CFO Machinery Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dayforce is Great" October 23, 2019 5.0 It replaced a prior HCM system that was not doing a good job. Users were not happy with the accessibility to infromation Pros It is fantastic. It handles all of our HCM and payroll needs. The reporting is great, never any issues with compliance Cons There is nothing that i dont like . It is a great platform. Alternatives considered [ADP Workforce Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/155895/WorkforceNow/) Switched from [ADP Workforce Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/155895/WorkforceNow/) Everything was better on Dayforce Review Source EKL Emily K L. HR and Benefits Manager Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dayforce HCM Review" October 2, 2023 5.0 Pros User friendly and the app for employees is very helpful Cons Occasionally hard to get customers service. Review Source JJ Jeffrey J. Customer Service & Sales Mgr Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "scalable HR platform" October 3, 2019 4.0 It really is a one stop shop for everything HR. Our headquarters and HR department are remote, so my team and I appreciate the resources within Dayforce HCM. The timeclock and PTO functionality for my team of 12 is easily managed, as are the storage and access to tax and benefit forms. As the manager, I see what they see and then some. We have it set to accrue PTO daily which our employees appreciate. Requesting time off and seeing balances is very easy. Having quick access to pay statements is also handy. I prefer this software over some of the larger players in this space! Pros \-intuitive for most users w/ basic needs -stable platform from an outage perspective -scalable: our company just recently added new hire paperless onboarding via Dayforce. Recruiting will be added soon. Cons \-reporting is tricky to navigate -new hire onboarding is finicky. sometimes does not save your work -certain dynamic functions require IE silverlight, yet program works better in Chrome? Review Source AM Andria M. Payroll & Benefits Administrator Insurance Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Probably more cons at this point than pros" October 23, 2019 4.0 It is a single platform and we are still working to integrate each module to the full potential. Pros It is pretty easy to use and it is a clean looking platform. Cons Some of the things I like least about the software are the custom reports (creating can be difficult as I can't pull in all the fields I believe I should be able to from the employee profile - i.e. GL splits); I am finding the mid-year HSA enrollment changes to be very difficult (employees find it difficult as well); and the GL setup is not conducive to making manual changes during the year. I have to constantly contact support to make changes and go through multiple tests just to get to where we need to be for reporting. Switched from [ADP Workforce Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/155895/WorkforceNow/) Was told that Ceridian could better provide solutions to our needs. Some have not been able to be done now that we are online. Review Source SS Shaun S. Manger Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Dayforce " May 2, 2023 5.0 Overall experience is very good and useful. Pros I use Dayforce daily to get time record and time sheets for each employee. I can also keep record of time off and vacation leave which is easy to keep record of payroll Cons It took awhile to get use to the program but with the customer service it was easier. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer HR Generalist Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Dayforce HCM - Fully Integrated HR Reasource" August 29, 2018 4.0 Pros This software is all encompassing - It has so many intuitive functions! We use it primarily for on-boarding, recruitment, payroll, scheduling, and time clocks. We have only scratched the surface of what this software can do. We are especially pleased that after switching to this software we have been able to shave an entire work day off of our payroll processing. Cons The initial roll out was lengthy and there are still some software kinks we are trying to work out. Sometimes customer support isn't always has helpful as we would like, and can take a bit to get us answers or troubleshooting directions. Review Source DH Dawnette H. Payroll Supervisor Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Getting Better" October 23, 2019 3.0 The ease of use with Dayforce has been dependent on how well our legacy information has come over during implementation and the learning of the users. My biggest hurdle has been that with HR/PR SQL, I knew everything and how to fix it, this has been a steep learning curve for me. Pros The integration between HR, Payroll, Time & Attendance and Benefits is the main reason we went with Dayforce. It gave us an all inclusive solution to our needs Cons The reliance on Silverlight has been the main drawback, but that is going away soon. The other issue has been a latency issue for our satellite users; the time to load IE has been a problem but the ability to use Chrome has helped.

Review Source Joseph G. Manager Maritime Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Human Resource Management" September 8, 2018 4.0 Overall I really like the interface and the ability to suspend a job ie. Lunch breaks and keeps accurate record of vacation days. Excellent for remote employees, improvement over their competition Humanity's Shiftplanner. Highly recommend Pros Simple, easy to use and understand interface for employees. Great in keeping track of paid sick leave and holiday pay. Can utilize GPS data for clock in times for remote employees. Cons If you are using the system remotely, you need to be sure for adequate cell signal or WiFi connection to be able to clock in and out. I do not believe there is a way to clock in offline and have it upload when connection resumes Review Source Vera B. Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Straightforward, Functional, and Helpful" March 30, 2018 4.0 Having everything in one place has made managing my work details much easier, especially with the use of the app. I don't need to email HR as often to ask about my benefits or earnings, and I was able to access my end of year forms to do my taxes even before it was physically mailed to me. Pros Dayforce has an app for my iPhone that allows me easy access to my account. I'm able to clock in or out without a hassle, and I can check and edit my timesheet to reflect the correct hours I worked. It also allows me access to my earnings and time off requests, so I can check things even when I'm not in the office. Cons I do wish it had a way to log in by memory instead of making me type in my password every time. It also sometimes rounds my time to the wrong interval (ex. clock in at 10:07 should round down to 10:00 but it often puts it at 10:15 instead). Review Source HG Hailey G. mebership Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Dayforce" November 28, 2022 5.0 Ultimately I like this product and would recommend to anyone who has to have there employees clock in and out. Pros I love that you can see the time that you get paid for in a pie chart. I also like that you get notified about current pay stubs. Cons I wish the app was as easy as the online website. Review Source JB Julie B. HR Specialist Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ceridian Dayforce HRMS" April 16, 2019 4.0 Our HR and Payroll departments are finally able to work in the same software. We always had two separate softwares in the past and they didn't link/communicate with each other. Moving to Ceridian Dayforce has made life easier and removed the data entry duplication. We have access to excellent reports too. Pros Ceridian Dayforce are continually improving and adding/updating features. They also create new modules but they come at a cost. Cons The first few years, ironing out the 'wrinkles' of a poor implementation. I hear the implementation experience is much improved since we purchased the software five years ago. Review Source Response from Dayforce April 17, 2019 Hi Julie, Thanks so much for sharing your Dayforce experience. We really value your feedback and wish you continued success! All the best, Victoria VR Verified Reviewer Business Development and Strategy Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The best workforce management software" February 9, 2021 5.0 Overall Dayforce is the best workforce management software in the industry. If you have to do anything HR related, Dayforce will definitely help you get the job done. Pros What I love most about Dayforce is its ability to integrate payroll, benefits, talent management and other HR related features into a single easy to use software. Cons The software is excellent. I wish there was a bit more documentation on new features since there are always new features coming out. Review Source Latoya T. Accountant Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good Employee Time Software" July 10, 2018 4.0 Employee Time Management Pros Easy usage. Time schedules are easily viewable. Allows employee to easily request time off and view vacation balances. Cons Some things could be added via the software such as disputing time clock issues or notifications once time is approved or denied. Review Source BL Barbara L. Vice President Human Resouorces Plastics Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dayforce makes my job easier" February 2, 2017 5.0 We have been using Dayforce for a little more than three years. We use it as a North American tool, whereby we are able to report on all employees regardless of where they are located. We continue to find new ways to define and segment pay categories so that we can drill down and report on various cost areas. While many of our hourly employees do not always have access to a computer, the Dayforce app makes reviewing pay information (the most important to them) readily available and almost everyone has an android or iPhone. Pros Reporting is fairly easy. Easy to manage both payroll and benefits. Carrier feeds are very important in reducing administrative time. Ability to pull payroll registers is extremely helpful. Ability to request information in different formats (PDF, Excel) is also important. Cons Ability to customize or move things on the screen. Some of the job/position fields are a bit misleading, but that may be because of the way we set them up. Review Source SM Shannon M. Payroll Administrator Sports Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best Decision We've Made" October 23, 2019 5.0 We do not use paper time sheets, this has the HR function which we have never had before. Pros Payroll and HR is more efficient. It's easy to use an learn. I love the educational feature. Cons There is really nothing I don't like. I think we were so outdated on the system we had before that everything on this system was an improvement. Alternatives considered [Paycom](https://www.capterra.com/p/130949/Paycom/) Reason for choosing Dayforce HCM Dayforce had more to offer as far as taxation for non resident set up. It was more user friendly. The WFM was superior to other companies we looked at. We also have a longstanding relationship with Ceridian so we know we would get everything promised. Review Source MA Miro A. Director HR Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product" October 18, 2023 5.0 Really good Pros All in one platform that supports growth. Cons The app can be a bit more usable, but they’re making enhancements all the time Review Source TS Tylar S. Payroll & Benefits Administrator Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Dayforce Review" May 25, 2023 5.0 Pros Reporting, user friendly, balances, time off, processing bi-weekly pay cycles, off cycle payments etc. Cons Benefit recalcs, balances sometimes being finicky. Review Source BR Brian R. Supervisor Machinery Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "All in one employee tracking tool." May 25, 2023 5.0 Has been a great tool using this as a Supervisor. Pros The broad spectrum of available uses. There are many options that make the day to day operations of keeping in tune with your workforce very simple. Cons Some of the features could be more integrated with each other but overall not much negative. Review Source TC Trish C. Talent Acquisition Manager Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dayforce Rocks!!" October 23, 2019 5.0 I love it. It is user friendly and real time tracking which is awesome!!! Super easy to learn and teach! Pros I use the recruiting module a lot and I really like it. I love the talent management pool and how easy it is to use and send resumes. The talent pool keeps me organized as well, Cons Nothing really. Sometimes it lags in the recruiting module but otherwise I love it, Switched from [RUN Powered by ADP](https://www.capterra.com/p/185859/RUN/) There support team did not follow up on tickets or help if we had queastions Review Source SB Sharon B. Comp/Ben Mgr Machinery Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dayforce has improved alot" October 23, 2019 5.0 Ceridian encourages input from clients and will redesign around client requests. The support model is great and easy via computer or phone. Pros Employee/Manager (end user) access is user-friendly. The payroll processing is highly easy to audit prior to submission of payroll. Can see the calculations prior to committing. The Benefits platform is adaptable and can be configured for complex benefits. I love the ability to have Ceridian send the carrier files. Cons Some of the functionality is not usable because it is able to be customized. Reason for choosing Dayforce HCM Newer, fresh user friendly interface Review Source SH Shannon H. Parking Hospitality Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great app to use for time, time off, payroll" October 28, 2023 5.0 Pros Easy to use, can track my hours daily, can see my earnings Cons There are times when I can't clock in or I have to reset my password Review Source jW joe W. payroll Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ceridian " March 1, 2023 4.0 Pros easyness and how everything just tie in together. Cons reporting and how we can not really control all aspect of it. Review Source JJ Jeanine J. Vice President, Human Resource Operations Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Benefits Administration" October 23, 2019 4.0 We are using Dayforce for benefits and payroll currently. We have a different system as our system of record. We are in the process now of building the business case to transition everything to Dayforce because of the major issues we have experienced. The benefits of having everything in one system are immeasurable. One system provides for a seamless user experience and will allow us to maximize the functionality, especially with all the great changes coming in 2020. Pros I never took a day of training but was able to navigate the system and end date benefits for employees. Open enrollment is a breeze with this new system. Cons I haven't experienced anything that I disliked so far. The system is intuitive and easy to use. Review Source LH Laura H. Manager Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good use of Dayforce " December 17, 2023 5.0 Pros I like the ease of the systems - you can find everything Cons It needed more options on there - couldn’t add holidays easily Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Investigator II Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use but the function is limited" December 22, 2018 3.0 It is easy to use, when the function is there. But really, it is so limited. Hopefully, it can allow me to do more. Pros I use both ADP and Dayforce. There seems no much difference between them. I don’t prefer either. For Dayforce, I like it most is it is straigt forward to use, when the function is there. Cons I don’t like the software is the function is so limited and restricted. I cannot change direct deposit; cannot change W2 form; even cannot update my personal information like phone number and address. So, the functionality is very basic to me. I need to seek other ways for more functions.
