UKG Pro
Chose UKG Pro
When it comes to service and support, there is no comparison between UKG, Ceridian, ADP, Workday or other HCM vendors out there. The support that we have received over the previous three years has been the best I've ever experienced in my 15+ years of working in human resources …
Chose UKG Pro
UKG Pro is competitive in its pricing models but more transparent than some other products we have used. They are consistently ranked as one of the top employers in their industry and this comes across in all dealings with their employees from contract negotiations, to …
Chose UKG Pro
UKG Pro (formerly Ultimate Software UltiPro) has been more responsive to our questions than ADP. They have a phenomenal rapid response team--questions are answered quickly, which allows processing to stay on schedule. The training and education of customers is also great.
Chose UKG Pro
Ultimate is easier to use, easier to control and less expensive.
Chose UKG Pro
No comparison when it comes to Customer Service. I would not go back to ADP after using UltiPro.
Looking forward to using UP's timekeeping system now that it is linked with Kronos.
Chose UKG Pro
Payroll is key for me, and UltiPro has that sewn up as far as efficiency and accuracy. I wouldn't consider anyone else at this point and I will never go back to mainframe processing again.
Chose UKG Pro
I like UltiPro better than other programs that I have used. It may be because I know UltiPro more, but it's been better to me and my employees.
Chose UKG Pro
UltiPro has a more user-friendly version of time. It's more modern. ADP was very outdated in my opinion.
Chose UKG Pro
Namely is terrible-it couldn't manage payroll at all but its HR side and reporting are actually better than UltiPro. We switched from them because of all the errors. ADP I think would have been the better choice, but we chose the devil we knew because everyone had experience …
Chose UKG Pro
Slightly less encompassing of a full HR suite.
Chose UKG Pro
I used ADP at another company, and it was very cumbersome and not easy to make changes when needed. I find UltiPro to be much more user-friendly.
Chose UKG Pro
UP was by far a better choice. It was easy to use, looks clean, customization and had the functionality that we really needed and things that are so nice to have. We loved the report and how much it would do, the ease of payroll, and the many other areas that we have …
Chose UKG Pro
UltiPro is more cost effective and allows more flexibility in customization. The report writer is a lot more user friendly too.
Chose UKG Pro
ADP had terrible customer service. A lot of things were not automated. I felt like there was always something wrong with whatever process we were doing.
Chose UKG Pro
I think Ultipro overall is a better product. I do think as a stand-alone some of the other vendors do a better job.
Chose UKG Pro
UltiPro hands down beats all the products listed when it comes to functionality, configuration, and out of the box usability. The only area where UltiPro loses ground is the customer service area.
Chose UKG Pro
  • ADP product was not keeping up with the times and technology
  • Ceridian customer service was lacking and unable to meet our needs
  • Kronos was very robust, their service was good. The HR suite was not as strong as UltiPro, but their timekeeping was one of the better systems I have …
Chose UKG Pro
Ultipro is definitely most comparable to ADP regarding ease of use for employees and ease of use for payroll clerks. It is definitely easier to use than outdated systems, such as JD Edwards and EMPS. However, I would say its a close tie between ADP and Ultipro for simple …
Chose UKG Pro
UltiPro gives you the best "bang for your buck". It's a great product, without an exorbitant price tag. Their customer service and training options are far superior to the other vendors in my experience. UltiPro also has a strong commitment to continuous improvement of their …

ADP
It is well suited for an Outsourcing business. This type of business has a lot of clients to serve and most of the time consultants serve multiple different clients, eTime suits this kind of setup since it can aid on the accuracy of billing clients for hours rendered by consultants to them.

UKG
As a hospital with 1300 employees, we find that UKG is fully scalable and addresses all our needs with one product. UKG offers the Ready solution, which is aimed at smaller organizations. There are several different benefit solutions. Because of the other offerings, UKG products would work well for large, global organizations and smaller businesses that need automation and technology for payroll and timekeeping.

Pros
ADP
  • Ability to clock hours without a physical time clock/punchcard -- great for jobs like tutoring, which may not have a central meeting location
  • Ability to clock hours for multiple positions in different departments across an organization -- one paycheck, even though I had multiple supervisors and different pay rates

Cons
ADP
  • The setup is difficult for administers.
  • Mapping the pay rules to the accrual profiles, pay codes, etc., is hard to administer as well.
  • The consultants at ADP do not know the system well in some cases so getting help with setup and issues can be difficult.

UKG
  • Onboarding and recruiting need an environment that is more stable and dependable.
  • Core Benefits could be enhanced to allow OE and LE events via the mobile app.
  • Service and support need to be increased; days and weeks now, when we first went live, it was minutes and hours.
  • Adapting all version of time management into one or two versions, at no cost to the customer would allow the resources from UTA, UTM and WFM Classic to be directed to future enhancements and would allow support services to be increased for the 2 remaining platforms.

Usability
ADP
In some ways, the flexibility of eTime makes it much more usable than some time card systems. I can log my own hours at my convenience (as long as it is during the pay period), and eTime sends me a reminder email 24 hours before the cut-off for each pay period. I can log hours for multiple positions using particular pay codes, although there is no way for me to save frequently used or "my" pay codes -- adding this feature would be a much-appreciated improvement to eTime's usability. Juggling multiple pay codes within the current system, however, is cumbersome. There can also be problems if an incorrect or overlapping hour is accidentally entered and saved -- certain fields turn red and are difficult to adjust, often requiring the help of a software administrator. Correcting other errors and entering historical hours is extremely difficult, and the software does not work well on some browsers (and it is unattractive when I have been able to get it to work)

UKG
Mobile App: Really easy to use and its nice to have an HR software that actually has an mobile application to be able to enter time and to take care of everything with. Web App: The system is relatively easy to use with maybe a little training at the beginning if you have used another system. But the site is really easy to use and a lot better having everything under one roof

For the most part UltiPro has been reliable, but it could definitely be better. There have been several notable server issues where we were unable to access the product or unable to utilize some of the features. Customer support is usually quick to respond to questions about these issues, but they do not proactively reach out to customers whose environments have been effected by outages

Normally UKG Pro loads quickly. We had been having major issues with reports running in a timely manner but recently they broke out our virtual server to another instance where is wasn't sharing resources and that seems to have helped reporting run more efficiently.

Most of the online training was very generic (to be expected) but we had specific requirements for configuration that could have been better addressed with more individual sessions earlier on from our project team. However, we did finally begin booking training sessions with our implementation team which were recorded, and so provided additional information for how to correctly configure and test the system.

Make sure you have all of your tax account information with all the states you are registered in available and that you are knowledgeable about the filing status, frequency, etc. We had some unique challenges with our state unemployment tax set up that I was not aware of and needed to be addressed prior to going live. Working with the state unemployment office can be a challenge.

I have not used similar workforce management platform though Enterprise eTIME, by ADP has never failed us in any day. It has given our teams the best guidance on effective implementation of projects and tasks. Close monitoring of our daily programs has lead to increased production. We have managed to implement our duties based on the set timelines.

We used ADP WFN prior to switching to UKG. We interviewed three different payroll companies to see what our options were. UKG stood out and aligned with our company values. The sales team was very helpful and asked questions about what we were currently doing and how they could assist with simplifying things. I personally had a side meeting with them to see if there were options for a process that we manually process and if UKG could actually eliminate the process. We came to the conclusion that we weren't able to get it 100%, but we could pull 80% of what we needed from UKG, and then we would only need to manipulate 20% of the information. It was also determined from that meeting that we wouldn't need to pay extra to have a special report built. The customer service is what we were sold on. The other companies that we looked at didn't give us the confidence that their customer service would be any better than what we previously had.

Return on Investment
ADP
  • The system allows our employees to quickly record their time so that they can focus on their day-to-day jobs.
  • The system allows our managers to quickly approve time cards.
  • ADP Enterprise eTime does not have a sufficient query function to enable employers to easily create/schedule reports that the business needs. ADP charges high fees for custom reports.

  • Personally as a veteran user of UKG Pro, in past employers I have seen many amazing increases in employee engagement and ROI.
  • With QuVa, we are still very new to the UKG Pro platform and are just now beginning to get out of the implementation phase where we can start measuring the change. I will be looking for changes in Overtime spending to reduce as a result of more informative and actionable dashboards for managers to monitor overtime and timeclock abuses in real time. I am also expecting employees to engage more with new features being pushed out to the mobile app.
