Kronos Workforce Dimensions / UKG Dimensions (discontinued)

We believe UKG can deliver a comprehensive and integrated WFM solution.

UKG Dimensions is a more robust platform than UKG Workforce Central. Although there are some features in Workforce central that I already miss. I am so glad we purchased UKG Dimensions, as it is more suited for the Manufacturing industry. With UKG Dimensions, we will also have Activities that will show us the real price of the glass we make, with labor cost, at a click of a button. UKG Workforce Central did not have that at the time I used it four years ago. I look forward to seeing all of the things we can accomplish now that we could not before. I would recommend UKG Dimensions to all manufacturing companies.

The Functionality in UKG Dimensions is extremely user-friendly and it did most of what we needed out of the box. Easy for an HR/PR Person who is tech-savvy to manage without too much support from IT.

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].

workforce dimensions [have] better UI. WFC has been good for our business due to: a large number of adj rule triggers able to be stored in each profile, geo sensing vs geofencing, and a few other features. WFD as a cloud-based product is more reliable than on-prem solutions due to outdated technology and servers. Dell Boomi's capabilities better suited our company's needs compared to WIM.

Actually, I believe WorkForce Suite is still the best product for our organization at this time because of the flexibility of allowing the customer to create whatever is needed. We selected UKG Dimensions because we needed a schedule solution as well.

UKG Dimensions is complex and [simple] to use making it easier to embrace opportunities, ensure accuracy, and report on KPIs, which I was not able to do with other products.

The amazing new tools in Dimensions made it an easy choice for our corporation. Initially, we had reservations; however, UKG was able to step up to the plate and tackle every issue or concern we had. They were able to convince our senior leadership team that the migration to Dimensions is the right one for our organization.

UKG Dimensions is by far and away [from] the best Timekeeping, Scheduling, and HR tool that I've used.

Dimensions [are] very similar to WFC with some UI changes and differences in things like the business structure and CRTs. We are going with Dimensions as UKG moves forward with the new software and away from WFC in the future.

Dimensions has so much more functionality over its predecessor, Workforce Central. We're really excited about workflows and automated tasks/communications based on triggers.

UKG Dimensions provides an enterprise-wide integrated suite for timekeeping, staff scheduling, and clocks. We were an existing Workforce Central customer for timekeeping only and were interested in providing holistic experience between staff scheduling and timekeeping. In addition, [UKG] Dimensions established a great foundation for transitioning our organization from departmental focused scheduling solutions to enterprise.

Dimensions have been great for us with the customization. I have been informed that UltiPro had capabilities that were never built out. We had UltiPro and made the change right before and in the midst of the merger. The HCM side was much better in UltiPro in many ways but the timekeeping/scheduling side is much better in Dimensions. We have managed to make the HCM work for us but some things in UltiPro were better.

I think Workday has more attractive view and is simpler to understand.

Dimensions blow WFC away. So much more intuitive and end user-friendly. I can't wait for the rest of my organization to get a look at it.

I used a different time and attendance product (I don't know the name it was included in with our other applications) The ability to edit and approve time was more functional. The ease of requesting time off was better, such as requesting multiple days off with repeat functions. The calendar to view your time off requests was more straightforward.

We liked Ceridian Dayforce quite a bit but ultimately, for what we were spending, UKG Dimensions Timekeeping had more flexibility for our various types of employees and then brought our data together in a concise yet, informative way. Ceridian Dayforce has many of the same options but lacks some flexibility that was important for us.

It was sold as the new, improved, much more robust Workforce Central. We chose Dimensions because Adobe Flash will no longer be supported and we needed to find another solution.
Since we were already using Kronos WFC and Workforce Telestaff, we had made some significant investments in the software and were satisfied enough with both products, we decided to migrate to Dimensions.

UKG [Dimensions (formerly Kronos Workforce Dimensions)] was and is clearly in the lead vs. Frontline's time/attendance product (in our opinion). UKG for school districts is way more customizable and offers more of what we need.

Kronos Workforce Dimensions is a very robust time tracking tool, which provides much flexibility for configuring the timecard and various rules to pay overtime. Kronos Workforce Dimensions also has their own timecards, which would automatically integrate with dimensions. Thus additional integration costs for other clocks are not required. Their support system is incredible, and they provide the bulk of training on their knowledge map.
