Donald: Yes, I'm Donald. I work with Gardner-Webb University as a standardized patient, and I would rate the ADP software with the five stars out of five stars. The previous software that was being used, it wasn't as quick and easy as the ADP. It was outdated, and so people were having trouble getting everything submitted for hours, and so there was an issue with just the software not really being updated frequently that we had. So, ADP was something that was being updated frequently and was easier to use than the old software. We chose ADP Workforce software because it was something that had great reviews, it was being used by other companies, and we did some research on it to figure out that the ADP was being reviewed very well, and that it seemed to be a decent program that could provide everything we needed as far as being able to submit the times, being able to keep track of the different people that were working and that. So, it seemed to me more convenient, have great reviews, and was being used by a lot of other companies based on searches done on the ADP software. It's very easy for it to be integrated. Once it was set up, then we were able to access it very quick and easy. The information provided and the app itself was easy to fall along with and didn't take very long for everybody to get adjusted and acclimated to it. I highly recommend ADP Workforce. I think it would be great for others to use because of easy access, navigation is great. It's something that doesn't have a lot of issues like troubleshooting problems. It seems to function very well, and I've not had any issues with it. So, I definitely recommend that. I'd say the others should use it for the ease of access and the functioning of it.

Toni Y.: Hi, I'm Toni. I am an enterprise account executive. My rating of Performio will be a five. And if you'd like to see more reviews like this one, please click below. Okay. I use Performio for a number of things, particularly to look for my performance and I also use it regularly to see how much income I will make against my target this month or this quarter. I use it as a means to compare what I am against previous month's quarters, and it gives me an idea of the income that I am getting on an average as well. What I like most about Performio is it is very easy to use. It's very simple. It is very [inaudible 00:00:48] intuitive, and the usage is very simple. It's very graphical, very visual. You don't have to think too much about it. And it's very easy to use. I haven't really actually found anything that I don't like about it. Everything that has been that I have found in it has been really useful. And not only have I found it useful, actually, it's quite inviting into using it. It makes your life simple. I haven't found anything really in there that I would say, "No, this is a waste of time." No, absolutely not. I think everything is good.
