"Easy-to-Use Platform with Always-On Support and Helpful HR Analytics"
What do you like best about RUN Powered by ADP?

I like that I have support all the time for anything I need help with. The platform is really easy to use. When things are working perfectly, I really like the time card uploads. I do wish that I didnt have to convert back and forth from decimals to 60 minute increments. The HR portion of ADP is very helpful to me as I am a new HR manager. I really like the analytics that are provided after payroll is processed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RUN Powered by ADP?

The only thing I can think of that I dislike is the fact that when doing time cards in the time cards place. I have to convert decimals to time. So 5:30 hours worked is 5.5 hours when doing time cards. I wish they could just add the conversion to the bottom of the Calendar so it makes it easier for tracking hours. I also wish I had the ability to remove annoucements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Accurate Real-Time Timecard Integration and Timely Quarterly & Annual Filing"
What do you like best about RUN Powered by ADP?

I use the ADP Run app every day. Easily integrates the timecard and employee data real time, and accurate. All the forms are filed quarterly and annually in timely manner. It is very easy to use and data is safe. I have found it easy to implement for new employee onboarding. Customer service is great. The agents are smart and able to solve the issue right then and there. I would recommend ADPRUN because payroll is so important to get right the first time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RUN Powered by ADP?

The number of departments is limited to five. This makes it hard to properly segregate employees who regularly work across multiple departments, especially when a new department is added due to expansion.

I am limited as to what categories I want on the payroll data entry screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy, User-Friendly Payroll with Truly Helpful Live Chat Support"
What do you like best about RUN Powered by ADP?

I love the ease of the system. Onboarding a new employee, asking questions about tax notices, payroll, reports, and pretty much everything in the ADP portal is user friendly. The best part is that when there is a question, the chat is always available and the person on the other end is a real person, not an automated response so you get real answers, real help. The chat team is also very knowledgeable and able to check with other departments when needed. It's a total time saver and game changer! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RUN Powered by ADP?

I have had no issues with RUN leaving no complaints. My only criticism would be sometimes having confusion on the tax end but given that our company works out of multiple states and has a complicated set up, it's really not much of a complaint. Compared to Paychex, ADP is still far superior in this area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Payroll with Room for Enhanced Reporting"
What do you like best about RUN Powered by ADP?

I love how RUN Powered by ADP is very straightforward and user-friendly. It makes payroll, which can be quite daunting, feel much more manageable. Its easy navigation helps keep all my payroll, employee, and tax details organized. I appreciate its reliability since it saves time and reduces manual work. It gives me peace of mind, knowing my payrolls are being handled accurately and on schedule. The ease of use, efficiency, and organization really stand out to me. Additionally, the initial setup was very easy, which was a great relief. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RUN Powered by ADP?

I wish there was more flexibility on customizing reporting, along with a more modern interface in certain areas. The ability to customize report easier based on the exact data needed. It would be helpful to really add in the data I want for internal review instead of just standard templates to customize. More filtering options would be helpful so I don't need to do extra cleanup after I export the reports. On the interface side, certain workflows can feel a bit click heavy and it's not always obvious where to find things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Helpful Live Chat, but Slow Implementation with ADP"
What do you like best about RUN Powered by ADP?

I enjoy the live chat feature. I have found it to be quite useful since working with ADP and they have resolved my concerns quite quickly. Also, having been a customer now for several months, the RUN site is so user-friendly and it makes the process of payroll extremely quick and it basically does all the work! I could barely ask for anything more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RUN Powered by ADP?

Implementation takes quite awhile and is not as straightforward as I would prefer, but the District Manager that I work with has been very helpful when I needed help. Also, we have had some hiccups in regard to delivery, but customer service has always been pretty resourceful in ensuring no employees missed their pay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined Payroll Management for Small Teams"
What do you like best about RUN Powered by ADP?

I like the payroll processing and payroll management features of RUN Powered by ADP. For a small business, it can be difficult to navigate all of that, but with RUN Powered by ADP, all I have to do is input what's necessary and it's all integrated to the bank account. I trust that they would handle everything, and employees get paid at the correct time. The platform addresses a critical need by managing payroll compliance and government filing requirements all in one place. It's valuable to me that there's a dedicated system with accessible, knowledgeable support staff, which reduces risk significantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RUN Powered by ADP?

The learning curve for navigating some of the more specialized features could be improved. The onboarding process was okay, but I wish they took more time to explain how the platform works once you're onboarded. The interface, while functional, is not always the most intuitive, especially when you're a first-time user and do not know what exactly you're trying to locate.

"Efficient Payroll Management with Minor Flexibility Hurdles"
What do you like best about RUN Powered by ADP?

I really like RUN Powered by ADP's user-friendly interface; it makes running payroll simple and quick, even if there are complex pay structures. I appreciate the reliable payroll and tax compliance; it gives me confidence that all filings, calculations, and payments are done accurately and on time. The automation is a big plus since it reduces the need for manual data entry, cuts down on errors, and saves me a lot of time every pay period. The easy access to reports is another feature I find valuable because it helps me quickly review payroll, tax liabilities, and employee data which supports audits, reconciliations, and management decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RUN Powered by ADP?

Some areas that could be improved include more intuitive error messages, greater flexibility in report customization, and faster response times for complex support queries. Enhancing visibility into certain payroll or tax setup steps would also make troubleshooting easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient for Reporting, But Customer Support Needs Improvement"
What do you like best about RUN Powered by ADP?

I like that I don't have to wait for someone from RUN Powered by ADP to pull reports for me. I can efficiently pull them myself whenever I need to. It means I can get them very quickly rather than emailing someone and waiting for a day or two to receive them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RUN Powered by ADP?

Getting ahold of someone is very difficult. I needed to update my address recently on our WC policy through ADP and couldn't get ahold of anyone. Our first payroll was messed up because of the person helping us and my staff didn't get paid on time. Also, my staff often have issues with the app not letting them clock in or out. I switched to ADP because our previous company had an app with these issues, so it is frustrating to switch to one of the largest companies and still find their services are unreliable for my team.

"RUN Makes Payroll Processing Easy with Strong Reporting"
What do you like best about RUN Powered by ADP?

RUN makes processing our payroll very easy. Our plan includes processing, direct deposit, tax reporting and provides us with a strong set of reports for our accounting purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RUN Powered by ADP?

There are times when it is tough to reach their customer support and their call center appears to be in a foreign company and there is sometimes a basic communication issue. We recently downgraded our plan because we were using the highest available plan and we were not using any of the features for over a year. I might suggest that you have account representatives review individual accounts to find out why they aren't using pieces of the plan and educate them about the various offerings. I took over from the previous payroll manager who started the ADP account so I was unaware as to the program we had enrolled in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
