fast response solving most issues with one call, only issue with KGS is when a bug is reported, would like to see a faster update and better communication after it is addressed.

I have continued to be impressed with the tech team. They are professional and almost feel as if they are my own personal tech support team. They own my issues and solve them

Overall, the support team is very responsive and on most occasions, I talk to the same reps which is nice because then we have a rapport and they know what I need.

We are soooo pleased with the support staff at UKG. They respond so quickly to the tickets. I have never waited more than 3 hours for a "medium" issue and most "high" issues get responded to within an hour. It's amazing. They are so qualified to handle the issues. We couldn't be more pleased. Most companies pass you to support and the relationship dies there. No so with UKG.

UKG has been great to support our needs. I have used the chat feature, email and phone support and have received positive helpful support each time. I prefer the chat support but the feature is not always available when I want to use it. The email has been good to use as an alternative.

Support has not been as good as last year. online chat hardly ever solves a problem and return phone calls on cases takes much longer.

If I was only rating support itself that would be a 10. Every support case I have entered has been addressed efficiently and with the desired result. On the implementation and transition to support there were multiple issues that those doing the implementation or transition could not answer or workflows and various settings left undone only to be discovered later. We implemented 3 different modules and the expertise we got for each one varied widely.

The support received varies. In most instances, I have been contacted same day by support to get the issue resolved, but there was one instance where I was not contacted for over a week and then when I was finally contacted, the assistance received was lacking.

All requests have been dealt with. Regardless if the request is clear or not, a discussion between Kronos and our organization takes place and all aspects of the change are discussed before implementation. Kronos' experience often reveals issues we had not considered.

This is a nice system and does more than most full featured HR systems. However, you will often find yourself fighting the system because of strange restrictions on where data can flow.
