### "So far so Good"

February 10, 2026

5.0

Overall it has been an easy experiene. Running payroll is fast. Setting up new employees is streamless.

Pros

Customer support has been amazing, especally the Chat option. It is quick, easy and they always are able to help e with my question, concern, or issue.

Cons

I have had several issue with 1099's setting up the app. They always seem to have an issue with finding their information and I end up having to call every time.

### "Excellent!"

December 16, 2025

5.0

Pros

quick, easy login to run payroll- customer support always prompt in communications files to import report to quick books are auto generated, easy download and import process.

Cons

weekly payroll email reminders are sent too early for our particular payroll run. i.e.- email reminder comes in previous Sunday and we run payroll on Thursday. Day before would be desirable. Holiday pay schedule can become confusing- depending on employee banks.

### "Great customer service!"

September 4, 2025

5.0

It was super easy to set up, one of the ADP reps helped set everything up, and then trained me on how to do everything. If I ever have questions, I can just call or email her and she answers my questions right away.

Pros

Easy to use, they have great customer service when you need them. The site is customizable as well.

Cons

Its really hard to tell how many hours a person has for vacation unless you go into their profile. Also, it won't allow me to take 40 hours vacation for one week. I have to do 39 hours vacation, 1 hour pay and then I have to adjust it.

### "RUN ADP REVIEW"

December 16, 2025

5.0

Very smooth and easy to use. My representative has always been easy to reach as well as being proactive.

Pros

We have found RUN very easy to use compared to previous systems. My rep made has helped with any issues.

Cons

I have not experienced an issue yet. However if I had I am confident my rep would help with any questions as he makes multiple check-ins.

### "Lightweight and robust, for a price"

January 28, 2025

5.0

Excellent piece of software, when Excel doesn't quite do enough and you need a more robust, purpose-built thing.

Pros

Simple and lightweight application that does the job for a small business. Better than a spreadsheet!

Cons

Nothing especially bad about RUN, but for a growing business it quickly becomes too basic above about 45 people.

### "Comfort Home Services Review "

December 16, 2025

5.0

Seamless and simple. They take the worst parts about running a business out of my hands and handle them with confidence, guarantees, and ease.

Pros

The ease of use, the availability of our rep Jonathan, and the tax peace of mind they offer. I was very satisfied and will continue referring my fellow business partners to adp.

Cons

I didn’t like having to pay for it, as I don’t like having to pay for anything. But now they’ve managed to offer it to me for free with their current promotion:

### "ADP Run- a great payroll partner"

September 26, 2025

5.0

ADP is a great payroll platform and has kept my payroll processing simple and efficient, so I do not have to spend a lot of time processing payroll for my employees.

Pros

Run by ADP is a great solution for paying your employees. It is setup in a way that is streamlined and makes the process fast and efficient. Additionally, the customer support is top notch. You can reach a customer service specialist through the chat within minutes, and they will walk through with of you to resolve any issue or help you may need.

Cons

I would like to have a more robust data saved to the employee profile in order to run more reporting metrics on employees.

### "Wonderful company!"

December 16, 2025

5.0

My over all experience with Run powered ADP has been overall wonderful. Look forward to many more years of service.

Pros

What I like most abour ADP is they always have service with a smile. Such an incredible company to work with. If you're not connecting with the person they sent you to they find someone who can help you.

Cons

We have been with ADP 10 plus year's! They have had a great track record of making us happy customers.

### "New to ADP"

February 6, 2026

5.0

Easy to use. The salesperson that signed us up was very thorough and followed up on the first 2 payrolls we ran. The cost was significantly lower than the company we previously used.

Pros

It suited our Accountants needs. Easy platform to become accustomed to. It is a much more cost effective solution to simple payrolls. Presumably we are going to receive some from months as well.

Cons

Immediate barrage of extra services being proffered. We just need a simple, easy to use platform for a small company. We do not need 401K and Health Savings plans. Easy enough to ignore the emails. Learning a new system never something you want to do but that was easy.

### "Thrilled with RUN by ADP"

March 31, 2026

5.0

As a new and (very) small business owner, I NEVER thought that ADP would pay any attention to me. I thought that I would have been way too small for them to care about. That hasn't been the case, at ALL. The initial sales process that I went through with my rep was pleasant. Onboarding was easy and thorough. Support, which I've needed very, very rarely has been truly awesome.

Pros

Super easy and intuitive to use. SIMPLE. Once you load your employee names into the system, every 2 weeks you can step through the process quickly and easily to complete payroll. Love it.

Cons

There's really not much that I don't like about RUN by ADP. I'm honestly hard-pressed to think of anything that I don't like...

### "good simple payroll system for a small business. "

February 9, 2026

4.0

Overall, they were great to work with. They were attentive and helped me through everything I needed. Even though it did not work for my specific type of pay (Truck drivers), I can tell it was a good company. Only bad part is waiting for my refund.

Pros

\[sensitive content hidden\] , who helped me set up, was a great asset. The other part I loved was the reporting. It was very straightforward and useful.

Cons

I wish there were more customization in the pay types. I needed more than just a couple reimbursements. The first payroll did not go as smoothly as I hoped with payroll withdrawal. I had to wire, which I was told to send 'x' amount, which ended up being wrong. I have been waiting for a refund since (one month later).

Awesome! I worked with \[sensitive content hidden\] to get everything setup. She was super nice and helpful. No complaints!

Pros

Extraordinarly value, customer service, ease of use, and implemen tation. The team does an amazing job of teaching you how to setup everything. Furthermore, there is the ability to access it all on your phone, which is awesome.

Cons

The emails to add additional items at first were quite annoying, but they aren't super repetitive, so it isn't too much of an issue.

### "Thanks ADP"

December 16, 2025

5.0

Overall great experience. Wish I would have swapped a long time ago. This swap should save our company money.

Pros

Number one thing is I have someone to call for help. The customer support is great. Rachel has made the transition to APD easy. Also APD has been more cost effective than paying my current CPA to do the little things.

Cons

For me personally the tax paying part could use a little more clarity. A few features have been kind of hard to find. Not as easy to correct a mistake as compared to previous payroll service.

### "My thoughts "

March 12, 2026

3.0

It could use some help with how fast it moves and make everything available on the app and desk and laptop.

Pros

Very user-friendly and easy to navigate, even for people without a payroll background. Payroll processing is quick and efficient, allowing payroll to be completed in just a few steps.

Cons

The pricing can be higher compared to some other payroll platforms, especially for small businesses. Certain features require additional add-ons, which can increase the overall cost.

I enjoyed it and loved being able to print my PowerPoint. I got to follow and take notes for later..

Pros

Examples used to explain the section. She clarified everything. Shame I didn't get to the live show to ask questions

Cons

I wish there were ones specific to my state that provided more details rather than general knowledge.

### "Best service to make paying your employees, easy!"

April 11, 2026

5.0

We have been pleased with the service and are happy to continue with ADP. The overall experience has been excellent!

Pros

I like as the office manager, how easy it is to run our payroll for our small business and when we have new hires, it is a smooth process to get them set up in ADP.

Cons

I wish the customer service was a little easier to access. I would like to have the convenience of being able to call our rep to ask the more difficult questions.

### "Convenient"

February 25, 2026

4.0

Overall it has been great and worth it. It has saved a lot of time and mistakes being able to track everything in one place.

Pros

The convenience of self use. It's very easy to use and it saves time and increases accuracy for payroll.

Cons

Not having one person as a contact. If an issue doesn't get fixed the first time, recalling and explaining the issue all over again several times is frustrating and time consuming

I have been using Run by ADP for years and ADP has only improved over this time. There was a time when it was hard to get a person on the phone but that has improved.

Pros

Run is easy to use and can input payroll very quickly. I like all the reports that are offered. Good job

Cons

The only thing I dislike is ADP trying to sell me all the other services they offer. I understand some companies might need them.
