Reviews of Dayforce HCM
Optimizing human capital management with Dayforce
Comments: My experience with Dayforce HCM has been positive. It has improved the efficiency and effectiveness of our HR procedures by cutting down on manual work. The centralized design of the platform improves HR's ability to work with staff.
Pros:
Dayforce HCM is an all-inclusive system that does an excellent job of integrating different HR processes. Payroll, time and attendance, benefits administration, and labor management are all efficiently managed by the centralized system.
Cons:
The system is powerful, but it takes some time to get it up and running for the first time. The implementation time might be cut in half with better onboarding materials.
Easiest platform to use to manage employment documentation
Comments: It has been great so far for part time jobs to manage schedules and payment information. The days of having paper documentation and clock in/out are gone.
Pros:
Seamless platform to manage employment information. Easy to access and update schedule, tax forms and payment information. Shifts management in part time jobs is also a plus as you can easily switch with colleagues.
Cons:
Clock in and out option should be more easy to access as it is actually hidden inside the settings and not as a quick access button.
Good app for statements
Comments: My experience was satisfactory, it does the work of pay stubs and forms. The UI and UX can be better.
Pros:
The pay stubs were elaborative, about hours, overtime, stat pays and the net pay percentage etc.
Cons:
It logs me out of the app now and then. But I have used it for more than a year, it does a decent job.
Alternatives Considered:
Good HCM Platform Overall
Comments: I had never used Dayforce as an end user prior to taking my current role as the Dayforce Administrator and there have definitely been more "good days" than "bad" with implementing and learning the entire platform.
Pros:
Dayforce is a robust system overall. I have only been using as an administrator for seven months and was able to quickly learn and become an SME is many different areas across the platform.
Cons:
WE have 5 separate business entities all under our one Dayforce platform and there are many config settings that are global, which creates issues for us when trying to customize to each entity.
Top HRCM System
Comments: Happy customer. Once you learn how to use the system the things you can do are endless. Custom reporting and form workflows has been a big help this year.
Pros:
Workflows and HR management system is one of the best I've used.
Cons:
Support can take a bit of time. Experience level of reps varies widely.
Great HR solution for time, vacation monitoring and payroll
Pros:
Ease of use, everything is neatly labeled, and tailored for the customer. In Poland we have many rules where it comes to vacation, sick leaves and overtime pay etc etc. Clocking in and out is fast and reliable so there is no stress when you enter your work - as it should be. Dayforce also offers nice PoE Android tablets for clock in and clock out with physical RFID tag, very neat solution with simple WebGUI for users and HR
Cons:
I've been using it daily for almost 3 years now, and haven't had any major issues :)
This is a great product
Comments: 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.
Day force Time
Comments: For the most part I really like it and the accuracy.
Pros:
Ease of clocking in and authorizing my time.
Cons:
Receiving code in order to proceed can take a moment, at time
All in one
Pros:
Dayforce allows us to house all HR, Payroll, and Benefit information in one place. It offers fun features like HUB, and TeamRelate.
Cons:
Our industry is complex and team members have many different jobs. Work assignments in Dayforce can be difficult to work with given our complex circumstances.
Good reporting elements
Comments: Overall, Dayforce was a highly efficient tool for tracking and analyzing workforce data. It effectively managed various aspects of staff attendance and shift organisation, contributing to a smoother reporting process.
Pros:
What I liked most about Dayforce was its ability to streamline attendance tracking and provide detailed reports on staffing metrics. It made monitoring punctuality and shift patterns straightforward, improving overall workforce management. The role I held when using Dayforce was using the data for a reporting perspective and I found it easy and simple.
Cons:
The thing I liked least about Dayforce was the interface. It sometimes felt a bit cluttered, requiring extra steps to access certain data points, which could slow down the reporting process.
Alternatives Considered:
My thoughts about Dayforce being an employee and a customer
Comments: 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:
Complete and comprehensive HRIS
Comments: It is overall very user friendly. I think Ceridian listens to their customers and is heading in the right direction.
Pros:
The integration with Microsoft O365 makes IT happy, while the thoughtfulness pleases HR and Finance staff.
Cons:
It should s starting to get pricey because of all the modules.
Good product with a promising future.
Comments: Overall positive experience with Dayforce. The platform allows us to configure changes as needed without the ability to rely on Dayforce support. Dayforce Tax could use some improvement.
Pros:
The ability to configure changes within the application for our organization.
Cons:
Dayforce Tax Services does a poor job of partnering with clients. The system does not naturally respect tax jurisdiction reciprocity rules.
Dayforce- Helps all your People Needs
Pros:
Dayforce has all the solutions you need to manage your workforce and keep them engaged. From the core services such as payroll and benefits, to a slew of talent modules to help with recruiting, onboarding, and much more.
Cons:
Dayforce can be very technical if you want to keep things customized to your company. So having someone on the technical side in your company, managing and maintain configurations may be needed.
Dayforce Review
Pros:
Dayforce has many great features. The HUB is a great new additional in the last 2 years. It provides a great place to house important information easily. Onboarding is really nice and streamlined. It is easy to navigate and set up. If you have the Onboarding HUB, visibly it provides a new start to the candidate experience. I have worked with the Performance and Compensation module the last 3 years and it has a lot of neat functionality and pretty easy to navigate.
Cons:
Dayforce is very technical. It is nice to know you can build customize forms but not coming from an IT background, trying to learn SQL has been a challenge. There are a lot of nice reports but it is very challenging to set up certain reports utilizing custom fields. Dayforce is constantly enhancing their products but continually to have to pay for each new enhancement the majority of the time is challenging especially coming from a Non-Profit world when we already utilize most of the system.
Empowering System
Comments: Overall, I believe Dayforce works well for our business. It has been key in propelling us forward and empowering our managers to have accountability and oversight of key information.
Pros:
The self service and ease of use. That integration with other platforms is possible, however a lot of HRIS needs as catered to through Dayforce itself.
Cons:
There are a lot of nuances to each individual business and sometimes this cant be catered to. If it is possible, then it usually comes with additional cost to the business.
Dayforce, make sure you have the right partner
Comments: Love it for payroll but hate updating things.
Pros:
I love the possibilities of Dayforce. If you have the right partner, you can literally have it do whatever you want.
Cons:
I dislike the way our system was built from implementation. It's basically a spiderweb behind the scenes.
Excellent Overall Product
Pros:
Dayforce is an entirely capable product with excellent module flexibility and capability. Dayforce also gives the user ownership and control to customize the product as they prefer for their organization.
Cons:
The recruiting module could use some overall improvement.
Six Years with Dayforce
Pros:
The routine basics of setting up payroll including any adjustments for each pay period works smoothly. 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.
Dayforce Review
Comments: Overall Dayforce is a user-friendly system and helps maintain accurate and up to date information.
Pros:
Dayforce makes it easy to maintain accurate employee information. It also provides easy avenues of two-way communication between the company and its employees.
Cons:
There is still some functionality that it is missing, though they are constantly working to improve in those areas.
Pros: Features and Functionality Cons: Support
Comments: We are reasonably happy. When we don't need to engage Ceridian's support team, we would likely describe our experience as very positive. It's unfortunate that the support organization and their customer experience is not stronger.
Pros:
Integrated modules across the HR suite, consistent logic and functionality for people managers and staff
Cons:
Support has been inconsistent at best and frequently frustrating to the point its impacted HR team credibility.
Ceridian formulates our entire workforce
Comments: Dayforce WFM extends across the entire institution. It is our primary workforce management (WPM) tool, encompassing attendance in all its aspects: hourly employees identify their income through biological clocks; contract employees use the web clock function to account for their working time; all employees use the Time Away From Work (TAFW) function to submit leave requests. It is also used by human resources and payroll departments to manage time worked and paid time off.
Pros:
I attended the new Dayforce FIT meeting as part of this year's Insights conference. You have significantly increased your ability to make changes to your product layout without the need to open many support tickets, this translates into significant savings. The attendance subsystem has decreased the amount of supplementary manual documents, such as spreadsheets, and has additionally gifted supervisors with an aid to observe the sum of points in real time, rather than waiting for a report to be finished and distributed in the week or month. We have 6 different handles, each with a different pay period end time and a different number of payments. Dayforce is able to accommodate different varieties without any drawbacks.
Cons:
The TAFW shard does not yet offer the ability to restrict the login of those who are not exempt to be able to perform tasks for their own interest. I would love to see Dayforce incorporate an FMLA add-on. Most of the information regarding specific tracking is already within the system. We conclude that it is better to continue with the written procedure or find a stand-alone program to assist with the complicated administration.
A very solid platform
Pros:
I like that Dayforce keeps everything in our data base so it is very easy to retrieve data for auditing and reporting purposes
Cons:
It is becoming quite expense. There are some issues with support, everything becomes chargeable.
Dayforce HCM
Comments: Dayforce is a great tool overall as its integrates various HR functions.
Pros:
Unified platform for managing various HR functions reducing the need for separate systems and improving data accuracy
Cons:
Complex implementation process, lack of training for new users and high cost.
