Where they pull apart

ADP Workforce Now

Stands out: One ADP suite for payroll, talent, time, and benefits aimed at companies that have outgrown starter payroll.

Watch out: There is no public per-employee menu. Implementation and modules are scoped in a sales cycle.

Not the right fit for

Five-person shops that want a published $29 payroll plan
Buyers who need same-day self-serve checkout

Infor HCM

Stands out: Infor HCM sits inside CloudSuite, so HR, payroll, and WFM can share the same industry CloudSuite (healthcare, public sector, manufacturing) as the ERP.

Watch out: Forbes-style roundups cite a 5,000-user class of deal. This is not an SMB HRIS. Implementation is partner-led.

Not the right fit for

SMBs under a few thousand employees looking for Gusto or BambooHR
Teams that need a printed per-employee rate before an RFP

HCM that can share CloudSuite with ERP and supply chain instead of a sidecar HRIS
Industry WFM and AI agents for healthcare and public sector
Full hire-to-retire span including payroll and learning

No public rate card

Poor fit under mid-market headcount
