### "Long Time satisfied customer"

July 7, 2025

4.0

Although it takes much longer to get answers to questions, ADP is very good with requirements and regulations

Pros

Up to date with all regulations. When things change, ADP sends electronic communications to prepare.

Cons

No longer the personalized service I was once accustomed too. The is my biggest "beef" with ADP. I like it one I had one point of contact.

### "ADP review"

July 2, 2025

4.0

Overall the staff that is assigned to our account, for the most part, has been wonderful. We've only ever had issues with payroll personnel and that was due to turnover. Our HR rep has been the same for many years and we value her input and knowledge.

Pros

Ability to reach a person when needing assistance; willingness to work with us to resolve financial issues.

Cons

The payroll is not very user friendly and difficult to find reports; Too many emails sent that it's difficult to know when there is something to really pay attention to.

### "ADP is good partner"

July 3, 2025

5.0

Very good. Usually our representatives are top notch, but every so often we get a bad one. ADP usually figures this out and that person is quickly replaced.

Pros

ADP makes payroll processing an easy process. I can sleep at night knowing that everything is taken care of.

Cons

ADP should handle tasks that require more effort or are outside of our usual responsibilities, rather than expecting us to do them.

### "ADP Total Source for HR needs"

July 2, 2025

4.0

We were with ADP TS since 2017 and overall it was a great place to get all of our HR needs. In the end our Co. has downsized and the fees were not manageable.

Pros

I liked having specialized people do help with the different aspects of the business. I also liked for a majority of the time my HR and Payroll reps were very responsive and very helpful with all of our needs.

Cons

What I liked least is there was a portion of the time that my Payroll rep was not responsive at all.

### "User-friendly, but costs are becoming prohibitive"

March 19, 2026

4.0

Pros

The platform is very easy to use for staff. From the Admin perspective, it is also very user-friendly.

Cons

The cost is high for a nonprofit like ours. The market has other options for similar products for lower costs.

### "customer review"

July 7, 2025

4.0

not too bad, staff in the call center are not always well trained, gives different answers when you call

Pros

able to assist many areas in HR, benefits, time and attendance, leave management, custom reporting also is helpful

Cons

sometimes you cannot find your representatives to answer urgent questions and others do seem to be able to assist

### "Solid, reliable choice for Payroll / HR"

October 31, 2025

5.0

Overall, ADP provides a best-in-class offering of HR and Payroll capabilities, which can be scaled to size.

Pros

The design is user-friendly and there is a multitude of tools to choose from. The support is also resposive and professional.

Cons

There are some opportunities for improvement with making menu options more intuitive and reducing the click number

### "Efficient Platform, Uneven Service Experience"

July 7, 2025

3.0

ADP has made efforts to streamline processes, which I appreciated. However, their customer support has been inconsistent. My experience with HR Business Partners (HRBPs) varied widely—from an excellent HRBP and payroll advisor, to one who provided questionable guidance, and finally to a newer HRBP who frequently had to consult with senior staff before offering support, often resulting in delays.

Pros

Quick access to resources and forms. Processing payroll was smooth, and submitting a ticket was easy.

Cons

customer service response time was an issue. I would have to send multiple follow up emails, taking 5+ days for guidance.

### "ADP TotalSource lets me focus on my business..."

July 7, 2025

5.0

ADP TotalSource takes care of all my Payroll & HR needs so that I can focus on what my business does best!

Pros

The healthcare plans and health plan costs are better and below the cost of anything else we have been able to find for our business....which allows me to pass on these benefits to my employees.

Cons

My ERC submission is taking a VERY LONG time which is not ADP's fault, but would really like regular follow-up from them letting me know things are still progressing.

### "Good at first, until it wasn’t."

April 24, 2026

2.0

We have made the decision to partner with another PEO going forward. ADP TotalSource was not the right fit for us.

Pros

Lower benefits cost is the best thing about ADP TotalSource. We saved the company and our employees significant money.

Cons

The Time and Attendance feature is awful. It. Requires so much more work than other payroll company platforms.

### "Good and Not so Good"

March 27, 2025

3.0

50/50 What ADP does well it nails. I often am frustrated with the portal - where I need to go, why I can't get a phone call. Also, why can't you be transparent with fees?

Pros

The HR advise is priceless. There is no way I can stay on top of the changing labor laws by myself.

Cons

When you need something, rather than a call you get a link to a case. You have to go into your portal and if there are more questions, you email. I really want to have a conversation. Pricing is another sore spot. Why can't I get an itemized list of what my payment is covering - how much is unemployment, how much am I paying ADP for their service. Seems ADP doesn't want me to know what they cost.

I feel that the advisors are well trained and are very happy to help with any questions and concerns. I struggled with the payroll platform at first but with lots of help, I am now are certain that I can navigate thru payroll and benefits.

Pros

I like the one stop shop for all of our HR needs.

Cons

I wish there were more offerings for health insurance. I feel that ours is too high but when factored with all the other benefits, I will be happy to renew again and again.

### "Unsatisfied is an Understatement"

April 3, 2025

1.0

Not good at all. We were sold that this would be outsourced HR and instead we have to do everything on our own. Plus they are slow to respond to emails and often times provide inaccurate or incomplete information.

Pros

The website. Automation. Access to information

Cons

Our HR contact is complete unhelpful. We have to figure out everything on our own or they tell us to talk with an HR attorney. No guidance at all.

Product is very reliable and always tons of detail available. Very helpful employees always at your service..

ADP TotalSource was a great payroll tool. It was easy to navigate through the website. I would consider going back to them if the higher up management would agree.

Pros

ADP TotalSource is a great payroll tool. I like the ease of use and the availability of my records. I would highly recommend.

Cons

I didn't have any complaints about the system. If there was anything that I didn't like, I cannot think of it.
