" 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. Review Source TH Todd H. Director, IT Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Review Source JH Jordan H. Merchandise assistant Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use" 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 it can be diffficult for locate certain forms and tax documents under the different menus. I wish it were set up better in that sense. Review Source TS Tim S. Manager Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Review Source RN Rita N. Human Resources Manager Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Review Source LS Lori S. Vice President, Human Resources Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "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. Review Source CS Chip S. Supervisor Support Specialist Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "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. Review Source GH Garett H. HRIS Administrator Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Review Source JD Joey D. GM Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Make payroll easy" November 10, 2020 4.0 Great and quick to get up and using. Pros Easy scheduling and time clock functions. Easy employee login and information access. Cons A bit arduous to upload and offload new employees Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner, Health And Wellness Coach Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Dayforce creates seamless workflow for scheduling" April 26, 2019 5.0 Pros My work uses this software for scheduling but it is SO easy to use. Dayforce app makes it easy to swap or request shifts. I love that I can easily access it on my phone Cons I haven't come across anything that is really bad about it! Review Source Response from Dayforce June 20, 2019 We're so happy that you are enjoying your Dayforce experience! Thank you for taking the time to share. Wishing you continued success! Very best, Victoria VR Verified Reviewer Marketing Manager Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "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!

Best, Victoria JC Jan C. Sr Dir Total Rewards & Analytics Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Review Source SM Stephen M. Senior Benefits Specialist Oil & Energy Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "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. Review Source AO Andrea O. Payroll Manager Environmental Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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! Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director of Marketing Facilities Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "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. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Tax preparer Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "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. Review Source BC Brent C. Controller / operational analyst Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Brens review" October 17, 2018 5.0 Pros I enjoy the ability to work in multiple sections of dayforce ie hr and payroll without having to switch Cons I was late in getting brought into the software and would have liked to have a say in our companies vision from the get go Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Payroll Specialist Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "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. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Compensation Generalist Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Review Source NC Nadia C. Cfo Wholesale Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cfo" October 17, 2018 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 Review Source CW Clarence W. PM Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Review Source SC Sue C. Payroll Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Value for your money" October 23, 2019 3.0 We are in the process of implementation. Pros It has many capabilities that we haven’t even utilized yet. Cons The reports are limited. Had to pay for reports to e generated. Reason for choosing Dayforce HCM Use of other Ceridian product Review Source AC Alondra C. Sr. Human Resources Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dayforce Review" October 24, 2019 4.0 Benefits reduction in hours and labor savings. Pros What I like the most was that I was cloud base Cons What I dislike is not able to approve forms via mobile. Review Source BM Beverley M. Payroll & Benefits Coordinator Food Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An awesome all in one system" October 23, 2019 4.0 Pros The all in one aspect to save on reconciliation and auditing. Cons Upgrades that don't do as anticipated and then hinders using the system Review Source BD Bridget D. HR Systems Senior Specialist Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "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.
