It can streamline a variety of recruiting and talent management processes if the environment is coming from very manual/dated processes. It can reduce the office administrative requirements and reduce the paper trail by managing information electronically.

UKG is well suited for all the employees who work on the campuses. The time clock is a great way to record all the faculty and staff for time in and time out. UKG does not really suit our needs for the bus drivers who start driving from their homes

Pros
NEOGOV Onboard
- Good value.
- Built based on U.S. public sector organizations and needs.
- Paper reduction and improved efficiencies.

- Gives employees access to their information to make updates and changes yet allows us to control what they can change.
- Makes time keeping easy through the computer, the app and a physical clock.
- Allows for multiple types of reporting and allocating labor costs.

NEOGOV Onboard
- Based on a U.S. public sector so it is specific for the government; not sure it supports other or private businesses.
- As with many HR system solutions, there are limitations that need workarounds.
- The position description is not straightforward when posting jobs. Text and formatting manipulation are time-consuming rather than being able to copy an existing post.

Verified User
Consultant in Human Resources
Management Consulting Company, 5001-10,000 employeesUKG Ready (formerly Kronos Workforce Ready)
- More training necessary to use it because you do need at least half an hour for someone to explain it to you.
- Slow in the sense that it takes a long time for it to load.
- Difficult to complete in the sense that there's a lot of things you have to double check in order for it to go through properly.

We have begun looking for other vendors to supply this products need as Kronos WFR cannot deliver the suite of applications which it should with this product.*6/5/17 Edit - We started the new year with a new application. WFR proved to be unable to correct the errors within the application. We are much happier with the new application as we can use it effectively.

The usability would be better if there weren't constant changes. For example, changes were made to the Employee Information screen. Now instead of having everything presented in a clean, concise manner on approximately one screen, it is all boxier and bigger and involves a lot of scrolling. The same change has been made to the timesheet as well. The only saving grace is that there is a way to toggle back to the original view. Hopefully the toggle option remains because the new look did not go over well with our organization.

The system seems very stable. Being hosted in the cloud, we are vulnerable to internet speeds and busy times. The system has been down a couple times over the 3 months we have been live, but Kronos resolved the issues very quickly. To have access from a desktop, tablet, time clock, or phone app is one of the best features....users have almost NO REASON they can't clock in.

We were always told that Kronos was the best, but there are reports that we got out of ADP and other payroll providers that we cannot get out of Kronos. One example is a report of Productive/Non-productive hours by department. We also need the dollar amount associated with the hours. This is information that is required on our cost report and we were told that that report is unavailable. It is very frustrating when I can't get what I need.

The Kronos support staff is great! They are all very knowledgeable, are thorough when explaining or showing me how to fix something and very friendly to speak with over the phone. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 was because there are times when I just want to pick up the phone and ask a quick question but I have to start a case instead. The online help has been very useful because a lot of times I can find the answer to my question on my own

Our in-person training was a hybrid. Live online training with an instructor. They were very knowledgeable of the product & the area they were training on. I asked several specific questions and if they didn't know the answer immediately they followed up after class.

Lots & lots of training available. Timing was wrong for our organization. We had lengthy down time in the beginning while the implementation consultant setup our system. We did online training then. Difficult to train on a generic system setup that isn't your industry and hard to understand what you are learning how to do w/o actually being in your system. Online training was well documented and the instructors were very knowledgeable.

Make sure the people who are doing the build have extensive knowledge on employment law and asking the right questions. I would bet that the people who helped with our builds did not read any of our employment contracts or ordinances; and when I asked questions about how other companies handled certain basic dictates from federal employment laws, they didn't have any idea what FMLA, FLSA, etc were.

Kronos definitely beats out the competition in terms of user-friendly features and simple "it works" functionality. We tried using several other payroll suites including Paychex and found they were lacking in a number of areas especially in terms of user interface. Our employees literally groan when they remember using these older systems, they absolutely love Kronos in comparison.

Thus far we are able to add as many users as necessary, implement 3 different bargaining units, 5 different types of user groups. Very flexible.

- Managers have easy access to people/hours/earnings to better manage budgets - once we implement Scheduler, we'll take it to the next level.
- Managers and employees can self-serve in ways not possible before - we eliminated 95% of paper processes during our implementation.
