Best for time, scheduling and absence at enterprises
WorkForce Software does time, scheduling and absence for large employers and is now branded ADP WorkForce Suite after ADP's acquisition. No price is published. It doesn't describe employee records or recruiting.
Who WorkForce Software is for
- Fits if you schedule large shift-based teams
- Works for companies already in the ADP family
Who WorkForce Software is not for
- Skip it if you want a posted price, as the site points to a demo
- Not for you if you're a small team, as the site describes an enterprise product
- Too light for HR records or recruiting, which aren't described
- Watch out: the product is now branded ADP WorkForce Suite, so things may move
Why WorkForce Software gets a 1.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo price is published, so there's nothing to set against the $2 to $9 a seat a month this category charges. That leaves it at C.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan and no trial is listed. You start with a demo request.
- CFeaturesTime, scheduling and absence is a narrow slice of HR, and the pages read don't describe records or recruiting. It does that slice fully, so C.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record, and you'd set it up with your own people data first, so it's an ordinary C.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with three listed integrations. No mobile or desktop app named.

Keep WorkForce Software, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of WorkForce Software you could make: time off and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 46 of the 101 other HR software grade higher.
What you could make
- Time off and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Clocking in from a phone, checked against where and when.
- A rota the whole staff sees on their phones, with swaps and alerts.
What this rests on. WorkForce Software’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
