### "Kronos Workforce Review"

August 29, 2017

4.0

Pros

I like all the options you have with workforce ready. I have used a different platform of Kronos and it wasn't as user friendly. I like the reporting capability as well.

Cons

I wish the training material was more updated. I find it a bit hard to find exactly what I am looking for. I also wish we were notified when updates happened and what exactly it effected.

### "Review on Kronos Workforce Ready"

May 1, 2018

5.0

Pros

Kronos has changed the entire dynamic of our HR responsibilities. It has allowed us to keep all of our information for our employees in one place. It is very easy to use and design based on our companies needs. We use Kronos as our employee database as well as payroll.

Cons

Not many cons, but I suppose the navigating through the system just takes some time and effort to learn. Which this is to be expected.

### "Robust system with lots of capabilities"

February 26, 2018

4.0

Able to customize to your needs, but a more out of the box system is easier to implement.

Pros

Able to handle all aspects of HR. Timekeeping system is easy to use, handles all of our PTO types and schedules.

Cons

Training and education on products and features. Would like to have more classes available before implementation. Just because you helped build the system doesn't mean you understand situations you run into on a daily basis.

### "Great Product"

July 7, 2020

4.0

Great. Better than the software that we were using in a variety of ways.

Pros

I love that Kronos allows me to get through timesheets very quickly, as long as the employee has done their part. It's very easy to use.

Cons

The only thing I don't like is that we are not operating on a more up to date version. However, the version we have works great for a company just getting their feet wet, so to speak.

### "Kronos is a necessity for work"

June 18, 2019

5.0

It’s awesome and I am so glad they made it a mobile app because now it’s on the go wherever I go.

Pros

I love using Kronos. It is amazing. We use it at my work to check our schedules and even request time off. I use both the mobile and desktop version. Both are very easy to use.

Cons

The only thing I don’t like is that I wish for Universal’s sake, we could have our attendance points put on the mobile version.

### "Kronos Workforce Ready- User Review"

August 19, 2019

5.0

Kronos WFR has helped streamline timekeeping, and we hope to use more Payroll functions soon.

Pros

Kronos WFR is a great product to combine major HR functions, like the employee database, timekeeping and payroll functions, and performance reviews/employee management.

Cons

Sometimes reports are hard to figure out, but if you open a case with Customer Service they can typically create a custom report if needed.

### "Kronos Work Force Ready"

March 3, 2020

5.0

Kronos has worked great for us. We have not had a major issue at all.

Pros

Software is really easy to use Interface is simple and easy Correcting time sheets is simple Practically runs itself

Cons

Software is pretty expensive We switched between 5 different teams to get the software setup and configured. took over 1 year to get it completely ready

Reason for choosing UKG Ready

Krono's interface was a lot easier for the staff

### "Kronos WorkForce Ready "

August 4, 2017

4.0

Pros

Software is powerful and customizable. I like the timesheets, recruitment and hr piece of the software.

Cons

Some features could use improvements such as performance reviews and workflows. I also feel like your documentation could use some work. I tend not to find the documentation useful.

### "Former Customer Kronos Review"

March 15, 2019

4.0

Solved issues with time reporting. More accurate time entry. Bio-metric time clocks helped to prevent fraud and incorrect punching. Great software if you need all the payroll bells and whistles, but difficult to implement and expensive.

Pros

Data Extraction and Reporting Features. Lots of information available for export. Time Off Requesting was a good feature.

Cons

Difficult to implement. Had a very problematic setup. Took almost a year to get set up. Technical Support was slow to get back with you and software was expensive. Had to call and get a case number and wait 24 to 48 hours for tech support to call back. When payroll problems occur, usually need help asap. Very expensive. Did not use all payroll features, mainly exported time out to another payroll system. Very expensive for the limited use.

### "Good but not great"

October 4, 2017

3.0

Overall Kronos is a good HRIS solution. I would recommend that your implementation team spend more time on educated users rather then blasting through the set up process with little or no explanation of what they are doing and why.

Pros

Kronos is very user friendly; easy for employees with little or no computer knowledge to navigate. My favorite feature is the reporting tools, running reports is easy and there are a variety of reports that can be pulled.

Cons

The system still has limited capabilities and some features seem to be a work in process. Our biggest complaint has been our lack of a contact from Kronos since we completed our implementation. We would like to use Scheduler and the new recruiting program but we are unable to get a dedicated team member to assist us.

### "Software is solid. Kronos Support is solid. Implementation team is terrible."

June 12, 2018

4.0

To have a solid product every aspect needs to be seamless in my opinion. If we were to go back to the drawing board on choosing a time keeping system and I knew what I know now we would go with someone else.

Pros

Once it is up and running Kronos Support is great and very helpful. General system/software is easy to use and has a lot of very useful features. Day to day it does not have much upkeep once it is up and running. The overall software itself is able to be tailored to our needs to an extent.

Cons

Implementation team was terrible. Kronos outsources to a third party. Communication was horrible, very little explanation behind what goes into setting up the system. Our system is now filled with a ton of mess ups that were not able to be deleted due to miscommunication or simply not understanding what the other was saying. It was a horrible experience. For that reason I would urge people to look into a different product.

### "A well rounded product that is always improving"

August 24, 2017

4.0

Pros

The software offers many modules that cover all areas of payroll and human resources. It also is easy to train staff how to use it.

Cons

Some reports and set up areas can be difficult to navigate. It can also be difficult to find information or training on how to set up certain things.

### "The best time keeping solution yet!"

June 10, 2020

5.0

Overall it is very good. Employees and managers like it.

Pros

This is by far the best time keeping solution we have used at our company. Employees can easily request PTO and see their hours.

Cons

I have not had or seen any significant problems with Kronos workforce ready. We have had issues with 2 factor emails because the sending domain changed to sendgrid which hackers use to send evil emails.

### "Amazing product, superb support and industry leading analytics "

May 31, 2017

5.0

ThanksBox has helped us to boost levels of employee recognition, better understand reward spend, capture insights about our company values, surface employee ideas and obtain great responses to some of our company challenges.

Pros

For our employees - it's simple, easy to use and has a great mobile experience, with is essential for our people who are on the go all the time. The ideas tool also offers a great way for our people to share what's important to them, quickly gather opinion from their colleagues and get the feedback they deserve from the organisation. For the HR & Leadership team - we've found the analytics outstanding, it really helps us to effectively manage the initiative across different areas of our business. We're already using the recognition & reward, ideas and surveys tool and can't wait to see what the ThanksBox team deliver next!

### "Mo review"

November 13, 2023

5.0

Brilliant. I think it's a great tool for any company to have

Pros

I love that I can use Mo to show a colleague how much I appreciate a piece of work they have done, as a way of saying thank you and that someone has done a great job. It's a great tool to boost confidence and show appreciation

Cons

I would prefer to have an option to gift £2.50 instead of £2.00 as it would be easier to ensure I can spend my £10 monthly allowance

### "Kronos seems to meet our needs"

May 16, 2019

4.0

Pros

I like the report-writing abilities that I have, and how I can schedule reports to be sent automatically.

Cons

I'm on a new platform that is being rolled out to all customers later this year and I find it much more difficult to navigate than our old platform. Luckily most users at our organization still have the older version, but my understanding is that they will have to be on the new version by the end of the year.

### "Need more options "

August 15, 2019

3.0

Pros

This software I feel has had a lot of options that could easily be used.

Cons

Maybe this isn’t a software issue rather than my organizations not using it to the max, but it seemed hard to configure. Also, it seemed to only be compatible with Internet Explorer which is not my preferred browser.

July 23, 2019

4.0

Love using it for schedule making and time card adjustments. I feel after the last update Kronos became easier to use and even for someone using it for the first time I feel they would get the hang of it quick.

Pros

Easy to use Editing schedules is easy plus they have tools to save you time Submitting time cards and changes reflect immediately

Cons

After a couple of minutes the system sometimes crashes and must reboot

### "Kronos for Scheduling & Accruals & Timecards"

November 20, 2019

4.0

We love kronos! Just wish it was easier to log in.

Pros

Kronos has your schedule, your timecard, your accrued PTO & more all in one place. It is very simple to use and keeps me organized. We also use it to create our stores schedule, and it creates it itself, we just edit.

Cons

You have to text yourself a verification code before you can log in on personal device, EVERY SINGLE TIME.

### "Good and reliable Workforce management product"

December 14, 2019

4.0

My experience using Kronos was positive overall. I thought that it was a solid and reliable product. It didn't have any feature that I foud impressive though.

Pros

I used Kronos in the past. It was the workforce management product of a former employer of mine. As a user who only used it to enter my timesheet I found Kronos to be straight forward and to the point. It didn't impress me as having any fascinating features or capabilities that competing software wouldn't have, but it was simple enough to make time sheet entering simple.

Cons

there is nothing in particular that I considered a downside to Kronos. As many other similar products, it didn't offer any impressive features that made my life easier as a user, but it wasn't clunky or complicated as to make my life difficult either.

### "A whole new world"

March 13, 2017

5.0

We recently transitioned from a finance-based database to Kronos for the timekeeping and HR reporting features. As a multi-EIN company, we needed all of our data under one "roof", and Kronos WFR has provided just that. We quickly realized the benefits of this robust system and decided to not only adopt TLM and HR, but Recruiting, Benefits, Payroll, Compensation, Accruals, and some of the Marketplace add-on features. This software will enable us to streamline processes and share a single platform across dozens of locations in different states.

Pros

Customization, Reporting, Employee Self-Service, time saving, process streamlining.

Cons

Some challenges with integrating with external payroll platform (Great Plains). Resolved by purchasing the WFR Payroll module, which proved much more flexible and time saving for our payroll department.

### "Nice timeclock system"

August 5, 2019

5.0

The system has overall been nice with no major complaints except foe the rounding up and down. It is very accurate and easy to use and is hardly ever down.

Pros

I like all the feature it has when it come to PTO and requesting time off. I also lie the ability to review your past time punches and pay periods.

Cons

I do not like the way it rounds up and down, it can really hurt you of you are not careful. When punching in be very careful not to be later or early, the closer to you actual time you need to clock in or out is when you want to punch in or out.

August 31, 2017

5.0

Pros

The feature I appreciate the most is the ability to request time-off via the timeclock which has streamlined the process for us in addition to eliminating unnecessary paperwork.

Cons

Reporting capabilities I find very cumbersome. The timesheet view is also very busy and I actually miss timekeeper central in that respect.
