    Considered Both Products

    Chose ADP Workforce Now
    Paylocity was a bit more smooth but ADP has more features such as a more convenient way to do onboarding
    Incentivized
    Chose ADP Workforce Now
    ADP Workforce Now is simply way more user friendly than Paylocity, with a much simpler and more modern looking UI, for both users and Admins. Paylocity's interface was just way too complicated and old looking, for that alone we decide to go with ADP Workforce Now to avoid …

    [In my opinion,] Paylocity is user-friendly for administrators.

    Chose ADP Workforce Now
    Paylocity seems to be the only platform that I would consider over ADP. It seems to be more "whole" when adding a module. But WFN is more advanced and easier than the others.

    Chose ADP Workforce Now
    We evaluated Paylocity, but discovered that ADP already has many of the features they offer.

    Chose ADP Workforce Now
    I did not select ADP Workforce Now. It was in place prior to my arrival at my company. I did not work with Paylocity long enough to draw a conclusion. I do like ADP's interface much better.

    Chose ADP Workforce Now
    Paylocity is a good little payroll system for companies under 250 employees. When you get over 250 employees and want to fully utilize their system, then Paylocity starts falling short of ADP very quickly.
    Incentivized
    Chose ADP Workforce Now
    ADP Workforce Now is extremely cumbersome and does not work the way it is sold. Paylocity is much more user-friendly and straightforward and offers better training and customer support.

    not particularly different, except I think the customer service is worse with ADP Workforce Now.

    ADP had a better recording system, we switched over when our company was quite large an operating in several states. It made sense to make the move

    Chose ADP Workforce Now
    We have seen demos from several other companies and it always comes down to costs and features for us. The features and benefits of ADP are amazing. ADP has so many more features of the program than the others were able to offer. The added features that ADP has over the others …

    I still believe that ADP is the best at payroll and HR solutions. I have not felt comfortable even considering moving away from ADP.

    The other 3 are far more simplistic in the long run with fewer processes. However, they do offer fewer services. I believe they are more valuable resources for small businesses.

    ADP Workforce Now is a robust system that has a lot of features for every size company in any industry. I didn't feel that the other products could do what ADP Workforce Now could do for us.

    Paylocity
    Chose Paylocity
    The Paylocity platform is so much easier to navigate and set-up verses the use of ADP Workforce Now products. I worked for three different companies that used ADP and every system was different. There was a huge learning curve with ADP and I appreciate the ease of use with the …

    Chose Paylocity
    Paylocity is a tech company that became a payroll company. ADP is a payroll company trying to implement tech. Paylocity is much easier to use and a better product in my opinon.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paylocity
    We engaged on a system search for over a year. We left ADP for several reasons, like cost, lack of versatility, poor customer service, and every feature was more money. We evaluated Paycom and Paycor, but in the end HR, Accounting, and IT felt that Paylocity had all of the …

    Paylocity is much more intuitive than the ADP Workforce. You do not need to go through so many steps to accomplish a task. Paylocity has made it much more user friendly and organized.

    Chose Paylocity
    We chose Paylocity over ADP, Paycom and Kronos because it offered a better balance of functionality, user experience, and customer support tailored to our organizational needs. Paylocity’s platform felt more modern and intuitive, especially for our employees and managers who …

    There is no comparison. Every single one of these products are hog-poged and they do not encompass the seamless connection between 401k, benefits, cobra administration, employee / manager training and record keeping, performance and PIP, workforce management, etc. All …

    ADP has a better time keeping system than Paylocity as it's nice to be able to select a pay type/earning code then to be able to audit. There is a lot of customization you can do to the transfer of hours and shift differentials as well, but it can be complicated. The Reporting …

    We switched from ADP to Paylocity. We also evaluated Paycom at the time of the change. Paylocity has been so much better than ADP when it comes to pulling customized reports and customizing the system to suit our needs. We didn't feel like Paycom would meet the needs we had at …

    Chose Paylocity
    We have been using Paylocity since 2018. At the time pricing and customer service was the main reason. The pricing is still very competitive, and even though I feel the Paylocity service has dropped off, it is still better than what I experienced years ago with ADP. Overall, …

    Chose Paylocity
    Paylocity beats all of these hands down. I will give credit to ADP for having a good payroll system, but everything else they have is terrible. Bamboo HR is a really simple to understand and use platform, but that's also it's downside, it's too simple and not robust where …
