Overall Satisfaction with ADP Workforce Now

Currently we use ADP Workforce Now for processing payroll and managing HR files for operational employees. While the driver files are stilll be kept on another platform. We hope to utilize the performance review section and career mapping area in the near future. We also use it for certain employee reimbusements.

Pros

  • process payroll
  • deduct benefits from employee checks when they miss a payroll period
  • tracking employee loans/payments

Cons

  • report building
  • searching records - can only search by last name
  • orgnziing groups that are reviewed on a regular basis
  • makes processing payroll a lot faster
  • ensures PTO balances are correct
  • updating direct deposit information for employees is easier
ADP Workforce Now's scalability is pretty good, once the GL mapping is setup and the control fields it really doesn't matter how many employees you have in whatever groups are setup. The setup will always be the same. This makes it ideal for growing companies where employee count is higher or changes regularly
  • Sage Intacct
  • Xero
  • NetSuite
ADP Workforce Now stacks up pretty well however Paycom seems like it would be a lot easier to navigate and use. All the data is centralized in one platform section making searching and setting up a lot easier. Compared to ADP Workforce Now if you search in one area for data and don't find it you may have to search another section and subsection to locate the data you are looking for

No

Would you buy ADP Workforce Now again?

Yes

The customer support is pretty good. however I came across when I call in they say well I can't help you but I can open a ticket. Then when our customer support contact contacts me they say well I can't help you but I can get a team member that can. It seems like a waste of time. Why did the first person connect me with the customer support rep only for them to refer me to another team again. Just wastes my time
The implementation went ok however it could have been a lot better. We were handed off to another support member when we weren't done setting up the GL Mapping. Now we were handed off again to another team member with reports and requests still not finished. So we have to explain the request again to the new person. The GL Mapping was a pain as the person setting up the mapping didn't understand nor read the spreadsheets sent and mapped things incorrectly then was upset when this was brought to their attention.
