Pros Mo is a great platform to share individual and team achievements, while also rewarding colleagues or employees. It is also a great place to share ideas and important information across the business. Cons I don't have anything negative or cons that i don't like about Mo, except for the overall UI which has changed over the years. Review Source TK Terry K. HR Director of Operations Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "UKG Ready has been a benefit for our organization" April 7, 2026 5.0 I am happy with the decision to move to UKG Ready. We moved from a full-suite PEO to Ready and it was a massive change. UKG has been a good partner for us and so long as you are willing and able to invest the time during implementation, to ask questions, and provide the necessary institutional knowledge when it is needed, I suspect your experience will be good as well. Pros UKG Ready is a full service HRIS. In particular, I really appreciate the service that we receive when we put in a ticket. Of course the salesperson makes UKG sound great, and of course the demo provided always runs fantastically, but we all know in the real world that something unexpected will happen that requires extra assistance. When it does, I am happy to report that the service provided by the UKG team has been consistently very good. Their experts are knowledgeable, helpful, and seem to actually care about getting things right. Cons We have multiple employees across the US and around the globe, and that complexity does rear its head from time-to-time in the system. Some state and local taxes require a lot more effort than I wish they did. Some of the system limitations tied to global locations and currencies require creative solutions to solve. But overall, the good far outweighs the bad.

I'm glad we found UKG. Review Source Response from UKG April 10, 2026 Hi Terry, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! JW Jessika W. AVP, Human Resources Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "What was sold to what was given" November 4, 2025 3.0 Overall it is a better experience than our last HRIS but I was disappointed with what we were told we would have compared to the product we received. Pros Functionality first. It was one of the reasons we decided to move to UKG over our last HRIS. Reporting is more robust, timekeeping is more seamless, and customer support is quick with responding and setting up times to troubleshoot. Payroll is a much quicker process. Cons Implementation was less than ideal. We were sold product or oversold product that would have at least basic functionality for the product. Once we implemented we were told any additions come with a cost to us. An example of this is in the ATS portion of the ATS. The ATS does not track the sourcing location of a candidate and where they come from as all is listed as UKG. We were told in order to track that, we had to ask candidates to report that or pay more money to get it tracked, however, that is a basic function of any ATS and should not cost extra. The system should be smart enough to track where the candidate came from. The performance management model feels very dated. Switched from [ADP Workforce Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/155895/WorkforceNow/) We had a rough go with ADP. I spent months (almost a year) trying to get ADP to help us update and I never got any answers. I was setup with 9 different demos as an existing customer and eventually they shut us off. We had tickets open for a year with no one to help us. Our Rep only would help with Payroll, but Payroll was awful and full of mistakes ran by the system. Review Source JS Joy S. VP of Human Resources Machinery Used the software for: 2+ years ### "UKG A Great Choice" April 7, 2026 4.0 Great! We came from another provider with awful customer service, so it was great to be able to get the help we needed. Pros It is a great value for the money. Customer support is great, if they don't fix it, the case will not close until you are satisfied. It is also very customizable. Cons There are some weird one off issues that cannot be explained by the support team. However, they do fix it but cannot tell you what/how it happened. I also with UKG was more user friendly for people that do not do well with computers. Alternatives considered [Paylocity](https://www.capterra.com/p/86714/WebPay/) Reason for choosing UKG Ready Could not do what we needed it to. Similar to Paycom in our opinion Switched from [Paycom](https://www.capterra.com/p/130949/Paycom/) They had poor customer service, were expensive and not customizable. Review Source Response from UKG April 10, 2026 Hi Joy, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! DT Deborah T. Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We love UKG!" April 7, 2026 5.0 Excellent...we have been a customer since 2017 and I would not change for anything. Their support is tremendous and we love the fact that the entire user experience is in one system. Pros All in one software as a service which allows us to customize to fit our needs and scalable as we continue to grow. The app is also great and allows our employees flexibility to move from one job to another. Their customer support is fantastic and we usually get quick turnaround for any issues we may have. Cons The only con is really around the additional cost for modules like the LMS or the AI tools. It hinders us as a nonprofit to be able to utilize some of these tools. Switched from [ADP Workforce Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/155895/WorkforceNow/) Needed one system due to a merger and was unhappy with the lack of connectedness of ADP's multiple platforms to manage our workforce. Review Source Response from UKG April 10, 2026 Hi Deborah, Thank you for leaving a review! TL Tim L. Manager of Information Systems Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great platform for business" April 21, 2026 4.0 Some of our business processes are outside of the built-in functionality of UKG Ready but the integration team were able to make routines that solved our challenging requests. We have not found any use case their team was not able to find a solution for. Pros The platform can do just about anything you need for business. Customer support is very good and normally find our problem fairly quickly once they are engaged. The platform is good about releasing details of issues and bugs so that you can determine if a case is required or not. Cons The platform can do just about anything you need - while that is also a positive in my survey, the availability of so many options can be a challenge if not mapped out properly. Switched from [SourceDay](https://www.capterra.com/p/187682/SourceDay/) The platform was harder to use, difficult to solve our use cases and cost more than UKG Ready. Review Source Response from UKG April 22, 2026 Hi Tim, Thank you for leaving a review! We're glad to hear that UKG can do just about anything for your company. SH Scott H. Director of Business and Employee Relations Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Positive UKG review" April 22, 2026 4.0 Overall experience is very good. Very helpful when we do have issues and work hard to communicate with us. Pros Ability to communicate with staff continuously. Use of tabs on the home page to bring new ideas and reach our employees. Cons Small hiccups. Things work one week but not the next. Call pay & Holidays in Radiology and lab are still not correct. (We are equally at fault for not following up to get them corrected). FMLA - would love to get FMLA to work correctly, just does not track in Ready.

We're glad to hear that your overall experience with UKG has been good. HB Heather B. Accounting Specialist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "UKG Ready Lover" April 7, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with UKG Ready is really good. The employees like the phone app and the managers/approvers of timesheets all find it easy to navigate. Pros What I like most about UKG Ready is that it is user friendly. The checklist for payroll or quarter end work are super helpful. Cons The one thing I like least about UKG Ready is that customer service is is outsourced and sometimes there is a language barrier. Switched from [Paycor](https://www.capterra.com/p/133745/Paycor-Perform/) Paycor is giving us lots of issues. They didn't have the reporting that UKG offers. Customer service wasn't great.

Manager Consumer Goods Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "UKG needs work" May 27, 2026 3.0 Overall, my experience with UKG Ready has been positive because it makes scheduling, time management, and communication more convenient and accessible from a mobile device. Pros UKG Ready is convenient for checking schedules, requesting time off, swapping shifts, and clocking in or out from a mobile device. Cons The app can occasionally lag, crash, or have login issues, and notifications are not always reliable. Some features can also be confusing to navigate, especially after updates. Switched from [Paycor](https://www.capterra.com/p/133745/Paycor-Perform/) Company changed from paycor to ukg due to new management Review Source Response from UKG June 1, 2026 Hi Kat, Thank you for sharing your experience.

Teacher Child Day Care Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great and useful, but server issues cause problems " April 29, 2026 4.0 We switched over to this at our company and it was a very easy switch as the app itself is easy to navigate and understand, but the servers would be down often causing issues with timesheets. Pros Easy to use and navigate. Convenient to use the mobile app and adjust schedules as needed and check time sheets. Cons Although it is convenient, there were various times that it was unusable due to server errors or the server being down. Switched from [Paycom](https://www.capterra.com/p/130949/Paycom/) Company’s budget changed which called for a switch Review Source WS Wali S. Talent Acquisition Specialist Insurance Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "UKG Ready is fine, but not nearly as good as UKG UltiPro" April 21, 2025 3.0 The ATS is fine, but not necessarily user friendly Pros Job requisitions and job postings are fairly easy to manager Cons There are way too many clicks to get to a candidate, specifically in the ATS Switched from [ICIMS Hire](https://www.capterra.com/p/93248/iCIMS-Recruit/) Company was bought out and we had to find our own ATS Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner Human Resources Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Happy customer " May 28, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with UKG Ready has been positive. It provides a user-friendly interface with strong functionality for HR, payroll, and time management. The system is generally reliable and streamlines routine processes well. While there is a learning curve for some advanced features, it becomes efficient once configured properly. Pros Its all-in-one HR functionality stands out, making it easy to manage payroll, time tracking, scheduling, and employee data in a single, user-friendly platform. Cons The reporting tools can feel limited or less flexible for highly customized needs, and generating more advanced reports may require extra steps or support.

HR Coordinator Furniture Used the software for: 2+ years ### "UKG Ready HRIS Review" April 8, 2026 4.0 Overall, my experience with UKG Ready has been positive, especially when it comes to access and availability. The system is easy to access when needed, which helps both employees and managers stay on track. I also really appreciate the paperless aspect, as it makes processes more efficient and keeps everything organized in one place. Pros The system is very easy to navigate, even for new users. The time tracking features are reliable and make it simple to manage employee hours. Cons The main drawback of UKG Ready is the occasional bugs and system issues. However, their support team is reliable and does a good job responding to tickets in a timely manner. Switched from [Sage 100](https://www.capterra.com/p/227232/Sage-100cloud/) We wanted a one stop shop paperless system.

Payroll Manager Food Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "UKG Review" April 16, 2026 4.0 Generally one of teh best systems I have used over my 20 years in Payroll. Always improving the customer experience. On top of new technology like AI. Pros Ease of Use. Once learned its very simple to set up your needs on this system. Customer support. I think its one of teh best customer support system I have used. Cons Payroll System is an add on. API works well. But nice to have it all in one system Part time hourly rate is skewed due to it needing to flow correctly to Payroll Metrics Switched from [MYOB Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/183867/MYOB-Business/) Our company outgrew the capability of MYOB Review Source Response from UKG April 17, 2026 Hi Nicholas, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We're glad to hear that you've experienced great customer support. JM Joanne M. Manager Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "UKG - Great software. " November 24, 2025 5.0 It is fast and easy. I have my schedules in and set, employees can request times off and I can approve on the spot and they are directly notified. Pros Ease of use definitely. I took just common sense to be able to move around the software easily and offers a lot. Time keeping, scheduling, great workplace management. Cons Was difficult for employees to log in when requesting time off. Perhaps someone with less computer experience found it difficult. Review Source AA Ashley A. RN Mental Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "UKG Review- seamless" March 10, 2026 4.0 I believe UKG has been one of the easiest and most seamless payroll areas of medical I have worked in. The customer service is also very helpful and quick with responses. Pros The payroll processing is seamless and it is very simple to look at time cards and fix mistakes or add PTO to a day. It shows you each area of the time off you have accumulated and not just a generic message. Cons It was very difficult to get to the benefit section or figure out how to edit your time that was already added. It is simple to fix the time card but getting to the section needed was confusing. Switched from [Workday Workforce Management](https://www.capterra.com/p/264766/Workday-Payroll-and-Workforce-Management/) Switching jobs required me to switch systems Review Source AF Amber F. Business Office Coordinator Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple and User Friendly" September 4, 2025 5.0 Overall, it has been a positive experience for me. I don't struggle too much with technology or applications on your phone. Plus, it is nice that I can check things out at my leisure. Pros Ease of use. Once you have your company code, log in is simple and brings you right to where you need to be. It allows for easy time tracking-I like that I can double check when I have clocked in and out for lunches or the day or, to see where I am at with time for the week. It is like any other personal app with notifications except a little better. When I submit a PTO request through the computer, I get the notification on my phone that the request has been submitted and is pending approval. Confirmation is nice. Cons Nothing really. It is a little disappointing you can't clock in and out from your phone, but I understand limiting that capability. Sometimes people become deceitful. Review Source SO Sergei O. Co-Founder Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Mo is good enough for making some fun appear at your workplace." January 18, 2026 5.0 It gives the illusion that we like each other. The HR department likes the metrics or whatever and I received a $50 amazon card in January for doing my job which was a nice gesture I suppose and it also prevents remote employees from leaving. Pros The best part is that it is connected to slack so I don't have to have an additional tab open. I also like the fact that you can post gifs in the shout outs; it adds a little humor to make it less awkward. In addition, the rewards store has amazon gift cards. Honestly, this is the only thing that matters to me. Cons The notifications are annoying as they ping me about everything (no matter what) as long as it is related to Mo. And I always get confused with the "boost" button and I'm not sure if I'm using it correctly and also occasionally the application will crash when I attempt to load a picture into it. Review Source AF Alana F. HR Manager Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Very Customizable!" November 11, 2025 5.0 Pros There are so many functions with UKG Ready that you can customize it to whatever your company needs. Cons Sometimes there can be too many features and it can get confusing. But with the customizing, it works out great.

You won't need other apps to help, this one does it all. Pros It's a great way to have everything related to time tracking all in the same spot. It's very easy to use once you get the hang of it. Cons It can be kind of hard at first to really understand where everything is. However, once you do it is much easier to use. Review Source RR Riley R.

It was worth my employers time and money to use this app for employees. Pros I like how easy it is to clock in and out of the app. It saves me time on the daily. I also enjoy how easy it is to schedule my days off in the app. There are many of other features that i'm excited to use.

Pros The company I currently work for uses this as an addition to our UKG app to make it easier to manage hours, pto requests, messages and updates and I really enjoy the fact that it is easily accessible both on the job and outside of work! Cons no cons, everything has been great thus far and i am sure it will continue that way! Review Source CH Casidah H. Regional marketing executive Facilities Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Boost employees engagement" May 15, 2025 5.0 Pros Recognizing employees performance, engaging with employees, celebrating team success and rewarding top performance employees is all easy and reliable when using Mo. The reward gifted to me to celebrate my project success is really a mood booster, I really happy when my work is appreciated by the higher-ups and not gone unnoticed. Cons Limited gift card option to redeem. I can only choose from few popular brand gift card from the catalogue, I think they need to customized the gift card option that can cater user from different country and more local brand to participate.
