All-Encompassing Solution for those who can live without a "White Glove" Payroll Experience

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: Overall positive, I prefer ADP over the 2 other payroll systems I've used, and the price is fair as well.

Pros:

Ease of processing payroll, and ability to contact customer service regularly to get custom reporting and resolve issues.

Cons:

Some solutions to issues are not obvious at all in the platform, and the only way to really learn is by talking with an ADP employee, and then learning it for next time. This can be a time-sink sometimes for smaller issues.

Review of ADP Comp Services

5.0 6 months ago

Comments: I enjoy ADP Comprehensive Services, but I wish you would consider getting more specialized in Government Contracting. I had to spend a lot of time working to customize the system for government compliance. It would be better if you had teams with specific experience in government contracting in HR and compliance.

Pros:

Everything I need is in one system and it is easy to understand once you take the time to learn the system.

Cons:

Setting it up and implementing the system. IT could be much easier. Implementation was not what I initially expected, it wasted a lot of time because it was not useful. You need to work out a way to go through implementation where it is not just about showing you what you can do, you should build in the time to actually set up and build the system.

Pros:

It is User friendly, it streamlines complex HR tasks making payroll process, benefits and reporting a lot easier.

The one thing I did not like was that they do not provide IT team come to our location to set up the clocks the assistance was done only via phone and it was time consuming and inconvenient.

ADP Comp Services - SRM

3.0 5 months ago

Comments: My overall experience with ADP is good. While it does have its challenges every system does. Overall, it works well for our company.

Pros:

I like the convenience of having everything in one place.

Cons:

I feel like the service team is hit or miss. Sometimes it feels like if you called in three times back-to-back you would get three different answers.

IMI Norgren LLC

4.0 6 months ago

Comments: Overall, the service has been good and worth the extra money. As our team has improved and become certified, I am beginning to feel that we have outgrown this product

Pros:

IMI contracted with comp services in 2016. With a small and inexperienced payroll group, we relied on our ADP service team to help us complete payrolls and stay in compliance

Cons:

the service/product is dependent on the talent level of your team. When we have had low talent, things did not go well. when talent gets better our service improves

I think it is easy to use. Everything seems very streamlined.

ADP Comprehensive Services

3.0 6 months ago

Comments: While the service addresses many essential HR needs, there are areas that need improvement. Overall I I am comfortable using the system.

Pros:

What I liked most about ADP Comprehensive Services was its integration of various HR functions into one platform, which helps simplify tasks. Customer support is generally responsive.

Cons:

What I liked least about ADP Comprehensive Services was the disruption caused during the implementation phase. While changes were made in the background, our team was not notified, leading to interruptions in our daily operations. When we inquired about these disruptions, there was a lack of accountability and communication.

Great service for all payroll and HR needs for small and large companies alike

5.0 5 months ago

Comments: Overall our experience with Comprehensive Services is very good. There is plenty of support and a wealth of information we have access to. Everybody at ADP is working hard to give the support we need and most smaller issues that come up are not disrupting our operation.

Pros:

It offers the full package for Payroll and HR services with almost unlimited options of tailoring to the companies needs. It works well when everything is set up and makes payroll and HR much easier to manage

Cons:

It is sometimes time consuming and a lengthier process to solve problems and find/fix the reasons behind some calculation errors or other issues that randomly appear.

Wonderful product, always improving!

5.0 5 months ago

Comments: As someone who came into a role with no instruction on ADP, I have found it very easy to get help with a simple phone call or to submit a case. The team is very responsive and makes sure follow up happens.

Pros:

I like that ADP is always improving. They take feedback and turn it into new products and processes.

Cons:

Sometimes I find it hard to find guides and support for certain processes without reaching out to a live person.

Great Service Team

4.0 5 months ago

Comments: Overall, the system is user friendly. There are a lot of resources available when you need help. I continue to have a good experience with ADP and would recommend.

Pros:

The ability to pick up the phone and get a human on the other end in seconds! When you need someone to pick up, they are always available immediately. Our payroll rep is top notch, always goes the extra mile for me.

Cons:

If you are fortunate enough to get a seasoned Team, they are amazing. We were given a new employee for almost a year for payroll, and it was a disaster. We have been solid now with an amazing Team after the switch, which we had to initiate.

Great Service for Greener Teams

5.0 5 months ago

Comments: It's great to have the additional support and I think the service can be really helpful for clients with less seasoned payroll teams; however, for clients with seasoned payroll teams who have experience running their own processes, it can be frustrating to wait for ADP to do tasks that can be done quicker on the client side.

Pros:

I like that we have the support of our dedicated ADP service team no matter what the challenge is.

Cons:

As someone who has used both Comp and Non-Comp Services, I find it challenging not to have the ability to process payroll (specifically running previews) or calculate manual checks.

Cons:

Pros:

I love HR Comp Services! It is so nice to have someone to bounce ideas off of and ask questions when you are the only HR practioner in a company.

Pros:

I enjoy the fast, up-to-date functionality of ADP that allows me to download data and generate comprehensive reports for whatever I need. The indicators and selection functions are easy to navigate, and the platform is very reliable.

Cons:

I think the ADP homepage is not fully utilized. The information provided is not the most useful, and the platform could do a better job of enhancing user-friendliness and making essential personal and functional information more visible.
