    Our company was with Paycom and while it was very customizable - it required a lot of manual entry / management - often in multiple places within the system. Paycom did not offer the ability to easily scale that we were looking for - they also did not have a clean solution for …

    We had previously used ADP's Run platform and thought it would make for an easier transition. We could not have been more wrong. Pay information was not transferred, we were told we would have access to our reports in Run for a year instead we were locked out after a month. …

    I have been with the practice for 11 years, never once have I had to deal with issues that ADP has caused. The burden, lack of professionalism and the inability to perform basic, entry level tasks, is mind blowing

    Chose ADP Workforce Now
    I have exited 3 PEOs now and brought my business to ADP in house. My experience is with TriNet's PEO, Paychex's PEO and ADP Workforce Now. ADP beats both TriNet PEO and Paychex PEO as I couldn't wait to exit from TriNet and Paychex. Workforce Now will eventually be in a …

    Chose ADP Workforce Now
    We were a Paychex customer for approximately 14 years prior to reaching out for bids on a new platform. In the last year of our involvement with Paychex, we were moved to a new flex platform that just didn't seem to work for us, and the customer service to get answers or …

    Chose ADP Workforce Now
    ADP Workforce Now has the ability to be an all-in-one HRIS, Payroll system, ATS, and benefits management system without having any continuity issues. Easy to use and logical to use. Things are where you would think they would be without research, more of a common sense-built …

    Chose ADP Workforce Now
    Paychex offered little to no customer service. Paychex was unable to provide us with online timesheets that would fit our accrual and pay profiles. Paychex HR and Payroll did not process in the same module. Extra HR modules needed to be purchased, and those did not flow to …

    ADP [Workforce Now] is definitely much better than these two products. It is more user-friendly and has many more features; however, they are significantly more cost-effective, which is why they were used. ADP has the monopoly.

    Chose ADP Workforce Now
    ADP is an all-in-one, integrated, self-service system. It has saved us countless hours of data entry and errors. HIGHLY recommended!

    ADP [Workforce Now] is more economical than Paychex.

    Chose ADP Workforce Now
    We selected ADP due to its value and included capabilities. I find it to be very similar to the majority of the major payroll providers and in hindsight [I] am not sure this is the route we [should] have gone. If you have a robust HR/Payroll team, I think the product is fine, …

    Selected ADP because I thought the software was better. It ended up being the wrong choice.

    Chose ADP Workforce Now
    We have received quotes from Paychex and TriNet. Their competitors seem to have a more streamlined process. The only problem is they want to bundle their services with human resource management and our company already has in-house HR administration.

    Chose Paychex
    I have used both ADP Workforce Now and ADP Run for smaller companies. ADP is a great program and does what it does well but it does not compare to Paychex Flex. When I call Paychex Flex, I'm routed to my account representative immediately. If my rep isn't available, I'm …

    All solutions we have reviewed offer the same solutions, and all have pros/cons. Price is a factor, and we have found slightly less costly solutions, though any cost savings are negated in transition costs.

    I would choose Paychex every time!!
    The customer service is outstanding!
    All of the payroll/HRIS systems are similar in content, but Paychex outshines them in service the delivery of what we need.

    Chose Paychex
    With ADP we didn't feel we had good customer support. The cost is also pretty high compared to Paychex. Though it has some good sides like system speed and custom reporting, it lacks basic customer support and it was very tight with Payroll submission deadlines reaching out to …

    Chose Paychex
    We had Paychex Flex first and left them for ADP Workforce as we believed at that time we were going to get more functions, capabilities, cost tracking, and options. To be honest, I wish we could go back to Paychex Flex. We process payroll through a cumbersome construction …

    Chose Paychex
    Paychex Flex was easier to navigate. Our budgeting and PTO tracking flowed better with Paychex Flex, and as a manager, I felt more comfortable with working /with/ my employees instead of them carrying the load on their tracking. Plus, Flex has given us the ability to be more …

    I was not part of the decision to purchase Paychex Flex. It was good for the company's needs at the time, but when I joined the company we needed software that was more robust for our needs.

    Chose Paychex
    It’s great that Paychex is one place for all things, however workday in combination with a financial institution for managing 401ks is a cleaner and easier to use system. That being said, we didn’t utilize all the components of Paychex
