Munis vs. Kronos Workforce Dimensions / UKG Dimensions (discontinued)

Munis is great for any sort of data keeping and accounting work. There are features of Munis that I am still not familiar with even after 6 years of use. Munis would not be very good for a point of sale sort of operation like a retail store because it just simply is not set up for that sort of operation.

UKG Dimensions provides an extensive feature offering for advanced scheduling in non-procedural clinical settings and administrative operations. Although EZ-Call can be used for procedural areas the lack of out the box integration with [UKG] Dimensions creates an undesirable experience for departments needing both products. UKG [Dimensions] can increase customer adoption by offering a more integrated experience for clinical settings requiring both products.

• Munis has multiple different sections that each pertain to different areas of our office. For example, there is a section in Munis that is for listing. This area supports all of the information that our county (or any other county) would need to enter to properly tax Business or Personal Property. There are similar sections for collections, vehicles, etc.
• Munis has so many features. Munis can be set up to maintain foreclosures, garnishments, attachments, and/or executions within its collections sections.
• Munis has so many features but they all work together which is great because you can see almost everything within the main bill inquiry area instead of having to flip back and forth between areas of the software.
• Munis also has a finance side which is great because we are able to submit our collections reports to our finance department and they too can use finance to handle that side of the business.
• Munis is highly customizable due to the amount of features it has.

• The level of granularity on FAPs is very helpful for configuring access compared to other platforms
• UI is very easy to follow and intuitive

• Room for improvement for the Building Dept. software. Could not get it to work so we ended up getting rid of it and going back to our old system.
• The payroll side could use more fine tuning. You have to manipulate some things to get them to work properly.

• Integrations need to be more accessible to the administration and more flexible in change adoption.
• Performance Reviews need to be flexible on the cycles. We don't offer PR all on one focal date. We review employees on their anniversary dates.
• Attendance Tracking needs to deliver more real-time notifications and correct itself real-time when exceptions or incidents are fixed.

UKG Dimensions is very user-friendly from an employee and supervisor standpoint. It is very robust on an admin level and can get complicated; however, you can do so many things with it that is outweighs the complexity. The security for UKG Dimensions needs to be revamped however. It is very cumbersome and not user-friendly.

• Kronos Workforce Dimensions a new product, and it has a lot of scope for improvement, with future releases. One of the best tools to perform time tracking.
• Their support team is very knowledgeable, and their SLA's are pretty tight. Any query raised would be addressed in a few hours.
• Timeclock configuration can be complicated; however, their support team knows the processes and guidelines.

WorkForce Software has a solid foundation for enterprise scaled employee counts of 100,000 employees and supports multiple assignment configurations, i.e. one employee can have multiple timesheets that multiple managers can own. UKG has one employee to one timecard. It makes it hard for companies that have employees that can have multiple jobs within the organization that can have separate timecards that report to multiple managers. UKG works well for medium size employee counts, once over 10K employees, you start to see the system have performance issues. WorkForce was able to handle 80K employees and process an employee demographic file in 2 hours, while UKG with 26K employees takes 6 hours. WorkForce lacks end-user configuration documentation, while UKG has great documentation and training materials. UKG's user community is top-notch, while WorkForce's has before 3 years, there has been no improvement. UKG has a better support model for end-user support. Workforce provides database access and the ability to write javascript for integrations. UKG has no access to the database and uses APIs that are not [flexible] to retrieve data. End-user configuration for UKG does not require a programmer or IT professional, while WorkForce has a powerful rules engine policy editor that makes it highly [flexible].
