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.

Has connected financial data across departments and improved future cash flow planning
I would like to improve the integration with other solutions, as I need everything integrated, like the HR module, purchase module, SCM, production, and engineering. Each and every module should be connected to the finance module, and I think Oracle provides the right solution. Also, SAP, IFS, or Microsoft Dynamics 365 offer some solutions, but I am not as happy with them as I am with Oracle. I believe that Oracle E-Business Suite could improve by transitioning from Java-based scripts in our system to a web-based environment. While Oracle already has JD Edwards available in web-based format, I think it needs to be smoother for optimization and presentation in the future. In comparison, IFS is fully web-based, and all applications are sufficiently good and user-friendly. We are developing and trying to improve to a web-based setup, but it is currently too costly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"ADP is a good solution if you want simple, static systems."
"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."
"It has everything in one place, so we can just access one piece of software for payables, GL, PO, projects, and everything just integrates together, helping us reduce data entry, minimize human intervention, save time, and ultimately save money."
"To do this before on paper basis, it was very time consuming, and now they can use the gained time to properly manage their workforce."
"I especially like E-Business Suite's data management functionality - I would say it provides perfect data management inside the app."
"E-Business Suite's best features are BAT functionality, flexibility, configurability, and integration with Oracle Database."
"It's highly customizable."
"The supplier invoice payment process is very easy and is integrated from the requisition to the payment (and to creating the asset)."
"There is essentially one solution for every industry within Oracle — you won't require a third-party solution."
"The most valuable feature from our experience with E-Business Suite is definitely its ease of use."
 

Cons

"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."
"With big companies, it takes a long time to run when it comes to the reporting part."
"We don't like Oracle EBS because it is very old. Nowadays, all the systems are on the cloud and web-based."
"Looking at the product on a large scale, some of the features are more spreadsheet-based with data updates."
"It feels like everything has to be marked severity 1, critical, 24/7, sometimes in order for it to get something done."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is heavy subscriptions based and the solution's upgrades, under the technology licensing, are quite costly."
"The main challenge has been the annual maintenance cost."
"We've found that technical support has been challenging as they are not always the most forthcoming with information nor are they the most highly-trained techs when you open SRs."
"There are some business-specific processes still not implemented. We need the IPC solution subcontractor management that is not available."
"When I look at some of my previous companies, they spent millions of dollars on deployment and even just doing an upgrade."
 

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."
"Considering the market at the moment, Oracle needs to adjust the pricing of this solution."
"The pricing of Oracle E-Business Suite is too high."
"The pricing of the solution is at about $700-$750 per year."
"We have an annual license to use the Oracle E-Business Suite and we have an enterprise license."
"Both the current projects and future projects should be defined well. Licensing should be done according to current and near future plans."
"This is a highly-priced application and would not be affordable for small or medium business domains."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is cheaper than SAP. It is expensive."
