We really did not look at many other products since this one was the first one we began looking at and were "sold" very quickly on the real-time, all-in-one solution it appeared to offer. We were previously using separate systems for talent acquisition, payroll, and HR benefits. This has everything in one.

The impact is positive. Housing all factors in a single application reduces error of duplicate key entries. Our managers are able to share information immediately as well as retrieve employee data instantly. The Employee Portal allows employees to view and access certain information, incuding personal and earnings, from any area.

I can see everything about an employee without going through 3 different systems. It reduces the amount of time spent pulling together a full picture of someone's employment. We also have more control of configuring things like benefits and bonuses.

It is always easier to have all modules be in one system. We do see complications, on occasion, as our HCM is separate from Dayforce. Hopefully, one day, we could combine all into one.

First of all, it saves us a lot of time. Instead of having to pull data from one place and upload it to another place, we get it right away in real time. Second, if there is an issue, we only have to engage one support team. Third, it has saved us money on contracts with additional vendors. And fourth, it has enhanced our employee experience by giving our team members one system and password, rather than several to remember.

It’s so much easier just having everything in one database. One system to learn and administer. One password to remember. Less confusion for our employees. The last thing they want is to have to remember eight different passwords, and where do I go to view paystubs vs. where do I go to complete my performance review vs. where do I go to see my vacation balance.

In past lives I have worked at organizations who stitch multiple software solutions together via an integration - it is an absolute nightmare and is prone to breaking. Having everything in one place allows the data to flow under one roof which simplifies the whole process. It also creates a much easier platform for our crew - nobody wants to remember URL's/Passwords for five different sites

Time saving...UKG systems do not speak to each other well and it makes for time wasted and headaches. To get something done in ADP you need to make multiple calls and waste time speaking to multiple people. ADP GL creation is so complicated that I as never able to really make it work without calling the customer service department.

It is much preferred to have one system for payroll, HR, time and benefits, etc. versus staff needing to navigate through many different programs. Even with the flaws observed with the Recruiting module, which seems to have been added as an afterthought, payroll and timekeeping, along with hiring and onboarding, work the way they're intended.

Our organization had never used any kind of on line application. We relied on paper work and Microsoft Excel. Switching to the single use application Dayforce has saved numerous amounts of hours spent on payroll, with its effective and efficient modules. Not sure how we made through the past years without Dayforce!

We previously had multiple third-party modules that did not integrate well or in some cases at all with ADP. We love having the one single platform for ease of use, less log in credentials and improved productivity and efficiencies.

In past systems, including ones that Ceridian offered themselves, I always hated exporting data from a timesheet system to import into a payroll system and then exporting again from that payroll system to a payment system to commit. You have scattered reports in each system that don't provide a clear view of your employees and their work habits. It's a mess and one which I felt could easily lend to fraudulent activity or mistakes due to human error, both of which I saw occasions of under the separated systems. With Ceridian Dayforce, it's just easy...

There are a bunch of other products like Dayforce that I've evaluated over the past 5-10 years, just took too long to select them but as a general statement, there are not many of the major HRIS tools that I haven't explored at any given time. We've hit on the single application previously. It's important, it's very helpful.

I have more time to dedicate to other projects within our company. I can easily look at payroll, benefits, onboarding documents, learning and pull reporting from all of these modules within minutes. One single source application and one login with access to our employee population and all the modules that HR maintains their data.
