SR HR Operations Specialist Food Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Dayforce Review" April 24, 2026 4.0 Overall, my experience with Dayforce HCM has been good. It’s helpful having payroll, HR, and time management all in one system, which makes managing employee information easier. Pros It is a single HRIS platform that connects payroll, HR, and time management in real time, making workforce management more efficient. Cons The system can feel a little complicated at times, especially when trying to run reports or find certain features. Review Source EM Elizabeth M. Practice Manager Veterinary Used the software for: 2+ years ### "All-in-one place for our company" August 6, 2025 4.0 User friendly and an all-in-one platform. We are a company across many states, and this platform makes it easy for our corporate office to follow all state requirements for learning platforms Pros Together our company and Dayforce's updates has allowed us to expand and keep everything in on place, from payroll to learning platforms and performance reviews Cons The errors, I will get unexplained errors while loading scheduling or timeclock pages. Most times this is a struggle, because we are all busy and only have so much time to do something.

Sometimes I have to check several different windows to find what I'm looking for. Pros I like that you can set up your "favorites" and it's a fairly straightforward way to check time reporting balances. It's also easy to request time off through the platform. Cons Sometimes when I clock in or clock out for a meal it doesn't register and it's not easy to see current day's time reporting until the day is finished. It's also not easy to correct discrepancies. Review Source NS Nicki S. Manager, FPandA - Sales Compensation Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Clunky navigation" May 29, 2025 4.0 I use Dayforce in three capacities: as an employee to find my own employee information, as a leader to manage my employees and as a compensation professional looking up employee data for the sales teams we support. It's a nice tool, but it has some quirks that take some getting used to. Pros The refreshed design is attractive and easy to read. I like the helpful links section that allow the company to help users navigate to internal resources outside of Dayforce. Cons The navigation seems clunky. Even though I'm in the tool multiple days a week, I often can't figure out how to find my own direct reports or another item I need. It seems like it could be more intuitive and user friendly.

Hire a skilled UX Engineer and resolve the issues.. you'll have an excellent product after that. Pros Simple interface. Clear prev/next/cancel actions. Overall interface is clean and well organized. That is where the PROS end. Cons Using the Dayforce HCM is highly unintuitive. It is, without a doubt, the worst HCM I have used, ever. 1) It does not import and ATS optimized resume correctly 2) It places work experience content in incorrect fields (company in role fields, etc.) 3) It adds spaces to Role Titles and arbitrarily adds/removes formatting from descriptions. 4) The worst User Experience aspect is the form error handling. I input a role that the resume import omitted. Data was accurate and entered correctly but the form would not submit. A single 'There's an error on your form' toast notification displayed. No other feedback. No field highlighted as the error. Nothing. Checked the data, all accurate, hit submit.. error. over and over. Having to remove a role from your experience just to get the form to submit is highly counterproductive. 5) On a laptop, scrolling to the bottom to read the disclosures or makes selections is a fun process because it will scroll you back to the top, for no known reason. 6) It also requires input of a country, which I understand, but for EVERY employer. Which is a poor Customer Experience - default to the applicants local or ask to populate the country across other roles, at the very least. There are basic, fundamental User Experience patterns that should be baked into any decent paid application. Review Source KK Katrina K. Operations and Systems Coordinator Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use, birng lots of solutions together as one" April 14, 2026 4.0 Dayforce helps reduce systems by bringing everything together; this is helpful for our end users - a one-stop-shop. Pros we can cover all payroll, HR and online training in one location, which has helped us to reduce the number of platforms used in our business. As a user of DF, I find it helpful that I can see what is going on in multiple sites across the business at the click of a button. Cons requires a lot of set up and dedicated resource, as well as lots of training for users. Training was done internally, and it would have been helpful to have resources from Dayforce themselves to help with this rollout. Review Source AR Alexandra R. Associate Director Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Philly Experience" May 12, 2026 4.0 Overall was not bad. The most difficult thing was dealing with customer service. Not haveing a dedicated team to respond to the tickets open was frustrating. Pros My favorite thing of this system was the reporting module. Very friendly to build reports and share with others. Cons Not very user friendly for the end user, employees. Our employees never used the system because it was a little confusing. Review Source Swaminathan S. HR Assistant Hospitality Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "HR Coordinator " April 23, 2026 5.0 Overall, Dayforce HCM is a robust and reliable solution for organizations looking to streamline HR and payroll operations. While it requires some time to fully learn and optimize, the long-term benefits in efficiency, accuracy, and system integration make it a worthwhile investment. Pros he unified platform is the biggest advantage, having HR, payroll, scheduling, and workforce management in one system improves efficiency and data accuracy. The real-time payroll feature is particularly impressive and reduces processing errors. Cons The initial setup and learning curve can be challenging. Some features are not very intuitive, and customer support response times can occasionally be slow for complex issues. Review Source RS Radha S. Legal Assistant Legal Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Strong All‑in‑One HR Platform" April 20, 2026 5.0 Overall, Dayforce HCM was a solid and dependable platform. It offered robust features and worked well once I became comfortable navigating the system. Pros What I liked most about Dayforce HCM was having HR, payroll, scheduling, and time tracking all integrated into one platform. The real‑time data and consistency across modules made processes more accurate and efficient. Cons At times, the system felt complex, and certain tasks involved multiple steps. There was a learning curve, particularly for more advanced features. Review Source YO Yewande O. Recruiter Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Dayforce HCM HRIS review" November 14, 2025 5.0 Great overall experience clearing bugs and issues was easy and the customer support was top notch and easy to access Pros I got value for money as it captured all relevant candidate information, and it was easy to use and navigate different modules. Dayforce had good customer support Cons Payroll software was cumbersome, and made me tired of working on Payroll related task, I struggled with understanding Payroll dynamics Review Source CN Carli N. Scheduler Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "User friendly and simple efficient layout " November 10, 2025 5.0 My overall experience has been very positive using day force. I have only a few time experienced the site being down or something but thats within years of using it. Pros What I like most about day force is that it's extremely user friendly and it's easy to use layout makes everything simple to find. Cons At this time I cannot think of many downsides to Day force. The app has been helpful with access to payroll to even my own employee details. Review Source EA Elgiz A. Software Engineer Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Convenient and essential for management" December 22, 2025 5.0 Pros It is very convenient because I can do a lot on the app, example, schedule and payroll. People can see who they are working with and also they can book their vacations through the app. Cons There is a lot of features that it may take some time for people to get to know how it all works. There's also a bit of trouble when people are clocking in due to the location having errors. Review Source RH Raylon H. Client Experience Coordinator Environmental Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great support from Dayforce" April 9, 2025 4.0 I would recommend Dayforce, do to its platform capabilities from onboarding, timesheet management, complexity for corporate governance, and their customer support. Pros Ease of use is my greatest compliment to DayForce. However, set up can be challenging. Cons Dayforce is a little buggy however, their customer service and support is wonderful to work with. Review Source AT Andrena T. Veterinary Assistant Medical Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use for multiple time clock resources" January 10, 2026 4.0 Pros Dayforce is easy to use for time clocks, time sheets, payroll, tax management and requesting time off. Cons When there are updates or glitches it can make it difficult to access to portal but customer support does try to give you enough notice to plan accordingly. Review Source JH Jamie H. Quality and Reliability Specialist Oil & Energy Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Application" April 30, 2026 5.0 Once the app is set up on your phone, the overall experience is pretty straight forward. Things are easy to find on it. Pros The app on the phone is exceptional. Notifies me of updates on payroll. Shows me all my hours and deductions. Can go through older pay stubs. Cons I haven't run into any serious issues yet. I haven't used the desktop version all that much due to using the phone app exclusively. Review Source AK Ashley K. Tech Veterinary Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for Time Punching + Tracking Your Hours" June 5, 2025 4.0 Made clocking in and out a breeze. Positive overall experience with managing PTO and time off requests. Would recommend this app for small and moderately sized businesses (15 - 250 employees) Pros User interface was generally easy to navigate. Clocking in and out was easy as well. You have the ability to set up a range area making it capable to clock in in the parking lot, or anywhere near the building. Time saving for sure! Cons There were some app updates at the time I was using the app that would make it difficult to submit time off requests, but after a month or so the problem resolved. Review Source MC Milica C. HR Generalist Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great System for End Users (Employees)" December 18, 2024 4.0 Positive experience overall. We were previously using an HRIS that didn't display all of the information we needed and our employees were never able to view it, so using Dayforce has made our employee's experience with their information positive but also provided them with the autonomy they didn't previously have in our old system. Pros It's very user friendly for the end user. I like how everything is housed in one HRIS and I am able to view all of the employee's information in one easy place. The data is visually easy to read and it's conveniently in one place. Cons The reporting function. Creating reports from scratch isn't that simple for users who aren't familiar with how to create reports. I feel like this could be enhanced and simplified so that creating reports is easier. I also think the number of clicks it takes to do certain functions could be reduced by using shorthand or typing and having the system auto-populate information.

Entering daily hours was easy and being able to enter multiple work locations was helpful. Pros Easy to use, everything is in one place, tracking hours/lieu time/vacation/sick time is easy. Keeps everything in once place for employees. I also liked how all the benefits were in the system so it was easy to see when I used them. Cons Employees are unable to see the monthly accumulation of their sick/vacation time and seeing past time can be tricky as you have to go through a list Review Source VC Valeria C. Team Lead Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great HR/Payroll System" January 29, 2025 4.0 Overall is a great system. Employees find it easy to use. Pros It's an all in one HR/payroll system. We can customize modules and forms. Cons The amount of information can be overwhelming sometimes. For example, there are so many reports but creating one from scratch and making sure the information populates or is available can be challenging. Review Source MM Mary M. Specialist Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A stand-out HR/Payroll interface" December 18, 2024 4.0 It's a fairly reliable system, but it does go offline more often than other systems in my experience. It helps my organization get things done and is consistently upgraded. One challenge is that reporting features change and we have to keep re-learning. Pros It's one of the most sophisticated systems available and very configurable. Cons The customer service model is lacking. The account rep assigned doesn't help with issues; they are more of a salesperson. Getting help from their ticketing system/help desk is hit or miss.

I learned from each project, and I find Dayforce HCM easy to navigate. Pros Dayforce HCM has all HR, benefits, WFM, report, and payroll in one place and is easy to navigate once you understand the system. The Dayforce support team is excellent, and they are always ready to assist you whenever you need help. Cons The Dayforce HCM has greatly improved its Reports and Analytics functions, but I would appreciate having more report specialists to support the reports. Review Source Royce C. Software reviewer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dayforce can be a doosey" March 16, 2025 3.0 My overall experience was okay it was good for keeping track of Taxes and payroll Pros Check your benefits, track your vacation and sick time availability Keeps track of your pay stubs Cons It's difficult to sign in to sometimes had to change password several timesAnd you couldn't do it yourself it always had a manager do it Review Source SS Sarah S. AVP - Human Resources Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dayforce Provides An Innovative All-In-One Solution" October 25, 2024 5.0 I have been using Dayforce for almost 10 years. We still don't use all the modules (even though I would like to) but I hope we get there in the next few years. The features we currently use have positively impacted our efficiency and accountability. I greatly enjoyed attending the Insights conferences for several years and look forward to the new Discover Dayforce event this year. The FIT sessions, demonstrations, product updates, and opportunities to meet one-on-one with customer support reps are extremely valuable. Pros Everything is in one place and they are constantly innovating by adding or updating features to manage the changing needs of employers and the workforce. I feel comfortable with their efforts to ensure the highest levels of compliance. Cons Like every application there are little quirks and malfunctions from time to time. I have found Dayforce support to be helpful in these cases. Also, since it is such a robust system it can take a while to learn your way around, but the community and support portal provide needed resources.
