Overall Satisfaction with isolved

The entire organization uses isolved in some fashion. Everyone (including salaried employees) uses the time clock to punch in and out. Some use the physical time clock and some have permission to enter online. The HR and payroll teams use isolved for employee management, payroll, benefits, and COBRA. Reports are utilized to create data for our simple IRA reporting and FSA reporting.
  • Accurate data
  • Great customer service--there was a recent situation where MN has a new assessment for federal loan assessment effective 1/1/21, but we weren't notified of this assessment. Our relationship manager proactively identified the additional cost, let us know that we may receive a tax notice for the undercalculated cost of $9.50, but has already taken care of the issue.
  • Good report writing--easy to create new reports for just the exact data we need
  • Before our current relationship manager, we didn't have any proactivity on our account, and there were problems with getting issues resolved. Our current relationship manager is all over the account and whenever we have any problems, she makes sure the right resource is identified to get it fixed immediately.
  • When the ARPA plan went into effect, there was a delay for when isolved fully adapted it. We had reached out before it was ready.
  • Payroll
  • Benefits
  • Human resources
  • Lower cost than ADP with greater accuracy and customer service. Couldn't ask for more!
ADP--horrible customer service, inaccuracies.
We left ADP to utilize isolved.

Did isolved live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of isolved go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy isolved again?

Yes

I have been very pleased with the overall customer service, correct data, and ability to customize for our needs. So much better than ADP (our previous provider). I love that it's a singular resource that handles time clock, payroll, HR, benefits, COBRA, and ACA reporting. Nobody else handled ACA reporting in that first year, but isolved stepped up to the plate.

isolved Support

Tax response is a 1 (it could take months to get a response, if I get one at all), general response for issues with payroll processing is a 10, response for new services is a 3 (have had a ticket in for 2 weeks and we are still in the queue. One note - if I call for support I can get a person right away (only for payroll processing issues - I just get voice mail for tax)m, but if I email it could take hours or days to get a response.

Now that we have a true customer service rep, however, I can go to her for help and she is outstanding.
