### "Find a better HR platform if you can afford it"

February 6, 2020

1.0

ADP has made me realize there are far better HR services out there. It is serviceable, but not without a lot of grievances. If you find HR software, embrace it.

Pros

\- Affordable. If you have a large company, this is monetarily one of the cheaper options out there. - Mostly works. For your minimum needs, it will get the job done.

Cons

\- Terrible UI. After logging in, the home dash doesn't load dynamically. It sits there frozen for 5+ seconds, leaving you for a moment wondering if something is wrong. Navigating the menus are confusing, the inbox is completely unintuitive. Very few things respond the way you would expect from good design. - Archaic emails. Rather than providing you an easy link to whatever subject matter you're informed about, it instead, gives you completely text based instructions on how to navigate to what you need. - Employee lookup is a hassle. Trying to navigate who is in your organization, especially if it is a large one, is too much of a task. You will be far better off if you have another directory to refer to instead. - Buggy. The site will fail to work at times, throwing Java errors and timeouts, and only for individuals rather than server wide. No easily understandable reasons are given.

### "ADP employee usage"

October 12, 2022

4.0

With the latest updates it times out/shuts down at odd moments when trying to clock in and out sometimes.

### "Allows HR to service our employees almost hassle free now"

May 4, 2018

5.0

Pros

Workforce Now has empowered our employees the ability to handle the most common day to day requests such as PTO and benefits, largely on their own.

Cons

The initial setup process took us much longer than anticipated, like a couple months longer. Admittedly, our internal setup person was also doing her normal day to day so couldn't dedicate all her time to this process.

### "Amazing software for tracking salary"

October 24, 2022

3.0

Pros

This software is easy to use. We can easily track our monthly salaries, it gives a proper calculation of our tax deductions.

Cons

I think they should try to improve their graphical user interface as it's not up to the mark, apart from that they should try to improve the response time of the application.

### "ADP Workforce Now is the best!"

February 10, 2017

5.0

We use Workforce Now for just about everything- Payroll, HR, Talent, Benefits, Time & Attendance, and the Document Cloud. I can't say enough about the ease of use- it is very user friendly. But, if I can't figure something out I can always count on the customer service to be top notch and help me to find a solution. I appreciate that this product makes my job easier than it could be because everything is in one place. I don't know what I would do without it!

Pros

That everything is in one place and is very user friendly. I am a person of consistency and this product is very consistent and flows very easily. Also I like that ADP is very good at taking feedback for improvements and is constantly working to make the system better.

Cons

Only thing I can think of is getting used to changes to the system when they first happen, but there is enough training and warning when changes happen and I eventually get used to them.

### "Productive and efficient"

October 14, 2020

5.0

Workforce Now gas been an excellent program. I am recommending it to any future employers and my small business owners!! Everyone should have this program!!

Pros

The workforce software is very easy to navigate. It has all of the features listed in a detailed manner and it is so convenient. From the employee being able to input their hours each week, to being able to access check stubs and tax documents. It's all around an excellent program!!

Cons

There was absolutely nothing that I disliked about this software!! It has everything that an employee or employer may need!!

Employees can change almost anything in their employee profile without the assistance of an HR team

Cons

The mobile application doesn't have as much capability as a desktop browser

### "I found this app very straight forward to use and simple."

December 16, 2017

4.0

It was very simple and straight forward to use. Who doesn't have their phone on them? It's very simple to just pull out the phone to sign in and out rather than on paper or on a computer at home. Very convenient.

Pros

As previously stated, I found this software fairly straightforward. Obviously, it is nice not to have to manually input hours on the computer or on a sheet of paper. Simply establish the software and have employees download the app on their phone. It also has a GPS system to see where your phone is so that you don't "cheat the system". Clearly no system is perfect and anyone can cheat the system if they try, but it is nice that it is more direct and easier to keep people accountable. The location and time card settings are also straight forward with a decent amount of options. My work experience was very plain as far as signing in and out, but it is nice that there are other options if needed (different clock in options, as well as break and signing out options). Lastly, I didn't have many (if any) software problems on it. It didn't seem to ever have any problems or hiccups while logging hours. I used it for 2 years and never experienced any problems.

Cons

Obviously, it is a little bit annoying to have to literally sign in and out of breaks. But there really is no way around it. I often forgot to sign out for my lunch break until I actually sat down to eat. However, eventually signing out and back in for lunch break became a habit.

### "Convenient"

October 22, 2019

5.0

Overall, great and convenient. Easy way to do payroll electronically.

Pros

Easy way to clock in and out for hourly employees. Also easy to keep track of vacation, personal and sick days when using desktop version. Login with fingerprint on app.

Cons

App crashes often & also will clock in or out double which has to later be adjusted. Otherwise it works great.

### "The experience with ADP has been great! There is a lot of support throughout the implementation."

March 15, 2018

5.0

Pros

This software is very robust. Basically any feature that you could be looking for in an HRIS is available through ADP.

Cons

Because ADP is so robust, the capability of setting up every feature and utilizing it to its fullest capacity is limited. There are many facets that I wish we were utilizing, but haven't been able to explore yet.

Pros

It was easy to navigate and it was all in one spot and not hard to find

Cons

Sometimes it did load slow and other times it ran fine.

### "ADP managing teams"

January 8, 2019

4.0

Have used with previous companies I managed at as well as use now.

Pros

It actually is a great tool when it comes to being able to manage attendance, reviews etc. Will give you reminders and even lets you know when agents are out of adherence.

Cons

You have to pay for extra's. So like the pro's I gave curr are not part of the base package but additional.

### "Great software to stay organized "

January 6, 2022

5.0

Pros

I use ADP to keep track of employee records such as compensation, taxes, and I use it to keep track of employee holiday pay and PTO.

Cons

Sometimes it takes a while to login and glitches but other than that, no issues.

### "No support."

October 22, 2019

3.0

We use it for onboarding, hiring and recruiting of all employees.

Pros

Seems to have a very robust set of options and functionality. When demo'd by sales rep - looked very slick. Alot of "self-implementation" required with the level we purchased.

Cons

Expensive considering that we need to self-implement many of the solutions ourselves. Not a big fan of their support.

Alternatives considered

Recruiting power - which didn't work out.

### "Handy yet still has its problems"

February 8, 2021

4.0

Pros

Most processes are easy. It is nice to be able to clock in without having to actually use a physical time card and while walking into the work site. Also, despite not being a fan of how you have to request paid time off, ADP at least cuts down on the having to email multiple people to make such a request by having a place where you can request PTO.

Cons

The app is absolute garbage. It takes quite awhile to load pages. Logging in to clock in on a shift is a process that generally takes 1-2 minutes. Also, it is somewhat convoluted on how to request paid time off. ADP would’ve been better served to make integrate requesting PTO on specific days with each person’s time card.

February 8, 2022

I use this app with my current employer when it comes to benefits, pay and my hours

### "ADP Workforce Now"

December 7, 2021

5.0

Pros

I like how easy it is to log time and apply codes for the time logged. You can also add blank lines to days so if you need to log 4 hours under one code and 4 hours under another, there are ways to do it.

Cons

I don't like that I cannot change the time from vacation back to regular time worked after it's logged. Every once in a while I put the vacation on the wrong day and have to have HR change it for me. This could be how our company has it setup and may not be an issue for all.

### "A must for the workplace "

February 19, 2019

5.0

This program is super easy for employees to use at home or on the go. They can access and adjust their time cards away from the office which is helpful with forgetful employees.

Pros

It’s easy to navigate. Everything is all in one place. W-2, paystubs, hours worked, vacation, sick pay, etc. I like that I can also make changes to my contact info and tax claim status at any time. There are many features I can change and HR gets the notification immediately.

Cons

Sometimes there are glitches when I try and save my work hours.

### "To use or not - that is the question"

January 23, 2019

4.0

I love that WFN submits all payroll taxes, and creates the GL entry for easy copy/paste into our accounting system. I find it awkward jumping from current pay to current pay adjustments and remembering which things go in particular fields. Wish you could do all earnings in one tab, deductions in another. There is alot of information and reporting available to you but finding it and creating the report the first time is a bit of a hit & miss game. Luckily there support team to help with these things is great and they help walk you through. Also the online learning tool is quite useful and extensive.

Pros

If you have the full package - it is the perfect place for time, attendance, vacation, payroll tracking. ADP WFN team support is phenomenal.

Cons

payroll entry flow does not always follow a logical sequence

### "WFN Survey"

December 4, 2018

4.0

WFN allows me to have all the information I need in one place. Reporting, Benefits, Payroll, etc...

Pros

The navigation is easy to use. It's easy to train new hires. There are multiple areas to get where you want to go.

Cons

The settings I like don't stay. For example I like to see all employees all the time, but the system reverts back to "active employees"

### "Good recent updates to WorkforceNow"

April 8, 2019

4.0

Pros

WorkforceNow can manage a variety of tasks for employee information and creates a reporting structure and workflow to use in the system. Employees can access pay statements, time off balances that include pending time off, and team calendars. The system can also generate requirements for employees to review new policies, etc. and track responses.

Cons

Sometimes it was difficult to locate the item I was searching for, but I think the recent update to add a dashboard will alleviate this issue. Also, there were work-arounds needed for an employee to change their regular working hours, as an hourly employee. Otherwise, I have not had much trouble using this software.

### "Great payroll app"

June 19, 2020

4.0

I like this app. I've used other apps where you had to click on 5 different things to save one simple piece of the puzzle. The report search could use some work. Maybe have a cheat sheet telling us what report to run for common searches (such as birth dates).

Pros

Very simple to edit missed or incorrect punches. Most options/functions are self-explanatory. Easy to edit employees' information.

Cons

Maybe it's an option that my company chose not to add, but it would make attendance and punctuality tracking simpler if employees' schedules were entered in ADP. Then I'd be able to see absences, switched shifts, tardiness, leaving early, etc., without going old school and asking all the supervisors and comparing ADP to paper schedules. I do find that looking for a particular report is tricky. For instance, just today, I was trying to find a report that would show me all my employees' birth dates but couldn't find it.

### "ADP Workforce Now - Pros and Cons"

March 22, 2022

4.0

Pros

Very easy to use once set up is implemented. Tracking vacation and other policies very simple. Time and Attendance portion all Supervisors have access and very user friendly.

Cons

Reporting, each report provided by the system needs to be aligned with others to get a full payroll report. The reporting process could be much more user friendly for a payroll administrator. Also calling customer service tends to take a lot of time out of your day
