I have had no issues with this at all. When you think that you aren't going to get your moneys worth you defiantly will. It is worth what you pay for. Customer support has checked in with us weekly to make sure that things are running smoothly with us. The Speed is great, and I love that it tells you if there is enough money in the bank account so there is no risk of overdrawing. > > **Cons**: The only thing that I do not like is that if I go to add in PTO or Holiday or sick pay for one pay period that it keeps it in for the next pay period and doesn't automatically reset. > > I love that the communication with everyone has been great\! everyone has been following up with us making sure that things are going smoothly. Getting all of my employee documents uploaded was the easiest thing from switching over from our last company. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "ADP RUN: The Go to Payroll Platform for SMBs" — 5.0/5 > **Eri** | *1 June 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: When it comes to payroll providers there are many options to choose from in the space. As a CAS firm, ADP Run is the perfect solution for our small business clients. Run is an easy to use solution for onboarding employees and running their payroll. ADPs team is also a big help when it comes to onboarding or small business clients. > > **Cons**: Overall there are not too many issues with RUN. I would say there is room for them to advance the technical side of their product like some of their competitors have. The QBO integration could have a few more features and be a bit more robust than it's current iteration. > > Overall Run Powered by ADP is the perfect solution for offering an easy to use payroll platform for my clients. It covers all of their compliance needs and is able to handle the variety of payroll needs that may arise from their industry. ----- ### "The Smoothest Payroll Transition We've Ever Had ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐" — 5.0/5 > **Cassidy** | *29 July 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: RUN Powered by ADP has been incredibly easy to implement and use. Payroll processing is fast, accurate, and straightforward, and the interface is intuitive enough that we were comfortable with it almost immediately. Customer support has been outstanding whenever we've had questions, and the employee self-service features have made managing payroll and HR tasks much more efficient. Overall, the platform has saved us time and streamlined our payroll process. > > **Cons**: The only downside we've encountered is that a few employees have had trouble with the mobile app depending on the type of device they're using. In those cases, they were able to access everything through the web browser, so it hasn't been a major issue, but we'd love to see improved consistency across all mobile devices. > > We've been using RUN Powered by ADP for about a month, and it's exceeded our expectations. The transition was smooth, the system has been reliable, and payroll has run flawlessly every pay period. It's user-friendly, efficient, and backed by excellent customer support. We're very happy with our decision to switch and would confidently recommend it to other small and growing businesses. ----- Page: 1 / 62\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/422321/run-powered-by-adp?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/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
