(1-25 of 432)UKG Pro Review
- Processing new hires
- Outdated software - user interface could be better (design, wording, groups)
- The functionality is limited
- Reporting feature needs to be revamped
- Better user friendly mobile app for employees and managers
UKG Pro Review 2024
We don't get the support we need from UKG Pro or if we do, it's not timely.
We do understand that we are going to have to change Time management because it's no longer supported. We also need to add a scheduling tool.
- Good source of Employee data;
- Reports are fairly wasy to use
- Our Executive Account Manager is great to work with
- Time to respond to cases
- The buck being passed to other areas of the business
- Lack of personal attention, feel like your request go to AI or a black hole
UKG
- I like the flexibility BI gives for reporting
- I like the "payroll processing" functionality compared to Namely or ADP
- Even though the amendment process can be lengthy, I like how easy UKG makes it to make payroll adjustments
- More reporting around payroll adjustments. Once the amendment case is done and they provide the AAF report, it's hard to reconcile the additional amounts due. I log each payroll adjustment and I still find it hard to follow once we receive the AAF report
- The GL set up in UKG is not flexible. It would be nice to have more flexibility to how we are able to code items in the GL Rules
- In standard reporting, have the option to download more reports in either excel or csv format. Such as the Tax Liability Grand Total Report
UKG Pro Review
- Proving us with a very involved Executive Relationship Manager
- Working with us as a more team approach
- [A... I...] - incredible partner
- The ticket system - closing cases quicker
- UKG Pro provides so much info, that it's almost too much which makes everything more overwhelming. Simplifying would be so much nicer
Great functionality for price
- Manage performance reviews
- Manage the annual salary increase process
- Work flow management for various processes (job changes, new hire orientation, off-boarding)
- log in process is frustrating
- panels are hard to navigate
- phone app is terrible
UKG - Valuable Asset Software
- Electronic Onboarding
- Dashboard Features
- Employee Mobile App
- Ability to customize Recruiting and Onboarding
- Ability to allow system administrators the ability to manage the PlanSource application
- Transfer of documents from Recruiting into CORE
UKG Pro Changes Lives in the Auto Industry.
- 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.
A good product that can become better.
- 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.
Partner for Life - Setting you up for Success
- 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?

- Annual Reviews
- Payroll and updating payroll information
- Reviewing pay stubs
- Reviewing annual pay increases
- Password changes can be tedious
- Multiple steps to update some information
- Too many tabs, could be condensed to be clear where to find information
UKG Pro Works for Me!
- Integrates well between the modules
- Benefits management
- Open Enrollment
- Employee Self Service
- Online community for users
- Their support follow through can be lacking
- Communication for system outages/known issues
- More control of security for administrators
Integration Difficulties
- unknown
- In my opinion, customer support often cannot answer questions without pointing us to their consulting group
- In my opinion, integration of payroll with timekeeping is difficult
- In my opinion, API support is weak, one one tab of a report can be exported and the API is not at all flexible...
UKG User Point of View
- 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.
High satisfaction with UKG Pro
My Company has high volume of hiring across Canada, UKG recruitment and onboarding is able to facilitate the process in a simple and efficient way. We involved many hiring managers and sections, but HR can monitor the process in an integrated platform.
- Easy to understand, and straight forward
- Ultimate Community is fantastic, knowledge sharing is powerful
- In recruiting gateway, the use email should be verified during account registration. We sometimes found some candidates they put a wrong or invalid email address in the last stage, and we have to start over the whole process from the beginning.
- Work location should be one of the field can be added in the offer letter.
Is the system can move them in a change process (like promotion, or change title) when they identify this is an internal candidate?
Excited to Grow with UKG!
- Modernize
- Streamline
- Communicate
- Grow
- Updates
- Training Material
UKG Pro manages all of our associate HR, Payroll and Benefits data seamlessly and integrates our multiple platforms that I support as part of the IT Corporate Applications department. We have found that the system is easy to navigate and use for our business customers, and also provides excellent training and documentation materials for customers.
- Easy to navigate pages for HR, Payroll, Benefits and System Administrators
- Excellent BI reporting resources and sample/demo reports
- Customization resources for system pages via Platform Configuration
- Mass upload capability via the Mass Update feature and Import Tool
- Unable to process Promotions as part of the Compensation Management merit process
- Unable to view configuration tables in the Benefits Administration (PlanSource) system
- Difficulty in configuring security for managers who require visibility to more than one Org Level hierarchy in UKG Pro
- Platform configuration fields are difficult to add to queries and do not interface to other modules/systems
HR Dreams come true
- Streamline payroll and tax payments
- BI reports and analytics - via scheduled delivery
- Consolidating all employee data on a user-friendly platform for easy navigation and administration
- Products are holistic, and all geared towards helping HR and companies manage their teams and team members
- Include SSO links in notification emails for users that work in the field that use the mobile app, as well as the standard links that route back to the desktop. e.g. PTO request approvals, job requisition approvals, people assist notifications
- Service requests in Ultimate Community have a serious lag. Provide more resources to get projects completed in a more timely manner. Most steps are stalled in our internal projects that require data feeds, UDES, or interface builds waiting for a UKG resource assignment.
UKG Pro -- Great product but expensive
- comprehensive HRIS system
- reporting
- employee administration
- tax administration
- Incredibly slow in creating new or modifying EDI/API file feeds with benefit carriers
- Customer service case response times - have really slowed down over the last 1-2 years
UKG Pro is it all that its cracked up to be!
- Payroll Processing
- Payment Tax Service
- Year End reporting
- Benefits
- Recent server issues has cause slow time in using the system. Better and faster access to UKG Pro is helpful.
- Support system has improved since our implementation but there is still room for improvement. The response time in some cases can be a week just to get someone assigned to a case
- Unable to have our employees access 1099 NEC forms on their UKG accounts as well as t4A for our Canada contractors
UKG Review
- Cognos reporting
- Talent Management
- HRIS administration
- configurable fields in the recruiting module
- the ability for new employees to upload documents in the onboarding module
- remote employee taxes
UKG is an Enterprise's best friend.
Furthermore, we use the site to carry out mandatory trainings per quarter and keep track on all trainings. This helps the company to be able to handle most HR inquiries and trainings in one consolidated website that is very easy to use.
- Timecard Entry and Automation of Scheduling to enter Timecards.
- Training tracking
- Instant changes with Direct Deposit
- Easy to use Mobile Application
- Document acknowledgement at times is buggy
- Restriction of downloading your own documents
- Site doesn't play well on hardened networks.
The reason I say that, is for the cost if your under 2,500 employees there are a lot of software options that companies can use that are definitely cheaper and can provide the same amount of functionality that UKGPro does. However if your company is more than 2,500 employees this is definitely the way to go because of its easy to use UI, its mobile application, and other top notch features.
UKG Pro - Helps you be the payroll and HR Pro!
- Keeping up to date with federal and state laws related to data retention and other rules
- UKG Pro is constantly moving forward and changing the system to up with the latest technology and strives to improve the system for the users
- The reporting functionality within the system is top notch
- There are a few issues with the tax payment functionality. The system does not always match payment services which causes discrepancies in reporting.
- Customer Support takes a long time to respond when a case is opened for assistance.
- Streamlines candidates through recruiting, onboarding and into payroll
- Provides analytics regarding employee retention/satisfaction
- Manages multiple jobs/pay, deductions, benefits
- UKG Pro is so customizable that it can be overwhelming
- Cognos Analytics provides great reporting but creating new customized reports is not easy for the average user
- Recruiting could be more up-to-date to include text to apply and automated text responses.
