Dayforce HCM

5.0 last year

Comments: 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.

Loving Dayforce

5.0 2 weeks ago New

Comments: Using Dayforce has been great. Once you go through the initial setup for the organization and workout any issues, the system really makes processing payroll easy. Dayforce is always on top of the latest trends and offers a multitude of products for businesses.

Pros:

The ease of processing and transmitting payroll.

Cons:

I would have to say building reports from scratch.

Does the job

4.0 last month New

Comments: Generally positive. It's niche for certain industries, US or Canada are great.

Pros:

Effective and customizable US timetracking, labor cost features, balance tracking, and payroll processing.

Cons:

Recruiting/Candidate functions are clunky and not fully integrated in a meaningful way. Forms/workflows require a lot of expertise and trial/error. Majority countries in APAC are not 'native' payroll engines, so there's a lot of rules and parameters, not a lot of flexibility or automation without some out-of-system workarounds.

The recruiting module could use some overall improvement.
