HM Heather M. HR Director Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Alliance saved us from ADP!" August 4, 2023 4.0 We have had a wonderful experience with Alliance. The transition from ADP was easy because of their knowledgeable implementation team. Pros Everything in the system is easy to use and understand. We have received the best support from our Customer Service representatives. They are knowledgeable, and quick to help with any questions or issues that we may have. Cons I wish Alliance had a more robust user guide in the system. Some items are covered in the help section, some are not. I think a better guide with more detail could help cut down on customer support calls/emails. Alternatives considered [Paycom](https://www.capterra.com/p/130949/Paycom/)[Paylocity](https://www.capterra.com/p/86714/WebPay/) Reason for choosing AllianceHCM The other products were more expensive. Switched from [ADP Workforce Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/155895/WorkforceNow/) ADP had the worst customer service. The system would go down often, and didn't calculate things correctly when processing payroll. Review Source Response from AllianceHCM August 10, 2023 We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with AllianceHCM and how we were able to make a positive impact after your transition from your previous provider. It's fantastic to know that everything within our system is user-friendly and intuitive, contributing to a smoother payroll and employee management process for your organization. We're proud of our customer service representatives for providing the best support and promptly addressing any questions or concerns you may have had. We appreciate your feedback about the user guide and understand the importance of having comprehensive resources available to our users. Your suggestion for a more detailed guide is valuable, and we'll certainly take it into consideration as we work to improve our offerings. It's also great to learn that the cost-effectiveness of AllianceHCM played a role in your decision, and we're glad we could provide you with a solution that met your needs without the added expense. Thank you for choosing us over other alternatives and for trusting our knowledgeable implementation team during the transition. Your positive experience fuels our commitment to providing excellent service. DE Darlene E. HR Manager Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Alliance Pros & Cons" July 27, 2023 3.0 I've been with them for years. Some days with Alliance is great, some days are just awful. Pros Easy to maneuver through and can teach yourself alot of the processes and reports. Cons Customer service is not that good. Follow up from Alliance is not good either. Errors on benefits setups and mapping happen quite often. Reason for choosing AllianceHCM It was here when I became employed. Good service up until a few years ago. Review Source Response from AllianceHCM August 12, 2023 We're glad to hear that you find our platform easy to navigate and that it has enabled you to learn various processes and generate reports independently. Empowering users to efficiently manage their tasks is a key goal for us. However, we're truly sorry to learn that you've experienced challenges with our customer service and follow-up. We understand the importance of prompt and effective support, and we apologize for any inconvenience you've faced. Errors on benefits setups and mapping can indeed be frustrating, and we appreciate your patience as we work to minimize these occurrences. Your feedback is invaluable as it guides us in refining our system to provide a more reliable and accurate service. It's also important to note that we recognize your loyalty as a long-term customer. We're sorry to hear that the quality of service has varied in recent years, and we're dedicated to regaining your trust and delivering a consistently positive experience. CF Cody F. Finance Director Biotechnology Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Rich in features, reasonable in cost, complex in setup" August 1, 2023 4.0 Good! Paychex booted us off all their electronic banking & direct deposit services with only a 30 day notice, and Alliance did a great job of meeting that turnaround time need and getting us payroll-functional by the time of our first live run. They've also done a good job getting our insurance & 401(k) setup working. I appreciate that the platform is modular so that we're not bundled into paying for a bunch of features we don't want for the sake of a few features we need. Pros The onboarding process, while difficult, was attended by a revolving door of staff (in the best way) who were able to adequately handle the division of labor and respond timely to technical errors. The ongoing support is also very high in quality, and there are live chat, phone call, and customer care team options to help with all the little things that arise (of which there are many, because this platform is very crunchy and has a massive feature suite). Cons The GL process has been pretty bad so far. We have a fairly simple chart of accounts, only a handful of cash accounts, and we use QBO for our accounting software. The lack of an easy-to-use API plugin (which is what we had with Paychex) is kind of baffling, and I was surprised to find that we as the end-user were tasked with interfacing with the QBO developer portal and assembling a compatible app for the GL import function (e.g. posting payroll journal entries). It's not the hardest thing in the world, but this request was sprung on us toward the end of implementation & this would be incredibly overwhelming for the technologically disinclined.

Review Source Response from AllianceHCM August 14, 2023 Thank you for sharing your comprehensive feedback on your experience with AllianceHCM. We truly value your insights and are committed to addressing your points in order to improve our platform and services. We're glad to know that our onboarding process, while challenging, was managed well by our responsive and capable staff. We apologize for any inconvenience you've experienced with the GL process. Your feedback on this aspect and the absence of an easy-to-use API plugin for QBO integration is noted. It's great to hear that our modular approach aligns well with your needs and allows you to access the features you require without unnecessary extras. Your feedback about our responsiveness during the transition and in setting up insurance and 401(k) services is greatly appreciated. If you have any further suggestions, concerns, or if there's anything specific you'd like assistance with, please don't hesitate to reach out. JM Janiene M. VP/Controller Restaurants Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My Review" August 1, 2023 4.0 Before - frustration and concern. Now - love ! Pros The program is so easy to use, quite intuitive. we had little if not training. just called when we needed help Cons the initial setup for us was difficult, the communication was lacking, we did not have the expertise to do this transition and relied on Alliance to guide us and ask the right questions. it was a lot of hit and miss. in the end our system is working properly, but the frustration was there and the feeling that we made a mistake was overwhelming Reason for choosing AllianceHCM Alliance is affiliated with Papa Johns Corp. so we trusted the product. Switched from [ADP Workforce Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/155895/WorkforceNow/) ADP was overly complicated. no personal touch. Price was too much for a company our size, we wanted all the bells and whistles but could keep it in budget. Review Source Response from AllianceHCM August 10, 2023 We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback about your experience with AllianceHCM. Your insights are incredibly valuable as they help us improve our services and support. We apologize for the challenges you faced during the initial setup phase. It's disappointing to hear that communication was lacking and that the transition process was not as smooth as expected. We understand the frustration this can cause, and we're committed to learning from this experience to enhance our guidance and support during onboarding. We're glad that despite the initial difficulties, your system is now functioning properly and that you're feeling positive about it. Transitioning to a new system can be a complex process, and we appreciate your patience as we worked together to address these issues. We understand your reasons for switching from your previous provider, and we're thrilled that you've found AllianceHCM to be a more personalized and budget-friendly solution for your company. EH Erin H. Employee Resources Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Love Alliance HCM" July 27, 2023 5.0 Pros This is a product I use daily. I have used other products for payroll and the ease of use of Alliance HCM is a huge reason I am still using the product. The team communicates well when new features are coming out or changes are being made.The customer service is also top-notch. Cons I would say the ACA component is what I like the least. I find it confusing each year and it is difficult to get clarification on issues that come up. Reason for choosing AllianceHCM My attendance on demand representatives encouraged me to give Alliance a shot. Switched from [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) I was not happy that I did not have the ability to make certain changes to my employee's pay information (ex: garnishments and child support). I was not able to put those in and when they were entered incorrectly it was difficult to get them fixed. Customer service was lacking. Review Source Response from AllianceHCM August 14, 2023 We appreciate your honest input about the ACA component. We understand that compliance can be complex, and we're continuously working to improve the clarity and user-friendliness of this aspect of Alliance HCM. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us enhance this area and make it more intuitive for users like you. It's great to learn that your attendance on demand representatives recommended Alliance HCM to you, and we're glad you decided to give us a try. We aim to provide a comprehensive solution that meets the needs of our users, and we're pleased that you've found value in our product. SH Sandra H. Payroll/Benefits Manager Restaurants Used the software for: 2+ years ### "AllianceHCM Review" July 27, 2023 5.0 Alliance is a phone call away as their customer service team is excellent through their continual assistance with report writing, product updates, enhancements I have been able to more all our companies to a more tech savy approach. When I first started with Alliance we were processing daily tasks manually. Alliance has helped me to move documents, driver's license, auto insurance, etc to more automation. This approach has saved us as an employer alot of valuable time that we can then concentrate and focus on other area. Pros The employee mypay portal is the section that I love the most. This portal allow me to sent TO-DO Items (driver's license renewal, auto insurance renewal) Updated Employee handbook acknowledgement. The system will send the reminder to the teram member and then record the document, download and save the pdf document. The team member can also send questions to our HR team. Gives us as an employer of an open door policy and the team members concerns and issues are addressed immediately. It is a great way to open communication to all of our team members regardless of the miles, cities or states we or they are located in. Cons We have mutiple companies and employee's are transferred in/out of companies alot. Our PTO plan is designed to pay PTO to certain job positions who average 30 hours or more (max of 40) per anniversary year.Consider the way we designed our PTO makes it a little more challenging when it comes to their anniversary year and pulling in all the hours worked across companies to then upload no less than 30 and no more that 40. Alliance has created reports to help facilitate the easiest way possible for us. Alternatives considered [Paycom](https://www.capterra.com/p/130949/Paycom/) Reason for choosing AllianceHCM Alliance team is always nice, helpful and will always help you no matter the issue or concern. Switched from [ADP Workforce Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/155895/WorkforceNow/) I was not apart of the team who made the decision to move from ADP to Alliance however I only know of the difficulties and challenges from when they were with ADP. Alliance is a complete package you can pick as little or as much as you want to us as the employer. Review Source Response from AllianceHCM August 12, 2023 Thank you for your detailed and positive review of AllianceHCM. We're thrilled to learn that our employee MyPay portal and other features have positively impacted your HR processes and communication with your team members.

KT Kelly T. Operations Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "We love Alliance " July 28, 2023 5.0 Pros What we like the most about Alliance is the ease of using the software to process bi-weekly payroll. Being able to have our PTO and Sick Time balances and accruals is very important to our company. We also like that Alliance files all of our taxes on our behalf with the exception of one state tax. Cons Our initial set up with Alliance was easy and streamlined. Customer Service is sometimes hard to receive a prompt answer from.

Human Resources Administrator Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great product for the price" August 1, 2023 4.0 Pros The biggest pro with AllianceHCM is the availability to access the different categories of the HR software package without much jumping around to different portals and when you go to a category like HR or Employee, you have the tabs of the other menu options under that category to have easier access instead of going back to the drop down menu. Cons Only major con I can see is a better integration between Swipeclock and Alliance when it comes to time off categories and the coding there so that they line up properly and when someone goes to submit time off in Alliance, it can translate to swipeclock without doubling the work. Alternatives considered [Paychex Flex](https://www.capterra.com/p/119841/Paychex-Flex/)[Paycor](https://www.capterra.com/p/133745/Paycor-Perform/) Reason for choosing AllianceHCM The cost for a very similar product was key. Review Source Response from AllianceHCM August 14, 2023 Thank you for sharing your feedback about AllianceHCM. We're delighted to hear that our accessible and cohesive interface, which allows you to navigate different categories of the HR software package seamlessly, has been a major advantage for you. We appreciate your honest input regarding the integration between AllianceHCM and Swipeclock, particularly in relation to time off categories and coding. Your feedback is invaluable as we work to enhance the synergy between the two platforms, ensuring a smoother experience for you and your team when managing time-off requests. We're pleased that our competitive pricing played a pivotal role in your decision to choose AllianceHCM over other options like Paycor and Paychex Flex. Providing value for our users is a priority for us, and we're glad that you've found our product to be a great fit for your needs. LB Linda B. Human Resources Manager Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great customer service and paperless onboarding." August 8, 2023 5.0 Fabulous customer service by well-trained Alliance staff and a straightforward online payroll system. Pros The payroll system and onboarding is easy to use. The customer service department is great, if I have a quetsion about something new there is always someone available to help me and the follow-up is excellent. Cons Part of me wishes Alliance could do everything for me, like employee benefits. But they are so good at what they currently do, perhaps they know it is better to specialize in what they do best. Reason for choosing AllianceHCM While shopping around, I felt like Alliance would take care of our needs and services. Also, we are a small business. At the end of the day, the owner wanted to support another small business with a workforce that was also in the Houston area. We also really do like our relationship with our insurance brokers office, so we did not need some of the extra services offered by ADP. Review Source Response from AllianceHCM August 10, 2023 Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with AllianceHCM. We're thrilled to hear that our customer service and paperless onboarding have made a positive impression on you. Our team takes great pride in providing assistance whenever needed and ensuring a smooth onboarding process. It's wonderful to know that you find our payroll system user-friendly and appreciate our commitment to specialization in our field. We're grateful for your support and your trust in us as your chosen partner. JG Julie G. HR & Operations Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Alliance: An Essential Business Partner" August 1, 2023 5.0 Pros As satisfied AllianceHCM customers for over a decade, we find the system easy to use and tailored to our needs. We appreciate their commitment to product innovation, led by a customer-focused approach. Utilizing AllianceHCM for payroll, onboarding, WOTC, benefits administration, ACA compliance, and time off management has been invaluable. As a Taco Bell franchisee, integration with our BOH system (SmartLynx) reduces store managers' administrative work. With our company growing from 150 to over 800 employees in the past 5 years, AllianceHCM remains an essential partner in our success. Cons While the ATS had many great features, it lacks many features offered by other vendors (text|chat to apply, automated interview scheduling, customizable career site). Review Source Response from AllianceHCM August 14, 2023 Thank you for sharing your remarkable journey with AllianceHCM. Your appreciation of our commitment to customer-focused product innovation is truly motivating. We're glad to have supported various aspects of your HR operations, including payroll, onboarding, benefits administration, ACA compliance, and time off management. It's fantastic to hear that our integration with your BOH system has streamlined administrative work for your store managers, especially as your company has experienced substantial growth. We acknowledge your feedback regarding the ATS and its features. While it's been a valuable tool for you, we understand that certain additional features like text/chat-to-apply, automated interview scheduling, and customizable career sites could further enhance your experience. CM Cori M. Regional Recruiter/HR Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Alliance HCM Product Review" July 27, 2023 4.0 Overall it has been ok. I wouldn't not say that it is exceptional customer service but all issues at this time have been resolved to my knowledge. Pros I especially like the ease of use of the program as a whole, although we do not use all of the functionalities available. The application and onboarding process is somewhat simple once you learn how to utilize it properly. I also like the HR area for maintaining documentation. Payroll functionality is relatively easy to learn and use as well. Cons The customer service is not always as speedy as one would expect. There are times when I present an issue and it takes a week for someone to contact me and in some instances I have not been contacted until reaching out multiple times. I also did not feel the initial setup and training in many areas was as in depth as it should have been. I personally had to figure out how to set up areas on my own or reach out multiple times to get it done. We also had some issues with the ATS setup process and getting our jobs to feed to indeed. All softwares will have glitches and problems and I think we have finally fixed the bugs but it was definitely a headache. Most customer service people specialize in one area only which also causes problems. I did have people giving me training that didn't even know how to work certain areas which was also frustrating. Reason for choosing AllianceHCM The Demo was great and sold our company on the product. Review Source Response from AllianceHCM August 12, 2023 Thank you for sharing your honest review of AllianceHCM. We're pleased that you find the program easy to use, particularly for payroll functionality and maintaining HR documentation.

We also acknowledge your concerns about the ATS setup process and your challenges with job feeds to platforms like Indeed. Glitches and technical hiccups can indeed be frustrating, and we're glad that we were able to resolve these issues for you, even though it took time and effort. Thank you for your feedback on the product demo that led you to choose AllianceHCM. We value your trust and are committed to improving your experience with us.

Payroll Coordinator Plastics Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Payroll Coordinator" July 27, 2023 4.0 Overall I am very satisfied with Alliance. I like that our employees can view their paystubs from an APP. I also like that it works well with SwipeClock. Pros Alliance has a lot of really useful features, and it can be used to track a lot of employee information and records. The customer service is incredible. If I ever need assistance or have an issue, it is usually resolved that day, but if not it is the next day. The person assigned to my ticket always follows up to make sure I am satisfied as well. Cons The only thing I don't like about Alliance is the reporting feature. Sometimes it can be difficult to write the type of report I need myself, but if I reach out to the helpdesk, they write the report and have it available for me in an incredibly timely manner. Reason for choosing AllianceHCM price, customer service, overall use and features Review Source Response from AllianceHCM August 12, 2023 Thank you for your thorough and positive review of AllianceHCM!

Finance Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "For your information" July 31, 2023 5.0 Pros Fast support with clear direction when needed. Cons We have had no major issues to speak of except on the initial setup we were not advised clearly on what date to use for the start date when opening all of the Unemployment tax accounts and that created problems that are haunting me to this day. Alternatives considered [BambooHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/110968/BambooHR/)[Secure QB Plug-In](https://www.capterra.com/p/172184/QuickBooks-Plugin/) Reason for choosing AllianceHCM Yall were most qualified to do the multi state using multiple projects and would handle payments for us. Switched from [ADP Workforce Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/155895/WorkforceNow/) They do not do multistate and the original use was through our CPA we moved away from her services. Review Source Response from AllianceHCM August 14, 2023 Thank you for providing your insights about your experience with AllianceHCM. We're pleased to hear that our support has been responsive and provided clear directions when needed. We apologize for any confusion during the initial setup process, particularly regarding the start date for opening Unemployment tax accounts.

Practice Administrator Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Can't function without it" July 27, 2023 5.0 It is awesome, awesome, awesome. Pros The payroll and employee profile function is by far the greatest part of Alliance. On top of that the customer service and knowledge of the staff there really help whenever I have an issue or not sure of what to do. Another great function is that they submit all the documents to TWC for us. Cons I can't think of anything that I don't like about AllianceHCM. Maybe I guess the help function could have FAQ's or directory of where to find a specific tab in case we forget could be helpful. Review Source Response from AllianceHCM August 12, 2023 We greatly appreciate your positive feedback and the time you've taken to share your thoughts about AllianceHCM! Submitting documents to TWC on your behalf is just one of the ways we strive to make your experience even smoother. It's rewarding to know that this feature has been beneficial for your organization. Your suggestion about adding a FAQ section or directory for locating specific tabs is valuable feedback. We're always looking for ways to improve and enhance our platform's user experience, and your input will certainly be taken into consideration. We understand that switching to a new platform can be a significant decision, and we're pleased that AllianceHCM has been able to meet your needs, especially in terms of tax calculations and payroll management.

Payroll Director Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Alliance- Processing all of your payroll needs! " August 1, 2023 5.0 Overall, we have had a good experience with Alliance and it has fit our payroll needs and employee files. Pros I like that Alliance is very user friendly. It is easy to use once you learn it and it is very easy to get reports created to compute the data that you need.
