    Chose ADP TotalSource
    Workforce now is easier to use! TotalSource has a lot of quirks in it that are totally unnecessary. It's as if they took Workforce Now and adding all these different codes and features to call it TotalSource. However, upon logging in, TotalSource looks and operates basically …

    Chose ADP Workforce Now
    Although I didn't select ADP Workforce Now for our company, I can say that it stacks up a lot better than other systems I've used or evaluated in the past. The payroll module is user-friendly and very intuitive. It didn't take my team very long at all to get the process down …

    I think that Workforce Now is more robust and inclusive to make things very efficient on one platform with different modules.

    ADP Workforce Now tends to be the most robust, but also most expensive among similar HR platforms I've reviewed.

    ADP WorkForce Now (WFN) is much better than ADP TotalSource. If I could go back and redo it, I would have stayed with WFN and then chosen to incorporate some of the other modules WFN can incorporate (time keeping, benefits, etc.).
