With Paycom, they were not very helpful and we always felt like we were given the run around. We were always transferred in a circle to try and get someone to help or answer our questions. The ADP reps have always been able to assist us and walk us through any issue we may have.

It's a fairly night and day change — we mainly moved for reporting, compliance, and overall usability and efficiency reasons, but many more have cropped up since. ... I've found [ADP] to be a product that can pretty much fit whatever need you have and go extremely deep while still being incredibly accessible for line managers and self-service users.
