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.

Compared to the others, UKG Ready was more fleshed out and less flakey. Switched from [Insperity](https://www.capterra.com/p/56017/Insperity-Recruiting/)[BambooHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/110968/BambooHR/) Our PEO was not able to meet our service expectations so we needed a better solution. 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 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. Review Source Response from UKG June 1, 2026 Thank you for providing feedback! 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! JL Jeannette L. Human Resource Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It's good, could always be better." April 16, 2026 4.0 Overall it is good, no big issues. Except, when I want to talk to someone about pricing on adding a 360 file feed between UKG and our Retirement provider they will not just talk to me so I can get the info, they are wanting $500 just to talk to someone, if I decided to do the file feed or not. Pros Everything is in one location, no need to use multiple services. The reports are fairly easy to pull information needed. Cons When I submit a case for assistance there are some times that it takes days to get a response. When I ask for a call back there are several times that they send me a message with what they did. Some reports I'm not able to get certain information and have to pull multiple reports and combine them to have all the data needed. Alternatives considered [Paylocity](https://www.capterra.com/p/86714/WebPay/) Reason for choosing UKG Ready The reporting looked good. The ease of use was great. Switched from [Paychex](https://www.capterra.com/p/119841/Paychex-Flex/) Paychex was dated and hard to get any information out of it.

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. Alternatives considered [Paylocity](https://www.capterra.com/p/86714/WebPay/)[Paycor](https://www.capterra.com/p/133745/Paycor-Perform/) Reason for choosing UKG Ready I loved the UKG sales team.

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.

Onboarding Manager Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "UKG systems are customizable, but not user-friendly to setup." May 28, 2026 4.0 At the time our organization used iCIMs with UKG my role was as primarily an Onboarding Manager, but because of my systems, reporting and analytics background I was often asked to pull reporting for our \[sensitive content hidden\] and this is where my experience with UKG was gained. Pros I liked the customizability of the UKG setup and reporting. Once you learned the system and how to move around, there were really a lot of things you could do to customize it to better fit the needed operations. Cons UKG was not user-friendly. I had to do GOOGLE searches and watch YouTube videos to learn their reporting features. Review Source NB Nicholas B. 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!

" 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 EB Emily B. Director of Perioperative Services Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ease of use" December 16, 2025 4.0 I work as a Director with using UKG ready and it is easy to get payroll completed. I would like for the payroll to be able to set my payroll to pending approval when it is due instead of current view only and then going back to timesheets that are ended. Pros Ease of clocking in and out and ease of use. The ability for staff to clock in and out is very easy. They can clock in with an app, time clock by finger print or desktop computer. Cons Time is set on the 100 instead of quarters or 60 minute overall figuring. When employees clock in and out the time is to 100's for example of 8.89. It would be easier for staff to figure their total time worked. Review Source MB Mayted B.

It’s easy and fast self-explanatory easy for someone who is not text savvy.

Parole Transition Program Case Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Very Happy With this Application" June 4, 2025 5.0 I am very pleased with this product overall. It has allowed a fast, efficient means of accessing everything from tax documents, to timesheets, and time-off requests seamlessly. Pros Ease of use of mobile platform, making on-the-go work, easy to account for in real time. This feature works with a digital fence, and the devices location tracker to enforce accountability. I have also found very helpful, the availability of viewing overall compensation in various formats for different learning styles and uses. Whether looking at a decade, or a week, this tool allows users to make important financial decisions. Cons The absence of the ability to notate punches for the user. A feature formerly available to all. This feature is now only able to be utilized by supervisors. Review Source MR Myles R.

I can check my timesheet and correct it with ease as well as make sure it has been submitted. Pros The interface is very user friendly even for beginner users.
