Overall Satisfaction with Ceridian Dayforce

Ceridian Dayforce is used to effectively manage our entire workforce. We utilize various modules to help better manage the entire employee Lifecyle. One of the greatest feature of Ceridian is the fact it's an all in one solution and you can customize the product be selecting the modules that are important for your business. In addition, the more you work and understand the Ceridian Dayforce system in it's entirety, the more powerful it becomes and the more powerful it grows over time as you understand what you are able to customize and build personally.
  • Give the ability to customize and self create solutions for your business.
  • The reporting capabilities have always been outstanding and the new visualizations bring that to another level.
  • The Dayforce overall payroll capabilities are world class.
  • The overall recruiting module has a lot of room for improvement. If you need details, we can chat but that is the single most glaring opportunity for improvement for Dayforce.
  • The billed service wait time of 8-12 weeks right now is very lengthy. I understand the labor market and growth of the company so I hope this drops significantly.
  • I'm excited to see the mobile benefit enrollment coming and I would like to have all onboarding be mobile as well and more user friendly.
  • Compliance is the number one benefit
  • Reduced paper and consolidation of information is huge
Ceridian helps in multiple areas from a compliance standpoint. We're talking payroll compliance, healthcare, ACA, AAP's. There are probably more areas that I'm not thinking of at the moment as well.
Having one engine for all HCM data just makes the process that much smoother. It also allows us to have better overall usage of the platform throughout our 250+ locations.
There are a bunch of other products like Dayforce that I've evaluated over the past 5-10 years, just took too long to select them but as a general statement, there are not many of the major HRIS tools that I haven't explored at any given time. We've hit on the single application previously. It's important, it's very helpful.

Do you think Dayforce delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Dayforce's feature set?

Yes

Did Dayforce live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Dayforce go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Dayforce again?

Yes

I think to get the most out of Ceridian Dayforce you really need someone or multiple people that are willing to dive in and understand the system, push it, and learn what levers you can pull/push to get the results you are looking for. It's a tremendously powerful system, but unless you are willing to push it, you'll likely not get as much out as possible. I would probably recommend this for a mid to larger size company with multiple core users in a department. Last point, we have over 250 locations and Dayforce is built to handle a company our size and larger. It's a powerful tool.
