There are a lot of reports to help manage the business and review important financial information related to payroll. > > **Cons**: I wish there was more how-to guides that taught you what you should know. Sometimes it feels like if I don't know what to ask, I don't know what I'm missing. In other words, a "let me teach you how to use this and all the things you should know" would be really helpful. The taxes document portal can be frustrating as I don't find that I get clear resolution without looking for it and keeping up with it myself. > > I would say the experience has been very positive. The product always seems to work as intended. I do think there is probably a lot that I don't know or understand because I haven't been taught how things are intended to work, I'm just learning myself as I go. I also think the onboarding, off boarding, and invoices are not clear. That can be frustrating, though the chat support always helps when I asks questions. ----- ### "Great Payroll System" — 5.0/5 > **Kara** | *9 February 2023* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use to pay employees or contractors via direct deposit, they file all the important reports and make sure taxes are taken out and filed as well. > > **Cons**: Sometimes the system can be glitchy and difficult to set up new states. ----- ### "Sales and Marketing Director" — 5.0/5 > **Patrick** | *20 July 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Everything I need to run payroll and get HR support is at my fingertips. The mobile app allows for me to be away and still make sure that payroll is run and problems are solved right then and there. > > **Cons**: I wish that in the payroll screen, the available sick time and vacation time for each employee was visibile on that screen. I hate having to go and run a report to see if they have enough time to cover being away from work > > I came from Paychex and immediately the customer service and support was better. I figured that after the honeymoon was over, the service quality would drop, but it didn't. It actually got better. ----- ### "“A User-Friendly, All-in-One Solution for Growing Businesses”" — 5.0/5 > **Melisha** | *28 August 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about RUN Powered by ADP is how user-friendly the system is for both administrators and employees. It makes managing payroll, employee information, and day-to-day HR tasks straightforward and efficient. Most importantly, I really appreciate ADP’s customer service. Whenever I call with a question or need assistance, the representatives are helpful, knowledgeable, and willing to walk me through the issue until it is resolved. > > **Cons**: The main downside for me is the cost. While I find the platform valuable and easy to use, I do wish the overall pricing was a little more affordable, especially for a growing business. > > My overall experience with RUN Powered by ADP has been great. I appreciate how ADP continues to evolve and grow alongside the needs of my business. I especially value having so many services and resources available under one roof, which makes managing payroll, HR, and other business needs much more convenient and efficient. ----- Page: 1 / 64\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/422321/run-powered-by-adp?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/422321/run-powered-by-adp) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
