    Considered Both Products
    isolved
    Chose isolved
    I have most experience with ADP WFN and Paychex Flex and can say isolved is a better fit for our company than either of these. isolved has better customer service and is a better fit and value given our size and industry.

    Chose isolved
    isolved was superior to all of these in every way. It really was like a one-stop shop for us for everything the HR team needed and was extremely user friendly for our employees and managers. I cannot speak highly enough about this platform especially when comparing to other …

    Chose isolved
    isolved provides a system and capabilities right at the sweet spot for our organizations. It is not overly complex and feature laden as to make it confusing and complex. On the other hand, it is fully functional and effective at the core requirements of HR and payroll without …

    Chose isolved
    The customer service support level is vastly superior to that of ADP Workforce Now. The payroll reporting functionality is much more robust on ADP Workforce Now's end than that of isolved. isolved is easier to use for both the payroll practitioner and the employees than that of …

    Chose isolved
    isolved Payroll is more affordable than Paychex Payroll. Paychex HR is more affordable than isolved HR. Toast Payroll is more complicated than isolved. Toast doesn't offer much HR service. Paycom is much more like self-service, which the support is not as great as isolved.

    Chose isolved
    Paychex can do a lot of the same things, but less complicated. They have a more simplified approach to their interface. However, it does not give you the autonomy to mold templates and policies specific to your needs as easily as isolved.

    Chose isolved
    Paychex is a very simplified HR/Payroll software which makes it easy for people to figure out how to utilize their tools, but isolved, though more complex, has the capability to do much more and give better information.

    Chose isolved
    isolved provided so much support during our implementation and continues to be an amazing resource not just in our payroll processing, but in strategic planning for our organization. Our customer success manager provides a level of "white glove" service that we did not …

    Checked most of the boxes. Should have insisted on speaking to references who could speak to implementation and hand-off.

    Chose isolved
    I went with iSolved because the people I spoke with were all quick to answer and very thorough in their responses. I knew they could help me build my setup the way I wanted it, and not just force me to work within some pre-set parameters once I had signed the contract.

    Chose isolved
    I believe that isolved has a ways to go to get to the top performers such as ADP and PayChex. isolved and Heartland Payroll are very similar in platform (have used Heartland prior).

    Chose isolved
    ADP--horrible customer service, inaccuracies.
    We left ADP to utilize isolved.
    Incentivized
    Chose isolved
    I find the isolved software more appealing than either ADP or Paychex. However, while I hated dealing with ADP because they are too big and very difficult to navigate as a result, we had very few issues (particularly tax-related) so, based on that alone ADP and Paychex were …
    Incentivized
    Chose isolved
    isolved has more focus on customer service than our experience with Paychex and ADP. The system is competitively priced and has all of the same bells and whistles that the other software had. We also find that the overall software is easier to navigate. In our experience with …

    Chose isolved
    I can never find reports I need to gather all of the information about a client needed for a new set up. This goes back to why I love isolved reports so much. There is literally a report for anything you need. I end up having to screenshot information from other payroll …

    Paychex Inc.
    Chose Paychex
    Based on what I've noticed, Paychex is comparable to Dayforce, which has similar timekeeping functions. I think Dayforce has a few easier-to-navigate tools from an Employee Self Service standpoint. isolved is much better all around from my personal usage. If my company had more …

    Chose Paychex
    isolved was terrible. It never seemed to work correctly and information didn't always get saved on the first try. Paychex has helped by having the app and making it easier to navigate what you are looking for. I like that I have a personal account on Paychex and a admin …

    Chose Paychex
    Paychex Flex has some room for improvement, I would choose ADP out of the different HRIS's I have used in the past
