### "Great value simple process"

May 4, 2026

5.0

Overall no complaints, set up was simple, and if there was a question, representatives were pretty easy to contact and responded quickly. Value can't be beat and now they're adding in bill pay and get paid under the same subscription, no add-on expense

Pros

Ease of migration from another provider, Customer support was outstanding. Setting up and running payroll is quick and simple

Cons

integration with accounting software was little confusing when som options listed were not in my chart of accouns Would like to see billing done on a monthly basis rather that invoicing after each payroll is ran

Cost was the major issue and having extra days to arrpove payroll and still make direct deposit deadline

### "ADP Payroll "

April 8, 2026

4.0

Good, it is easy to use and customer service is easy to get a hold of if you need. Would recommend to other business owners.

Pros

It is easy to use and straight forward. You can simply input your employees time and it calculates everything for you even time for overtime options and vacation.

Cons

I would like there to be an additional email reminder to run payroll. They send you one on the Sunday before the Thursday that you need to run it. A text message would even be better on Thursday at 12pm so that you don't miss the cut off.

### "Reliable Payroll Solution for Small Businesses with Room for Improvement"

April 1, 2026

5.0

Overall, RUN Powered by ADP is a trustworthy payroll solution that does its core job well. It’s particularly strong in compliance, accuracy, and peace of mind for small businesses. While it may not be the most modern or flexible platform on the market, it remains a solid choice for organizations that prioritize reliability over customization and advanced features.

Pros

Consistent payroll accuracy and reliability Strong tax compliance and regulatory support Trusted brand with long‑standing industry experience Good customer support for payroll‑related issues Suitable for small businesses with straightforward payroll needs

Cons

User interface feels outdated Limited customization in reports and workflows Pricing can be high compared to competitors Some processes require support involvement instead of self‑service Not as flexible for growing or complex organizations

The convenience of features and the user-friendly layout also contribute to the overall positive experience with the platform. 10 of 10

Pros

appreciate the ease of use and user-friendly features of RUN Powered by ADP. The platform is designed to be intuitive, allowing users to navigate and manage payroll efficiently.

Cons

tax filings and payments feature is particularly valued, as it reduces the risk of errors and saves time. Additionally, the ability to chat with experts online

### "Best payroll Company"

March 11, 2026

5.0

Its been great since day one. Very easy to navigate user friendly. I love having workers comp and payroll in one makes it so easy.

Pros

Its so easy to navigate. I don't really like computers but ADP makes it user friendly. They have workers comp and payroll together which makes it easy. They also have me the best deal in workers comp.

Cons

I honestly haven't found any thing that I hate. On the payroll I wish my employees hourly rate would stay instead of having to add every week.

March 12, 2026

4.0

I don't know of a better system but if your business isn't at a desk this is pretty awkward. it's not very intuitive.

Pros

easy once you find the right tab. if you are not an HR person finding the right tab is a hunt. people are responsive to help.

Cons

not all of the things are easily found if you don't know where to look. I spend a lot of time hunting for things.

### "Dont go with ADP"

February 19, 2026

2.0

Not that great! I've worked with ADP for 6 years now and have had problem after problem and I'm not sure why i've stayed as long as i have

Pros

It is a simple platform to run payroll, not too hard to learn. The W2s and paying 1099s are definitely easy

Cons

The communication between the workers comp and payroll and ira are not too good. I've just now shut down the workers comp because my rep was horrible, let our policy lapse and I have tons of unanswered emails.

### "small business using RUN powered by ADP "

March 3, 2026

4.0

Simply, easy, seamless, does the trick every time. I'm greatly to have this tool so that we can focus on other aspects of our business.

Pros

A knowledgable ADP employee is always available to help via phone with any question I might have running payroll for our small business. The process is so easy and makes it easy for us as a business to stay on top of payroll and keep in compliance with shifting laws and regulations

Cons

We definitely pay for this service, although the peace of mind resulting from having ADP support is priceless.

My overall experience with RUN Powered by ADP has been positive. The platform is intuitive, reliable, and designed to simplify payroll and employee management. I found the system easy to navigate, and the automated features helped reduce manual work while improving accuracy. Overall, it provided a smooth and efficient payroll experience.

Pros

What I appreciated most about RUN Powered by ADP was its user-friendly interface and streamlined payroll processing. The platform made it easy to manage employee data, run payroll efficiently, and access reports quickly. Its automation features and compliance support added real value by reducing manual effort and ensuring accuracy.

Cons

While RUN Powered by ADP offers many helpful features, one area I found less intuitive was the navigation between payroll functions and reporting tools. At times, the interface felt a bit segmented, requiring extra steps to access commonly used features. Streamlining those workflows could enhance overall efficiency.

### "ADP review 2026"

March 10, 2026

4.0

Pros

Everything is there at the Homepage, fast and easy to use, good guides among the search bars, important things are at the front, warning signals, and what to do is listed at the notification.

Cons

Too many login portals, employees, administrators, and accountants, and I found my login in employee sections rather than the accountant section, can't tell which one the use, and poor guiding in that area. I could login both, but only accountant section has no administration page, I got confused until I login the employee section.

### "Highly Satisfied"

February 6, 2026

4.0

Overall, I am happy with the experience. I didn't want to make the change, but my accounting firm didn't want to manage payroll taxes any longer and I had to. Now that is is up and running, it is easy and I am glad to use them.

Pros

The sales rep was great as well as the training session. Once it is setup and ready to go, the product is really easy to use. It made running payroll fast and thorough. The price is comparable to the accounting firm I was using.

Cons

I have one employee and I had to provide 14 different payroll reports. The process was finalized in time for the next payroll date, so I was going to have to redo all 14 of them. We ended up moving the process to the first of the year instead so I didn't have to do the reports.

### "Excellent Payroll Processing System"

April 16, 2026

5.0

A good experience, especially for producing reports that are needed infrequently such as the insurance audit package and employee W-2. Not always easy to navigate but in the end very helpful.

Pros

Very easy to use system after the initial training. For questions that come up later the chat function is very helpful and when needed I have even talked to a live person.

Cons

Once in a while, after keying in the payroll hours, the option to Preview Payroll does not appear. Then I select Finish Later and come back to payroll to find the Preview Payroll option.

### "ADP RUN Easy"

March 2, 2026

5.0

My overall experience with the software has been easy to use and easy to learn. I started with ADP workforce and changes to ADP RUN, and I find ADP run more user friendly.

Pros

I like RUN because its incredibly easy to use and user friendly. I've essentially never encountered any issues at this point.

Cons

I would like when employees register , the paperless mode should be set to off . Its hard enough to get employees to even register.

Pros

Easy to use system. I wear too many hats and it helps to process the payroll in a matter of minute or two. Been a used for 10 years - cannot imagine working with anything else. Excellent customer support.

Cons

I never used any other payroll processing system and have nothing to compare with. It works how id imagine it should.

December 17, 2025

4.0

RUN is intuitive, with a clean layout and straightforward steps for payroll processing. I haven't had a bad experience at all.

Pros

I like how user friendly it is. I like how it automates tax filings, direct deposits, and compliance updates, reducing the risk of errors and saving time.

Cons

RUN doesn’t fully cover complex HR needs such as advanced performance management or deep employee engagement tools.

### "Review on ADP "

January 28, 2026

5.0

Overall, i like it. Like I mentioned previous, it is convenient and easy for me to have access online. I don't have to wait for the representative to send it to me and so forth.

Pros

It is convenient, easy and user friendly. Most important to me is that I can go online and print out any pay stub details I need without having to wait for a representative to look into it and send it.

Cons

The biggest challenge for me is the password.. with everything going on nowaday, it is an additional pw i have to remember.

### "Pretty Decent Product"

February 26, 2026

4.0

My overall experience with RUN has been very good. There are features on the timeclock side that II fill are missing but overall it's a good product

Pros

I like the price and the availability of customer service. It's not hard to get answer to questions, when they arise.

Cons

I thought I was getting features that I recently found out were not available to me because of the tier we purchased. Since I have less than 25 employees I can not update to the higher tier.

### "I recommend this program"

September 15, 2025

4.0

overall, it is a good program but could be improved by better communication between the departments at ADP

Pros

the software program is great - comprehensive and easy to use, good value for the cost, and once we were set up there are relatively few problems

Cons

the human side isn't as good - when things go a bit sideways, communication between customer service people at ADP can sometimes make it difficult to get on track -- luckily most of the time a single contact can solve the problem

### "10/10 Would Recommend"

April 13, 2026

5.0

Exceedingly happy with RUN. it’s an investment, but worth it for all the time is saves me on running payroll, calculating hours for employees, and the tax preparation.

Pros

RUN has been invaluable in setting up payroll and time clocking for my employees. It’s easy to use, but part of that is due to the amazing customer service provided by the team at ADP, available to assist with any issues and walk through all the systems.

Cons

I haven’t run into any issues yet, as my business is relatively new, however, the team is timely in responses, so I know they’ll be able to address any that arise.

### "RUN Review"

February 11, 2026

4.0

It has been pretty good. Again, would like a more dedicated support line rather than go through all the AI stuff.

Pros

It is mostly user friendly and accurate. Reporting provides good analytics and are reasonably easy to run.

Cons

Not being able to make payroll adjustments during the "preview" -- have to back out, make change and preview again. Support is not great. I-9 check being added so late -- and it does not seem to work consistently.

September 17, 2025

For the most part, it's a very easy to use payroll processing tool and easy to onboard new hires. Very easy to use.

Pros

Very easy to pick up and intuitive tools. Vast amount of reports at my disposal and very responsive customer service. Payroll is a breeze.

Cons

Occasional errors when trying to update timesheets. Sometimes troubleshooting takes a while to fix the issue with remote IT support.

### "Good product but not for a construction company"

February 7, 2026

2.0

It ended up not being the program that our company needed as it could not do what our the previous payroll company could. The sales team had full access to that program and we had numerous discussions about the complexity of the payroll and was assured it could easily be handled by ADP Run. In the end, it could not.

Pros

It's user friendly, easy to learn. The interface is easily navigated. Customer service is good. Several people worked weekly trying to resolve issues.

Cons

It cannot handle multiple local jurisdictions so it's not compatible for a small construction business that has multiple job sites, employees living in one state and working in multiple states. It took a month before anyone mentioned there were job types which could be assigned to a job because of this the general ledger journal entry had to be tweaked every week.

### "ADP is THE Best"

February 18, 2026

5.0

Very good experience with ADP! The rep we have is by far the best we have ever had with any payroll company.

Pros

Good value for the money; easy to use. Customer support for Accountants is great. I like a lot of the features.

Cons

Reports are not the best. We sometimes need information by employee such as YTD and it is hard to pull one up for one employee. The feature is there it just doesn't always work for us.

December 18, 2025

Overall, it's been a great experience using RUN I think it has only improved over the 5 years we've been using it!

Pros

I like that it's user-friendly, making it simple to use, and the customer support is always quick and super helpful!

Cons

I do wish we had a dedicated representative I could reach out to when needed. Rather than having to wait in a queue to speak to someone. I think it would be helpful to have someone who knows our company, making it more efficient when I do have to reach out.
