We saved the company and our employees significant money. > > **Cons**: The Time and Attendance feature is awful. It. Requires so much more work than other payroll company platforms. > > We have made the decision to partner with another PEO going forward. ADP TotalSource was not the right fit for us. ----- ### "HR Support That Actually Shows Up" — 5.0/5 > **Elizabeth** | *6 January 2026* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: ADP TotalSource has been a great solution thanks to its user-friendly platform, flexible options, easy and reliable payroll processing, and robust reporting capabilities. Payroll is straightforward and efficient, making routine processing smooth and stress-free. The system is easy to navigate overall, which saves time across day-to-day HR tasks. The biggest benefit, however, is the dedicated HR Business Partner that comes with the service. The guidance and support provided are consistently helpful, and I always receive the assistance I need in a timely manner. > > **Cons**: The only challenge I’ve experienced with ADP TotalSource is navigating the reporting section, as the wide variety of reports can make it difficult to quickly locate the specific report I’m looking for, which can occasionally result in wasted time. However, assistance is always available and reaching out for help usually resolves the issue quickly. > > Overall, my experience with ADP TotalSource has been very positive. The platform delivers a reliable, well-rounded HR solution with simple, dependable payroll processing and strong HR support. The HR Business Partner model adds significant value and provides confidence in handling both routine and complex HR matters. While there are occasional learning curves, particularly within reporting and the available support helps offset those challenges. ADP TotalSource has been a dependable partner that improves efficiency, reduces stress, and supports consistent payroll and HR operations. ----- ### "User-friendly, but costs are becoming prohibitive" — 4.0/5 > **Greta** | *19 March 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The platform is very easy to use for staff. From the Admin perspective, it is also very user-friendly. > > **Cons**: The cost is high for a nonprofit like ours. The market has other options for similar products for lower costs. ----- ### "Maybe ADP needs to listen to clients and fix problems" — 2.0/5 > **Allen** | *8 January 2026* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: Attentiveness to getting the payroll run each period, very strong state tax department, 401K program administration runs well. > > **Cons**: Inability to handle complex matters, large bureaucracy, failure to take responsibility for mistakes, many unresolved issues that just die on the vine and inability to offer competitive benefits > > Fair - I have been a ADP total source client for 15 years now. Instead of getting better the overall service went down in quality. I constantly have to audit the work product. Also, due to ADP negligence I have surfaced numerous federal tax errors on government programs... ----- ### "ADP does it ALL\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jasmine** | *22 December 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: There are so many things, but number \#1 would be all of the different thing it covers that we no longer have to handle internally (benefits, handbook, training, time clock, recruiting). Very modern technology compared to other platforms we looked at as well\! > > **Cons**: That we don't have just one individual trained workers comp person. We have plenty of people to help with questions, but I would like one dedicated trained person for our group. > > Overall it has been great. We have had a few bumps in the road and had to change our HRBP a few times, but are happy with our current one. ----- Page: 1 / 20\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/420888/adp-totalsource?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/420888/adp-totalsource) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
