### "Culture and Engagement Director"

October 17, 2018

5.0

Remote usage makes it easier to work remotely. On-board quicker and more efficiently

Pros

Innovation. Everything I ask for I usually get within reason. I use Recruiting and Onboarding primarily.

Cons

Long wait times to long in. Some updates happen without realizing. Shouldn’t be a problem. Just takes time to learn new things so quickly

### "Very poor functionality for managers and senior executives"

February 21, 2019

3.0

Pros

Dayforce has made it easier and more streamlined to run the regular functions of payroll admin for our finance department.

Cons

The functionality for the regular manager has been appalling. Interfaces like Silverlight are unreliable and inconsistent. The idea that the managers in a company could manage their team's vacation schedule and have visibility to basic information that is normally contained in most payroll software programs has just proven to be generally not possible in our experience. Functionality with numerous browsers (ie" Safari) is non-existent and the response time of Ceridian to fix these challenges has not been acceptable.

### "Dayforce HCM Review"

April 4, 2017

5.0

Really like being on one platform for HR and payroll. Dayforce is a very robust product. Ceridian continues to improve on this product and offer more features each year. Truly a one stop shop product.

Pros

One platform and very robust.

Cons

Does not offer succession planning or 360 performance feedback as of this review.

October 17, 2018

We are having great success with reporting and employee record management in Dayforce.

Pros

I love that all of the various employee data is integrated into one system.

Cons

I don’t like that som features are only usable in Internet Explorer and that a lot are in add on modules that cost more.

### "Dayforce is terrific one stop people management software."

June 15, 2018

4.0

It's no helpful to have all our employee information and payroll in one place. Really cuts down on the paperwork and need to integrate with other products.

Pros

Dayforce is always adding new features and modules - plus improving on the existing ones. May modules are customizable.

Cons

Customer support is generally very good, but if there is an urgent need for a top level support person, it can sometimes take a while.

### "User-friendly, for the most part"

December 15, 2021

4.0

Pros

The benefits open enrollment feature is easy to use, as is reviewing pay stubs and submitting tax forms. These are the features most of our employees use the most.

Cons

The time clock/scheduling interface is small and not as intuitive as some of the other interfaces.

Pros

It was really easy to use, epically if you have the badge readers.

It seemed like it would time out of your session pretty fast.

### "Increased Transparency of Employee Benefits"

December 6, 2022

4.0

Pros

Dayforce makes it very simple and easy to know the status and balances of my PTO. Dayforce allowed for a seamless transition and integration from multiple previous softwares into a singular one.

Cons

The PTO and balances portion can be a bit difficult to use at times. There are a lot of drop downs and options where the drop down portion is not the most effective. It would be nice to see the use of more color to identify different values, options, etc.

### "At first it was difficult to understand the system it took practice to get easier. I could have "

October 5, 2017

4.0

Pros

The system helped me in identifying potential candidates in a short amount of time, with the large amounts of candidates I needed to streamline

Cons

The price, other systems can do the same for less. It was. Very difficult to get the manager's buy in

### "Dayforce - Quick and Easy!"

August 3, 2018

5.0

Dayforce is a good management software that our company uses to track employees.

Pros

Dayforce is a useful tool for employee management. I am a weekly user of this software, as it tracks my vacation, benefits, payroll, etc. It is very useful to go in to book my vacations, and to track what I have used in previous years. Once you have requested time off (whether it be for vacation, sick time or personal time), it then gets sent to my manager, who then approves it. It is then automatically logged and all parties know how many days of vacation I have left.

Cons

This software is quick and easy to use! It is intuitive and does not require much work to learn.

DF has provided us with the opportunity to automatic so many of our day to day tasks and now we can focus on strategic planning.

Pros

How everything is connected throughout the various modules. The full employee life cycle is well documented.

Cons

Loading speed can be improved. At times timesheets can take up to 2 mins load.

### "Distributed my work to others "

October 17, 2018

4.0

Pros

I was able to turn over benefits to the benefits manager. This has freed up much needed time for me and enriched her job in a positive way. Payroll is much less administratively cumbersome. Payroll staff can focus on enhancements. Overall there has been an improvement in job satisfaction with a shift to focusing on change management.

Cons

Learning curve for some has been challenging for some. Recruiting is not robust enough to work for us.

### "Dayforce is a great product that has simplified many processes."

October 11, 2017

4.0

Pros

User friendly program makes life and workload manageable. We have gone from having boxes and boxes of backup to having almost none.

Cons

Not knowing enough about the background steps to make changes needed within the system confidently. There are many different screens that make up the background processing that I feel can be redundant but not being confident where all those places and screens are makes me hesitant to make those changes.

### "Review"

October 24, 2019

4.0

We went live July 1st but as of today still have items that are not completed. Other than that our employees seem to be adjusting to the new software.

Pros

The benefits module was a huge plus for us as we were having major issues with our legacy software. Also liked the recruiting/on boarding features for our driver population

Cons

Implementation was very stressful but we had a great implementation team

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing Dayforce HCM

We just preferred the sales presentations and all the features that Dayforce offered.

5.0

Pros

Recruiting has really stood out to our company. The customer support is great with fast response time.

### "DayForce review 2023"

January 16, 2023

5.0

Pros

Well, I like the most about the software was that it was easy to use, and had many features to communicate with the employer and fellow employees, as well as provide information to employees in a timely matter.

Cons

What I like, least about the software would simply leave the pricing as not many smaller, corporations, can afford it for all the employees
