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

"ADP is a good solution if you want simple, static systems."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"The most valuable features for us are the abilities it provides for us to generate our financial statements and to develop our own customized reports exactly how we want."
"It is a very consistent product on IBM and there is also a lot of knowledge data."
"The most valuable features of the Oracle E-Business Suite are best practices, built-in processes, and easy configuration, with plenty of system functionality and customization."
"At our various customers, the software tends to pay for itself in less than two years."
"Very flexible in terms of configurations and it's capable of integrations."
"Oracle EBS adapts to our business rules, so we don't have to change them, whereas SAP is rigid. We need to change our business rules to implement SAP. Oracle's reporting is also excellent and it's easier for our technical team to customize the solution compared to SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, and other products."
"Oracle provides pretty good data plans for E-Business Suite so that you can customize using Java if you want."
"The kind of features they have provided is very helpful."
 

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."
"Movement of CIP Inventory cannot be monitored in Inventory module when we are using the CIP Account or movement of CIP Inventory in Asset module, which is not flexible like Inventory module."
"Some of my clients report that the overall ease of use could be simplified."
"Upgrading is a nightmare. I mean, I shouldn’t describe it as a nightmare, but I get nervous whenever they upgrade."
"I think it would be nice to see some streamlining of the process. There's a lot of screens to go through, a lot of levels to get down to."
"The user interface could be better; it's not good because they made their interface all in one, and my customers don't want to use it."
"It's difficult for some customers to understand in the beginning. A user really has to understand the processes."
"The way things are going, Oracle is not putting much effort into their master data management. They need to look into machine data and then the integrated data domain."
"Sometimes with Oracle support, depending on the analyst you get, you can hit walls in trying to find answers."
 

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."
"We have an annual license to use the Oracle E-Business Suite and we have an enterprise license."
"Oracle's pricing is lower than that of its competitors."
"There is an annual licensing fee and you are able to add features depending on the scope of the environment."
"Licensing and costing of Oracle EBS is very complex. We recommend to use a system integrator during the negotiation process since Oracle sales representatives sometime do not know the actual minimum requirements and may oversell the necessary licenses through ignorance."
"E-Business Suite's pricing could be lower."
"Oracle has different licensing models available. For example, concurrent user license metric and power unit licensing metric. It is different from product to product, but for the application itself, the license is by the number of users."
"Oracle's licenses are not straightforward."
"It's quite expensive, even though they gave us a discount."
