Overall Satisfaction with Ceridian Dayforce

Ceridian Dayforce is our Human Resources backbone. We have implemented it at each of our business units, and it connects us as one team instead of nine separate departments. We use it for the core functions: HR, Payroll, WFM, Benefits, Time & Attendance. We also use it for labor tracking, GL, reporting, recruiting, learning, performance, compensation, and engagement surveys. We are also in the process of rolling out use of Ceridian's succession planning and position management modules.

Pros

  • Payroll
  • Consistency-Stability-Reliability
  • HR System of Record
  • Customer Service
  • Variability (more than one way to accomplish something)

Cons

  • Attendance Management (module needs updating)
  • Mobile Experience (has come a long way, still has some gaps)
  • Recruiting/ATS (has come a long way, still has some gaps)
  • Tax Service (is not nearly as strong as their core customer service)
  • Reduced reliance on paper
  • Indirect cost savings through increased productivity and efficiency in HR and Payroll
  • Saved workspace by uploading files to Document Management, which allowed us to get rid of filing cabinets.
First of all, it saves us a lot of time. Instead of having to pull data from one place and upload it to another place, we get it right away in real time. Second, if there is an issue, we only have to engage one support team. Third, it has saved us money on contracts with additional vendors. And fourth, it has enhanced our employee experience by giving our team members one system and password, rather than several to remember.

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 can't think of too many scenarios where it's not well suited. Maybe it would be too much for a very small company. Maybe it's not the best fit for a company located in a country where Ceridian doesn't have its own payroll platform (list is shrinking). But for any company looking for efficiency and standardization in terms of payroll, HR, and even operational processes, I think you can't go wrong with Ceridian.
