    I think Dayforce is a great option for a large and/or Global organization. I do not think it would be the best fit for a very small company or business. It really shines for enterprise organizations with multi-locations. While a small business could use it, I would say it has too many bells and whistles that might feel overwhelming to a smaller organization.

    Deel has been incredible at streamlining the platforms we used into one while still supporting employees across several countries and contract types. If you're a multi-country team, this is a great option to run just basic HRIS items, but has the potential to be as integrated and detailed as you want - and they are still building!

    Pros
    Dayforce
    • Payroll - it shows everything in real time and it runs quickly.
    • People - Having all employee details from the offer letter to W2 information in the same spot.
    • Dayforce Wallet: The on-demand feature is fully integrated with Timesheets and Payroll. What shows in one will be in the other.

    Cons
    Dayforce
    • There have been a few instances of users being locked out of Ceridian due to recent upgrades. Not ideal when an employee wants to see their paystub and is suddenly have login issues.
    • Not the best for when an employee is transferred to another country as their employee number is locked to their SIN or SSN. And, we are required to create a new user record with a new employee number for the new country.

    • I didn't like that you can no longer manage your teams with Deel IT without a paid service. You could before, and it was an excellent option! I don't know why they removed it. (No me gustó que ahora no podas gestionar tus equipos con deel IT sin tener el servicio pago. Antes si se podía y era una excelente opción! No sé por qué lo quitaron).
    • That at the time of reviewing invoices for payment at the end of the month, they are sorted alphabetically and that the "search" filter works correctly.
    • (Que al momento de la revisión de invoices para pago a fin de mes, éstos estén ordenados alfabéticamente y que el filtro "buscar" funcione correctamente).
    • There's a pop-up that keeps appearing on the platform: "new version available, update" it's really annoying. (Hay un pop up que aparece constantemente en la plataforma: "new version available, update" la verdad es muy molesto).

    We are highly invested in Ceridian's Dayforce product. It give us the flexibility and scaling that our growing company needs. Its potential reaches beyond the basic HR functions to the decision making that our Management Team needs. Ceridian is always innovating the employee and employee experiences to offer cutting edge options.

    We have been using this software for the last two years in the company of the a.m. Right now, I am part of the admin team for this software, so just being able to have a 1:1 usage of the software has helped me to realize how many aspects any other saw HR tool are lacking.

    Usability
    Dayforce
    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.

    The system does everything you would want it to. There are times when it is clunky, and navigation and responsiveness could be improved, but the Deel team listens to feedback and aims to implement solutions whenever they can. It is constantly improving and has become a much better system than when we first started utilizing it. We see it only improving in the future, too.

    Reliability and Availability
    Dayforce
    Dayforce's high availability ensures that our HR processes are supported around the clock, which is critical for a global organization like ours. The platform is cloud-based, offering reliable access from any location at any time, allowing our employees, managers, and HR teams to stay connected regardless of time zones or geographic locations. This level of availability ensures that payroll processing, employee self-service, and real-time data access continue uninterrupted, even during peak periods or unforeseen disruptions. The system’s robust infrastructure minimizes downtime, which is vital for operations that span multiple regions. Additionally, having a centralized platform that’s always available helps keep our teams aligned, ensures compliance, and facilitates timely decision-making across all our locations.

    Performance
    Dayforce
    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.

    Support Rating
    Dayforce
    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

    I can't speak much to how it would be if we had all of these features separately since I started with Dayforce all being integrated and have no other experience, but having it all in one place has made the completion of all of these HR tasks seamless. We can direct all of our energies into the same system, and it makes it easier to field employee inquiries and to troubleshoot when we need to

    I only worked with them briefly but found Deel to be superior in almost every way. Deel's offers substantially more features and functionality for a global team with dynamic needs. However if we were only operating in Germany Personio would be a strong contender given its specialization but for us this didnt make up for Deels flexibility and breadth

    Scalability
    Dayforce
    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
    Dayforce
    • 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

    • Very positive, has saved me days of legal and admin work.
    • Made us globally compliant and has allowed us to hire in all jurisdictions without having to worry about legal implications.
    • Allows us to scale the company easily, hire from all over the world, and provide a fast and easy solution for payments.
    • Contractors are also extremely happy with Deel as they receive the payment quickly, are [able] to submit expenses easily, and it's all automated.
