### "Mixed Feedback"

October 23, 2019

4.0

I think the actual product is great and even better than I realized. However, I am not necessarily as impressed with some members of the implementation team. And definitely not impressed with implementation members inability to give guidance on watching videos, which ones, and length of time of videos so you can plan accordingly. We have wasted a lot of time in this area.

Pros

Vast capability for organizations that are large and have resources to administer

Cons

Can be very difficult unless you have identified HRIS resources/implementation people

Reason for choosing Dayforce HCM

My President and sister company really wanted it. Plus it is a really robust system.

### "Employees dislike this over their previous ADP time tracking software. Too difficult to use."

September 15, 2017

3.0

None over previous software. I do believe that it is better for the people who process our payroll, but for us users like me (time clock punchers), it is more difficult than our previous software.

Pros

The software itself is pretty comprehensive. There are many options and it keeps track of daily time, time off requests, sick days remaining, vacation remaining, etc.

Cons

Some employees, like me, who punch a clock find it difficult to use as far as approving "time", requesting time off. Often takes too long too load before punching in. A common complaint is punching in late when the employee was actually early to work. This seems to be computer dependent. Newer computers having little to no problems punching in while folks using older computers have the software loading too slowly issue.

### "Solid platform"

October 13, 2017

4.0

Pros

All-in-one integrated system. Easy to use for employees, yet sophisticated enough for power users to customize the back-end for our needs. I like their road map for the next couple years. They've made great changes to the interface as well as added new features. It looks like that trend will continue, which is exciting.

Cons

Performance can be a bit slow because the foundation is built on Silverlight. Technical support can be hit or miss.

### "Dayforce creates seamless workflow for scheduling"

April 26, 2019

### "Slow loading, old UI"

May 10, 2018

2.0

My only formal way to post and track vacation days for myself and employees.

Pros

Using the software basically only for vacation tracking. Nice GUI, yet many screens with functions not in use.

Cons

As a cloud service, software should not be that slow... Loading... Downloading Web Components... Initializing.... Loading again... after 2 minutes you finally have access to the software and all you wanted is to fill in a vacation day. Hello, this is 2018!

### "Dayforce Review"

October 23, 2019

4.0

I have only had a brief exposure as I am new to the company. I think there is tremendous opportunity to implement more features.

Pros

I like all the integrated functionality.

Cons

Some features still feel siloed...you should be able to bring earnings into the comp module.

### "Dayforce From a Benefits Perspective "

October 17, 2018

4.0

It has been good. Implementing the system was tough but once it has been established it has worked well.

Pros

The report feature is easy to navigate. It allows you to pull the necessary fields to verify data that is sent to vendors as well as comparing benefit deductions to enrolled benefits. After your first open enrollment, it is simple to create the new open enrolment the following year.

Cons

It tends to be slow when logging into he system. When you have employees on the phone that are asking questions about their benefit, it could take a minute sometimes to log in. It also times you out very quickly.

### "Awesome Capabilites"

October 23, 2019

4.0

A time saver - we no longer have as many manual processes.

Pros

It does everything! Our payroll and HR Teams are able to collaborate more!

Cons

Support tickets are slow to answer. Once you get their attention thought they are knowledgeable and helpful!

### "Good Time Off Software"

August 22, 2019

5.0

Streamlined time off requests and reduces "busy" work for managers.

Pros

The scalability of this software made it easy to implement across multiple offices and divisions. It integrates with our existing payroll solution.

Cons

The implementation timeline was extremely long. While there is a lot of customizations, I feel like the implementation period could be cut down.

### "Dayforce "

December 11, 2019

3.0

It does a great job at tracking time for work and taking the guess work out of lunch time and overtime.

Pros

The best thing about dayforce is how easy it is to clock in and out. I like that I can access my detailed payroll history and print paystubs.

Cons

I don’t like the fact that I have to go through the log in process every time I use it, instead of the option to save your login information for an easy login.

### "Implementation process did not go as we thought"

February 5, 2018

4.0

points for swag

Pros

The flexibility and adaptability. We can easily change policies and structure as we grow and add new locations. We have adapted it based on the uniqueness of our business and it will work with what we need.

Cons

Support and implementation are lacking. Our implementation team dropped the ball on many occasions and did not listen to our needs. We have been active over a month and still are working with the implementation on things that should have been resolved prior to us going live.

### "Easy Way to Manage and Track Time"

August 26, 2019

4.0

We were able to quickly set up time clocks around the building and it allows us the capability to clock in and out online.

Pros

I like that the system allows an easy and intuitive way to track and manage time for salaried and hourly employees. I am able to quickly log in and see my time away and time left to use. Messages are easy to find and understand once my supervisor approves my time off.

Cons

That it took a long time to implement with our company. Our company is very complex and requires a lot of custom integrations and they struggled to accomplish this task.

4.0

Rewarding and cost savings

Pros

The support team availability and expertise but you are not just a customer but part of their team They really want you to succeed before and after implementation and that is the key the continuous presence

Cons

Some of the options as a deductions like additional races as a separate line is still not available even after the two years that we implemented should be available like guarnishees

### "Cost effective solution for our production employee scheduling needs."

July 10, 2017

4.0

Single solution for labor demand projections, employee scheduling and time away from work tracking and management for many geographically dispersed locations.

Pros

Mobile app is an employee favorite, user friendly interface, strong willingness of the vendor to accept and incorporate improvement and enhancement suggestions and requests.

Cons

Some limits in anticipated functionality, reporting and data retrieval for external analysis can be difficult.

### "Ceridian Dayforce"

April 18, 2018

4.0

Pros

Dayforce is much easier to navigate from an end user perspective, so training the field on authorizing schedules, time sheets, time away from work, and any kind of employment form (promotions, terminations, ect.) was successful at my organization. I think having a system that is simple to use has really helped us to increase our payroll accuracy across the organization since the field is more willing to be engaged.

Cons

The fact that some of their modules still use MS Silverlight, which means my browser choices are limited when working in the system.

### "Not so easy to use, reporting is difficult"

March 3, 2022

2.0

not a negative experience overall but thought that we needed something with better reporting, and needed more of an all in one system

Pros

its simple enough that it gets what we need to get done, saves information and allows us to store data

Cons

reporting was very hard to get off. i could never successfully pull reports well. the overall look and feel felt outdated, and could use some updating.

### "Best HCM product on the market"

March 19, 2018

5.0

Pros

Ease with which we are able to process payroll since HR, benefits, and payroll are all in one system.

Cons

I don't have a lot of cons to share, but some administrators may find managing the system challenging if they have not worked with an outsourced HCM product before as the level of customization/configuration is vast (not a con at all in my opinion.=).

### "Convenient Software for your company!"

February 15, 2023

4.0

Overall, my experience with Dayforce has been positive. I would recommend this product.

Pros

What I liked most was having mobile access to submit and approve timecards for staff on the go! Much needed in a busy environment!

Cons

What I liked least is, sometimes the application would glitch, and I would have to resubmit my time or other times for them.

### "We went live with Time & Attendance 9/2016 because of the scheduling benefit, we were impressed with the product."

June 11, 2018

5.0

Pros

I manage the employee benefits for 2600 employees. Managing benefits including file feeds and billing if VERY simple. PPACA reporting is on point!

Cons

Reporting is challenging. An administrator Topic package that includes all topics. Too many topic reports require many reports to be merged to get the info you are looking for. No employee home page.
