Dayforce HCM Review

PROS: All-in-one system, cloud-based... we used to be 90% paper-based and once we moved to Dayforce HCM for our HRIS, payroll, Scheduling and recruiting needs we are less than 10% paper-based.

CONS: They are moving away from using Silverlight and switching the modules within the system to HTML. I like Silverlight and felt like the system was fast and efficient. With HTML is seems a little bit slower but I am hoping this will change once the whole system is on HTML and off of Silverlight.

PROS: Being an administrator for quite some time, I give this app a perfect score. Whether it's from payroll to recruitment to time management, navigating easily between one function to another is what I favor the most. It doesn't take me long to answer concerns/needs when an employee is having issues with their earnings or checking hours.

CONS: With an overwhelming number of features available, it's easy to get lost or lose track in accomplishing a specific task.

PROS: This application is highly efficienet and easy to operate. Depending on the your company's set-up, you can seamlessly input your time either weekly or daily. It does a good job in keeping track of your PTO amount. It's simple enough to move back, sift through paychecks, and hand out requests for time off.

CONS: At times, profile entries can be difficult to correct or revise. Aside from that, it's an awesome tool for a majority of your payroll demands. All data you need can be seen at a glance. I think this is the most efficient and accurate approach in managing the time and payroll of your organization.

PROS: Everything is in one platform, self-service, paperless, could based, intuitive, and easy to navigate.

CONS: Their support team could be a little faster at responding.

PROS: Navigating around the system has been nothing but excellent. Available views for viewing your day at one glance is considered a big help since they let you decide between visualizing and perceptualizing.

CONS: With this build, I used it with Aeropostale and it led to things being buggy. It's obvious that something is working and changing. Other than that, I had a good time working with the system without any major issues or whatsoever.

PROS: We used a lot of paper which would get lost on desks a lot of times. With Ceridian Dayforce we now have everything electronic and no lost papers.

CONS: At this time I don't see any problematic items

PROS: Everything including employee data, schedule, attendance, and time management are all in this application! Any system capable of integrating data pieces while having tracking capability is a huge saver for me in terms of productivity.

CONS: Looking into a single week can be annoying especially if you happen to be within a scheduler roll or seeking to create behavior patterns relating to punch activity. There's way too much data that you'll need to keep in mind which acitivity it is you're aiming to accomplish.

PROS: I like how it functions as a standalone cloud-based app and how data can be seen in real-time. There's no longer a need for importing or exporting data. A test environment is available for testing out new policies, deduction codes, and a host of others.

CONS: Going through the reporting module is a big challenge. It's a bit difficult to see a topic containing data you're supposed to find. This particular module has been updated dramatically to 8.5. Within the latest version, making reports is simpler and with additional functionality.

PROS: Its modern UI makes everyting simple to browse and navigate. There are plenty of pathways that get you where you really want to go. Customizations are simple, making it very convenient to only see modules you utilize regularly.

CONS: There have been some issues in terms of usability. Sometimes, things tend to get pushed off the screen especially when dealing with varying monitor sizes. Layout doesn't seem to be responsive at all.

PROS: Dayforce is truly an integrated system. 1 person 1 record. Being able to see information in real time is an real advantage. It has allowed for customizations of our ever changing structure. The customer services is fantastic.

CONS: I really do not have any real complaints. Have had a few problems with a project going on too long, beyond the estimated time frame, but that was not 100% Ceridian's fault.

PROS: Dayforce is truly an integrated system. It has allowed for changes and custmizations of our ever changing org structure. The customer services is fantastic. The product is constantly improving and they seriously take into account customer feedback.

CONS: We have had a few issues around shift transfers and with all the updates sometimes it's difficult to keep our training materials up to date.

PROS: The all-in-one platform. Single sign-on, integration of reporting, ease of creating roles/security levels.

CONS: When setting up new pay policies, it is not always intuitive to know where to start, what to pick, etc.

PROS: * Ease of use * Customer Support * Cost savings over our last system * Implementation process

CONS: The transition from Silverlight to HTML. It is taking time which is understandable.

PROS: A single engine that drives all our HR processed from timekeeping and attendance, through HR, benefits, recruiting, onboarding, payroll and more. It's fully integrated and seamless.

CONS: Reporting is sometimes complicated to use - but generally it's a very powerful piece of software.

PROS: Ease of use, access to data, robust reporting features.

CONS: Helpdesk tickets sometimes take a long time to get resolved.

PROS: The total integration and real time is a time saver.

CONS: The amount of time it takes to load the program and/or switch to different modules.

PROS: Dayforce is very intuitive and easy for our end users to use. Most of our employees never used any electronic HR/Payroll software before. Dayforce is definitely very user friendly for first time employees experiencing HR/Payroll software. Our employees look at their pay stubs, change their address, tax forms, phone number, email address, direct deposit, receive their performance reviews, apply for other open positions through Dayforce. One of my favorite features is the total compensation statement. Dayforce has a total compensation statement with graphics so the employee can appreciate the "hidden paycheck" costs the employer spends on them.

CONS: Dayforce is continually enhancing the product, they truly want to hear from the users on what makes our work life better and if possible, then implement it. I truly appreciate the enhancements to the recruiting module and look forward to continue enhancements in this area.

PROS: The payroll function is very intuitive. It’s easy to get through and the canned audit reports are very useful. Timesheets and auditing is simple as well. It’s not rocket science when training in new employees and managers.

CONS: The reporting features needs a lot of work. If you need a specific report and want to customize, you will get errors and not fixable. You’ll literally have to pay for every report you need that is not a canned report.

PROS: Easy to navigate, calculates stat holiday pay automatically

CONS: Does not calculate retro pay for salaried employees automatically.

PROS: We purchased the complete package, time & attendance, payroll, benefits, recruiting, on boarding, performance management, & document management. WE love the complete HR software access to their fingertips.

CONS: Disappointed dayforce does not offer a "company info" page.

PROS: Dayforce makes it convenient and simple for the end user. It's highly intuitive. As a result, we were able to increase self-service overuse. I love how the sandbox is able to replicate our current production environment. This leads to simpler troubleshooting and testing.

CONS: I feel Dayforce needs to concentrate and improve on their reporting tool. If they're able to deal with that, then I'm pretty sure they'll do better even more.

PROS: It's able to make data transparent across our management circle. With a plethora of needs, aims, and locations, we were able to operate efficiently looking into our company data through single reports. Managers have reported staff enjoying using smartphones/tablets in accessing their benefits, pay, and work hours. Managers can conveniently review staff working hours and time within the pay period.

CONS: The aspect of reporting could've gone a lot better. Its help desk could use soem efficiently when it comes to dealing with user inquiries and concerns.

PROS: The thing that I like with Dayforce is how surprisingly easy it is to operate after logging in for the first time. Coming from an organization that lack the mobile app for vacation time management, handling benefits, etc.., having this app on my smartphone is an added bonus!

CONS: The only issue that I could ever think of with this application is restting the password. I literally had to reach out to the administrator to help me out (I found this annoying) in an age where everyone has a bunch of passwords in tow.

PROS: This app offered me so many upsides. Their customer service is quick and responsive. The app on its own is fun to work wih since it makes everything productive and efficient. It also offers a number of options for you to work with.

CONS: There's really nothing much to mention when it comes to Dayforce's downside. A majority of the steps within the project is strictly followed and on schedule. If there's one thing that needs some attention is the app's management. Currently, we're within the planning phase in migrating and re-managing resources. Any changes could potential put the project at risk.
