All-Encompassing Solution for those who can live without a "White Glove" Payroll Experience

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: Overall positive, I prefer ADP over the 2 other payroll systems I've used, and the price is fair as well.

Pros:

Ease of processing payroll, and ability to contact customer service regularly to get custom reporting and resolve issues.

Cons:

Some solutions to issues are not obvious at all in the platform, and the only way to really learn is by talking with an ADP employee, and then learning it for next time. This can be a time-sink sometimes for smaller issues.

Review of ADP Comp Services

5.0 6 months ago

Comments: I enjoy ADP Comprehensive Services, but I wish you would consider getting more specialized in Government Contracting. I had to spend a lot of time working to customize the system for government compliance. It would be better if you had teams with specific experience in government contracting in HR and compliance.

Pros:

Everything I need is in one system and it is easy to understand once you take the time to learn the system.

Cons:

Setting it up and implementing the system. IT could be much easier. Implementation was not what I initially expected, it wasted a lot of time because it was not useful. You need to work out a way to go through implementation where it is not just about showing you what you can do, you should build in the time to actually set up and build the system.

Consistently Inconsistent

2.0 5 months ago

Comments: Overall disappointed with the level of inconsistency at all levels.

Pros:

They have proven to to be a valuable part of our Payroll and HR Business compliance. ADP Comprehensive Services has kept us in compliance. They really look into how you are using the services and help to level up the experience.

Cons:

Their systems don't work well together, I wish it was a little more customizable from the client side, inconsistency in support and extending the customer support time beyond 5PM. We've had settings reversed or access removed without anyone adjusting anything, so there are occasionally some bugs that have to be worked through. Would have liked more guided set-up in some areas. Their training resources/guides can definitely use an upgrade, L&D module is very basic.

Pros:

It is User friendly, it streamlines complex HR tasks making payroll process, benefits and reporting a lot easier.

Cons:

The one thing I did not like was that they do not provide IT team come to our location to set up the clocks the assistance was done only via phone and it was time consuming and inconvenient.

ADP Comp Services - SRM

3.0 5 months ago

Comments: My overall experience with ADP is good. While it does have its challenges every system does. Overall, it works well for our company.

Pros:

I like the convenience of having everything in one place.

Cons:

I feel like the service team is hit or miss. Sometimes it feels like if you called in three times back-to-back you would get three different answers.

IMI Norgren LLC

4.0 5 months ago

Comments: Overall, the service has been good and worth the extra money. As our team has improved and become certified, I am beginning to feel that we have outgrown this product

Pros:

IMI contracted with comp services in 2016. With a small and inexperienced payroll group, we relied on our ADP service team to help us complete payrolls and stay in compliance

Cons:

the service/product is dependent on the talent level of your team. When we have had low talent, things did not go well. when talent gets better our service improves

Comments: Overall experience is a plus and would recommend to others.

Pros:

I really like how there is always someone to help and get things done.

Cons:

Sometimes in some areas it would be nice to be able to just "do it ourselves" instead of having someone need to do it for us.

Comp Srvcs Review

4.0 6 months ago

Comments: Overall, very good experience. We are actually growing and merging so we are going with Next Gen soon and everything will be back with ADP, including time and attendance.

Pros:

ADP does so much for a lot of departments that we don't have to worry about.

Cons:

Great service for all payroll and HR needs for small and large companies alike

5.0 5 months ago

Comments: Overall our experience with Comprehensive Services is very good. There is plenty of support and a wealth of information we have access to. Everybody at ADP is working hard to give the support we need and most smaller issues that come up are not disrupting our operation.

Pros:

It offers the full package for Payroll and HR services with almost unlimited options of tailoring to the companies needs. It works well when everything is set up and makes payroll and HR much easier to manage

Cons:

It is sometimes time consuming and a lengthier process to solve problems and find/fix the reasons behind some calculation errors or other issues that randomly appear.

Confidence and Solutions

5.0 5 months ago

Comments: My prior ADP Specialist [sensitive content hidden] was phenomenal, she has knowledge in every area to the system, like payroll, benefits, taxes, GL mapping, agency notices search, PQA's, amendments/adjustments, HR solutions.

Pros:

I like the assigned ADP Payroll Specialist that provides solutions and knowledge on the cases.

Cons:

Some cases take longer than normal like taxes issues and sometimes we have to close the case within 5 days.

ADP Comprehensive Services

5.0 last year

Comments: Outstanding - many great systems and excellent people to help get it all done. Thank you!

Pros:

The additional assistance by dedicated ADP representatives

Cons:

The Tax service is excellent in many ways for a multi-tax client. However, the items that need to be fixed (frequently as a result of a state making a mistake) just takes too long with the ADP tax service -- need to be more responsive and flexible to get items fixed more timely. -- Again want to stress that the service is there and taxes are paid , but the time to get some items done needs to improve

It makes it easy for employees that have questions to reach out and get precise answers quickly. It is a big help to employees if I am tied up with other tasks by giving them another avenue to seek assistance.

Cons:

I can not think of any down side to the service.
