Human Resource Generalist Law Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Small company, big vision" October 18, 2018 5.0 Wonderful, streamlined and I love that you believe that I am capable of learning so much more than I thought was possible. Total solution that has catapulted us into the future! Pros Flexibility coupled with cutting edge technology is allowing me to produce reporting and analytics our firm never thought was possible. At the same time, I am replacing all my manual processes with streamlined automation saving time and money. Finally, I am greatly increasing our professional culture in and outside the firm. My firm will never outgrow this solution. Love, Love, LOVE my Dayforce! Cons The only opportunity I see is the space between go live and what come next. With so much training material available, it hard to figure out a succinct plan for turning on the rest of the solution. A clear cut plan or guided track to bring you through the videos and then the correct guide would be helpful. I end up bouncing from guide to dig and guide and watching a video a couple of times to get things rolling. Review Source AD Amber D. Employee experience manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "New user" October 2, 2023 5.0 Pros I just started working for a company using it and found it to be easy to use. Lots of module options. Cons Seems like it’s missing some basics like a dashboard for hiring and recruiting. Review Source DK Denise K. HR Assistant Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Love Dayforce but there are some Issues" June 7, 2023 3.0 I like it overall but there are definately some issues. Pros I like that it is able to do a lot and make things more automated. Cons You need to be a computer programmer to set anything up. Anytime we ask for assistance we are told we have to pay for support. Review Source MJ Michael J. Manager, E-Services Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Switched from [Paycom](https://www.capterra.com/p/130949/Paycom/) We made the switch because Dayforce offered a broader human resources platform than just payroll. Review Source Response from Dayforce August 26, 2019 Hi Michael, Thank you for sharing your Dayforce experience. This is incredibly valuable feedback and we appreciate you taking the time to give us your thoughts. Wishing you continued success! Thanks again, Michael BN Brittney N. Senior accountant Investment Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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.

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. Review Source Response from Dayforce September 3, 2019 Hi there, Thank you for your feedback! Your insight is very valuable and we appreciate you spending the time to share your experience. Very best, Michael RR Randy R. Payroll/HRIS Manager Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Review Source FF Frankie F. US Payroll Director Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Insights " October 4, 2023 2.0 Not the best system Pros Both a HRIS & PAYROLL model that simplifies the employee experience Cons Reporting is very weak, very difficult to provide meaningful financial reporting Review Source RS Rebecca S.

Cons Support is limited and consistently directed to VAS Review Source SC Simone C. CISUP Director Higher Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "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 Source DL Daphne L. Payroll Specialist Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dayforce HCM" March 6, 2024 5.0 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. Review Source Trevor T. Brand Protection Analyst Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "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. Review Source KP Khristan P. Training & Development Manager Hospitality Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "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.

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.
