Overall Satisfaction with isolved

We use isolved firm-wide for ~70 employees in two different office locations in different cities within the state of Ohio. We use it as our payroll processing software, time & attendance (TimeForce) for Hourly employees, and also use it for ACA reporting, and FSA administration.
  • The software itself is fairly intuitive and robust with a nice user interface.
  • The general (non-tax) Customer Service is responsive and expedient in addressing issues.
  • The Tax Department to date has been abysmal. Extremely high volume of tax issues with very poor responsiveness and follow-up. Be ready to spend a lot of time following up with them.
  • The integration between TimeForce and isolved could be improved.
  • Given the horrific tax issues, a single point of contact would likely be helpful.
  • Unfortunately, far too much time has been spent following up on tax issues resulting in a poor ROI.
I find the isolved software more appealing than either ADP or Paychex. However, while I hated dealing with ADP because they are too big and very difficult to navigate as a result, we had very few issues (particularly tax-related) so, based on that alone ADP and Paychex were both stronger than isolved.

Based on the software itself, my score would be an 8. Based on NON-TAX Customer Service, my score would be a 9. Unfortunately however, the Tax Department gets a negative 10, resulting in an overall score of 3 (at best.)
