Overall Satisfaction with Ceridian Dayforce

It is used as our system of record for employee data, WFM and payroll company wide.

Pros

  • I think they listen to ideas submitted in the Aha portal as I have seen many come to fruition.
  • They respond timely to support requests with actual solutions.
  • My CRM is very thoughtful and diligent in keeping a close relationship and solving for our needs.

Cons

  • Employee changes report every payroll. I have never been able get a report that showed just true changes to the record per pay period.
  • Stop trying to sell me a block of hours.
  • I actually still prefer the old MY HR layout where more employee data was displayed on a single page. Now I have to click in multiple areas to get a combo of data.
  • Merged multiple payrolls from acquired companies onto one payroll eliminating the cost for the other payroll vendors services.
There were many things I liked about Oracle. Specifically the flexibility with reporting. However, employee record management in Core HR and something as complex as Benefits Admin, setting up plans, updating rates, launching OE, I think I have had a better experience with Dayforce as it is easier to use and the UI is more user friendly.
I think it has a strong support model. I have frequently needed help with entitlements as they are somewhat of a beast and there are a million places something needs to be set up/created in order for them to work properly (downside there isn't a wizard to walk me through) but support is very knowledgeable. I just wish there was a wizard that took you from step 1 to completion of building out an entitlement.
