Overall Satisfaction with ADP Vantage HCM

The entire organization uses ADP Vantage HCM. Our HR department, Payroll, Benefits, and Leave all use Vantage as one program together. Our employees use it in some form or fashion to punch in, or as a manager to approve time. We needed a program that would save time and link between the HR/Payroll departments. We also needed a way for everyone to get information about employees to other departments faster.
  • The on-boarding process is much faster as we were on paper before.
  • Benefits administration, as the carriers receive timely and accurate employment information.
  • The time module within Vantage does not seem as robust as other ADP products.
  • Labor Allocations are limited and cumbersome in the payroll previews.
  • The turnaround time for processing status changes has been days.
  • Our company has almost doubled in size in 2 years and we haven't had to add a payroll processing EE because of the time saved with ADP Vantage HCM.
I think it's important for other companies to do their research and to make sure to not be oversold like we were. We needed to have an implementation expert with the sales person who could have explained some of what we wanted was not doable without costing extra. It's for this reason that I'm giving ADP Vantage HCM this rating. Everything is a project and comes with an additional cost.

I think ADP Vantage HCM would be great for a company that did not have a complicated labor allocation setup, or a company that did not have employees working in multiple states. From a payroll perspective if you have a complicated setup, this might not be the program for you. HR-wise this program is well suited to a company of our size, 1500. Because of our labor allocations, that seems to cause a lot of problems configuring how costs get broken out. There are many different options for configuration, whether it be in time, or payroll. However, it seems as though items coming from time can be overridden from the payroll engine or things in the payroll engine can be overridden in by the time file.
