Human Resources Manager Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "DayForce - one product does it all" October 23, 2019 5.0 Real time payroll allows us to audit payroll often and not wait until processing day. During implementation many of our PM left during the project which delayed our progress. Also, some of the IC did not understand US law which we then had to explain how to set up our payroll. Pros Single sign on to do payroll, HR records, performance module, compensation. Cons When searching for employees, we need to know which company, department to search for their timesheets. Review Source LB Lee B. Director Of Financial Planning and Analysis Used the software for: 2+ years ### "HR Software At It's Finest!" September 5, 2017 5.0 Great tool. Have used many HR products over the years and this is by far the easiest, and most user friendly tool of the bunch. I would recommend this application to anyone searching for their next HR suite. Pros Robust Feature List, Intuitive Design, Customizable Fields and Forms, Custom Reporting and Dashboards, One Stop shop for all HR needs including Payroll Cons Slow Customer Service Response. I also dislike the payroll preview. we have had situations where employees see preliminary numbers. These issues are minor and easily overcome. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer VP, Demand Marketing Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "So not user friendly... Old." April 4, 2018 1.0 Cons Everything? Probably. Let's start with the fact it requires Silverlight in your browser to work. It's 2018 now. UI is designed to generate clicks after clicks to find what you need. Review Source Response from Dayforce July 17, 2018 Hi There, Thank you for sharing your feedback and we're so sorry you didn't have a great experience. We'd love to look into these issues and find an appropriate resolution! Do you mind emailing us at victoria.caruk@ceridian.com so we can look into this further for you? Very Best, Victoria SM Susan M. HR Manager Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Intuitive and Easy" January 18, 2018 4.0 Most systems are easy, this system would be great for a large company with one dedicated COBRA administrator or for a single person department that just needs a little help with the demands/regulations for COBRA notification. I never worry that I am out of compliance when I use Ceridian. Pros We use it as a TPA of COBRA, and it is very much aligned to help with a one person department. Once you add someone to the system you can use it from hire notice to COBRA notice smoothly. I like the portal, and find that they developers definitely had hard core HR knowledge. They handle everything as long as the data is accurate, we only moved away from this platform when the insurance broker took over COBRA admin for us. Cons In the perfect world i could afford to have it integrate with the current ATS, but that is not the case. Also, the reports can be clunky but once you set up your favorites and schedule them you can expect them to run well. Review Source LF Laura F. Recruiter Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Another happy customer!" March 2, 2017 5.0 Our company made the switch in 2013 to Dayforce and we are so glad we did! The software is easy to use and support services has been very helpful as our needs have changed throughout our contract. We are currently using Dayforce for general HRIS functions including timekeeping, payroll, benefits, and taxes, and are on the cusp of rolling out recruiting and scheduling for full HR integration. It was a big leap for our company to leave our prior payroll company and go with Dayforce, but we are so happy we did. We have more reports and metrics available for analysis than ever before. Pros Clear, easy to use interface Review Source MA Monica A. HR Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "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. Review Source Danilo N. Engenheiro de software Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "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. Review Source KT Kara T. Recruiter Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "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. Alternatives considered [UKG Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/480/UKG-Pro/) Reason for choosing Dayforce HCM We were told it had more functionality than it actually did Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Accounting Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "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. Review Source Response from Dayforce May 13, 2019 Thanks so much for sharing your review. This is valuable feedback and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Wishing you continued success! Thanks again, Victoria TY Tina Y. Payroll Admin II Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "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. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer R & D Engineer Consumer Goods Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "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. Review Source CB Chris B. Head of HR and TA Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "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. Alternatives considered [UKG Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/480/UKG-Pro/) Reason for choosing Dayforce HCM Power. It could do a lot more. Switched from [ADP Workforce Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/155895/WorkforceNow/) We wanted a centralized system that would be able to support our field employees by being easy to use, yet powerful. Review Source BK Berenika K. Payroll & HR Specialist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My Review" October 23, 2019 4.0 Great! Pros Customizable, like that it is all connected, like schedules and timesheets, like self-serve options for employeees Cons Reports can be confusing to customize and the workflows and notifications with ours don’t seem to work well Review Source MB Marcus B. Trader Joe's Crew Member Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Review Source
