Where it wins. A 35% mention rate in HR and Payroll keeps ADP in the conversation more often than not, placing it 7th among 15 rivals in its only measured category.
Where it loses. Zero first-pick selections means AI models list ADP alongside Rippling, Gusto, and Workday but consistently hand the recommendation to someone else, and its total absence from best-overall prompts confirms buyers asking for a clear winner simply do not get ADP's name.
