Pros I liked most about Dayforce HCM the ability to pay people on time and accurately. Cons The thing I like least about Dayforce HCM is how often it errors out and kicks me from the application.

Review Source AVP - Human Resources Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Dayforce Provides An Innovative All-In-One Solution" November 5, 2024 5.0 I have been using Dayforce for almost 10 years. We still don't use all the modules (even though I would like to) but I hope we get there in the next few years. The features we currently use have positively impacted our efficiency and accountability. I greatly enjoyed attending the Insights conferences for several years and look forward to the new Discover Dayforce event this year. The FIT sessions, demonstrations, product updates, and opportunities to meet one-on-one with customer support reps are extremely valuable. Pros Everything is in one place and they are constantly innovating by adding or updating features to manage the changing needs of employers and the workforce. I feel comfortable with their efforts to ensure the highest levels of compliance. Cons Like every application there are little quirks and malfunctions from time to time. I have found Dayforce support to be helpful in these cases. Also, since it is such a robust system it can take a while to learn your way around, but the community and support portal provide needed resources.

Also, we had experience with Ceridian products and they were our introduction to Dayforce. Review Source MC Michelle C. Contact Centre Agent Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Dayforce Review :)" November 25, 2024 5.0 My overall experience the past few years using Dayforce has been steady, I have had issues uploading my Schedules into my Phone Calendar in the past, but Dayforce makes this really easy. Pros Dayforce is very reliable and it updates on time. I love all the information I have access to through Dayforce as well. Cons There is nothing I dislike about Dayforce. Review Source Content strategist SEO (marketing digital) Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Dayforce HCM, un logiciel idéal pour la gestion des tâches de marketing liées aux RH" September 11, 2023 5.0 En bref, Dayforce HCM est une solution puissante pour la gestion des ressources humaines et des effectifs. La plateforme peut avoir un impact sur les activités de marketing liées aux ressources humaines. En revanche, elle n'est pas adaptée aux fonctions plus larges de marketing numérique. Les entreprises doivent évaluer leurs besoins spécifiques en matière de ressources humaines et de marketing pour déterminer si l'outil convient à leurs exigences. Pros Dayforce HCM est un logiciel convivial, sécurisé et agréable à utiliser pour gérer les tâches de marketing liées aux ressources humaines d'une organisation. Je le recommande à toutes les entreprises qui recherchent un outil plurifonctionnel dédié au service RH. La plateforme s'occupe à la fois de la paie, le suivi des heures et des présences, la gestion des avantages sociaux et la gestion des talents. Elle permet ainsi de rationaliser les processus RH. En outre, il s'agit d'un outil professionnel qui peut s'intégrer à d'autres systèmes d'entreprise, tels que les logiciels de comptabilité. Cet avantage permet d'améliorer la précision des données et l'efficacité des tâches de marketing liées aux ressources humaines. Cons Dayforce HCM est un logiciel efficace pour traiter des informations sur les salariés et peut etre utiliser à des fins de marketing. Cependant, le logiciel a des fonctionnalités marketing limitées. Même s'il propose à l'utilisateur certaines fonctions de base pour la communication avec des employés, l'outil ne peut pas s'occuper des campagnes marketing plus avancées. Review Source Senior HR Generalist Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Great HRIS Product!" September 11, 2023 5.0 Overall, Experience is great; they are responsive and have a community of users who help one another and share best practices. Pros Although we currently do not have all the features available, Dayforce has allowed for streamlined processes and even automated some processes. Cons Nothing at this time. I have enjoyed using the software.

Cons Throughout our implementation process, persistent issues plagued our experience with Dayforce. Right from the start, we faced issues with faulty system configuration, including confidential data being accessible to lower level employees. We have been told by support personnel at Dayforce that our system is improperly configured. Our implementation manager failed to address concerns adequately and failed to conclude the professional relationship officially. Instead, we were left with a slew of unresolved issues and unanswered inquiries. Despite scheduled follow-up meetings, these sessions were repeatedly abandoned by the manager. Frustratingly, after weeks of unanswered emails and our futile attempts at problem-solving, we were told from our implementation manager that she had to get permission to charge more billable hours to us, and that was why she hadn't communicated with us in several weeks. Seven months post-implementation, our file feeds for benefits remain incomplete. Despite our immediate request following implementation, this crucial aspect of our system has yet to be fully operational. The persistent issues we face significantly hamper our productivity, particularly concerning our convoluted payroll setup. The payroll segment of Dayforce has demonstrated a lack of accountability, particularly evident in their response to our 401(k) compliance challenges, where they offered no satisfactory solutions and essentially shrugged off their responsibilities. We have given Dayforce several opportunities to rectify their errors, despite our profoundly disappointing experience. Even external stakeholders collaborating with us have expressed sheer astonishment at the abysmal quality of the system, citing unprecedented dissatisfaction in their professional interactions with other clients. Dayforce's performance has been deeply unsatisfactory, characterized by consistent lapses in competence and professionalism, leaving our organization in a state of perpetual frustration and disappointment as we face unresolved issues that directly impact our functionality and productivity.

The audit features in the system highlight issues that should be looked at more closely before committing the pay. I like the export feature within the payroll process and use it to complete most analyses needed. Cons Other than standard reports, I feel that creating specialized reports has too many complications. I also think that adding/editing the General Ledger setup is too complex. Switched from I don’t know. Review Source Maria Jose G. Director, Product Partnerships Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Dayforce enhances the ability to improve customer projects" October 11, 2023 5.0 We needed a performance management tool to manage compensation, human resources, time and attendance, and this year we will begin using Dayforce for these purposes. Because the company has many locations and a diverse range of user skills, Dayforce is simple for employees to use and understand. HR and payroll administrators are comfortable using it for their daily tasks. Dayforce aims to improve the quality of its system for users and the experience they have. Updates are constantly being made to incorporate new features and enhancements, as well as troubleshooting. The operational Dayforce tasks that you have the ability to perform normally are those that you choose to launch; if they are not beneficial to the tasks you have, you may want to leave most of the tasks turned off. Pros The moment I have a complication, my support point deals with it correctly and with great accuracy. Dayforce offers a lot of training by video or under the guidance of a professional. These are very helpful to go back over or in case I want to run a new feature. Features are constantly being updated and enhancements added to features; some of which are user suggestions. We do not turn to IT services for assistance with Dayforce; any complications are handled by myself, the HRIS administrator, and assistance with Dayforce as needed. Cons There are some complications with custom reporting; in general, if they require a modification, such as adding a field, there is likely to be a fee to do so. Review Source RS Robert S. Payroll Analyst Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "This is a great product" November 13, 2024 5.0 I use Dayforce HCM everyday. Navigation between the different pages is seamless. Pros It is easy to use. Customer support is excellent. The software has little to no flaws. Cons Report building is probably the only thing that is hard to do. Review Source Human Resources Generalist Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Dayforce makes user experience, reporting, and payroll processing easy" September 13, 2023 4.0 Dayforce's ongoing calculating options and support for large payroll batches are invaluable. I am relieved to have the ability to provide timely salary spending reports to upper management. Pros In addition to the system's features, I appreciate Ceridian's helpful staff and customer service. Ceridian has clearly given careful consideration to the full scope of the employee experience, as evidenced by the cohesiveness of its many modules. The fact that they interact with one another is a plus. Cons I wish I had been given more background or forewarning about the actual process of implementation. It's a real slog, and I didn't feel ready for it with the resources at my disposal. If I'd realized it was going to be such a slog, I would have made more of an effort to get ready. Switched from [Rippling](https://www.capterra.com/p/172127/Rippling/)[Salesforce Sales Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/61368/Salesforce/) The fact that Dayforce keeps all of my most important work in one place is a major time saver. What I need is easy to locate, and I don't even need help getting started. Review Source Director of Payroll Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Dayforce - a very intuitive sytem." September 24, 2024 5.0 Transitioning from an in-house system to Dayforce is the best decision we ever made. Although implementation during covid was rough, and going live, we still have many policies not correctly configured. But after 3 years of using dayforce, I was able to modify some entitlement policies, pay policies that were not working properly. I do not have a computer programming background but the dayforce is so intuitive that I was able to do so. Pros The dayforce system is very intuitive. The continues calculation is a hot seller for me. Cons Initially reporting is the feature I liked least but once I'm getting the hang of it, it's not too bad. Alternatives considered [UKG Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/480/UKG-Pro/) Reasons for choosing Dayforce Continuous calculation, dayforce reps were very forthcoming during initial review of our needs. Review Source Angelica E. HR Generalist- Benefits Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "INSIGHTS2023 Review of importance of HCM" October 16, 2023 4.0 I realized the new enrollment for web and mobile is what I have been looking for. Open enrollment doesn't have to be boring and with the new platform it captures employees eyes and keeps them engaged. Pros The 1 on 1 meetings with the Dayforce reps onsight allowed me to quickly find a resolution to my OE 2024. I felt like a big weight was lifted when \[sensitive content hidden\] assisted me with my issues. Cons I would like to see a way to copy an enrollment in the test environment to production once it has been tested. Review Source Melinda W. Corporate Compensation, Payroll and Benefits Manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Dayforce HCM" August 10, 2023 5.0 I love the software platform. I was the project leader during implementation and have been the Administrator since. This is in addition to the Payroll Manager, Benefits Manager, Leave of Absence Administrator and Entitlements Manager. I could not do all of this if the software was exceptional. Pros Dayforce is fully integrated and offers real-time data. The features are easy to use and understand. There is full transparency for both managers and employees. There is a full arsenal of reporting and dashboard options so downloading information is easy. While customization costs, it is an effective way to ensure that the look and feel convey your environment. Cons Any changes needed to your set up result in very high priced change orders, even when the change requested is because of Ceridian issue. The service time for these change projects can sometimes be in excess of 6 months. Switched from [ADP Workforce Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/155895/WorkforceNow/) Cost played a big part of it. But mostly it was the integration. With ADP everything was modular and relied on uploads from one module to another. With Dayforce, the integration is seamless. Review Source HR/Benefits Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Dayforce Review" September 25, 2023 4.0 Overall I enjoy using Dayforce HCM. I do a lot of the set up for our organization and finding the direction/guidance needed using the Dayforce support system is very helpful. I also use the people feature on a daily basis as well as benefits. The product evolves with the times and is constantly being upgrading with new features. Pros Dayforce has an ease of use, moving around the different functions available in the people feature such as Work, Personal, Employment, Payroll, everything you need is at your fingertips Cons Reports can be difficult to build and sometimes getting the exact information you need all in one report can be cumbersome. Reasons for choosing Dayforce Because we were already using the Ceridian product it made sense to go with the Ceridian Dayforce Review Source executive director Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "We use Dayforce for all our payroll activities. " August 7, 2023 5.0 Our entire organization has been using Dayforce now for several years. It is user friendly and can be learned quickly even by our employees who are not very tech savvy. Pros Dayforce is a "one for all" program that handles all of our workforce time tracking and scheduling needs. Cons I have found that management approvals through the app are not quite as easy as they are online. Switched from [ADP Workforce Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/155895/WorkforceNow/) Dayforce had more features and was easier for the end user to navigate. Alternatives considered [ADP Workforce Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/155895/WorkforceNow/) Reasons for choosing Dayforce Dayforce is much easier for our employees to use and to learn. It also has more areas we can customize to meet our payroll needs. Review Source MR Melissa R. Director of Compensation Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Why choose Dayforce?" October 8, 2023 5.0 Overall, Dayforce has been able to meet our needs and our support team is always available when questions come up. Our TAM has made the transition to Dayforce as well as our day to day issues n opportunity to learn and resolve instead of pain points that frustrate us. Pros Dayforce is as close to one stop shopping as we could find and still be able to meet our needs. Having so much data in one spot allows for powerful reporting. Cons If Dayforce had an internal ability to electronically sign documents it would be so much easier to set up and maintain onboarding documents. Switched from We were previous Ceridian Source customers and left due to ACA needs, but were unhappy with support at ADP and happy to return to Dayforce. Review Source Director, HR Systems & Operations Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Creating a partnership for the 21st century and beyond!" June 9, 2023 5.0 For the first time, we are able to provide our Executive team an HR Scorecard with data that is trusted. Because the system is fully integrated each process can feed the next. For example, Salary Planning is completed after performance reviews. The performance ratings pull into the compensation planning feature, which when completed and approved, get posted to payroll without human intervention or possibility of data entry errors. When errors affect employee data and pay, we are not providing the best employee experience. This system mitigated the risk of errors with the ability to integrate so many of our HR processes. Pros We came from an environment that used 7 different systems and did not integrate well. Dayforce's fully integrated HRMS has made a wolrd of difference within our organization. Not only has it alleviated administrative burden on HR, but our managers have more information at their fingertips that allows them to make sound decisions and perform efficiently. Cons I can't say that there is a feature that I like least. We implemented the full suite (minus benefit administration) at the same time, so there is definitely a learning curve when configuring that many modules at the same time. In fact, there are modules that we are still learning the full capabilities of and have yet to fully maximize every aspect of this system. Switched from Our previous system(s) were hindering our organizational growth and competitiveness. We were not able to support our organizational growth strategy. Time was of the essence to make a change. Ceridian Dayforce has proven to be a formidable system that has allowed us to pivot and successfully acquire 4 separate companies in a relatively short period of time. Reasons for choosing Dayforce Dayforce HCM provided a more robust system than their competitor; additionally, Dayforce HCM was rated higher in system security and data protection. Dayforce HCM outperformed the competition throughout the due diligence process and partnered to with us to ensure that we had all of the information necessary to make the right choice. Dayforce HCM has and continue to change the way in which we work for the better each and every day.

Pros I like that the system is very intuitive and has many modules that we use and connect. We used Dayforce for payroll, benefits, recruiting, performance, compensation, and so on. The system is very user friendly and easy to use. We also use Dayforce Wallet which is the on demand pay feature and is a huge sucess with our employees. Cons We struggle occasionally with bugs within certain modules, specifically recruiting. When this happens it's very hard to complete tasks.

November 13, 2024 4.0 I like the system a lot, but it is so extensive that it's impossible for any super user to really understand all of the granular functionality/configuration. Pros Flexibility and constant innovation. The software is intuitive but does need IT/Financial Analyst support to really have it set up well. Cons Some things that should be included in the software (basic reports) require that you pay for customization. Not a big fan of the transition from implementation to support. The hand off is very abrupt. Switched from [Paycom](https://www.capterra.com/p/130949/Paycom/) More flexibility and more control over configuration Review Source Director of HRIS, North America Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "My thoughts about Dayforce being an employee and a customer" October 5, 2023 5.0 Dayforce is a company that has very high standards for themselves, they keep continuously innovating themselves and are uphold the ideals of a company that stands by "Makes work life better" Pros Workforce Management is a very advanced module that has plenty of pay policy rules and qualifiers to ensure automated set up of CBA rules Cons Small things like having the ability to filter on pay codes in the set up screen can make a lot of difference to power users like me, but this is not a deal breaker by any means. Improvisations can be done but critical functionalities are already well established Alternatives considered [ADP Workforce Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/155895/WorkforceNow/)[Workday HCM](https://www.capterra.com/p/66908/Workday-HCM/) Reasons for choosing Dayforce Their continuous commitment to excellence and being a partner all the way Review Source Human Resources Generalist Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "I appreciate how easy it is to commit payroll using Ceridian" September 20, 2023 4.0 It's aesthetically pleasing and uncluttered. Instantaneous and efficient payroll processing. I like that it always seeks for new and better features. Many of our company's manual processes have been eliminated thanks to Ceridan Dayforce. Pros Dayforce streamlines our human resources, payroll, benefits, time tracking, recruiting, and onboarding processes, increasing productivity, profitability, and morale across the board. Cons I didn't like the reporting since you couldn't change some of it and it was all in PDF format, but they've made great strides in that direction in the three years since we started working here. V2 reporting allows for more flexibility and personalization. Switched from [UKG Ready](https://www.capterra.com/p/198579/UKG-Ready/)[ADP Workforce Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/155895/WorkforceNow/) As a result of implementing Dayforce as our HRIS, we have eliminated the need for paper records.
