### "All in one for human resources!"

August 22, 2019

3.0

Pros

Dayforce is a great platform for many HR related purposes. You can track/assign employee hours and shifts, monitor and approve time off requests, and calculate payroll. In addition, it allows employees to monitor/track their benefits, retrieve pay sheets, change direct deposit information and more.

Cons

Compared to other software that is payroll only, Dayforce is a little clunky. It takes too many clicks to do simple things like adjusting time clocks, approving payroll, and using it as both a team manager AND an employee. Certain features, such as a manager adding a time off request for an employee, requires Silverlight, so we can only do that with Internet Explorer and no other browser.

We made the switch because Dayforce offered a broader human resources platform than just payroll.

### "Good value"

October 3, 2023

5.0

We’ve automated payroll with Dayforce

Pros

Centralized location for employee record keeping

Cons

Ease of feature implementation is difficult and requires lots of time and expertise outside of customer support. For example, it took us 6 months to correctly configure a form

### "Decent HR Software Program That Gets the Job Done"

August 30, 2019

4.0

Dayforce HCM is our main source for anything employee-related and it has been a consistent and useful resource for us. It has the information we need and when we need it, and we can trust and depend on them to provide the functionalities we require. Although not as UI/UX friendly as other software platforms such as Workday, it is a relatively cheap platform that allows employees to do what they need to do.

Pros

Dayforce HCM is a good HR software program in that it is a cloud-based platform for workforce management and other essential things such as payroll, benefits, and document management. It essentially gets the job done for the common employee and offers enough functionality to be a useful platform.

Cons

The overall aesthetic feel and functionality wasn't as smooth and intuitive as the previous HR software our company used, which was Workday. It's not a dealbreaker but it goes a long way to empower the user to feel like they understand and to a large degree have a comfortable control of the app in the first few experiences.

Alternatives considered

[Workday HCM](https://www.capterra.com/p/66908/Workday-HCM/)

Reason for choosing Dayforce HCM

Mainly cost savings. The cost to benefit ratio of saving money to have a less aesthetic and intuitive HR software favored keeping the existing software which everyone was accustomed to already.

Switched from

[Workday HCM](https://www.capterra.com/p/66908/Workday-HCM/)

Costs were getting too large for our growing company. We received a cheaper quote from Dayforce.

### "Dayforce HCM great for Payroll and HRIS"

September 13, 2017

4.0

Dayforce works great under the right circumstances, but they still have some work to do to gain a bigger market share.

Pros

Dayforce HCM (DF) is a great product for payroll, which is the company's core offering. They have incorporated other HRIS modules into DF, some of which work extremely well. Dayforce does a great job of using only one employee record for everything, so there are no internal interfaces, and all changes are made real time. The company keeps up to date on all regulatory changes, and is quick to roll out updates and fixes to the software, which are seamless because they happen in the cloud. Works great for both our US and Canadian populations.

Cons

Dayforce does not process payroll in Mexico, so we cannot use it for the sole solution in North America. The reporting on data is sometimes difficult; the tool is pretty robust, but some common-sense reports are almost impossible to build, due to the cumbersome process of linking data fields together. This is getting better, but still lacking. Support response times are usually timely, but support personnel are not always knowledgeable enough to fix the issue right away. Any extra work on the product is always billable, and never cheap. Due to the design of the product, any changes to the company's organizational structure will almost certainly result in a long, expensive project to update the product.

### "Dayforce HCM - Completo, ma con margini di miglioramento"

March 22, 2023

5.0

Dayforce HCM ha del potenziale ma ha bisogno di essere lucidato.

Pros

La piattaforma all-in-one semplifica le attività delle risorse umane e la funzionalità GL funziona perfettamente.

Cons

L'implementazione è stata impegnativa e non tutte le funzionalità sono state funzionali anche dopo due anni.

### "Review from a user"

January 18, 2024

5.0

Pros

I like how Dayforce represents its report on my payroll breakdown. I can filter it on per month, year, or biweekly and it gives me detailed breakdowns and is easy to read. My employer has moved on from Dayforce to a different system for payroll but if it was up to me, I prefer dayforce for its user experience.

Cons

The UI can look a little more modern and up-to-date. Not sure if the UI is customizable with your own company's logo and color scheme.

Pros

Dayforce is easy to use when it is set up to meet your organization's policies. They walk you through the whole process and their customer service is quick to respond when you have problems.

Cons

They frequently do updates which is a good thing and they also notify you on upcoming updates. I don't think this is bad though.

### "Dayforce - All Your Employment Tools in One"

September 22, 2020

4.0

Overall my experience with Dayforce has been positive. I enjoy how you can onboard new employees with benefit selections and payroll. It is useful to keep all these managerial aspects to my job on one location.

Pros

Compared to other products and services Dayforce is useful for allowing employees to submit time off requests, time keeping, manage benefits and payroll, and managing performance. Most other services offer only a piece of what Dayforce offers.

Cons

The user interface is a little outdated and sometimes it isn't clear on how to navigate to certain features. For instance, it automatically hid my calendar and I had to go to a custom option window to add it my favorites to be able to access it.

### "Empowering Team Members"

June 19, 2017

4.0

Overall, we have truly benefited from partnering with Dayforce. Our team members are excited about the user friendliness of the program, the accessibility from their mobile devices and the functions that empower them to submit requests & changes electronically. Our managers have raved about being able to schedule within labor guidelines and team member availability. Time Off requests are easier to track, schedule, approve/decline. Personal Action Form items that require approval are now electronic, which has smoothed out our process. We have seen a decrease in the amount of paperwork that was being processed & tracked, we have seen an increase in managerial productivity, we have seen a time savings in our payroll processing and an improvement in our reporting capabilities.

Pros

• Our team members are excited about the user friendliness of the program, • Great to have accessibility from their mobile devices and the functions that empower them to submit requests & changes electronically. • Managers have raved about being able to schedule within labor guidelines and team member availability. • Time Off requests are easier to track, schedule, approve/decline. • Personal Action Form items that require approval are now electronic, which has smoothed out our process. • We have seen a decrease in the amount of paperwork that was being processed & tracked, we have seen an increase in managerial productivity, • We have seen a time savings in our payroll processing and an improvement in our reporting capabilities.

Cons

Implementation might drive you crazy, but your team will be elated & productivity improved. It would have been helpful to know more about what was required & expected for implementation so we could have made better decisions with assigning responsibilities during the implementation process.

Nonostante alcuni inconvenienti, la mia esperienza complessiva con Dayforce HCM è stata positiva. È una soluzione completa che ha reso più efficiente la gestione delle attività delle risorse umane e la capacità di accedere a dati e tendenze chiave è stata preziosa per il processo decisionale.

I have had a great overall experience while using Dayforce. It is very user friendly and I was able to learn about the many different aspects it has to offer.

Pros

Dayforce is very user friendly and easy to learn. It is definitely one of the less complicated software systems out there. It really helps businesses keep track of benefits, timekeeping, payroll, and HR all in one system.

Cons

Sometimes Dayforce can glitch (which can happen to every website), but the Ceridian team is very quick to help get it up and running again.
