We use ADP Workforce now for our U.S.-based employees and overall for reporting and information storing ADP is better. However, the customer service of ezLaborManager may be a little better. Also the sister program to process payroll at work is light years ahead of Workforce Now.
Based on pricing and reporting capabilities, ADP ezLaborManager was the better choice for our company. It worked well with ADP Payroll, and it was easy to navigate for our administrators and employees.
ADP exLaborManager - I prefer ADP over the Paycor and Aon Hewitt timecard applications. This software was more user friendly, had easier access, reporting, and tracking hours than the others I have used. I am not saying the others are horrible, just that ADP was more simplistic …
Cost and time spent on implementation were factors. ADP is reputable as well. Concerns were costs are high and extra modules that should be part of the standard are high.
We feel like Tracksmart has all of the features that we need for our team to schedule live chat shifts. The ability to trade shifts has been hugely helpful for our team and we love the user-friendly flexibility of the software.
Tracksmart is very simple to use compared to ClickTime. Tracksmart keeps a good count of PTOs, vacation, personal sick-days, etc. Which saves the organization a lot of time as everyone knows the remaining days available.
Clocking in/out is easy on the multiple time punch options. Cleaning up punches is also easy when they need to be fixed due to power outages or internet outages. It also helps with approving time off requests by showing on a calendar anyone in that manager's team who might already have the day scheduled off.
The system is great for attendance. It is also good for employee's time tracking, however, this feature works well for an organization that pays on a per hourly basis.
The interface of ADP ezLaborManager is simple to use, training only takes a couple of minutes for employees and a couple more for managers.
Time off requests are simple to add to the system, review, and approve or deny. There is a space for comments so that managers and employees can communicate directly on the time off request.
The employee and supervisor approval process confirms that the employees and managers agree on hours work to satisfy in errors in time before processing payroll.
Importing ADP ezLaborManager to RUN Powered by ADP only takes a couple minutes allowing you to get started on processing your payroll in a fraction of the time compared to manual time cards.
To cancel or delete a recurring schedule has too many steps for the managers to do so they ask me to do their updates for them.
Having several places to make updates is good but also can be bad. When you call ADP, everyone you talk with does things the way they were taught which in turns is you get a different answer. Then you have to remember, how did they do that again?
Sometimes less is more. If you update in one area, it does not cross over to another area that it may be tied to, then it's like you are doing double the work.
We've had a few instances where the site was down and we weren't able to access our schedules which was tricky, so now we save a back up copy to have on hand in case it goes down.
There is room for improvement in the notifications.
ADP is a good system to track information but, what it lacks is just some detail that provides time savings. Some instances they have made "updates" that tend to have been better previous to those "updates." One example is for staff to see how they have used their time off in the past. There should be an easy way to report and review such other than looking at pay periods. Pay statement and review and totals can also improve.
The support is not the best as they take much time to get back to you, days for some items as simple as a standard report. They do not know much about their own system I feel and it shows a lack of knowledge on their part. We have gotten wrong answers and it's not so user friendly.
Tracksmart has been very helpful when we have problems with our scheduling or questions about how to do different tasks. They are responsive and it's always a positive experience when we interact with them.
The training provided was based on a generic database and reporting which made it difficult to compare when you had your own database to work at. It also didn't provide good written materials that would be useful after the training session. It was more geared towards the practice tests or applications within the training.

Easier to request time off rather than taking management's time up - they can view requests at their convenience
Some employees don't like it and don't utilize it consistently - might be better if it could be some sort of clock-in icon on desktop instead of a website window that needs to be opened.
