Overall Satisfaction with ADP Workforce Now

We mainly use [ADP Workforce Now] for employee tracking and payroll. We haven't set up the onboarding feature yet. WFN does not address problems, [I feel] it creates them.
We are former ADP RUN clients and miss it.
  • Staff is friendly but limited to WFN capabilities.
  • The sales rep asserted that transitioning from RUN to WFN would be "seamless," [I feel] it was far from that. Nightmare is the word I use to describe the switch.
  • [In my opinion] WFN's so-called "support" is anything but that. [In my experience,] the contact support, create a case system that is in place is [I feel] lacking on many levels especially when we have a problem that needs immediate assistance (ie payroll processing errors and many glitches.)
  • I am still not entirely sure our tax reports and filings are being handled in a timely manner.
  • We received notification that taxes weren't filed. Part of the problem is that our company ID number had been entered incorrectly, not only that but a different company name had been assigned. [In my experience, there were] crossed "wires" at every turn.
  • The functionality of WFN is not intuitive. There is no comparing RUN to WFN - I would think WFN would be better but it is not.
  • [I feel that] we are spending substantially more money without seeing benefits at this time.
  • We need to get the onboarding set up, but even when we do, I am not sure it will be used to full capacity because our employees will still require "hand-holding."

Would you buy ADP Workforce Now again?

No

[In my opinion,] having to create a case to get support leaves the customer feeling abandoned. [In my experience,] it can be DAYYYYSSSSSS before getting a response. If we call, we may or may not have the issue resolved.
I called for support [on] 9/20, sat on hold for 35 minutes [...], then a recorded message came on saying "the mailbox is full," then the call was dropped/disconnected.
If someone were looking for a Payroll system, I would tell them to use anything but [ADP Workforce Now].
