HR Administrator Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Human Resources Dayforce " October 16, 2023 4.0 Pros All inclusive system that allows each department to work together and crossover functionality. Very powerful tool Cons Some parts are TOO complex. Also, frustrating when something that is working very well gets changed and no longer works as well. Review Source SC Shelli C. Payroll & 401k Specialist Wholesale Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jump to it!" October 4, 2023 4.0 All positive! Pros The ease of use is what sticks out the most for me. Its not overly complicated and figurations just make sense. Cons Color coding on schedules would be an improvement Id look forward to. Review Source JA Jessica A. Director, HeR & Payroll Restaurants Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use" October 7, 2023 5.0 Pros It’s fairly easy to use on a day to day basis. Love that you don’t have to have multiple browser windows open to navigate. Cons The entitlements are hard to set up and configure. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer HR Strategist, Talent Assessor and Development Coach Government Administration Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Dayforce the nightmare" November 27, 2018 2.0 Overall we were over time, off budget and did not get the original scope in. Dayforce folks were only able to help when issues were escalated to the highest level of support. Lesson learned: you get what you pay for but wish someone at Ceridian had warned us of the lite project approach Pros Price was cheap for the functionality compared to many other providers and sales cycle was promising. There are some great people in the company who try to do their best by clients. Implementation model price was also reasonable compared to market. Cons The company has grown a lot and they don’t have a knowledgeable staff compliment that understood my business. The result was too much time spent after implementation fixing things that were not done correctly. Their various support teams did not work together in a seamless way for the customer. Prepare to have a lot of your own resources to sort things out if you go with them.

Payroll manager Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Payroll" October 5, 2023 4.0 Pros 1 stop for everythingAll contained in one place Cons Issues over 2 entities in 1 pay period..causes errors Review Source SM Scott M.

Cons Latency of system at times is frustrating especially on payroll commit days. Review Source SG Sofia G. Sr talent development specialist Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One stop shop " October 5, 2023 4.0 Pros Day, force is constantly looking for ways to improve by listening to their customers through multiple formats. Having all of your human resource solutions in one place, just makes sense. Cons Implementation of new modules can be confusing and overwhelming. I would appreciate a more teaching focused approach. This way I would be more prepared to actually do the administering of the module myself without a lot of trial and error that waste time. Review Source DR Donna R. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Long time user" October 8, 2023 5.0 Pros Easy to use for staff, supervisor, management.

Global HR Systems Manager Food Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Potential for a Global HR System" October 5, 2023 4.0 Pros Ability to have all employees globally on one HR system.

Pros Timesheet to Payroll is driving express hwy without traffic Cons I don’t like reports dayforce already generated because 70% of reports are useless nor working. Review Source HD Helen D. Payroll & Benefits Mgr Wholesale Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dayforce - Implementation Beware" October 23, 2019 3.0 Bumpy at best. Some days I actually say I miss ADP. Pros I like the 'one' database aspect the best. Cons Implementation was very lacking. Nearly a disaster. I am over 2 years in and still have not been able to get everything we originally intended to do up and running. Alternatives considered [UKG Ready](https://www.capterra.com/p/198579/UKG-Ready/)[Paylocity](https://www.capterra.com/p/86714/WebPay/) Reason for choosing Dayforce HCM Recruiting module was most robust (the one module we do NOT have running and will probably abandon at this point). We also liked the GL feature - which does work well and was implemented by the one rockstar of our implementation team. Switched from [ADP Workforce Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/155895/WorkforceNow/) ADP was unable to accommodate some things we needed and they were not flexible to find other ways to help us. Review Source EL Emily L. Controller Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We like it! " June 7, 2023 5.0 Pros The customer service and the wait time is great. The product itself is intuitive and easy to use. Anytime we have an issue, we call customer service and it gets sorted out quickly. Cons It is quite expensive to add additional services and/or have Dayforce do special projects. Review Source CS Chris S. Director of Store Labor Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Spend more time on strategic decisions and less time worrying about your software application." December 1, 2016 5.0 Summary: Dayforce has an intuitive user interface that is easy to use for people with various technical abilities. Employees can view their time card in real-time and it's easy to view task progress across devices. Reporting could be more robust. Dayforce is very useful in an environment where there is a fast pace and multiple access points such as retail, grocery stores, etc. Places of work that allow the use of mobile devices will really allow the application to shine. Environments, where there isn't reliable network access, may prove difficult. Dayforce support staff is very responsive to customer needs and their level of support is strong. We use Dayforce across 90% of our enterprise. We use Time & Attendance across the entire 90% and Scheduling & Task Management across 75%. As a specialty retailer in the Musical Instrument category, we sell very specific products to customers with very specific needs. That requires knowledgeable employees to be in the right place at the right time. Dayforce is key to making that happen. Pros \- Intuitive user interface that is easy to use for people with various technical abilities - Employees can view their time card in real-time on many different devices - Easily view task progress across devices and with downward visibility throughout the organization Cons \- Dayforce could use more robust reporting within the application but have recently released a new Business Intelligence tool to fill the need Review Source KD Kyle D.
