"Innovative Ad Features Like Text to Apply and QR Codes Stand Out"
What do you like best about APS?

I like the ad features like the text to apply feature, the QR code poster, etc. I also like the onboarding part of APS and how new hires can get sent an email to complete those documents prior to starting. It makes things easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about APS?

I can't delete employees after 24 hours if they didn't actually start with us but you guys do help me with that if i need it done. I also can't make someone inactive on the onboarding part of APS if i choose "former" or "current" employee. It makes me select "never" started with us for it to work. The employee doesn't get deleted otherwise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exceptional Support and Expertise—APS Never Disappoints"
What do you like best about APS?

Over the past three years, I have submitted numerous requests, and the response time has always been impressively fast. The staff demonstrates a strong understanding of everything related to APS, and if they are ever unsure about something, they make sure to find the answer promptly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about APS?

Having worked with APS for nearly three years, I have yet to encounter anything worth complaining about. Although we did experience a minor issue with our scheduler, their team was able to resolve it and get everything running smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable and efficient platform for managing processes"
What do you like best about APS?

APS provides a very intuitive interface that makes navigation simple even for new users. The platform is stable, reliable, and allows us to manage tasks smoothly without unnecessary complications. The reporting and tracking features are clear and useful, making it easier to follow progress and keep everything organized. Its ability to streamline processes saves both time and effort, which is one of the biggest advantages for daily operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about APS?

While APS is a strong tool overall, there are areas where it could be improved. The customization options are somewhat limited, which means adapting it fully to specific workflows can take extra effort. At times, customer support response can be a bit slow when dealing with more complex issues. Additionally, integrations with third-party tools are functional but not always as seamless as expected, which can require additional manual work to bridge the gaps Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Hope Dasher of APS

Hi Wilmar, thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that APS has helped your team simplify payroll and HR by consolidating everything into one intuitive platform. It’s great to know the reporting, tracking, and process streamlining features are saving you valuable time and effort.

We also appreciate your insights on customization, support responsiveness, and third-party integrations. Feedback like this helps us identify areas for continued improvement, and we’ll be sure to share your comments with our product and support teams.

We’re glad APS is making a positive impact on your daily operations and employee experience, and we look forward to supporting your success as you grow.

"Outstanding Support, But Interface Can Be Clunky"
What do you like best about APS?

The best thing about APS is the customer service! I was very new to my role and jumped in to APS with no training and they were so great to walk me through everything. They are there at almost ANY time and get back to me promptly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about APS?

Some of the downsides is that it can be "clunky". As with everything there are some limitations, some make sense but some seems like there has got to be a better way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about APS?

Nothing I can identify. They have supported us every time in a timely and professional manner. I have referred APS to other businesses. I have used other payroll products and still prefer APS overall Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing experience"
What do you like best about APS?

What I like best about APS, is the way it transforms complex operations into a clear, efficient, and optimized process. For me, the biggest value is how APS not only improves accuracy in planning but also supports smarter decision-making, reduces bottlenecks, and ultimately drives better performance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about APS?

What I find most challenging about APS is that, while it’s a powerful tool, it often requires significant effort in setup, data accuracy, and ongoing maintenance. If the input data isn’t clean or aligned across systems, the results can be less effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Hope Dasher of APS

We’re so glad to hear that the platform has helped transform complex operations into clear, efficient processes that support smarter decision-making and improved performance.

"Effortless, Intuitive, and Supported—A True Game-Changer for Our Team"
What do you like best about APS?

This system has been a game-changer for us. Since the transition, our employees have been genuinely thrilled—it’s intuitive, efficient, and incredibly user-friendly. The support team is outstanding: responsive, knowledgeable, and consistently resolving issues on the first try. Unlike our previous experiences with Sage and Paycor, which required constant involvement from our IT team, this platform runs seamlessly with zero IT assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about APS?

I have no complaints about APS; it meets all of our requirements. There is nothing missing from the software, and I have never felt the need to request additional features or visit their wishlist to vote for changes. We are completely satisfied with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Hope Dasher of APS

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that APS has been such a positive change for your team and that the transition has made day-to-day processes smoother for both HR and employees. It’s especially great to know that the platform’s ease of use and automation have eliminated the need for IT involvement — that’s exactly the kind of efficiency we strive to deliver.

We’re also happy to hear that benefits administration has been a success and that your team is already seeing the impact on onboarding and open enrollment. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we’re grateful for your partnership!

"APS: Strong Support, Smooth Implementation, and Helpful Enhancements Ahead"
What do you like best about APS?

In July 2024, our company transitioned from our previous payroll provider to Automatic Payroll Systems, Inc. (APS). Our former provider struggled with poor customer service, frequent staff turnover, and system updates that regularly caused other features to break. After a year of attempting to resolve ongoing issues from a flawed implementation, we evaluated several Payroll and HRIS platforms before ultimately selecting APS.

From the initial demo through implementation and go-live, APS took the time to understand our business. They weren’t just focused on selling software—they were focused on building a relationship. Their team made a genuine effort to understand our unique needs and ensure we had the right functionality in place. We had a goal of consolidating multiple systems. APS worked with us patiently as we gradually added features such as APS Hire, Benefits Administration, ACA Hours Tracking, ACA Alerts and Reporting, and COBRA services.

The customer service after go-live has been outstanding. We have a dedicated support team that consistently responds to our tickets and inquiries within two business hours, which is a huge improvement over our previous experience.

Approximately six months after implementation, we added even more APS services, including Benefits, ACA Alerts and Reporting, Carrier Connection, and COBRA. These additions significantly reduced manual work, minimized errors, and allowed us to consolidate even more systems under one platform. They also consistently add new updates or enhancements to their platform.

I would highly recommend APS to companies looking for more than just a vendor. With APS, you're not just a number—they truly care about their clients and continue to exceed my expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about APS?

My company operates multiple locations, and each one must be set up independently within APS. I’d love to see enhanced functionality that supports bulk updates across all company profiles, which would save significant time and effort. Additionally, it would be incredibly helpful if APS allowed for bulk document uploads to employee profiles rather than requiring one-at-a-time submissions. Lastly, having a centralized dashboard to view Event Tracking and Employee Updates across all locations without having to log into APS and then select each company individually would greatly improve usability and efficiency. APS Online is not user-friendly on a mobile device; it would be helpful for admin users on the go to have better access and functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Hope Dasher of APS

Thank you, Adam, for such a thoughtful and detailed review! We’re truly honored to be your trusted partner and are so glad your transition to APS brought the smooth implementation, reliable support, and system consolidation your team needed. Your feedback about bulk updates, document uploads, and multi-location visibility is incredibly helpful—we’re always looking for ways to enhance the usability and efficiency of the platform. We appreciate your continued partnership and are excited to keep growing with you!

"Highly Recommend APS"
What do you like best about APS?

APS is a very friendly and intuitive package but the best thing about their company is the incredible customer service. You get assigned to a specific team and you know their names and contact information. It is easy to connect with them when you have an issue and they are very prompt at helping resolve it. This is incredibly comforting because many times the issues are very time sensitive. We don't have a lot of issues, but when we do we know they will help us resolve it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about APS?

The interface has been vastly improved since we first started using it, but there is still room for further improvement in this area. The current interface does not in any way diminish the software's capability and the user's ability to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Hope Dasher of APS

Thanks so much for the kind words, Brian. We're thrilled to hear that our intuitive platform and dedicated support team have made a positive impact for you. Your feedback on the interface is appreciated and will help guide our ongoing improvements. We're grateful to be your partner in making payroll and HR more efficient and secure.
