UKG Workforce Central advertises itself as a more complete system, and it is. The main area of need for us at the time was the ability to manage overtime on the fly. It does that well enough.

The integration with job boards is just OK. It could be better as it is not as fluid as it was with Bamboo.

In comparison to Kronos, UKG Workforce Central offers an enhanced user experience. Employees are notified of their schedules for the coming weeks. The system allows users to view the work schedule of others on their team for that day, making shift swapping more convenient.

UKG Workforce Central (formerly Kronos Workforce Central) is really an all-in-one solution that can be used to solve a myriad of issues: workforce management, scheduling, integration, self service, time and attendance, absenteeism, lateness, compliance, HR, payroll, data mining, and analysis.

Most of the business simply used manual timesheets and Microsoft Excel to track time and attendance before we acquired UKG Workforce Central.
Obviously this method of tracking is very prone to user error and manipulation. UKG Workforce Central has been a revolution for us in terms of centralising this task and ensuring it's done in a proper and consistent manner.

We looked this product first and actually started the conversion process before we realized it could not do some essential functions we needed. One of the simple ones was allowing for employees to select to clock in or out and not just assume the direction based on their schedule or last punch. With bus drivers working multiple routes or shifts this was imperative that they be able to select this as while they may forget one punch being able to select the direction helps identify where the missing punches are. I'm hoping this has since been corrected because it absolutely floored me that such a relatively simple thing was not an option.

Kronos Workforce Central is a robust software and is very easy for everyone to use. From management to employees, each person plays their part in using the software and our department was able to learn how to use it right away. We are constantly still learning new things but overall it is a great software.

I used Oracle People Soft HCM for four years at my last organization and rarely had a good day with it. While I was not part of the selection process for Kronos as it was already in use at my new organization when I began there, I have found Kronos much simpler to use. Many of the actions in PeopleSoft had to be batched overnight before they would display to everyone else (i.e., if I corrected to employee time, it would be after midnight before the system fully processed it, and the employee could see on their side that I had entered the change). Kronos Workforce Central isn't perfect, but it's been a significant improvement over PeopleSoft HCM.

Since I have been employed at my job, we have never used anything other than Kronos Workforce Central and it's perfect for what we need. I believe it was selected before I became an employee here and I know that the process of finding products, this one would have been chosen because of its ease of use.

We have had Kronos timekeeping for many years, and before this we used a very manual process. I was not a part of the team that chose the Kronos timekeeping system, so I really cannot say what other systems were considered for this application, if any. Kronos has done the job we needed.

The company implemented Kronos long before I took my role, but I have been present for the upgrades to the system. I have also used other versions of Kronos in my past roles. Workforce Central is definitely the more modernized version of Kronos. It definitely has its issues, although it is more user-friendly than previous versions. I also find that it's fairly comparable to systems like ADP Enterprise.

Kronos and Dayforce are the two timekeeping systems I’ve worked with in recent years. Kronos feels a little more comprehensive and is my primary timekeeping tool both for myself as well as my staff. Kronos is a great tool for a wide range of shifts, working locations, and pay codes. In this context, I would pick Kronos over Dayforce. On the opposite side, Dayforce is extremely user-friendly and has a “cleaner” user interface if that is a contributing factor for anyone. Also, for managers who oversee large teams (30-50 team members) then Dayforce is a bit more simple to approve time cards, hours, and leave. Kronos is a bit clunky with all the clicks, and managing large teams of hourly employees would be a huge time suck to go in to review/approve all.

Other than Kronos, I've only used Oracle PeopleSoft HCM for time and attendance. In comparing the two, I find that Kronos is far more high-end and busy and complicated, whereas PeopleSoft is simpler and to the point. With Kronos, there is some refining to do to it to get the time tracking tools to appear simpler, but once you customize it to your needs, it works real well. Again, the key to ensuring that the suite works well for you is to spend time with your Kronos representative who will scale the software to work as you intend it to.

Workforce Central was our selection because it capable of being virtualized (using VMWare), utilized SQL as the back-end database versus Oracle (which was cheaper to license and talent was easier to find), and because the price-point beat out their competitors. We did end up spending more money than anticipated on consulting services, but that was due to continual changes to the project scope as more features were found to be useful.

The WFM space is highly competitive and Kronos WFC is not always ideal for everyone. That said, Kronos' experience and high degree of understanding the needs of customer has enabled separation from the competition and delivers a tremendous application.
