Prashant Shetty - PeerSpot reviewer
A tool to help manage global payroll that needs to improve the area of customization after its implementation
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a six out of ten. With ADP GlobalView Payroll, if I have to scale up the operations, one of the practical challenges I would like to highlight here is that in the post-implementation phase, if there are any new system enhancements or customization requests, it takes a lot of time to work with ADP to implement such changes. In the present time, every business has to operate in an agile manner, but I think that when it comes to the area revolving around change and control, there is a cost involved in ADP, and it comes as part of ADP's global contract. Most of the time, users may find that the prices quoted are not reasonable to justify the efforts involved from ADP's end. Most of the companies that fall under the category of Fortune 100 use ADP GlobalView Payroll, especially in the APAC region and Europe. The good thing with ADP GlobalView Payroll is that its system can be integrated with any HR system, like Workday or SAP SuccessFactors, since the integration is very seamless because many companies use global HR systems.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"If someone wants a good payroll system with a good presence in the APAC region and Europe, then without a doubt, ADP GlobalView Payroll falls at the top of the list of best tools."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Good solution if you want simple, static systems."
"Payroll is always the central area the tool focuses on. It needs to ensure things are flowing, employees are paid on time, and there are no issues related to location, pay, or hiring. SAP HCM helps observe all the work, from hiring to paying paychecks every month. It's a system that depends on the data you input. You don't want to work with bad data and expect miracles. If the data isn't clean, it's more work."
"The user interface is the solution's most valuable feature. It makes it easy for us to use."
"It has the best data management features."
"Payroll processing is my favorite HCM feature, and I like all the SuccessFactors talent modules also. SAP is making good progress on enhancements to the features in the SF modules."
"They have some interesting features in the learning space."
"We've found that the solution has the capability to scale."
"Recently, the localization versions for different countries were increased, and that added value to the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the Personnel Administration."
 

Cons

"With big companies, it takes a long time to run when it comes to the reporting part."
"The portal where employees log in to check their weekly tax statements is called ADP ESS, an area where improvements are needed."
"Projects tend to take longer because ADP wants to manage everything."
"It needs a lot of end user training as it is not intuitive at all."
"SAP now does the most innovation for the cloud solution and less innovation for the on-premises client."
"The setup comes with a set of challenges as well."
"A better user interface and greater AI integration are crucial."
"SAP HCM has many different channels for communication with the consultants which makes it complex. There are delays when there is a problem."
"When performing reconciliation, manual entry is sometimes required, and barcode scanning isn't always available."
"The product's learning and development features could be better, including new exclusive LMS tools."
"The breadth of functionality offered by SAP HCM comes at a cost."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If users consider the license of the solution, then it is an expensive tool."
"I believe that ADP GlobalView Payroll is an expensive solution."
"SAP is extremely expensive. The integration costs and customization costs are also a lot."
"The pricing is really high."
"The pricing depends upon the specific model and number of user accounts included in a bundle."
"We purchase the product's yearly license."
"The pricing is not reasonable at all."
"Licensing is pretty complex. SAP does not have a straight forward way of licensing, and it differs from client to client."
