staff onsite, rolled out in phases for different FEIN's
Change management was a big part of the implementation and was well-handled - We had to really change how data was processed.
  • Tax setup. We relied on our ADP implementation team and found out data was completely wrong. Our first year-end was a nightmare.
