### "I like the product but I wish I had more capability to do things on the app like approve time & reqs"

October 23, 2019

4.0

Pros

Some capabilities via mobile, Cerdian has a full platform. I do not have to add other products to it, the analytics and reporting capabilities once I learn how to use them

Cons

The message center. Because I am an administrator I get all messages. Therefore, I cannot see when I have things that I need to do directly for my team. Someone has to call me to remind me to approve things for my team. I wish I could get a special notification when I need to approve something for my team, like a buzzer or something. Since notifications are in Dayforce and no email notification comes thru to tell me to approve something for my team, it makes things challenging.

Reason for choosing Dayforce HCM

Demo was customized/branded for our company and we could get everything in one product.

### "Simple to use but a little buggy"

June 18, 2020

3.0

It has a simple interface and nice adjustments, but when it comes to daily usage, it could be really annoying.

Pros

It has a simple interface, it is possible to adjust the UI to your preferences (like showing your most used features on the main page, and order them out).

Cons

When I clock in or out, it always registers one minute after the time that I really clicked. It a little bit slow to navigate between pages, and it always prompts a confirmation when a want to close the tab. They are simple things but when summed up, it is really annoying, mainly if you have to use it on a daily basis.

### "Going through implementation"

October 23, 2019

3.0

We had separate systems and were looking for one system to fit our needs. It hasnt helped with improving time so far in recruitment. Our implementation was horrible in almost every area

Pros

Ease of setup and onboarding. Integration in all areas of the product.

Cons

reporting features and limited functions in recruitment.

### "Good Payrll Software"

May 9, 2019

4.0

Overall, it is a great payroll software.

Pros

I like that it tracks balances of vacation days in real time. I like that I can access my paystubs from anywhere. It's convenient!

Cons

I dislike that after time off has been approved it can't be edited. Instead, it has to be cancelled and re-submitted for approval.

### "Easy use, but still needs work"

February 28, 2018

4.0

Pros

The payroll function is very intuitive. It’s easy to get through and the canned audit reports are very useful. Timesheets and auditing is simple as well. It’s not rocket science when training in new employees and managers.

Cons

The reporting features needs a lot of work. If you need a specific report and want to customize, you will get errors and not fixable. You’ll literally have to pay for every report you need that is not a canned report.

### "Work with dayforce for tracking hourly employees."

June 5, 2018

4.0

Pros

Dayforce makes it easy to track time off, approve timecards and keep track of employee data all in one place.

Cons

Dayforce has an outdated app design that makes it appear clunky next to a lot of the modern webapps.

### "Very supportive through the selection process"

October 23, 2019

4.0

We were looking to consolidate our systems with an easy to use product

Pros

We selected the product due to its functionality, it's great GUI, and the support we received during our selection process. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\]. our Sales Executive, was extremely available and helpful as we were comparing HRIS products.

Cons

We are curious how effective the ATS will be over the long-haul, but are optimistic.

4.0

Great!

Pros

Customizable, like that it is all connected, like schedules and timesheets, like self-serve options for employeees

### "Easy to use and navigate"

July 18, 2020

5.0

Overall, I am happy with this program and its app version.

Pros

This is very easy for everyday use, especially on the cell phone app. Password less entry through finger print scan is also appreciated.

Cons

Sometimes, I have found that the app version is not as fluid and easy to use as the desktop version.

5.0

We have streamlined processes and a lot of self service for employees.

Pros

The ability to configure and the east navigation.

### "Good for the bare bones but not intuitive"

July 31, 2019

3.0

The benefit is that it is easy for employees to login and enter information as well as for managers to approve timesheets

Pros

It's easy to enter your timesheets both on a desktop and mobile.

Cons

It's not intuitive, finding things like job postings, salary information etc is not easy. The mobile app doesn't allow for finding job postings at all, and it is difficult to navigate unless you're only using it to fill out timesheets.

### "Associate Payroll Manager "

October 17, 2018

4.0

Pros

I really like the My Pay feature that shows when an employee has a net pay difference from the last pay period. It has been incredibly helpful when auditing the payrolls for inaccurate benefit changes or tax chanages.

Cons

The standard payroll reports have a lot of information that isn’t needed when processing payroll. It would be helpful to have the ability to filter out what isn’t needed before running the reports in excel format, such as the earnings register report.

### "Good Option with Great Ease of Use "

November 28, 2019

3.0

Overall, DayForce has been a positive experience with not a lot of heavy lifting to get everyone engaged and familiar with its navigation.

Pros

Super easy to manage the time away for a large team and UI and features are very easy to use from both an employee and manager profile perspective.

Cons

It shuts you out for no clear reason and the user experience isn't ideal across all major browsers we use daily. It would be a game changer if we could add custom messaging targeted to our employees on the home page. It's a wasted opportunity that we could have used to push out important information to our team.

Reason for choosing Dayforce HCM

We liked the fact that DayForce wither was creating, offering or connected to other components of workforce management that the company needs to add as we continue to grow.

### "Use it everyday"

January 22, 2019

5.0

Pros

What i love about this app, is that you can requests a swap of shifts with your collegues if you know there is . aday that you can't come into work

Cons

What i dislike about this is the fact that you can not access your pay stub or your tax forms in it, that would make it much easier for people to access all information in one app.

### "Easy to use"

November 15, 2017

4.0

Overall, Ceridian Dayforce HCM is slick. It is such an improvement to what we had!

Pros

The cloud based platform is quick and real time. It is easy to navigate and you can learn most of it by just exploring.

Cons

There are some features that could use some improvement. But what's nice is you can suggest an improvement and if others want it and vote on it, the Ceridian team will review it and possibly implement your suggesting in one of their upgrades!

October 23, 2019

We're currently an HPL payroll customer moving to Dayforce because of sun setting of HPL. Wish we had moved to Dayforce a long time ago!

Pros

Automated processes are great. Onboarding, wage changes, FORMS

Cons

Still learning the system. Not as fast as I want to be.

### "A Good Attendance Tracker"

November 29, 2021

5.0

Overall, Dayforce is a good tool that does its job well. It's more simplistic them complicated, and I find that refreshing when compared to some of the other software I use.

Pros

My workplace uses Dayforce as our attendance tracker. We can easily login and submit the time/days we want off, and the workflow will automatically move to our manager who can approve the time. It's a relatively easy tool to use, and makes recording a breeze as it holds a record of available time and time taken over the year. There are other features, such as viewing my earning, and various payment forms. It's a nice tool.

Cons

One disappointment is the calendar feature. The default view shows the calendar with Saturday first, rather than Sunday. I rarely see it like this anywhere in America, so it's been a cause of mistakes and confusion for me and my co-workers.

### "Ceridian Review"

October 23, 2019

4.0

I enjoy working with dayforce and learning from the system

Pros

The opportunity to customize the modules and forms are amazing in the recruiting feature and make for a one of a kind experience.

Cons

It is a forward moving product. They are constantly improving and it is a lot to digest.

March 3, 2022

5.0

Pros

The implementation process was great. The consultants were very helpful. We have been live for more than 6 months now, its been a great experience so far.

Cons

We had some difficulty to have the carrier feed to get to work, the testing took more time than expected.

### "Easy Peasy! "

December 5, 2018

5.0

Pros

This software has such an easy navigation. Our team members were able to hop in and identify where to go and what to do to manage their own HRIS needs - specifically in regards to benefits and time off.

Cons

I feel like there are many features of this tool that we are just not using. Some of the scheduling features can be better applied, but we need to review the capabilities.

### "Complex Multi-Coubtry Implementation"

October 4, 2017

4.0

Pros

One of our major wins was the consolidation of HRIS, Workforce Management and Payroll under one roof with one employee record. We were able to move Canada, UK and US employees into ONE SYSTEM. Huge win for our users and technical team.

Cons

The implementation was complex and our team struggled throughout the phases. We required strong project management resources on the Ceridian side, and that role was not a strength. We went through multiple Ceridian PMs and eventually hired an additional PM for the client side. The implementation team approach to certain functions - specifically entitlement setup - did not align with best practices endorsed by the Ceridian support team. Unfortunately we did not learn this until after go-live. We ended up reworking Entitlements post implementation.

April 24, 2018

5.0

Pros

I like the ease of requesting PTO and approving time clocks for each employee. Time management is easy with dayforce.

Cons

### "On the Fence"

September 26, 2019

4.0

For the business, it was great to have payroll tied in with other functions. However, the security involved meant that there were a lot of menus to go through for the average employee to get the information they needed. Perhaps it was a poor set-up choice by the IT management, but it left a questionable taste in my mouth for Dayforce.

Pros

I liked how much horsepower Dayforce had. A lot of data across the organization's departments was integrated, and I never saw glitches or crashes, it was quite impressive.

Cons

The controls and menus, especially for end users, were vast and difficult to navigate. The learning curve was steep, and I found customer service on the slow side.

### "Moving from a spreadsheet/ accounting program module to Dayforce was like "dancing in the rain". "

July 26, 2017

5.0

The program holds so much information about the employee and the ease of adding more modules to the payroll program make it a very helpful product. It has so many more features than what I've had access to in the past.

Pros

I like the way the software is very easy to use. The program has very good reporting and easy to create reports. Staff are able to catch on quickly to it's use and don't have a problem with the program. It is alos cloud based so it can be accessed anywhere by employees.
