HR Analyst Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Dayforce Review" October 23, 2019 4.0 Over all it has been great! We have had great experiences especially with the Ceridian support team. Pros What I like most about this software is that it has endless capabilities. I especially like the onboarding feature that we recently implemented as it has helped in our efforts to go paperless. Cons Sometimes a functionality need will come up and Dayforce wont have the capability yet. Reason for choosing Dayforce HCM Because of it capabilities Switched from [Auto Decision Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/173166/ADP/) We made the switch because Dayforce has more capabilities and can better handle our complicated pay structure.

" February 3, 2023 5.0 Pros The company I worked for moved from ADP to Dayforce for Payroll and it was an easy transition and the mobile app was great. Cons I didn't have any issues with this software while using it on my PC or mobile device. Switched from [ADP Workforce Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/155895/WorkforceNow/) Company choice to switch. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Payroll Associate Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dayforce HCM" October 23, 2019 4.0 It has its ups and downs Pros I like the filter options when loading different payroll groups. I also like the Global import options Cons The errors I have with the sync pay changes Review Source DA Danielle A. HR Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I love Dayforce" October 17, 2018 5.0 They have been a great partner for us. Pros Customer Support Ease of use at all levels: employee, manager, and admin Retro pay Cons Shift transfers don’t work for us as well as a few other timekeeping issues Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Information and Event Assistant Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Convenient and simple to use." January 16, 2018 4.0 Ease of tracking my pay and also my remaining vacation and incidental hours. Pros This software makes keeping track of vacation and incidental hours very easy. It's very helpful how it lays out weekly pay, and also breaks down holiday pay for more transparency in your paycheck. Cons The site can load slowly, sometimes taking a few minutes to get to the clock in screen. Not that big of a deal, but when someone is trying to clock in on time, this can push them back to being clocked in late. Review Source KB Kristin B. Payroll Specialist Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Preparation is Key" February 14, 2018 4.0 Single database, tax processing and management, ease of updating employee information, even backdated changes Pros We love the SourceTax and single database approach, and reporting has been very flexible. We also enjoy the way that retroactive changes process in the system and the easy of viewing and calculating the upcoming payroll file for review. Cons We've had some issues because we didn't start our training until we were already in implementation, and we made a few mistakes that we're stuck with at this point. They frequently release updates, many based on customer suggestions, which is good, but sometimes the new releases (two per year are mandatory) cause unanticipated issues in previously functional areas. Review Source SP Sarah P. HRIS Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good" October 3, 2023 3.0 It’s decent Pros Payroll services work well for our growing team. Benefits also work well. Cons Lack of global features, security risks, and old tech for reporting Review Source FA Fassil A. Marketing Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Why Dayforce HCM Is The Best " March 27, 2024 4.0 Pros It is a great performance management solution and comes with great employee scheduling features. Cons It has been capable with no major shortcomings. Review Source AS Amy S. insurance advisor Insurance Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Dayforce Review" February 20, 2023 5.0 Very happy so far. Pros I use Dayforce daily and I find it user friendly and easy to navigate through the system. I use it to check scheduling, payroll, work benefits, learning, and set work goals. Cons So far I have been using Dayforce for over 6 months and I have not come across a down side as yet that has been a setback and delayed my time or work. Review Source MS Marion S. Manager, Payroll & HRIS Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Needs Improvement!" October 4, 2023 3.0 Could be better!! Pros Payroll and recruitment are good! Reporting is ok..support is terrible! Cons Support - very low rating! Always have to constantly follow up or escalate the case to get a response. Reason for choosing Dayforce HCM Was not a part of implementation Review Source KC Ken C. Senior Payroll Administrator Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dayforce review" October 2, 2023 4.0 Pros Reporting function is a good tool for information Cons Tax service need a complete overhaul. The cases take too long to close Review Source Suzanna S. HRIS Payroll Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Ceridian helped us streamline our payroll process and eliminated many manual processes we were doing" February 15, 2018 5.0 Pros I like that we have the ability to customize our different payroll policies. Time and Attendance was the main reason we chose to change our HRIS system. The Payroll Module is user friendly. Time and Attendance is precise. Real Time punches and to the minute payroll. Cons Depending on the browser you are using the software takes a while to load. Explorer is the recommended browser however it lags. I have found less wait time to load using FireFox.

HR Operations Manager Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Dayforce is a scam/ don't waste your money" May 27, 2017 1.0 Our company is still going through our implementation so I'm sharing all the real and live experiences of what we are going through. It's extremely painful working with Dayforce. Please do yourself a favor. DON'T consider Dayforce. You will regret!! Pros They have nice homepage/ contemporary looking website. They have a good sales team who force you into purchasing their product. Cons Horrible implementation team. Whole bunch of overseas IT who has no HR knowledge or understanding of labor laws. We can't understand most implementation team members' English. They promised us many things at the beginning and they only accomplished 10%. It's the slowest system/website I have ever used. Their customer support takes forever to resolve one issue. We have a simple issue that took them one month to resolve. Their website is extremely unstable. We get error messages and get booted out all the time. Their data integrity is horrible and their systems have so many limitations. They can't even build a simple formula that can properly accrue and calculate our PTO and CA sick leave policy. It has been incorrect for 5 straight payroll since we went live. Their report function is corrupted. We run the exact same report 3 times and each time we get different outcomes. Their system is corrupted. Our company regrets so much to choosing this company. But we already made our investments this far, there's really no way out at this point. Review Source Stacy G. Payroll specialist Warehousing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dayforce HCM Review" October 17, 2018 4.0 Its been very good and love using it daily Pros Its easy to use and even the none tech employees love it Cons Its slow loading sometimes for the intial login Review Source JF Jo F. Sr. Dir Corp ERP Applications Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Dayforce Review" October 23, 2019 4.0 We use this for payroll currently and are in the process of implementing HR. Pros The system is easy for us to use. We have not had any issues with our processes. Cons Report Building is not as robust as we would like. Alternatives considered [Oracle PeopleSoft](https://www.capterra.com/p/155958/Oracle-PeopleSoft/) Reason for choosing Dayforce HCM We preferred this cloud version Switched from [Oracle PeopleSoft](https://www.capterra.com/p/155958/Oracle-PeopleSoft/) Contract running out and wanted something different. Review Source AL Aimee L. HRIS Analyst Defense & Space Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good System" October 23, 2019 5.0 Pros The interface itself is pretty easy to use within the Dayforce modules and I really like how they talk to each other and streamline processes. I have had some of my best experiences with customer service through Ceridian and they always help me modify the system quickly to make it work effectively for me. Cons The biggest difficulty we've experienced is Dayforce's ability to talk with external systems. We have a number of third party vendors and the feeds between those and Dayforce have been extremely challenging to get running smoothly.

Payroll Coordinator Machinery Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Fluid, easy and functional " October 17, 2018 5.0 Overall I enjoy it very well Pros I love that dayforce allows you to have continuous calculations running when making changes. On the fly allows us to make changes and sees them in real time. Dayforce is very fluid and solid when it comes with inputting and processing multiple playgroups at once. Coming from previous service where I had to wait for the calculations is real time saver. Cons Sometimes it boots you out as well as the silverlight error. Review Source GD Gina D. Sr Payroll Analyst Legal Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Gina's Review" October 5, 2023 4.0 Pros User friendly to be able to get the job done Cons Not really sure like everything about it Review Source DS Doug S. CFO Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Bang for Buck" October 23, 2019 5.0 Pros Dayforce offers a lot of flexibility as a true single platform for HCM professionals. The system is extremely easy to use and has a robust training platform. I would recommend this product to anyone. Cons The API integration to other applications does need a bit of fine tuning but it works well for Passport Health. Review Source CB Cindy B. HR Manager Aviation & Aerospace Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Flexible Software for Evolving Needs" October 23, 2019 4.0 Pros The system is relatively easy for users to navigate. Dayforce is consistently adding new features/options that are relevant and help HR professionals support the organization. With customizable options, organizations can build solutions specific to their unique needs. Cons When software is updated, some fixes create other issues (e.g., recently our ability to see applicant questionnaires ‘disappeared’ after a fix was implemented to avoid duplicate questionnaires). Review Source MK Mike K. Benefits Admin Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Ceridian Dayforce HCM--an integrated approach" October 12, 2017 5.0 We were able to go from having seven different systems for payroll, benefits to only one. We have automated many of our processes and reduced/eliminated most of the spreadsheets we are using to track information as we have an actual system wherein to track this data. Pros One single application, totally integrated for payroll, benefits, HR, recruiting, performance management, etc. We really like that the system is easy to configure. Dayforce itself has come a long way in the 18 months we have been a customer--they have upgraded the platform several times. They are good listeners and seek to improve all the time. Cons We have struggled with carrier feeds. Dayforce is growing at such a rapid pace that it seems like the customer support side has been slow to catch up. In the 18 months we have been with Dayforce, we have had 3 customer success reps. The turnover (on their side) is a little worrisome. Review Source BW Bryan W. CFO Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Worst Ever - AVOID" May 19, 2022 1.0 Horrific. They are just awful to work with. Wasted six months of my payroll team's time, getting nowhere. Pros Nothing. We did and RFP and reviewed several different options for managing HR and payroll. Unfortunately, we went with Ceridian Dayforce due to price. It was the worst mistake ever. This is horrible software, matched only by the ridiculously incompetent deployment team. I would never work with them again. Cons The deployment was horrific. Multiple people, who obviously didn't talk to each other, with ever worse data templates that they requested we complete. The templates are indecipherable. I haven't seen a payroll system yet that people love, but I would avoid using this at all costs. The software is not good, and the implementation was even worse. Worst mistake ever choosing them. Review Source Melinda W. Customer Service Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Works Great." October 26, 2018 5.0 Pros I like it because it so very easy to use. I like the way you can look at your pay statements. It is very easy to figure everything out. I like the way I can request time off and clock in for work int he same system. Cons I like least the way it logs you out after awhile. Review Source SS Staci S. CEO Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Review Ceridian Dayforce" December 11, 2017 1.0 I would not recommend Ceridian Dayforce as a small company. Any pros are provided by all other similar systems still in dispute on credits to my account. Cons don't use this product. The sales staff tells you how great it will be, then when they fail to deliver in implementation they never get back to you. My implementation team pushed me into support as soon as the timeline for implementation was done, however we weren't finished. After 5 months I gave up on support. Dayforce just basically became a giant time keeping program. \* read fine print in contract, they added fees not in the quote. \* sales staff "bended" the truth all over the place \* promised trip to Vegas for their convention, never heard from my salesman again \* implementation never completed, took two calls and two emails over 5 months to a vice president before any concerns addressed. \* still two quarters later not fully operational \* website works extremely slow and cumbersome \*implementation consultant was unfamiliar with US rules and practices Review Source Matt H. Vice President of Member Experience and Healthy Living Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Enjoyalble and oh so functional" April 26, 2019 5.0 Pros The ability to have so much info and processes in line and flow so easy Cons The reporting and filtering is kinda difficult.
