Limitations of UKG reporting tools are what made us switch. After a new rollout, we had to use the customer service desk a lot, and it was not a good experience. They also changed the system capabilities, like advanced reporting. When that was removed, we had to export the data …

I have used Oracle HCM in the past and loved its analytical capabilities better. Easier to train on as well.

Workday is way more feature rich and has more connections to other products and make it a more complete HR and payroll product.

The only other tool I have used was paylocity. Paylocity is a great tool as well and is more user friendly, however it is not for as big of organizations as Workday is. I would say if you are under 1k employees go with Paylocity as it will be less expensive and has everything …

ADP seemed more focused on the sales process as opposed to the product and features themselves. Ramp wa a very comparable option, it was less user friendly but offered some easier use for expenses and was a better option for the price. Workday Workforce Management however was …

Vacation TrackerWorkday Workforce Management
Likelihood to Recommend
It is good for basic increment usage. It was less appropriate for biweekly pay periods and for when work days are technically 7.5 hours with 1 hour unpaid lunch. It got kinda whacky with the numbers then since the concept of a day varied. It was great for transparency between employer and employee in terms of knowing how much PTO one has and how it was previously used. Good for history

Workday has solved many organizational needs we have from tracking time and attendance, performance and goals, compliance trainings, benefits and so much more. It is easy to adjust schedules, assign attendance points, run reports and more to keep up with employee performance. Being able to source new employees (in and out of the network) all within the same platform that we track time and benefits helps solve many needs in just one easy to use platform.

Usability
Because it did not serve us in the sense that our work day is 7.5 hours long. Otherwise, I liked how transparent it was between employer and employee. We wish it had a better way of working with 7.5 hour work days. It was easy to sign up and to introduce but ended up not being the right fit

The UI is a bit outdated and could be a bit more streamlined. There are a lot of clicks for a few items like updating employee information. The training section could be more integrated into the tasks section so users can see they have training right from their home screen.

It is a lot more simplified than what we have used in the past as it really just tracks PTO and nothing else which is nice. However, the issue with our work day being 7.5 hours was not something that Vacation Tracker worked well with. If that changed then I would be much more open to looking into it again.
