Having an integrated solution has improved manager and employee self-service and data accuracy (one source of truth).
Chose Ceridian Dayforce
There are many other HRIS software companies that also offer 3rd party integration. Any time you can develop a one stop shop, your human resources team will be more efficient and productive and your records will be more complete. It would be more beneficial if more services …
Chose Ceridian Dayforce
I love having a "one stop shop." Using other payroll softwares where you have to use many different systems to gather the information you need to solve payroll inquiries or to pay employees can get time consuming and confusing. I love how Ceridian Dayforce integrated all of …
Chose Ceridian Dayforce
Dayforce has allowed us to have one employee record, one area for tombstone data, which in turn means that one change will take effect over the whole system. One single update will update all areas of the employees life in the company, from payroll, time and benefits. This …
Chose Ceridian Dayforce
The time and attendance linked to payroll has already reduced duplication. There is less room for error as there is only one system, whereas if you have multiple systems and uploads then is always an delay or issues with the data and then a duplication of work.
Chose Ceridian Dayforce
While using multiple HR systems, there is a nightly feed by which information flows from one system to another. There is a delay in obtaining information. If all processes are in one system it is more efficient. It also makes employees feel happy as they are able to see the …
Chose Ceridian Dayforce
Less time working on integration and modifying systems to meet other system limitations. It has also gotten all our employees (from front line to Executives) familiar with Dayforce so when future modules are rolled out there is less training required (such as when we just …
Chose Ceridian Dayforce
I used to work in HR outsourcing where the client companies had hodge-podge PeopleSoft with other solutions. It was difficult having to explain to managers and employees about “feed timelines” or why data was not accurate. Having everything on one platform eliminates this pain …
Chose Ceridian Dayforce
It’s been very helpful to our organization to have all over our HR components housed in one application, rather than piecemeal in various other systems. Those separate systems sometimes break the communication bridge that binds the two and disables our ability to do our job …
Chose Ceridian Dayforce
Increased HR operational efficiency. A simplified experience for managers and employees as well, since they can learn one system and get used to it for several different purposes.
Chose Ceridian Dayforce
It was the best quality at the time.
Chose Ceridian Dayforce
The main impact of having a different software for HR, time, and attendance is that the interfaces have to go between each system, thus creating issues. For example, HR data not coming across to Ceridian, time and attendance having to be loaded within one day in timesheets for …
Chose Ceridian Dayforce
We have run 3 different systems for quite a long time. We initially had payroll on a mainframe system, HR on PeopleSoft and time keeping on Kronos. Of course this creates the need for multiple interfaces to move the data from system to system. I think having all systems on …

HCM Products across the board are the future of HR related and Human Capital related tasks. For medium to a large organization having such a tool available is critical for effective management, hiring, and payroll needs. The combination of total rewards and performance …

Chose Oracle PeopleSoft HCM
I’ve used similar products such as Lawson HCM, Dayforce HCM, and Kronos Workforce Management. All products function similarly, but I have not utilized nearly as many out of the box services they offer as I have with PeopleSoft. Lawson and Dayforce have proven to be much more …

We like Dayforce. It's our core HR system that we use many modules in. Dayforce is our payroll provider and handles all of our year end reporting and ACA forms and W2s. In fact, we are a managed services client and we ask Ceridian to handle committing our payroll and benefits module.

Oracle PeopleSoft HCM is great for tracking most HR related information. The customization for the company is great, as well as the ability to integrate with a wide variety of complimentary software. For example, ours is integrated with our ATS (Taleo) for recruiting, Kronos for timekeeping, and Vemo for workforce insight reports. Given it's overall ability, it is probably overkill for smaller companies that may want a more focused HRIS that can handle everything without the need to integrate with additional software.

Pros
Ceridian
  • 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!

  • Oracle PeopleSoft HCM is one of the best product and has helped implement the complex Business functionalities in the Higher Education business in a very streamlined process.

Cons
Ceridian
  • FMLA and leave tracking, no formal system.
  • Attendance management. Points cannot be edited from AM; you have to constantly unlock timesheets to update points.
  • Attendance management link to forms for write-ups. Write-ups are still a manual form process. There is no link from AM to HR incidents.
  • Supports lack of urgency. Some cases drag out due to no response from support. Then you get flopped to another support person and have to start over at the beginning.
  • End-dated entitlements should not be seen on the ECP screen. New policies should not be seen until the start date.
  • An easier way to create forms. Drag and drop.
  • Write-ups should have workflows with digital acknowledgments from employees and managers.
  • Benefits - medical support orders should be able to lock employees' dependents so they cannot be removed from benefits.
  • Transfers - schedules and pay should auto-update to the new ECP info.
  • Headcount as a qualifier on pay policies.
  • Workflow visibility on forms. Easy way to see whose approval is still pending. When printing forms, workflow approvals need to show on the printout.

  • We have issues with students using Time & Labor for multiple jobs, where time is incorrectly calculated, including negative balances where none exist.
  • The application is complex and some areas, especially Time & Labor, are very difficult to troubleshoot. The overall level of complexity has increased over the years.
  • We also use Campus Solutions and had to split apart HCM and CS, significantly increasing our maintenance overhead and creating inter-system issues that aren't always resolvable.
  • Campus Solutions has developed a solution for managing preferred names and gender identity that is missing/ incompatible with the HCM product.

PeopleSoft HCM has provided a very flexible platform for our HR needs. The ability to add customizations to handle some of our unique business processes have been critical in the longevity of our PS HCM use. We've been able to handle a wide variety of business processes for multiple subsidiaries due to the ability to customize when needed.

Usability
Ceridian
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.

I give this rating because we have had no issues in the area of the product's overall availability. In my opinion the resources are there when we need them and the features serve the purpose they are set to do. I feel things have gone really well as far as the availability of the product.

Performance
Ceridian
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.

I give this rating because I don't have any complaints in the area of performance. In my opinion the product's performance is right on the mark. In comparison to other systems I have used for the same purpose - recruiting, hiring and managing hires, I have found Oracle's performance to be the best. Oracle system flows better than any other recruiting system out there.

Support Rating
Ceridian
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.

Overall support has been positive and Oracle has gladly sent out representatives to meet with our teams in person. Despite sometimes sow and inadequate fixes, their willingness to try and meet face to face helps give them a better name in our organization. Sometimes their people do not understand unique needs of the industry, and it can be a challenge to explain that one size does not fit all. Finding the appropriate IT support for our unique requests has been hit and miss.

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

When we implement Oracle and Taleo to different clients it typically goes pretty smoothly. When we do system upgrades we usually test the main issues the clients are having just to make sure there are not outstanding issues or errors. I don't have any examples where implementation went poorly. It typically goes well and clients are pleased with the final result. The only complaint would be the time it takes to implement

Great features that are aesthetically amazing and provide trendy reporting features to gain insights, but lacks a fully developed product.

Scalability
Ceridian
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.

In my opinion I rate this high because we have had no issues in this area and so that is why I give it such a high rating. There is no issue with the product's overall scalability. In my opinion this has been a positive from my team and client's view.

Return on Investment
Ceridian
  • 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
