AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- G2 reviewers report that RUN Powered by ADP excels in overall user satisfaction, boasting a significantly higher G2 Score compared to Inova Payroll. Users appreciate its user-friendly interface and the convenience of having various HR tools, such as background checks and document resources, all in one place.
- According to verified reviews, RUN Powered by ADP stands out for its exceptional customer support, with many users highlighting the proactive outreach from the support team to ensure they are satisfied and understand the platform. In contrast, while Inova Payroll also receives praise for its support, it does not match the same level of responsiveness reported by RUN users.
- Users say that RUN Powered by ADP offers a smoother implementation process, making it easier for businesses to get started. Reviewers have noted the intuitive onboarding wizard, which contrasts with some feedback on Inova Payroll, where users mentioned challenges in setup and configuration.
- Reviewers mention that RUN Powered by ADP provides a comprehensive suite of features that streamline payroll and HR tasks, including automated tax calculations and direct deposit options. Inova Payroll, while effective in managing payroll and benefits, does not offer the same breadth of features, which some users feel limits its overall utility.
- Users highlight that RUN Powered by ADP's reporting and dashboard capabilities are superior, allowing for better data visualization and insights. Inova Payroll's reporting features, while functional, are seen as less robust, with some users expressing a desire for more advanced analytics options.
- According to recent feedback, RUN Powered by ADP is particularly favored by small businesses, with 95.4% of reviews coming from this segment, indicating a strong alignment with their needs. Inova Payroll, on the other hand, is more focused on mid-market companies, which may not resonate as well with smaller organizations looking for tailored solutions.
