Cornerstone OnDemand vs UKG Ready

• Automatic recurring assignments are easy to get that refresher training out without needing to assign it fresh each time.
• Reporting 2.0 makes it easy to write and share your reports with just selected filters. Making it easy for people receiving it to just change what they need to see.
• Learning Admin Console makes it easy to peek at what is going on in your portal and open up connected reporting when needed.
• Success Center is a great resource for getting peer answers to questions and learning about the releases and suggesting changes that should be added to the roadmap.

• Streamlines the process between HR and payroll. Each team can quickly see and share information.
• Our entire hospital team can use the system and it's easy to provide trouble shooting support to our teams.
• Appearance -The system is easy to use and attractive for users.
• The payroll process specifically is very well laid out.
• Communication! UKG has really stepped up on communication and training especially around tax related deadlines.

• User-submitted external training is editable by users even after it has been approved and completed on their transcript, UNLESS a transcript lock is put into place--which also renders all submitted certificates un-openable once approved. Thus they can never be referenced after approval.
• The system is designed for annual compliance training to be re-versioned annually. I [believe it] is a very un-user friendly for training that we don't want to re-version because users take it on a rolling, as-needed basis.
• Some very key components are not configurable and cause our users a great deal of confusion. For example, there is no way to turn off the search bar on a user transcript or even to edit the prompt text within it. Our users are constantly searching for training here, and end up re-opening/re-launching completed courses rather than registering for a new occurrence of a course.
• In general, we find Cornerstone [onDemand] clunky and that it does not really meet our needs.

• Recruitment module is clunky for hiring managers, people who are not administrators.
• Some of the setups don't make sense when administering - for example managing multiple pay rates.
• Some of our integrations do not work properly and it is difficult to get a UKG Ready person to work through it with the 3rd party partner.

• Positive: We have had better reporting with UKG Ready.
• Negative: We still have no benefit integration with our external benefit administrator after 2 years on the UKG Ready Platform. The first attempt that took 2 years failed and now UKG wants us to pay for a single directional integration. This has cost excessive staff hours for manual intervention.
• Negative: Any payroll adjustment requirements are not easy and the UKG Process is outdated. We recently had a payroll issue and were forced to issue a 2nd payroll but the payroll was delayed because UKG cannot (will not) process the same day. This is unacceptable and since Kronos and Ultimate Software merged, Ultimate software was able to process same day as are many other payroll companies that do not have as much power as UKG Ready does.
• Positive: We are able to use position management for better budgeting. There could be some upgrades to this module, but it does do what was promised.
• Negative: Quarterly and year-end closeouts are 3rd business days, which is not always possible. Very inflexible in regards to this. Even when it is done timely, we get random notices and charges that it was not done even though we can prove it was.
• Positive: It appears customer service is getting better. We struggled at first, but lately, it seems better.
