ADP SmartCompliance had already been selected as a vendor prior to my joining the company.
I think one area where ADP excels over OneSource is in the amendment processing. OneSource has a very manual process where you have to request each period/state/jurisdiction needed, then …

This is different systems and they have different pros and cons. Customer services from UKG are more responsive vs ADP. ADP customer may take a few days or longer to response back. Also, if you give them a call, the wait time for the rep is pretty long which is highly not …

Munis by Tyler Technology, we combined both resources for our payroll department.
Chose ADP SmartCompliance
I used this product for the Human Resources database and ADP for payroll and it did not integrate and we had to do double data entry. Having products that work together is a game changer. Not only does it save valuable time, but you have many less errors due to multiple data …
Chose ADP SmartCompliance
We have four FEIN's with a very large remote staff so we have used ADP for many years for all our tax filing needs. We have been please with ADP and the use of SmartCompliance so we have not looked into changing companies for this need.
Chose ADP SmartCompliance
ADP has been around the longest and has the most experience of any company out there. They continually upgrade their systems to make it user friendly. They have a large knowledgeable staff and are available at all times.

Several others I would choose before ADP SmartCompliance
Chose ADP SmartCompliance
ADP Smart Compliance is user friendly and some other software is not user friendly.
Chose ADP SmartCompliance
Oursource partners is the only other company that I have used in my dealings with tax and payroll. Both are pertty comparable however ADP SmartCompliance does have the years of experience behind them as for Outsource partners is a fairly new vendor.
Chose ADP SmartCompliance
There is no comparison. Oracle services are horrible, and we have to use a third party to get support.
Chose ADP SmartCompliance
SmartCompliance is much more robust and inclusive than the previous tax vendor

ADP SmartCompliance is a total package and is the most up-to-date software with every solution to meet payroll and HR needs.

ADP
We love our account manager Joanne Renova who goes above and beyond to make sure that we are well prepared for quarter and year end. She is the reason we are enjoying our experience with ADP thus far. SmartCompliance itself is fairly easy to navigate and has a lot of resources/links available to help & further knowledge.

Pros
ADP
  • It helps us identify our employees who entered their account information incorrectly and get the payment reissued to them as quickly as possible.
  • It helps us quickly and securely issue payment to employees who terminate.
  • We efficiently get our garnishments processed to remain compliant.

Cons
ADP
  • ADP should have their SC employees better trained to give consistent answers about how to handle certain tax issues relating to the states. I seem to get a different answer multiple times.
  • It's difficult to distinguish between which cases/letters goes through ADP Workforce Now Service Connect and which cases go through SmartCompliance. I have been told differently on many occasions and will find a case in both places.
  • While many of the agency notices of tax rate changes, etc. are a very quick process and ADP "resolves" the case, I find other notices get lost in the shuffle when it doesn't fit exactly into the rate change bucket or the past due bill that says "Just Pay It". Some letters aren't that straightforward.

There is no other option on the table for us at the moment to go with a different vendor. We also have had very little issues processing with ADP that would make us want to look for a new vendor.

Usability
ADP
For the most part, one can get in and learn how to navigate the system by just clicking on one of the suject areas. If you have a good clientrepresentative, they will inform you of new features/functionality and give you a quick demo. This is helpful for one to go back in and navigate to learn how it works and usefulness.

Performance
ADP
If ADP is having issues, they communicate the problem within the solution once you log in. They also communicate that the issue will be fixed promptly. Reports run efficiently and in a reasonable amount of time. Also, the reports allow for various reporting types to be produced like a PDF or a Microsoft Excel file.

As mentioned in the last comment, everyone and everything has been great. However sometimes you get one person that I feel can bring a score down and the current dedicated tax representative I have I do not feel is very supportive.

Online Training
ADP
They have annual training for Smart Compliance, which is very helpful. We learn the most up to laws for various subject matters, like garnishments, payroll law, child support, state unemployment laws by states. We also earn credit toward certifications. The training is user friendly, and highly recommended. It can be done live or listened to at your own convenience.

ADP SmartCompliance was easily integrated with WFN and all of our employee data was in one place. We saw this as an advantage instead of having to log into multiple platforms, everything was quickly accessible to respond to a VOE or claim.

Scalability
ADP
ADP has the ability to scale across departments. This was found to be true when we rolled out the wage payment solution. ADP users are able to view their pay stubs on their phones and/or computers. This wage payment portal offers W2 storage and paystub storage for access at any time by an employee.

Return on Investment
ADP
  • The customer service phone service for the ADP Wisely service is very bad. No understanding or a language barrier is a very difficult service to deal with. Also working with them to correct a situation was impossible. It is basically non existent.
