Regional Sales Support Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good intention, but poor execution" March 18, 2021 4.0 I like our older system, TimeForce by Qquest much better. It was much more user friendly. Pros This product attempts to gather all HR themed items in one location. That is beneficial. Timesheets, schedules, pay stubs, benefits, etc. Cons Much of the software appears outdated. Organization is at a minimal, it's like they kept adding things and never organized it well. Locations for certain aspects are all over the place, and rarely makes sense where to find. Forms are not very clear. Training videos are outdated and show clearly older versions of the software. Work Schedules for my employees are never correct, I then correct it, but it keeps going back to incorrect schedule data, so I just ignore it and figure my employees know when they are working. For my employees, the clock-in, clock-out time sheets are horrible, it shows them nothing in regards to when they clocked in, when they clocked out, and how about a running total for hours for the week?...forget about it. From a manager stand-point, viewing my employees time sheets isn't good, as it doesn't total worked hours from time off hours to holiday hours, etc....so I always have to manually add up their hours to make sure correct. Lots of time wasted... Review Source sK samia K. Administrative Assistant Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Dayforce Review" August 28, 2023 5.0 Pros The fact that its very comprehensive tool when it comes to HR side of hiring. I can see the earnings and pay stubs and even yearly earning and hours. Also deposits come on Friday but we can see our pay stubs a day before in DF which can give us some time to review the hours and other details. Cons Recruitment aspect is a little complicated or i am still learning thats why i think it can be a little more user friendly Review Source LC Lucy C. President of Sales. Cosmetics Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "All in one dashboard,get to experience the best with Dayforce HCM, it's the best." March 4, 2024 5.0 Working is much easier and fun.Its performance sparkled our work and we can see it's reflection on our sales. We are glad to say that we are working with the best. Pros It's reliability and the ease of use made it the number one choice for us . payroll,tracking, onboarding all in one dashboard no more struggles.They have a jubilant spirit of customer service,they are always willing to go for extra miles to sustain their users needs. Cons No major challenges working with this incredible software. Review Source IB Iuliana B. US Payroll Specialist Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dayforce " October 12, 2023 4.0 Pros Is easy to use and I like a lot the connectivity between different modules Cons The customer service is very slow to answer Alternatives considered [ADP Workforce Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/155895/WorkforceNow/) Reason for choosing Dayforce HCM Better offer Review Source jP josh P. Head of Sales and Marketing Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great software, would like to be able to do more on the app." November 22, 2022 4.0 Pros The product is easy to use and allows me to remotely manage most aspects of HR via the online website. I can easily check and edit timesheets, rotas and shifts and manage my team efficiently via Dayforce HCM. Cons I would like to be able to use more features on the mobile app rather than desktop only. For example- the ability to approve holidays and edit timesheets via the app rather than having to do this via desktop. Review Source SB Shannon B. Systems Analyst Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dayforce" October 3, 2023 4.0 for us, it allows standardization of many processes for many separate locations. And having multiple pieces of information attached to a single employee profile is useful. Pros We quite like Period Review - probably our current favourite. Allows us to highlight things we need managers to pay attention to. Other than that, we do like that it is quite customizable - even though sometimes it takes a lot of research / investigation to find. Cons Forms and reporting are hard to customize - having to write code isn’t particularly easy for non programmers Reason for choosing Dayforce HCM Time and attendance and payroll on the same platform Review Source JW Jock W. Chief Financial Officer Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dayforce the future of employee services " October 20, 2023 5.0 Grrrreat! Pros The Reports are very good and the product is easy to navigate. Cons Calling for support is a task. It is hard to get through when you are at a critical moment. Alternatives considered [KronoDesk](https://www.capterra.com/p/222536/KronoDesk/) Reason for choosing Dayforce HCM Because they could demo out nurses time would calculate correctly. Switched from [Sage HCM](https://www.capterra.com/p/38692/Criterion-HCM/) Criterion caused a lot of payroll issues. Review Source RJ Robbin J. Payroll/ people specialist Sports Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The best system" October 5, 2023 5.0 Pros I love how customizable it is. The product has allowed us to remove other systems,again, allowing us to centralize our day to day work systems. Cons I do not have a least or unfavorable comment about Dayforce Switched from [ADP Workforce Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/155895/WorkforceNow/) ADP is not the best when it comes to customizable features. Review Source MT MariBeth T. Accounting/HR System Analyst Paper & Forest Products Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Dayforce HCM Review" October 23, 2019 4.0 We have been able to become more paperless with Dayforce. For the most part, payroll processes correctly each pay period. Open Enrollment saved lots of time and paper and the employees seemed to really like the process. I think as we learn to use all of the functionality of the system, we will find more benefits and cost-savings. We are just disappointed that we did not get this information/recommendations from our implementation team. And the fact that modules that should have been live and working properly at the time of implementation are still not functional has been extremely frustrating. Our HR Admins are doing more work now, than they did before implementing Dayforce , where Attendance Management is concerned. Pros The system has lots of flexibility and functionality - unfortunately our implementation did not go very well (we are still working on it over a year after going live) so I don't believe we are using the system to its full capacity. The user experience is really friendly. Our current employees and onboarding employees like the system. Cons It seems that the implementation team wants to cut you off long before the system is running as expected. It's wonderful that Ceridian is working on so many great, new, cutting-edge options but our users (PR/HRAdmins, Managers) just want the current functionality to work properly. We are still submitting lots of tickets to support on a weekly basis and we have found the quality of support to be herky-jerky. Some of the reps are really good and others seem to just want to get the case off their plate without full resolution of the issue. Reason for choosing Dayforce HCM It was less expensive than Workday and thought the value would offset the functionality. Review Source LM Lynda M. Payroll Manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "DF Review" October 2, 2023 3.0 We are still learning and continue to perfect our needs and our abilities. Pros EE's can share legal entities, ease of moving employees, international component Cons Support, benefits and payroll cannot talk to one another for reporting purposes!! Crazy!! Alternatives considered [UKG Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/480/UKG-Pro/) Reason for choosing Dayforce HCM We voted on the best option for our needs Switched from [Paychex Flex](https://www.capterra.com/p/119841/Paychex-Flex/)[Danløn](https://www.capterra.com/p/10013547/Danlon/) International component, flexibility, scalable Review Source TK Tara K. Accounting and Payroll Officer Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Useful Tool " June 21, 2023 5.0 Good Pros The ease of the program, and the confidence the system is working. Cons The reports can be complicated, and sometimes setting up things costs money instead to provide us better instructions to implement modules or features ourselves. Review Source JW Jocelyn W. Chief People Officer Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "General " October 2, 2023 4.0 Pros How Ceridian is integrating all pieces to develop and understand how employers can access and analyze the information to make well informed business decisions and get insight into the wellbeing of our workforce. Cons We are behind on learning the technology. Once you are behind, it is a challenge to get caught up. The online and community resources are great but not having the dedicated CSM to reach out to is a resource we miss greatly. They were key previously in helping fill in some gaps. Review Source CK Carrie K. Payroll & HR Manager Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ceridian meets our needs" June 7, 2023 4.0 It has been a time-saver for us, I feel that there should be some kind of mechanism in place for employers (especially those that started in the beginning of Dayforce) to have their systems reviewed by someone at Ceridian. I feel that our "set up" could have (and would have) been handled differently if we had waited a couple of years to implement. Pros We are very happy with the ability to manage payroll and HR functions for both our Canadian and US entities in one place. Cons Still struggle with reporting (although it has been better with the newer system upgrades). Review Source AS Ann S. Director Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Overall pros and cons of Dayforce" December 4, 2023 5.0 Overall DayForce is a great product. We have flexibility with many aspects to tailor our needs. Pros its one system and less log ins. our team members love the scheduling and PTO Cons As an administrator, we need more audits screens to show who was the last editor of the data. Reason for choosing Dayforce HCM Dayforce was at the client prior to joining Review Source AK April K. HRIS Coordinator Defense & Space Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Variety of Options" October 5, 2023 4.0 My overall experience is very good with Ceridian! Pros I really like that there are several options and different modules to use. When one system is used for several different purposes it makes use easier. Cons Sometimes it takes a while for Ceridian service to correct issues. Reason for choosing Dayforce HCM I was not in the decision making process, but I am sure it was a combination of cost, history, product compatibility. Review Source SS Stephen S. Sr. HRIS Administrator Warehousing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "With a deep look into your policies and practicies, its a dream!" October 17, 2018 5.0 Would not look at another product, too god, and adding too many new features to want anything else! Pros User friendly interface, one database, wide variety of options and capabilities. Cons The time it takes to correct some TFS tickets Review Source VR Verified Reviewer HRIS Analyst Restaurants Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ceridian Dayforce" October 2, 2023 5.0 Pros I have been using Dayforce for about four years and I have experience with WFM, Payroll, Recruiting, People, Onboarding, and Benefits. It is a great one -stop solution for all your HR needs. It is easy to use and we have received great feedback on all modules. Cons I do wish support was faster at responding. Sometimes it can take a few months to process file changes. Review Source ER Elisa R. Finance/Payroll/Benefits Administrator Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dayforce HCM is an excellent HR, Payroll, Workforce Management Software" March 28, 2023 5.0 Pros Dayforce HCM is a reliable software and easy to use. Having payroll, HR, onboarding, benefits, attendance, and much more combined in one software is significant. Dayforce HCM meets our needs. Cons The benefits module is what I like least about Dayforce HCM. It can be finicky at times. Reason for choosing Dayforce HCM Dayforce HCM met our needs. Switched from [Dayforce Powerpay](https://www.capterra.com/p/198964/Dayforce-Powerpay/) We switched to Dayforce HCM because we wanted to track attendance and have payroll all in one software. Review Source June F. HRIS Specialist Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dayforce - one stop HR shop!" February 17, 2023 4.0 Lately, I would say our overall experience has been positive. Having a good understanding of the backend is crucial to being able to troubleshoot problems before involving support. Pros As we keep adding modules we are finding we like it more and more. Having more processes and data in the system gives us so many more opportunities to discover and gain efficiencies across the HR team. Cons Admittedly, our initial go live was a disaster, but it gave us a good opportunity to dive into the back-end and really learn how the system works, and how decisions and processes in one area of the system can have positive (and negative) consequences in other areas of the system. Review Source GM Gina M. Payroll Specialist Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "2 year user" October 13, 2023 4.0 Pros It is easy to use. I wasn’t a part of the integration. Cons Reporting could be improved, it is cumbersome to create new reports. Review Source SL Surjit L. Snr. HR Partner Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dayforce Review" December 12, 2023 4.0 Overall, good experience. Continuous improvements to all modules. Pros All in one complete HR & Payroll System. One central database feeds into all modules Cons Some features still need to be developed, they have a AHA portal for ideas, some can take a long time to approve and implement Switched from [PGi](https://www.capterra.com/p/208952/PGi/) PGI had very limited functionality, primarily payroll and very clunky. Did not have all the modules Dayforce does. Review Source SK Samuel K. Consultant Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Phenomenal Human Resources Software, Highly Recommended!" October 10, 2021 5.0 My overall experience with Dayforce HCM has been great. It took me only a couple of minutes to set up my payroll administration preferences, my benefit preferences, as well as several other aspects of the on-boarding experience which employers typically ask of their new employees. I have not experienced any issues thus far in using Dayforce HCM, and I have been using it for quite a while now. Pros There are multiple things that I enjoy about Dayforce HCM, some of which include the ability to simply and efficiently administer payroll information such that employees would be able to enter their personal bank account information, how they would like their pay distributed among multiple bank accounts, if applicable. I also very much like the simplicity of the user interface when dealing with benefit administration, which can get very confusing with other HR softwares, but not with Dayforce HCM. Keeping tracking of PTO is also very streamlined, as the amount of PTO available increases, or decreases, in real time. Paystubs are easily accessible, also. Lastly, customer service, whenever needed, is always happy to help and is always available to answer the call in a just a few minutes. Highly recommended. Cons The only possible aspect that I can point out as a negative when it comes to Dayforce HCM is its pricing brackets. Compared to other HR services, the price is a bit more expensive, which may become an obstacle for some, but when considering the value of the service you would be getting, I feel it is well worth it. Outside of the potential pricing barrier, I honestly have nothing else to point out as a negative, as the service does everything it promises to be able to do, and efficiently.

Pros The employee self serve options are easy to use and provide managers information they need to manage employees Cons Security model inflexible. No audit trail on system admin areas. Limiting access though location access or direct manager. Review Source KR Kimberly R. Client Service Representative Veterinary Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great HR Feature " August 12, 2022 5.0 Pros That I can track my time punches from anywhere and make notes for adjustments. Can easily track time off accrued and request time off Cons Approves time off doesn't prevent management from scheduling if missed Review Source DE Dellanne E. Lead Payroll Administrator Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dayforce HCM Review" May 29, 2024 5.0 Pros Features with-in Dayforce are easy to use and navigate around. Cons There is delay in response from Dayforce time through the Support Portal regarding tax notices being reviewed and answered.
