Overall Satisfaction with isolved

We use isolved for Time Clock, ACA Pro, Learn Pro, Payroll/HR, Benefits, Time, and Carrier Connections. I love the Quick Hire feature, its user friendly and really fast to enter new employees to payroll and benefits. ACA makes it simple so all is required is double check the benefits and process the rest is completed by isolved and 1095's are mailed to business in less than 72 hours. Learn Pro is great for employees and admins to learn and stay current with all the features. Benefits makes it simple to enroll employees and track for ACA. Overall its a great tool to have and makes tracking effortless. However, I am ALWAYS disappointed with the customer service reps, the turnover rate is high I seem to have new group every 3-6 months and they always make mistakes that cause so many issues with our accounting department. i Also don't like the changes and updates that take place in back end, as they don't notify us the customers and reports and access are missing then days and weeks are wasted trying to gain access or a solution.
  • Time and Time Clock feature is great
  • Benefits is great tool for open enrollment and new employee enrollment as well as termination.
  • Quick Hire is extremely fast to input new or rehire employee.
  • Updates on back end, remove access from certain features and functions without notification.
  • Reports go missing that are essential without notification.
  • Customer service Reps need to be extremely careful when making changes to rules and payroll changes cause issues with accounting in a huge negative way.
  • Payroll
  • Time
  • Time Clock
  • For blue collar company it makes time cards are important
  • Tracking Benefits
  • Payroll weekly
Isolved has more options and features that do not require calling customer service to complete special tasks. Whereas ADP doesn't grant access to many features needed for payroll.

Do you think isolved delivers good value for the price?

Did implementation of isolved go as expected?

No

Would you buy isolved again?

No

Enrollment and benefits are organized and ACA PRO makes tax part easy. Payroll tax is excellent makes it stress free and it always accurate if attention is need it is addressed by tax department ASAP. The W2, 945, and 1095 all are done on time and mailed out within 24-72 hours by FedEx for next day delivery. Strategic Team needs more training and need to have depth of customer knowledge, get to know your customer's company needs!!!!
