  • UKG Pro has allowed us to better automate our payroll processing.
  • UKG Pro has helped us become a more paper-free organization.
  • UKG Pro allows us to customize the solution to meet our growing and evolving business needs.
  • As UKG is aware, the support for customers needs some improvement. As the recent changes to the staffing/support hierarchy take effect, I hope to see some relief to the current frustrations.
  • As the UKG Pro products evolve, they need to become more integrated and less segmented. Having to purchase multiple products that then need to coordinate for processing leads to issues.
  • As users, we have a lot of options for self-service and customization, but some simple fixes still require assistance from UKG support. Give us the power to help ourselves whenever possible.

  • UKG Employee Portal is very user friendly.
  • Payroll is seamless.
  • Timekeeping can handle complex rules.
  • I wish payroll had a batch process where we could store upcoming payments months out.
  • I wish they would give admins more "keys to the kingdom," and we would not have to put so many tickets in for simple changes.
  • I wish they would not nickle and dime us for every little change we need to make.

  • The job code, salary change and address/email workflows work great.
  • Payroll Gateway is a wonderful products that has made finalizing payroll easy.
  • Approval of Timecards.
  • Allowing the ability to add documents during some workflows. For example, Termination.
  • Instant Synchronization. We transitioned from Kronos WFC, where synchronization from Kronos HR/Payroll to Timekeeping was instant, and it was a big surprise to find out that in UKG Pro, we have to wait 15 to 30 minutes and, in some cases, even longer.
  • Better communication between UKG Pro, Benefit Admin and Plan Source.

  • Training is offered at no additional cost. You have 24/7 access to webinars, quick tours, documentation, etc. which really helps you become more invested in UKG Pro.
  • Customer support is superior. You have access to knowledge experts who are interested in your successful use of UKG Pro.
  • The UKG Pro user interface is intuitive allowing for ease of use by both managers and associates.
  • UKG Pro has an amazing user resource called UKG Community that offers a wealth of information.
  • Tax Filing can be tricky. Be sure to understand the process and keep on top of any action on your part.
  • Using a new system can be intimidating. Take as much training as possible to fully understand how to best leverage all of the features of UKG Pro.
  • Try to plan for the possibility of future growth upfront. Think about where you are trying to be in 10 years - will your HRIS platform sustain your growth plan?

  • Maintains a full history of employment for an employee.
  • Accurately keeps track of time clocked in and out, as well as any time off or overtime.
  • Allows the user to input goals to reach towards with their supervisor and track them as they are completed.
  • The URL to access the company-specific portal can sometimes be confusing.
  • The username/password isn't linked internally, so separate information is needed.
  • It would be nice if UKG Pro synced automatically with Outlook or specific calendar programs for easy time off tracking.

  • Personal / HR related information is easily stored and accessed within the system
  • Tracking of time and PTO is easy and the reporting is simple and can show the information in various ways
  • Clearly separates "Myself" from "My Team" which is helpful for managers to understand when they are looking for items related to themselves or for their team
  • The Workforce Management area ("My Team") needs to load in a separate window and isn't embedded into the normal experience.
  • Default views never show the data I'm looking for, not easy or intuitive to create and save new default views
  • Always have to revert back to the hamburger menu to ultimately get where you want to go

  • Performance management could be improved to compete with other PM software products.
  • It's hard to find training for people who aren't already well-versed using BI. It seems like when I try to attend live webinars of BI training they're for people who are already very comfortable using it and I need a more basic starter to get more familiar with the navigation.

  • Cognos Analytics provides live data reporting with 1000s of reportable fields.
  • The product is aesthetically pleasing allowing for users to learn more efficiently.
  • You can create processes either extremely high level or with more granularity, depending on company needs.
  • More fields in the onboarding BI package would be great.
  • Salary/Performance planning should be included in the base package in my opinion, not as an additional cost, this is a basic HR function everyone needs.
  • More consistency in support teams, we are constantly getting a new account manager and they have to re-learn our company needs, it gets exhausting.
