Pros The ease of using this product is better than any other systems Cons The upgrades tend to create issues in other areas Review Source LM Luke M. Recruiter Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very useful " October 6, 2023 5.0 It's been really great! I like it more than others I've used before. Pros Having everything in one place makes moving applicants through the process so much better. Cons Having emails we send get stuck in spam. Switched from [iCIMS Hire](https://www.capterra.com/p/93248/iCIMS-Recruit/) We wanted everything in one place and a more responsive help team. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Optometric Assistant Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good experience Dayforce was used for scheduling at a company I was a manager for. " May 17, 2018 5.0 Quicker ease of access scheduling. Less hassle for the managers as well as the employees. You are also able to use it from home or with the phone version. I did find it was slower on the phone and not as user friendly as just using it on the work computers. Pros I like that its easy to learn. Your staff can log on from home and get quick up to date changed with their schedule. I also like how each person can go in and update their availability. When you are managing a retail store with college kids it can be a hassle to get everyone's schedules down especially once exams start. Dayforce takes a lot of the guessing and extra hassle out of scheduling. Cons It can be a bit confusing with the colors to see what you are looking for with ease. Can be a bit slow when you are trying to enter a lot of information in at a time. Review Source LG Lauren G. Human Resources & People Analytics Manager Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Exciting" October 9, 2023 5.0 We absolutely love it Pros How user friendly it is and all of our employees find it easy Cons You don’t know what you don’t know because there is so much Review Source JC Jeremy C. IT Business Systems Project Manager Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Retailers View of Dayforce" October 23, 2019 4.0 The overall experience that I have had has been positive. Working with our Customer Success Manager we have been able to get a solution for any obstacle that we have come up. Pros The application is configurable but not customizable. This allows for the system to be configured how you need it to work. The new features that are continually being introduced are very interesting and are innovative in that the core focus is on improving the user experience in order to improve the bottom line of your organization. Cons The most frustrating part of working with the application is the new features that introduced do not always come with instructions which means there is a lot of trial and error on the configuration team's part in order to get the system to work. In general the support personal are constantly turning over which impacts our ability to consistent customer service. Review Source KM Karen M. HR Coordinator ooo International Trade and Development Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dayforce" October 7, 2023 5.0 Pros Ease of features, time clock, tafw, forms. Cons N/a‐ Review Source BD Bethann D. Packaging and Containers Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dayforce helped us ditch the spreadsheets!" April 13, 2018 4.0 Pros Dayforce is highly configurable. We are a mid-size manufacturer with plant's in 3 states, 2 different pay frequencies, and 4 different bargaining agreements. Needless to say, we have a complex payroll. Dayforce easily handles our complex pay and benefits structures, and it is easy to make changes each time there is a new bargaining agreement. Customer support has gotten much better since they changed to a the 'pod' model - now when we call or open an online ticket, I get someone that is already familiar with our company and our Dayforce configuration. Cons I would like to see them offer more in-depth training for those of us that are HRIS administrators, so that we could do more of our own configuration and have less billable projects. The platform runs slow at times. Only really a problem on payroll processing days. Review Source PN Peggy N. Payroll Supervisor Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Reasons for using Dayforce" October 23, 2019 5.0 Faster payroll runs, love year end process which really save time and stress. Pros It is very user friendly and easy to train new users. Handles or tax filings with little issues. Tax representatives easy to discuss any issue with. Payroll processing is quick and finishes very quickly with no errors if you check your import. Love how easy year end is. Even with having to hit information from HR and our accounts payable department we can close year end with little or no overtime. Support needs some work but they are becoming better in handling issues. Cons The support answering and helping wth issues. No communication between Dayforce and Source Tax. Review Source OK Olivia K. Payroll Supervisor Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dayforce " October 5, 2023 5.0 I use Dayforce daily and enjoy using the system. Pros I like the automation and the way the company is moving forward. The interface is also very user friendly. Cons Support. Often takes long or they do not have enough understanding on the system. Review Source LH Lauren H. Lpn Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Daily dayforce user " January 6, 2023 5.0 Pros It is easy to use and easy to navigate. The mobile app is a great feature to have Cons Down for updates quit often but no real issues Review Source LD Leonardo D. leasing Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dayforce-bewithyou" September 20, 2022 5.0 I have enjoyed this platform since I was introduced to it. Pros DAYFORCE makes payroll, benefits, taxes, timesheets and everything else work related much easier and very organized. I have used it for 3 years and I love how user-friendly it is. Cons There is not really anything I could think of that I don't like in particular about Dayforce as it is a convenient tool at work. Review Source SL Stacy L. Payroll Master Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great HCM product that will save your company labor costs and help you in every aspect of HR & Payroll" July 4, 2018 5.0 I LOVE the system! We just went through the Thomas fire in Southern California and without this system we would not have been able to communicate with our staff. While we were being evacuated, I was trying to send payroll and if we were still with ADP we never would have been able to. I would have had 750 employees that were evacuated, some had lost everything and they would not have gotten paid. Dayforce literally saved the day for everyone. We were closed for 5 weeks and without the messaging capability through Dayforce, we wouldn't have been able to communicate with our staff. I was able to check on employees and answer questions while I too was evacuated. The system gave us some relief in a time that was scary, emotionally draining and stressful. The gratitude I have for making this switch from ADP to Ceridian before the fire happened, can't be put into words. Other payroll professionals will know the stress of not being able to send a payroll, but in the worst time for me I did not have that stress. The system offers so much and no other Payroll & HR software provider even comes close. Pros Robust system, everything is in 1, constantly enhancing the system, Insights conference is AMAZING, XOXO website lets you communicate with other customers and is hands down a game changer Cons Because the system is so robust, the implementation is hard, reporting is outdated and formatting is not the best. Review Source RB Ruben B. Hris analyst Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dayforce" October 3, 2023 5.0 Pros The flexibility the different modules provide. Cons Once a change has been made, a rollback is not available. Review Source AN Alex N. Program Leader Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Complete timekeeping app" September 29, 2020 5.0 I've been using the Dayforce app for years now and I have come to like it. It took some time to get used to but I think it is the complete software and app for managing the time of employees of an organization. I like the ability to have shortcuts on the home screen and that it allows me to use my fingerprint to sign in. The most notable issue was the initial on-boarding process. It was a hassle because the proper username format was unclear causing a delay in getting hundreds of employees set up. Pros Easy connection and set up Fingerprint use to sign in Saves my username Ability to receive messages from HR App interface allows you to set up shortcuts Can view abbreviated version of paystub Geolocation feature Cons The layout of the software is a little overwhelming at first until you learn where to find everything. Username has to be exact, some people include middle initial and some dont-trial and error to find out Review Source JS Jennifer S. Ht Manager, Benefits & HRIS Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not great for hospitality " October 19, 2023 3.0 Pros Our employees find it mostly easy to use. They like the mobile punch and on-demand pay options. Cons It is not hospitality/F&B friendly. It does not understand about tip credits/sub minimum wage. Multiple postions/rates for one person are hard to manage. Customer service and support is generally poor. Review Source AL Anton L. NEXT Initiative strategy Leadee Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Straightforward getting information" May 15, 2024 5.0 I think as an employee requires to complete or access important HR or Finance forms or data, I am satisfied. Pros Simplicity as a user and employee getting the information I need to have about my HR forms and pay stubs Cons There are often instance where the submitting of HR requested forms was not easy or confusing in complete. I dont know if this is because of Day Force or because of asminiatrative set-up but I have to always access it via my companies portal. I cant juat go to Dayforce to get in. Review Source JB Jessie B. Director of HR Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Employee-friendly self-service once implementation hills are climbed" October 23, 2019 4.0 Pros The ease of and accessibility of reporting and the self-service features for employees, including the always-expanding app, is wonderful. I also find the handshake between the onboarding feature and the HR to be a strong plus. Cons I feel like my con is less about Ceridian as a platform and more about the lack of cohesiveness offered by the support team. I feel like the value of and quality of communication and follow-through vary wildly from case to case.

HR Manager Hospitality Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Dayforce" October 4, 2023 3.0 I believe we have a Cadillac system but when we don’t receive responses from support it makes the options overwhelming when you still have your daily tasks at hand. Pros There seems to be so many options available. Cons Lack or response & support, we reach out and don’t hear back until multiple emails are sent. Reason for choosing Dayforce HCM I wasn’t employed at the company at that time. Review Source Gina G. HR Specialist Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Not my first choice" July 25, 2019 2.0 Pros Dayforce HCM is self serve, meaning our employees can log on and input, update, and track their information on their own without needing to contact the HR department for each individual need. Cons The implementation team did a terrible job setting up the software for our company. There are so many issues and glitches with the way the software is set up that we had to have a re-implementation and restructure the software. The Support team is sub par at best, and on top of paying a large amount for the software itself, you have to pay for additional users in the support portal, along with other additional fees for fixes. High importance items are often over looked and not resolved in a timely manner.
