	ADP Workforce Now	Paycor
Considered Both Products	ADP Verified User Chose ADP Workforce Now I do like ADP better. It has more functionality and I like the overall look and ease of use of the site. The only issue with ADP as compared to Paycor is that the amount of fees for things like amendments or previous quarter adjustments is extreme. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose ADP Workforce Now Well, we will be moving on from ADP. In terms of comparison, Bullhorn has the same shortcomings that ADP had. It's clunky and takes a lot of steps to minimal things. Lots of pretty colors and visual appeal but clunky to use. Akken is probably the worst system I've ever used. … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose ADP Workforce Now I have only used Paycor outside of ADP, but not from the human resources perspective. I was a regular employee there who used it to clock in and out, and check tax information. It was nice being able to easily access it over the phone rather than going to a computer as I was … Incentivized Helpful? Marla Shannon Executive HR Director in Human Resources at First Step of Sarasota, Inc. (Hospital & Health Care, 201-500 employees) Chose ADP Workforce Now I did not previously use this system, but our Sr. HR Generalist did, and I have been told Paycor was much more user friendly and did not require so much updating information in numerous areas. The platforms/pages "talked"/were synced much more efficiently Incentivized Helpful? Amy Beresford Director of Human Resources in Human Resources at Association for Energy Affordability, Inc. (Utilities, 51-200 employees) Chose ADP Workforce Now Paycor did not have greater features or functionality than ADP WFN. Incentivized Helpful? Stephenny Queiroz HRIS & Payroll Supervisor in Human Resources at CKA Management, LLC (Restaurants, 1001-5000 employees) Chose ADP Workforce Now SO much better than Paycor. ADP [Workforce Now] has more of a backbone that Paycor does. It has its processes already in motion and it seems like their specialist who help us with any questions know all their stuff, unlike Paycor. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose ADP Workforce Now We have used Paycor in the past and it works similar to ADP but the interface just looks simpler. ADP is much better since there are numerous tutorials or helpful links to teach you how to use the software. The bridge also offers help from other users that have similar isssues. Incentivized Helpful? Tiana Johnson Director of Finance in Finance and Accounting at Liberation Programs (Hospital & Health Care, 51-200 employees) Chose ADP Workforce Now They pale compared to ADP because they each have broken systems that do not flow from beginning to end. Another system is required to support all of the functions needed to process payroll. That puts too much on me, the person, instead of the system. We should work smarter, not … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose ADP Workforce Now ADP is well developed and customer service is by far the best that I have experienced. ADP also provides CPE for CPAs. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose ADP Workforce Now I did not select ADP, I'm evaluating the other softwares to move away from ADP. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose ADP Workforce Now ADP's integration with the ADP 401k was the best option for us. The other providers were not able to provide the integration we needed. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose ADP Workforce Now I like ADP Workforce Now. Incentivized Helpful? Edward Stachnik Controller in Finance and Accounting at Amware Companies (Warehousing, 51-200 employees) Chose ADP Workforce Now All 4 were very similar in functionality. We were able to get ADP for the lowest price of the 4 (with the most features included) Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose ADP Workforce Now Some are very comparable, but ADP had better pricing and scalability to fit our needs. Incentivized Helpful? Lynn Providence Regional Manager, Human Resources in Human Resources at Kyocera (Business Supplies & Equipment, 10,001+ employees) Chose ADP Workforce Now Better reporting functions, better on-boarding assistance, and better PTO accrual tool. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose ADP Workforce Now ADP's ROI and strong track record has always kept us in their camp despite other vendors attempting to pull us away. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose ADP Workforce Now For me, there is no comparison. Incentivized Helpful? Judy Kellogg Payroll Supervisor in Finance and Accounting at Covenant Woods (Non-profit Organization Management, 201-500 employees) Chose ADP Workforce Now ADP has many more products and applications and is easy to use. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose ADP Workforce Now ADP is certainly more robust, but also, more expensive. We do not partner with ADP for ATS because of the price. Incentivized Helpful? Jordan Perili COO (Chief Operations Officer) in Corporate at Happy + Hale (Hospitality, 51-200 employees) Chose ADP Workforce Now ADP has been more user-friendly than our previous systems for both admins and users alike. But is a far cry from some of the newer, non-legacy software for payroll. Goodbye ADP. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose ADP Workforce Now I think that Workforce Now is more robust and inclusive to make things very efficient on one platform with different modules. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose ADP Workforce Now We decided to stick with ADP as that seems to be going well for us, but I will say that Paycom seemed very user-friendly when I sat in on their presentation. Incentivized Helpful?	Paycor Inc Verified User Chose Paycor Paycom looks good but doesn’t deliver, they are a giant pile of crap. ADP Workforce Now - as a small organization you will not get the attention you need. I would be on hold for 45 minutes or longer for simple questions. Paycheck - too bare bones UKG - I’ve never used them, … Incentivized Helpful? Blake Kennedy Assistant Director of Finance in Finance and Accounting at Palo Alto Hills Golf and Country Club (Hospitality, 51-200 employees) Chose Paycor I have used both Paycom and ADP Workforce Now, among 3 to 4 other products and find that they promise similarities to Paycor, but that they do not deliver. Higher Fees and less offerings. Customer Support generally is not as good as Paycor's and both made multiple errors in … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Paycor I was not involved in evaluating Paycor vs anything else. We had ADP Workforce Now prior to Paycor and it got us by, but did not have near the functionality that Paycor does. It was also not user friendly and there was no point person you could talk to, as all the … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Paycor Paycor doesn't have the same functionality for the HRIS piece as the others. Paycor was selected by our payroll provider when we were small. Incentivized Helpful? Michael Brophy Benefits Consulting Analyst in Information Technology at Bennie Health, Inc. (Information Services, 51-200 employees) Chose Paycor Overall, I prefer it to the bigger HRIS systems that I work with (ADP, Paycom, Paylocity) and would chose Paycor above those listed. I do prefer utilizing other Ben Admin Systems (Gusto, Rippling, Ease) for pulling general reports, usability, and customer service needs for … Incentivized Helpful? Sarah DeWitt HR Generalist in Human Resources at Housing Resources, Inc. (Non-profit Organization Management, 11-50 employees) Chose Paycor As much as I disliked ADP, I'd rather go back to that than continue using Paycor Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Paycor Sales rep were really respectful. I felt with some other vendors they were a bit aggressive. The demo that was made in house was nice and the guy demonstrating it knew a lot about the system which made us more confident in the decision. Also, the ability of having all in one … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Paycor All platforms provide similar services in our world. Some are just a bit better than others and offer different spins on things or nuances that make it just that much better for the end user. Paycor is that added nuance factor. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Paycor We were looking for a better employee and manager experience and better customer service. Incentivized Helpful? Teresa Wolfe HR Manager in Human Resources at Kansas Heart Hospital (Hospital & Health Care, 201-500 employees) Chose Paycor Paycor was just the product that seemed to offer the most diversity of products and the easiest to use. Our previous software was too complicated when you needed to add a job code or change a benefit. Paycor makes these changes easy to do. The employee app was also the one … Incentivized Helpful? Dawn Buxbaum Payroll Manager in Corporate at Owner's Management Company (Real Estate, 51-200 employees) Chose Paycor Paycor is easier to use. We used to upload our data, but with Paycor, we are able to enter it right on the grid. Incentivized Helpful? Maren Kurtz, MBA, PHR, SHRM-CP Senior Director of Human Resources in Human Resources at The University of Toledo Foundation (Non-profit Organization Management, 51-200 employees) Chose Paycor I would select Paycor over ADP, rate it about the same as Paycom, but if I had to choose again I would choose Paylocity as my number one pick. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Paycor ADP could not handle our business structure at all- when it came to the organizational chart, the occupational taxes, or the movement of employees from one payroll to another. Paycor was able to provide us a much better experience with these issues Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Paycor About the same as PeopleSoft slightly less than ADP. I was not involved in the selection process. Incentivized Helpful? Ange Reda SR HR Generalist in Human Resources at Dominican UNIVERSITY (Higher Education, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Paycor We selected Paycor because our previous company dropped the ball on important updates and even forgot to process a payroll. We wanted something that would be better to communicate with us. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Paycor ADP does have better tools than Paycor, but I think Paycor is easier to use than ADP for smaller company size. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Paycor Better than ADP and Paychex, allowed for a much more comprehensive product. Incentivized Helpful? Lacey Harville VP of Human Development in Human Resources at Canteen Service Company (Food & Beverages, 201-500 employees) Chose Paycor I think Paycor is very comparable to other payroll companies out there. Their pricing was better than the previous company we used, which was ultimately the reason we switched payroll companies to begin with. The previous company didn't do upgrades very often and that is one … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Paycor From a cost perspective, Paycor competes well with Paylocity and with ADP but UltiPro is far more expensive. In terms of providing a sense of peace and confidence, Paycor ranks above ADP in my mind but below the others. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Paycor It doesn't. We are trying to just save money but ADP is better so far. Sorry. Incentivized Helpful? Zane Stevens Accounting Assistant in Finance and Accounting at Camp Eagle (Non-Profit Organization Management, 51-200 employees) Chose Paycor Night and day difference and Paycor customer support is far above that of ADP. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Paycor Some features of Paycor are better, such as open enrollment and the new hire wizard, but others are poor, such as the benefit administration and history. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Paycor Reporting is much better, and it's easier from an employee standpoint. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Paycor I have used several other payroll and HRMS products in previous positions. I didn't select Paycor for my current job; it was already in place when I started, but I have found it to be user-friendly and efficient. I am happy with the process that we currently have in place. … Incentivized Helpful? Shirley Meadows Office Manager in Corporate at Howard Adams Heating and Air (Consumer Services, 1-10 employees) Chose Paycor I have used ADP in the past, and it felt like I was nothing more than a part of an account to them. With Paycor, I know they recognize me as a person, a part of a company. Incentivized Helpful?
