"Effortless Payroll with Excellent Reporting"
5/5
What do you like best about RUN Powered by ADP?

I find the reports in RUN Powered by ADP very clear, making it easy to understand the payroll details. Running payroll is straightforward, and entering information is just a breeze. I love the reminder every payroll week. The 'payroll details' section is particularly helpful when doing journal entries at the end of the month, as it provides all the necessary information. It's also great to have the payroll liabilities feature, which helps me keep track of expenses. Setting up RUN Powered by ADP was really easy and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RUN Powered by ADP?

When I run the payroll and don't have to pay a full-time employee because they didn't work the full 80 hours, if I only input 35 hours, the amount doesn't change. This forced me to cancel the payroll, and once it's canceled, it's not clear what to do next. I had to call ADP to get instructions, and they said I should run a payroll at zero to annul the first one, but that information isn't clear or written anywhere.

"Seamless, User-Friendly Payroll with Worry-Free Tax Filing"
5/5
What do you like best about RUN Powered by ADP?

What I find most helpful about RUN Powered by ADP is how seamless and user-friendly the entire payroll process is. It simplifies payroll management by automatically handling payroll tax calculations, filings, and payments, which saves time and helps ensure accuracy and compliance. Having those tax responsibilities managed for me provides peace of mind and allows me to focus more on running my business instead of worrying about payroll administration.

What do you dislike about RUN Powered by ADP?

One downside of RUN Powered by ADP is the limited flexibility when it comes to funding payroll with a credit card. It would be helpful to have the option to cover payroll expenses using a credit card when needed for short-term cash flow management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"RUN Powered by ADP Makes Payroll Simple, Efficient, and Easy to Manage"
5/5
What do you like best about RUN Powered by ADP?

What I like best about RUN Powered by ADP is that it makes payroll relatively simple and straightforward to manage, even when payroll is only one of many responsibilities I handle. The platform is easy to navigate, payroll processing is efficient, and having payroll taxes, filings, employee information, and reporting in one place saves a significant amount of time. I also appreciate having access to support when I run into something that isn’t part of my normal payroll routine. Overall, RUN allows me to handle payroll confidently and efficiently without it becoming an overly time-consuming administrative task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RUN Powered by ADP?

My biggest frustration with RUN Powered by ADP is that some tasks are less intuitive than they should be, particularly when making changes that fall outside of routine payroll processing. Certain settings and functions can be difficult to locate, and there are times when something that seems like it should be a simple update requires contacting support. I would also appreciate more flexibility with bulk changes and uploads, especially for things like employee deductions and benefit updates. Overall, the platform works very well for regular payroll processing, but some of the less frequently used administrative functions could be more streamlined and user-friendly.

"Easy-to-Use Payroll & HR with Helpful Reports and Quickbooks Online Integration"
4.5/5
What do you like best about RUN Powered by ADP?

I use ADP RUN mainly for payroll and HR. The payroll system is easy to use, even for someone without an HR background. I also like the reports it can generate, and the onboarding process is much simpler than the manual methods I’ve used in the past. It integrates well with Quickbooks Online, which helps me track wages and tax expenses more accurately. Overall, it’s a straightforward system to navigate, even though it can feel fairly technical at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RUN Powered by ADP?

There are so many different reports to choose from that it can feel overwhelming to find the right one. I only end up using a small handful of reports, and many of the others seem geared toward larger businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Payroll and Cost Efficiency"
5/5
What do you like best about RUN Powered by ADP?

I use RUN Powered by ADP for payroll and legal compliance, and I love how it files all necessary paperwork for taxes in my payroll filing. It's easy to complete payroll quickly, and I really like that direct deposit gets my employees their money fast. The online portal is great because it allows me to quickly input numbers and gives me a notice if payroll figures seem different than usual. The setup was easy as well; every employee was able to enter their information on their own, which saved me time for onboarding and allowed them to secure their data more easily. Overall, switching to RUN Powered by ADP saved us a lot of money, cutting our payroll bill in half. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RUN Powered by ADP?

Due to the amount of options for reports and data sometimes it can be hard to find what I am looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5

What do you dislike about RUN Powered by ADP?

The only downside I can reveal is the tax reports can be a little confusing to access. I have to search a bit too long to get what I need. The great thing about the chat is that I am always helped if I need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive, Reliable Payroll Software with Valuable HR Support"
4.5/5
What do you like best about RUN Powered by ADP?

The thing I like the most about this software is that it's easy to use and very intuitive to use. The way the software is laid out, is similar to other web applications with a menu bar in the left to jump to different sections. The software also provides reminders such as if it's a holiday coming up and payroll has to be submitted earlier. I also like that any questions I have I can easily call and get a person. I can call if I have questions about the software and using it, or call if I have a HR question. We use this software for payroll, keeping track of employee records, and workers comp insurance. The software does have integrations with other platforms and software, but we do not use this feature yet. Overall the performance of the software is very reliable. When it does maintenance, it is overnight and outside of business hours. There is a banner at the top of the software that announces any upcoming planned maintenance. The pricing of the software if fair for everything it provides. Having that number to call for HR support has been huge, and allowed our business to not have to hire a dedicated HR person which is a huge return in investment for the business. The software does have AI features, but we do not use these yet. However I feel confident that we will use it in the future as it learns our business and our trends with payroll. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RUN Powered by ADP?

The downsides can be the wait times on the phone. 90% of the time I call, I am able to speak with a person within two minutes. However at the end of the year and beginning of the year, the wait times can be up to 45 minutes. Another thing I dislike, is that we constantly get calls to try to upsell us on other services. I appreciate that they have other services, but when I tell them no, they come back a few months later to try to upsell the same services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined Payroll, Effortless Navigation"
5/5
What do you like best about RUN Powered by ADP?

I really like how easy it is to navigate RUN Powered by ADP through the app and website. Everything is organized in tabs, making it easy to add employees and manage manual checks. It's really organized and easy to use, which helps make payroll super fast, super quick, and super easy. We can get it all done in just a few hours. The transition to using it was very smooth, and it's easy to understand after a few days. I like that everything is organized on the side, and when you click on a symbol, it tells you what it is, like 'report' or 'payroll,' making it really easy to navigate.

What do you dislike about RUN Powered by ADP?

This may be a technical issue, but I the app crashes sometimes, and is also slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Better Payroll Performance Makes Busy accounting work Easier"
4.5/5
What do you like best about RUN Powered by ADP?

The payroll register is probably the part of RUN I value most. I use it as a reference point for checking deductions and reconciling payroll totals with our accounting records. Having payroll history available also helps when I need to trace a figure during month-end work. The UI/UX matters to me mainly because I need to find those records and reports without wasting effort navigating around. I wouldn't choose a payroll system based on AI or intelligence features, though. Those can be useful in principle, but they don't replace an accountant reviewing payroll liabilities and confirming that the numbers agree with the books. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RUN Powered by ADP?

One area I’d like to see become stronger is the support experience when a payroll question falls outside the routine process. RUN handles the standard payroll work well enough for my needs, but an unusual accounting or payroll question can require more clarification than I’d prefer. I’m fairly comfortable investigating numbers myself, so this isn't something that causes major disruption, but I do notice the difference when I need a precise answer rather than general guidance. More direct support for those less common situations would make the product more useful from an accounting perspective. I don't need constant assistance; I’d mainly value having a dependable path to a specific answer when something falls outside the normal workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Extremely Organized Payroll Data with Easy, Accessible Support"
5/5
What do you like best about RUN Powered by ADP?

In terms of entering and finding important data, it's extremely organized. I've used a couple other payroll services that are extremely difficult to track down specifics about past paychecks or obtain W2's. I can also chat with someone either on the phone or the text box right on the home page, which makes solving any particular issues simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RUN Powered by ADP?

Some employee side issues. I have an employee who works at a different site than me and works primarily in a kitchen with fast paced high turnover. He's unable to access his personal account and for some reason I'm required to make a three way call while he's trying to log in to troubleshoot together. I don't understand how I can't authorize an employee to troubleshoot only his own account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
