January 31, 2019 5.0 Better that UTM Pros Always accurate download data ; some TM system does not load the same file created.

Personnel Agent Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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 Review Source AT Anjelica T. Team lead Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Use to process my time and payroll" January 27, 2023 5.0 Pros What I like about the software is, I can see exactly everything that’s going on with my payroll.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer HR Operations Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Dayforce HCM Software" October 23, 2019 4.0 So far going smoothly but some disconnect with the implementation consultant. Pros It has a lot of features that will keep all employees and managers happy throughout the use. Cons Lot of at times unclear connecting steps and very long process. Alternatives considered [UKG Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/480/UKG-Pro/)[Paylocity](https://www.capterra.com/p/86714/WebPay/) Reason for choosing Dayforce HCM Just had the best fit overall Switched from [ADP Workforce Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/155895/WorkforceNow/) Putting everything on one platform and report reviews. Review Source LH Lisa H. Global payroll manager Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Stay with ADP" April 5, 2020 1.0 Implementation and functionality is awful Pros Pre Payroll Audits. That's about it. Cant seem to submit this without more details. Cons Not user friendly. Functionality is not up to standards of other softward. Review Source MR Mohibur R. Lead Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Dayforce review" July 16, 2019 5.0 Pros Well organized, everything is easily accessible. Cons Everyday around 2 am dayforce stops working.

Review Source LL Lisa L. Sr. Payroll Specialist Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best HRIS/HCM software I’ve ever used...honestly" October 17, 2018 5.0 I love Dayforce and Ceridian... they are a truly innovative company that values their employees as much as their customers... makes me wish I could work for them! Pros Ease of use, single database system, cloud based, continuously upgrading software to stay ahead of market trends, innovative Cons Currently switching to HTML instead of Silverlight and it is a little cumbersone but they are constantly improving speed and listen to customer feedback to make changes Review Source BM Barbara M. HR Corp Manager Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Love it!" October 23, 2019 5.0 Pros Dayforce is bring our organization and our HR team into the 21st century. Getting us out the spreadsheet purgatory and reducing time spent on administrative task to focus on our our internal customers... our employees. Cons Ease of use for our Spanish speaking employees that don’t have personal computers and emails to register the first time. Alternatives considered [UKG Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/480/UKG-Pro/) Reason for choosing Dayforce HCM How smart the system is. The dashboard. The ease of use. ONE SYSTEM not multiple systems talking to one another. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Member Services Lead Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easiest payroll software to use" August 29, 2018 5.0 Pros Dayforce is much easier to use than our old human capital management software. Everyting from payroll to recruiting runs smoothly and effectively. Cons It can sometimes be difficult to navigate the desktop version for new users. Review Source EP Erin P. Controller Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review" October 23, 2019 3.0 The software is fine. The Support side of things needs improved. We are in the process of implementing to another platform and it has not went well. Pros The navigation through the menu and the report writing is very simple. Cons Customer support. Entering a ticket and receiving a response takes to long. Need an actual contact person who can work with you immediately rather than weeks later to hear from the support ticket. Reason for choosing Dayforce HCM Corporate direction Review Source DM Dave M. Global Implementation Manager Chemicals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Implementation Review" October 23, 2019 3.0 Pros Implementation internationally has had many challenges. Once Implemented, we have seen many benefits to the software however. Cons Implementation struggles and lack of cohesion between product team and implementation team Review Source KW Karen W. Controller Medical Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Horrible Software for reporting" September 12, 2017 2.0 Oh, there's so much to say. Horrible software! Cons From the financial reporting side: Reports that are generated, are not in the correct Excel format. I have to manipulate EVERYTHING just to be able to use it. They don't have a work comp report, unless you want to pay them to create it, which we had to do. I just needed them to run SUTA expense with payroll, but not pay the tax to the state, since we have a trust. They can't handle that. So now, I'm stuck with no SUTA expense to record and Ceridian staff saying, the software doesn't support what we need. Basically, if it's something you need that doesn't fit them, forget about it. You are required to conform to them, not the other way around. They are not customer oriented at all. Customer support is severely lacking. Our implementation has not gone well, and we are not finished. It has been 5 months. The entire process has been extremely frustrating. Review Source MM Mike M. Area Manager (Atlantic Canada) Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Dayforce review" October 12, 2018 4.0 Pros Easy to use, I can switch between my management and employee page. Very helpful when employees have payroll issues, I can quickly look into it. Cons Occasionally difficult to get back to the home page/list of employees Review Source SJ Sierra J. Production assistant Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great" November 8, 2018 5.0 Pros The ease of use is great everything is self explanatory keeps good track of hours and time requests Cons I dont like all the frequent maintenance repairs and the reponse time can be long sometimes lack of information Review Source WB William B. Assistant Technology Coordinator Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dayforce - Do Workers Really Want It?" February 5, 2020 3.0 Dayforce is okay to use if you are choosing a system, but I think it enables the employer a little too much control. Pros Dayforce allows employers to communicate messages, schedules, etc. with their employees. Pretty much any work communication can be sent out with this. Cons The software is clunky and gives employers 24/7 communication to an employee, which I think breaks some boundaries. I think work communication needs to stay at work. Review Source Jermaine L P. Business Owner Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Punching the Clock is Easy" December 12, 2018 5.0 So far, it has beena great experience with this software Pros I like the ease of use and the features are easy to access, and the links are easy to click. If you need to make edits they are easy to do and save within the time clock function. Your time card is easily displayed Cons I do not have anything negative to say about this software so far. Review Source EL Eric L. CFO Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dayforce Review" October 23, 2019 3.0 It’s is good but not great. There is plenty of room for improvement Pros Versatility, continuous product improvement Cons Lack of Intuitive Forms, The Tax Department Needs work, the software is still glitchy, dayforce focuses to much on bog companies now and doesn’t seem to cater to the market that got them where they are today. Reason for choosing Dayforce HCM It was the only product that could handle our complex payroll and compensation model Review Source EJ Eric J. VP Customer Service Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Bad software" July 25, 2018 3.0 Pros Not Much good to say as a user. The interface looks nice, but is not user friendly. Not sure it is worth the integration. Cons Confusing wording. Constant alerts that you have to delete (who needs another inbox)? When you open the software, a pop up blocks the item you are trying to use (crazy). During pay period lockdowns, you can't do anything but still get reminders and alerts. Worse EVERY TIME YOU LEAVE IT SAYS YOU MIGHT LOSE YOUR WORK even though there is no save button.... what are you supposed to do? Leave it open and worry all the time? Review Source MK Mike K. Payroll and HRIS Adminstrator Banking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Large Learning Curve" June 2, 2017 4.0 Overall I do think it is a quality product, it just requires a lot of massaging to get out what you need. Pros Having benefits, payroll, (WFM), tax compliance, all in the same system is very useful. Changes are reflected instantly Cons Support is not worthy. The product seems very focused on retail and manufacturing companies and employers, such as mine, have to manipulate the system to work with our office staff who do not use time clocks or conform to schedules. A lot of 'upgrades are broken upon release and could use more internal testing before dropping them on customers. Review Source JH Julia H. HR generalist Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I just want an ethnicity field" October 17, 2018 4.0 Pros I like that dayforce is constantly updating their software. Within 2 or 3 clicks you’re seeing the info you want. Cons There are certain fields that seem to be missing. There needs to be an ethnicity field that is viewable in the My HR screen.
