Overall Satisfaction with ADP Workforce Now
We currently use ADP Workforce Now for payroll (not Time & Attendance), performance appraisals, recruiting, onboarding, benefits, employee data, company policies, and other various ADP capabilities. We currently use ADP Workforce Now across the whole organization for our employees. It helps us effectively track our employee data, enroll in benefits, and pay employees.
- ADP Workforce Now, on the payroll processing side, is relatively easy to use. Adding paydata batches and making payroll changes is very user friendly.
- The layout of employee data is easy to view (the employee profile, pay profile, talent profile, etc.)
- I do not particularly like the Performance Appraisal dashboard. I find it difficult to find employees. Wish it was easier to determine if supervisors haven't completed reviews. Several reviews do not get distributed and they have to manually input them. Overall, I find it difficult to use.
- The free onboarding is not easy to use. You have to re-do the entire process if you make any changes.
- ADP Workforce Now has been helpful in effectively processing payroll to employees.
- Recruiting dashboard is not customizable, making it more difficult to recruit.
- Time & Attendance
We use a separate Time & Attendance model, which integrates well with ADP Workforce Now. So far, it has effectively met all of our needs.
Have very limited experience with SAP to give an accurate representation of the product.

Evaluating ADP Workforce Now and Competitors
Yes - Paylocity, looking for more customizable payroll and growth.
- Price
- Product Features
- Product Usability
The main was the product usability - for both practitioners and also for employees. Wanted it to be easy for employees to access and use.
Put a larger focus on the ability to customize and optimize the system.
ADP Workforce Now Implementation
- Implemented in-house
Change management was a minor issue with the implementation - I think more time should have went into the ADP implementation. There are items that come up now that were not thought of before, creating unnecessary problems.
- Knowledge to set-up correctly
ADP Workforce Now Training
- Online training
- in-person training
Yes - the system is pretty self-explanatory. I found that just playing around in the system was even more helpful than watching the training. Overall, the system is pretty easy to use and learn. In terms of ease of use, I would rate it pretty high compared to other items.
Configuring ADP Workforce Now
Make sure to set up correctly, really try to get a good rep if possible, it will make all the difference.
No - there is no facility to customize the interface
No - the product does not support adding custom code
If you have customizations needed from the basic model, do not choose ADP.
ADP Workforce Now Support
Pros | Cons |

None | Slow Resolution Poor followup Less knowledgeable Escalation required Difficult to get immediate help Need to explain problems multiple times Support doesn't seem to care Slow Initial Response |
No, but it may have been a good idea. The customer service received is sub-par. Would have thought that the regular customer service would meet our needs based on the price of the system.
We had a wonderful rep (there seem to be very few) who demonstrated the Onboarding portal with ADP. They showed us the benefits of the program, how to implement, and tips to optimize. It was one of our best experiences with ADP. We often reach out to this rep to get assistance in other areas and who we should talk to, even though it is not in their job responsibilities, and they are very helpful.

Performance Dashboard - yes, can be expensive
Retirement - Sort of, limited functionality

- File import/export
Not that I can think of.
Be sure to check out other options before doing an ADP integration. Often, these can be expensive and more costly than maybe having a stand alone service. There are also limited options for integration, so be sure you know what you are getting before you start - this will help the integration be more successful.
