“It helps automate payroll, handle tax filings, and keep employee records organized, which reduces a lot of administrative work. While there are a few areas where the interface could be smoother, the reliability and support make it a dependable platform for managing payroll.“

Derek Z

OwnerManagement Consulting, Self-employedUsed the software for: Less than 6 months.

“For a platform backed by an HR giant, its built-in reporting features can feel surprisingly restrictive. While it handles basic payroll summaries perfectly fine, users frequently complain that customizing reports or trying to cross-reference specific data points is clunky. If your business requires highly specific, tailored analytics or non-standard reporting templates, RUN often feels like a rigid box that you can't easily tweak“

### "Great service. No complaints. "

June 29, 2026

5.0

Pros

I loved how easy it is to use RUN Powered by ADP whenever I do payroll. I use it in a browser when on my computer, and also the iOS app on my phone. The few times I've had questions, they are quick to answer and provide all of the info I need. I log in using an admin email and have given each of my employees access through their own so they can get their payroll info and forms.

Cons

I don't have any issues with RUN Powered by ADP. Its usage is great. The only thing that could be improved is the pricing. While it isn't the most expensive option, there are a few others out there that are cheaper.

### "A Great Payroll Solution for Small Businesses"

July 24, 2026

5.0

RUN Powered by ADP has been a valuable tool for our small business. It has helped us streamline payroll, stay compliant with tax requirements, and spend less time on administrative tasks so we can focus on running our business. The platform is user-friendly, dependable, and provides good value for the services included. While there is room for improvement with reporting options and the cost of add-on features, it's been a dependable solution that we would recommend to other small businesses looking for an easy-to-use payroll system.

Pros

As a small business, we need payroll to be accurate, efficient, and easy to manage, and RUN Powered by ADP delivers. Processing payroll is quick, tax filings are handled automatically, and direct deposit makes payday simple for our employees. The platform is easy to learn, and having payroll, employee records, and basic HR tools in one place saves us valuable time. Whenever we've contacted customer support, they've been helpful and responsive. It is easy to communicate with customer support whenever we have needed to and they are very responsive.

Cons

Some features that would be useful for a growing small business, such as more advanced HR tools and reporting, require additional subscriptions. We'd also like to see more flexibility in customizing reports and occasional improvements to the platform's speed during busy payroll periods.

Reason for choosing RUN Powered by ADP

I have used ADP before as an employee for another company and I liked how easy the system was to use, so I looked into it for my own small business when we opened.

### "managing director "

June 4, 2026

1.0

Worse ever experience. I am so disgusted and disappointed that I ran out of words to describe and express how I feel about switching to ADP

Pros

So far worse service. Very disappointing with the staff \[sensitive content hidden\] and Manager \[sensitive content hidden\] . \[sensitive content hidden\] is so rude and unprofessional, I have left her so many messages on her direct line but she didn’t call me once to fix the issue. The issue still remains unresolved

Cons

The way they treat their customers. No consideration. Lies and fake promises to get the business. I was promised unlimited access to job board platforms including zip recruiter and indeed for viewing and posting, unfortunately none of them work and we are losing so much business. Not only that never hear from any one that they don’t receive emails. For 3 weeks I was given a run around because \[sensitive content hidden\] said they are not receiving any emails from our firm.

### "MyADP Experience"

April 20, 2026

2.0

Our overall experience did not meet expectations, particularly given the critical nature of payroll. Communication was often reactive rather than proactive, which made managing employee expectations difficult when issues arose. There was also misalignment between sales and support teams regarding included services, resulting in avoidable follow-up and delays. Organizations that require highly reliable payroll execution, fast resolution, and proactive support should carefully evaluate whether ADP meets those needs. In general, the RUN and Timekeeping Plus products are limited compared to our prior provider.

Pros

ADP is a well-established provider with a broad payroll and HR offering. The Chat icon is one of the best futures of RUN. Using this chat feature, I was able to complete my second payroll with ADP without any assistance or guidance from the Implementation Team.

Cons

Payroll reliability and service responsiveness were ongoing concerns. We experienced payroll funding timing issues despite submitting everything accurately and on time, along with inconsistent guidance from different departments. Customer support often involved long hold times, unreturned messages, and unclear ownership for time-sensitive issues. Additionally, the platform lacked functionality we previously had with another provider, including more flexible reporting, document management with e-signature, seamless data integrations, and timekeeping controls and administrative visibility are limited.

July 8, 2026

RUN makes running my payroll simple, quick and I can access it from my phone on the go if necessary. It is intuitive to use!

Pros

Customer Support! Whenever I need help they are a chat away, and when a phone call is needed the support staff is there to take my call. No wait times!

Cons

I have not found any cons. I have been using RUN for 18 months now and have never had any issues at all.

### "Great for small business and compliance"

July 17, 2026

4.0

Overall we considered using Gusto, Rippling, and Square but ADP provided by far the best value and solution to just running payroll, getting workers comp at a very competitive rate, and filing all our compliance paperwork. For a new small business not needing a comprehensive HR platform it ended up being a very easy decision when comparing packages.

Pros

The sales process was great, our rep was friendly and very helpful in helping us understand what we need to do for payroll as a new business. They even sent us links to what we need to signup with our state before committing to using ADP. As a small business we just needed a solution to do one thing which is run payroll and stay in compliance which is what RUN by ADP offers.

Cons

The platform feels a bit dated and the implementation can get a bit bumpy with employees needed to onboard first before accessing the platform and the workers comp handled sort of on the side but in the end reps are there to help and get things moving.

### "Excellent customer service and support from start to finish."

June 15, 2026

5.0

Pros

I had a great experience with ADP. The representative took the time to walk me through everything step by step and made sure I understood the process. As someone who has never set up payroll before, I really appreciated their patience and willingness to answer all of my questions. I never felt rushed, and they made what seemed overwhelming feel manageable. Excellent customer service and support from start to finish.

Cons

The only downside for me was the cost. As a small startup business, payroll services are a significant expense, and I wish there were more affordable options for businesses just getting started. That said, the level of support and guidance I received was excellent and helped make the investment worthwhile.

### "Straight forward platform for processing payroll"

June 22, 2026

5.0

No issues since implementation. Customer support has been great when needed. As we get larger with more employees, we will test how user friendly it will be.

Pros

Straight forward platform that makes HR management user friendly. Would recommend for businesses that need a simple platform.

Cons

Wish we could make a favorites tab on the lower side menu that is easier to access for "W2, 1099 reports" or payroll reports.

Our overall experience has been great. We saved money on our processing and workers comp and we are able to utilize the platform independently.

Pros

The user friendly platform that allows us to run independently and not spend hours on the phone when we need reports or corrections. Also, the job listing support offered in our companies package is great as we are in a high turn over industry.

Cons

We have no complaints using this platform has been great. The only frustration we have is the abundance of sales calls and email we get.

Jackie has been fantastic, I get my calls and a reminder when our 60 days is up due to the transfer. We did have one issue with the transition due to our bank blocking the payroll processing fees and she was able to resolve that quickly.

Pros

I have used ADP for years, I personally find it easy to use and, very straight forward and I cannot think of a time that I had an actual issue with it.

Cons

I really do not have any issues with RUN ADP, the cost can be higher but you do have more options for your company.

### "RUN is a great product"

March 6, 2026

5.0

I’ve had a great experience using RUN Powered by ADP for payroll. The software is streamlined, intuitive, and very easy to use. ADP makes payroll a simple and well-organized task, which saves a lot of time. I also really like the look and feel of the layout—it’s clean and easy to navigate. On top of that, the customer service is excellent. The chat representatives are knowledgeable, responsive, and easy to communicate with, and they provide clear guidance whenever I’ve needed help. I highly recommend ADP to anyone looking for a smooth and reliable payroll solution.

Pros

streamlined, intuitive, and very user-friendly, which is especially valuable for small business owners who may not have a dedicated payroll or HR department. The layout is clean and organized, making it simple to move through each payroll step without confusion. Once everything is set up, running payroll becomes a quick and efficient task that can be completed with confidence. I also appreciate the strong customer support—when questions come up, the chat representatives are knowledgeable, responsive, and easy to communicate with. Overall, the system removes much of the stress from payroll and helps keep everything accurate and organized.

Cons

One aspect that could be improved in RUN Powered by ADP is the navigation menu on the left side of the screen. While it’s helpful that the platform offers so many features and tools, the number of options in the menu can sometimes feel overwhelming. For users who only need the core payroll functions, the long list of menu items can make it a little harder to quickly find the most commonly used sections. A more simplified or customizable menu—where users could hide features they don’t use regularly—would make the interface even easier to navigate. That said, once you become familiar with the layout, it becomes easier to move around the system.

### "ADP has been exactly what I needed!"

February 18, 2026

5.0

My overall experience with ADP has been positive. The platform is user-friendly and makes payroll processing efficient and organized. I appreciate the automated tax calculations and filings, which help ensure compliance and reduce the risk of errors. The reporting features are clear and detailed, making it easy to track payroll expenses and employee information. Customer support has also been responsive when assistance is needed. Overall, RUN Powered by ADP has been a reliable payroll solution for managing business operations effectively.

Pros

We have had a very positive experience using ADP for our business operations. The platform is extremely user-friendly, well-organized, and easy to navigate, even for those who may not be highly technical. From the initial setup to ongoing use, the system has been straightforward and efficient. One of the biggest benefits of ADP is how many administrative tasks they handle on our behalf. Payroll processing is smooth and reliable, tax calculations and filings are managed accurately, and compliance requirements are addressed without us having to constantly monitor every regulation change. This has significantly reduced the amount of time and stress associated with managing payroll and HR responsibilities internally. The reporting features are also helpful, providing clear records and documentation when needed for accounting, audits, or internal review. Having everything centralized in one system has improved our overall organization and workflow. Overall, ADP has streamlined our back-office operations and allowed us to focus more on growing and managing our business rather than getting caught up in administrative tasks. It has been a dependable and valuable solution for our company.

Cons

While the organization contracts certain services through external entities, the coordination and communication surrounding these arrangements can be challenging. At times, the process lacks clarity, making it difficult to fully understand the steps involved or determine the appropriate point of contact. Additionally, reaching the correct representative for specific inquiries can be time-consuming, which may delay resolution. Improved transparency and streamlined communication would significantly enhance the overall experience.

The product has perform well servicing my small business payroll need. I have not had any issues completing my payroll task. Overall, it is very well-rounded product.

Pros

The product is easy to use and implement when a small business decides to use it for their payroll needs. It provides plenty of features that meet all of our small business needs and it the ability to scale up as the business grows. The price seems reasonable although we are not fan of subscription-based services. The support is great and has always been able to resolve my issues or guide to any questions I might have.

Cons

I really do not have any negative issues about RUN. The product has performed as expected, if not even better. If I had to choose something, even though it might fell cliched, it would be the pricing.

### "Growth-Focused, Support-Centered"

February 13, 2026

5.0

Overall, my experience has exceeded my expectations. I was initially hesitant about making the switch, but I am genuinely glad I did. The onboarding process was smooth, the support was hands-on and responsive, and the platform has proven to be reliable and well-suited for a growing small business. When my ADP representative, \[sensitive content hidden\], reached out to reconnect and walk me through RUN Powered by ADP, the conversation immediately put me at ease. He took the time to thoroughly demonstrate the platform’s enhancements and the thoughtful updates ADP has made to better support small businesses. What began as a cautious transition quickly evolved into a meaningful operational upgrade. RUN Powered by ADP delivers the structure, functionality, and support I need with confidence. While my previous provider was adequate, the overall functionality, scalability, and personalized support ADP offers clearly distinguish it from competitors. Since making the switch, I have already recommended ADP to a colleague in my industry and fully expect to continue doing so. ADP is not just a leader in enterprise payroll solutions; it has proven itself equally strong and supportive for small and growing businesses.

Pros

What I appreciate most about RUN Powered by ADP is the level of dedicated support and the platform’s small-business-friendly upgrades. The transition felt intimidating at first, but having a knowledgeable point of contact made all the difference. My ADP representative, \[sensitive content hidden\], personally walked me through my first two payroll runs, ensuring accuracy and building my confidence with the system. I also value the platform’s flexibility. It offers automation capabilities while still allowing me to remain hands-on when I choose. The system is robust, reliable, and clearly built with scalability in mind, which is important as my business continues to grow.

Cons

Visually, the interface is more basic and corporate compared to my previous provider. My former payroll system had a brighter, more modern design that felt inviting and intuitive. ADP’s interface is clean and functional, but less visually engaging. Additionally, activating the automatic payroll feature requires involvement from another team rather than allowing the account holder to toggle it independently. My previous provider allowed users to activate or deactivate automatic payroll themselves, so ADP’s process feels like an unnecessary extra step.

### "New Employer for a year"

March 16, 2026

4.0

My overall experience with RUN Powered by ADP has been positive. The platform is intuitive and helps simplify payroll processing, tax filing, and employee management in one system. I appreciate how it automates many payroll tasks, which saves time and reduces the risk of errors. The reporting features and real-time access to payroll data also make it easier to monitor and manage financial information. While there can be a small learning curve when using some of the advanced features, overall the system is reliable, efficient, and helpful for managing payroll and HR-related activities.

Pros

What I liked most about RUN Powered by ADP is its user-friendly interface and the way it simplifies payroll management. The platform makes it easy to process payroll, manage employee information, and handle tax filings in one place. I also appreciate the automation features and compliance support, which help reduce errors and save time for businesses. Additionally, the reporting tools and real-time access to payroll data make it easier to monitor financial information and make informed decisions. Overall, RUN Powered by ADP provides an efficient and reliable solution for managing payroll and HR tasks.

Cons

What I liked least about RUN Powered by ADP is that some advanced features and reports can take a little time to learn for new users. While the platform is generally user-friendly, navigating certain settings or customizing reports may require additional guidance or training initially. However, once users become familiar with the system, it becomes much easier to manage payroll and HR tasks efficiently.

### "Overall great experience with great people"

December 16, 2025

5.0

Overall, I'm very happy with it. It's been easy to use and a lot of communication, which is important to me.

Pros

It's very easy to use as the employer and employee. I like that I have a lot of control over things and pretty easy communication with any help I need. Every customer service rep is very helpful. Most of all, I love my rep - \[sensitive content hidden\]

Cons

ZipRecruiter doesn't get a ton of applicants. The pay structure doesn't work for sales companies very well - I have to onboard people as salary or hourly, even though they're not paid that way. This shows up on their check stub, which can be an issue. I also get really frustrated with the message that pops up every time I enter pay asking if I meant to pay the person that amount. It takes extra time and messes up the flow of entering payroll. I find the 401k website difficult to navigate and manage. It feels outdated, I can't usually find what I need.

### "Average and cumbersom"

February 23, 2026

4.0

It works but I am not impressed. Better than QBO payroll, but it is as if it was developed in one try and what came out is what was used rather than refining the software to optimize user interface and experience. It is heavily cumbersom to use and requires a strong internet signal making it slow.

Pros

Makes payroll simpler than QBO, specifically the app on the phone for the employees to log time with.

Cons

Not intuitive, website is clunky and difficult to get to what is needed. Managing the team in time management is not a button but a small word off of the menu. This is a key function and should not be hidden this way

### "Reentry of Employees "

March 24, 2026

5.0

The system is pretty straightforward. Again, the only issue is transferring employees (which have to be manually reentered).

Pros

The software is innovative in that it has a plethora of data and information easily accessible (most of the time). Any issues are resolved quickly.

Cons

The transfer of employees is somewhat mundane in nature, being that they have to be reentered manually. This heightens the likelihood of errors.

January 12, 2026

5.0

My overall experience has been very positive. RUN Powered by ADP streamlines payroll and HR tasks, making them stress-free and efficient. The system feels reliable, well-organized, and designed with the user in mind, which gives me confidence that payroll is being handled accurately.

Pros

RUN Powered by ADP is extremely user-friendly and intuitive. The platform makes payroll processing quick and straightforward, even for users without extensive payroll experience. I especially like how clearly everything is laid out, from employee information to tax filings, which saves time and reduces errors.

Cons

There isn’t much to dislike. Occasionally, some advanced features require a bit of exploration to fully understand, but overall the system is very easy to navigate and learn.

We made the switch from Heartland to ADP because ADP offers a more user-friendly and intuitive platform. The payroll process is simpler, faster, and easier to manage, which saves time and reduces the chance of errors. ADP also provides more reliable support and better overall tools for managing payroll and employee information, making it a better fit for our needs.

### "Great versatility and well rounded service options"

March 16, 2026

4.0

satisfied with ease of use, and responsiveness of customer service staff, also we love all the additional service options such as HR, and compliance monitoring

Pros

Customer support is very responsive, kind and knowledgeable about the product. Payroll is easy to run, and access for my employees to update their own information is superior to previous programs I have used. Overall would recommend the ADP payroll/RUN system. I do have a couple complaints regarding customization of alerts, and inputting time off for employees - but they have given me work arounds while they see if the programing can be updated.

Cons

I can't customize meal break times, which causes daily alerts that are unneeded. I can't input call offs on the timecard, I have to do at payroll processing or through PTO request screen.

April 1, 2026

5.0

In addition, if I ever run into a problem, their customer service is excellent and always able to walk me through anything quickly and clearly. Overall, it has been a reliable and supportive tool that makes payroll much less stressful.

Pros

The RUN platform has been incredibly easy to use and has made payroll so much more manageable. I really appreciate how convenient it is to access and complete payroll on my own schedule, which is especially helpful during busy weeks. The platform is clear, efficient, and takes a lot of the stress out of payroll processing. It has truly made this part of my job easier and more flexible.

Cons

I truly can’t think of anything I dislike about the RUN platform. It has been a very positive experience from start to finish. The platform is simple to use, dependable, and makes payroll easy to manage.

They caused a critical issue, and they did not resolve it to the best of their ability. They did not even acknowledge that they created the issue.

### "Reliable Payroll & HR Platform for Growing Teams"

May 11, 2026

4.0

Overall, my experience with RUN Powered by ADP has been positive. It offers good value for the money because it combines payroll, employee management, and time tracking into one system that is fairly easy to use. The implementation process was manageable, and the tools helped keep things organized and efficient. I appreciate that the platform is accessible on mobile devices and that it supports businesses that need dependable payroll and HR features without making the process overly complicated. It has been a reliable solution overall and a helpful system to work with.

Pros

What I liked most about RUN Powered by ADP is how easy it makes payroll and employee management, especially for busy businesses that need something simple but still professional. The setup process was smooth, and the devices that were sent worked well and made clock-ins and tracking more convenient. I also liked having mobile access because it allowed me to check things quickly without always needing to be at a computer. The platform is user-friendly overall, and customer support was helpful whenever I had questions or needed assistance.

Cons

One thing I liked least was that there can occasionally be small glitches or delays in the system, especially when navigating between features. Some areas of the platform could also be a little more modern or streamlined for first-time users. While customer support was helpful, response times sometimes depended on how busy they were.

### "Great service, great product, happy with our transition! "

March 4, 2026

5.0

Overall it has been a good transition that we made a few years ago. I am constantly working within it and find its ease of use one of its biggest features.

Pros

I like that it is user friendly, straight-forward, and any time I have needed help from customer service, its always been informative and staff members are always top notch.

Cons

I would love to see more specificity in some of the reports (being able calculate specific fica deductions) and I wish there scheduling software better met the needs of our practice so we could utilize it all. Sometimes the app is glitchy. This is me being picky though, it does really well overall.
