Chose Dayforce
We don't use Ceridian benefits, so we do have to have multiple up and downstream integrations.
Chose Dayforce
Our company impact has been greatly accepted across our company, Ceridian has made work day a lot easier and less confusing on where to go and where to find certain items.
Chose Dayforce
It is very efficient
Chose Dayforce
It’s so much easier just having everything in one database. One system to learn and administer. One password to remember. Less confusion for our employees. The last thing they want is to have to remember eight different passwords, and where do I go to view paystubs vs. where do …
Chose Dayforce
We have always had all modules integrated.
Chose Dayforce
It's been fantastic for us to have everything integrated together. Unfortunately the Time & Attendance module didn't fit our requirements but we were able to easily integrate with a different solution. In particular, it's been very helpful having the hire/rehire process mostly …
Chose Dayforce
I haven't used the other applications so I can't objectively compare but it has definitely made a difference having a single application on our business.
Chose Dayforce
It saves time and reduces the duplication of entries. We went from multiple systems for HR, payroll, and finance--none of which spoke to each other--to Ceridian Dayforce being the system that interfaces with our other platforms. The data is entered only once into Ceridian …
Chose Dayforce
I personally have never worked with other all-in-one systems.
Chose Dayforce
Third-party modules don't always communicate the way they should—things get missed. It's a headache having to reach out to different vendors just for them to "blame" the other vendor. Having everything in one place is very beneficial!
Chose Dayforce
ADP was very similar in the capacity that I used it, which is recruiting. I don't have experience with any other programs. I did work with ADP for 5 years and I will say Dayforce is much more user-friendly and the Dayforce support system is fabulous. They always respond …
Chose Dayforce
The benefit of having a single source for these items is tremendous. We are quickly able to review an employee's information for accuracy and are able to report on across all of our locations and combine information from all of these areas.
Chose Dayforce
The interaction from one platform to another does not always work, seems very separated from one to another and can create some confusion.
Chose Dayforce
Dayforce was compatible with our in house ATS system more so than other companies.
Chose Dayforce
From a reporting standpoint, my job is much easier to get all the salary, benefits, and other data to accurately reproduce an employee's total compensation. This helps our management staff make more accurate decisions in this area.
Chose Dayforce
Dayforce had an overall rounded system that will allow us to do everything we want, versus other programs.
Chose Dayforce
We still have multiple products because we have separate products for time and attendance, LMS and ATS but all these products work well with Ceridian.

ADP GlobalView Payroll is well suited if we want to process payroll for multiple employees at once. It helps in calculation of hourly compensation for employees having different payrate. It also helps in auto run of payroll at regular intervals. There is still a scope of improvement for contractor payment in different currencies.

Ceridian is well suited for transferring time data between systems to ensure employees are accurately compensated based on their time. Ceridian is not ideal when an employee has transferred to a different country. (As previously mentioned, we are required to create a new user record which with our setup requires the existing employee to be hired in the new location).

  • Reporting. It has an extensive report builder with stock reports, ad-hoc reports, and the ability to build your own custom reports.
  • Payroll. The continuous payroll engine makes processing complex payrolls much easier and faster.
  • Forms. The stock forms are a great jumping off point to start creating custom forms that work better for your processes and organization.
  • Documentation. Every module is well documented, and you're always bound to learn something if you read through them properly!

  • In payroll, there are sometimes issues with calculating pay when people’s rates change mid-pay period
  • Would love to see an option to assist with building SQL or XML statements in the future (maybe co-pilot AI?)
  • Would love an easy way to store pre-hire documents with candidates that syncs over to their HR profile when hired

Its potential reaches beyond the basic HR functions to the decision making that our Management Team needs.

The tool is very intuitive and users can find all the information required and plan their pay structure. The navigation on the webpage is seamless and response time is decent. The overall experience of the platform is amazing

I think it's very usable for the employee. I don't think it is as easy for the HR/PR admins - especially if there is an issue. There are so many setup screens that need to be looked at to try to figure out why payroll isn't calculating properly, hours aren't feeding over correctly, or benefits are not calculating properly. For the most part, they can't do their own troubleshooting. The same is true for the managers. Our managers find it cumbersome to go into make any schedule changes after the schedules have been generated.

We have never experienced a total/unplanned outages that effected our ability to process payroll. However, there are times when the application's speed is significantly effected - and processing a payroll may take up to twice as long as normal.

We haven't noticed any slow-down due to the integration of Dayforce WFM with our Ceridian HPL products (HRIS and Payroll). The new HTML view of the timesheets don't load as quickly as the old Silverlight view - however, we have gotten used to the change.

Have not experience or noticed that the ADP GlobalView has an outage, so I can say that support has been good on making the tool highly available.

Most of the time the support is great; it's not always super efficient but I always get the help I need. Occasionally it takes a lot longer than we had hoped or get conflicting responses. We had one ticket recently where we were told we would have to pay the service team to support us on the project and then another person called the next day with the solution to our query and was able to find a solution easily. Generally, though, the response is great and they either walk me though how to do something via a Zoom Meeting or they email step-by-step instructions on how to do it and say if I have questions we can set up a meeting to discuss further.

Have a strong internal team. Communicate with your implementation team - they are there to make it work for you. Take the time to really think about how you want the system to work for you - in some cases, you may need to rethink your own business practices to see if you are working harder when the system could do it for you

All of the info for Payroll, HR updates, employee updates, Time worked and PTO are in a single application, with a single login, updated in every screen or module in real time. There is no lag in data from screen to screen or from user to user, its almost instant.

Scalability

Overall, we are extremely happy with the Dayforce WFM module. Our biggest pain point is concerning the twice annual software upgrades - which is the only reason I haven't rated them as a '10'. Because every customer is configured differently, the upgrades can sometimes have adverse effects on our current configured policies/rules. And although they roll-out the upgraded version in a test environment several weeks before go-live, not all testing is accurate in that environment. Some issues do not present themselves until you are working with live punches.

Return on Investment
ADP
  • Positive: Centralized Cloud-based system that can be accessed 24-7.
  • Negative: Customer support is always shifted back to your company's HR.
  • Positive: Great for ad-hoc retrieval of compensation records.

  • Performance Reviews/Comp used to be handled via paper and tracking/reporting was a nightmare - having all of that in the system is so much more efficient and provides huge ROI
  • Our organization used to have big problems with hiring managers going rogue and hiring positions that aren't approved by Finance - we built an approval workflow in the system that triggers before any req is approved which has completely solved this problem
  • Dayforce Wallet has been a huge perk for our employees - it's heavily used and our crew love it
