Overall Satisfaction with ADP Vantage HCM

Our entire organization uses ADP Vantage. Being a somewhat new employee, I am not sure what problems it has helped to address versus the platform we had prior to Vantage. I do like how it is easier to navigate about the site when hiring new employees, looking up information, etc.
  • I like the ability to create reports with the field grabber option.
  • New design is simple to use and understand.
  • Efficient
  • All fields are pretty self explanatory
  • It does tend to "freeze" occasionally, or buffers for seconds on end causing your site to log out.
  • Customization to your organizations needs is definitely limited.
  • More cons than pros.😕
  • Easier access to payroll info.
  • good functionality.
  • Self service.
We currently use Smart Compliance with Vantage. I'd say they even out as far as meeting our expectations.
I rate the support a strong 6. Our Payroll department does receive the support needed from ADP Vantage. However, the turn around can be a little swifter! We do value the assistance and guidance from our ADP Rep. We do have a great turn around with open tickets, now working with him.

Evaluating ADP Vantage HCM and Competitors

Yes - ADP Pay Force. Not sure why, it was prior to me joining the team!
  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Product Reputation
  • Analyst Reports
Not my decision personally-made as an executive decision higher up. I guess most important factor that played a part would be usability overall.
Would not change the evaluation, maybe just the selection.

ADP Vantage HCM Implementation

ADP Vantage HCM Training

  • Online training
  • In-person training
  • Self-taught
I personally did not receive in-person training. I do know that person to person interaction is more efficient versus self taught and online training. The instructor can work at your pace, and you will be able to ask more questions to better understand the system and how it works. I also prefer in person training overall.
My rating remains neutral. Although I was new, i did receive some online training which somewhat helped me in learning the basics to accomplish the tasks needed.
If you are comfortable in exploring the site, then yes I do recommend this approach. However, if you are like me and prefer to be guided, then no this is not the best approach. Otherwise, you will not know what you are doing and may get confused with all the tabs, fields, etc. Also, I have a fear of causing systematic errors playing in different fields.

Configuring ADP Vantage HCM

Honestly, I'm not quite sure. In some cases it is too complex, while some ways its just right for the product.
No, not at the moment. But I would like to explore best practices.
No - we have not done any customization to the interface
Some - we have added small pieces of custom code - I believe it was. I did not handle that aspect of it.

Have not really explored Vantage thoroughly. My rating may change over the next few weeks, months, etc. I have found pros and cons with the platform and once I adapt, I'm sure to find more benefits.

ADP Vantage HCM Reliability

I remain neutral
I'd say the availability is about average, I have experienced outages and app errors, that may be a little frustrating when you are in the middle of a task or reports.
Pages do load pretty swiftly, and reports do not take too long. However, I have noticed that most reports become available sooner than some. Which if you are trying to process payroll, it may slow you down and tends to be time consuming when you're in a crunch.
