• They offer a multitude of training modules and opportunities which are very professionally done.

• Easily over-engineered. While it's great to be able to customize, there are times where there are too many choices.
• Would like to see it integrate better with our HRIS system.
• Still a lot of manual steps in the workflow.

• We have a lot of processes that go through the system with several approvals. Sometimes, the process will get stuck with one approver who requests to change the effective date, and we need to resubmit the whole transaction to fit the update.
• We find that BI can be difficult for our most skilled users.
• We have many rehires whose company paid benefits need to manually reinstated to their profile. We wish these were auto-added as if they were a completely new hire.

• Ultipro made my life a whole lot easier. I was able to generate reports with ease to give to executives during Union negotiations, employee reviews, and vendor census analysis.
• The cost of the product had an advantage over WorkForce Now. We were paying around $12500 a quarter for an employee base of 2500.
• I do wish customer service was friendly, and when I called I wouldn't be in que for 20 minutes.
• I attended one of Ultipro's report writer training at their Headquarters. The instructor was great, and I learned more than I imagined I would. It was well worth the cost.
