Overall Satisfaction with Kronos Workforce Ready

Kronos workforce ready is being used across the whole company; it allowed us to integrate three separate systems into one.
  • Time keeping, scheduling. Well thought out time and attendance that is simple to use.
  • Payroll, probably the best feature. The payroll is simple and guides you through the process.
  • Cloud based, nothing to install with excellent security.
  • Reporting - Kronos has an excellent reporting system but it has way too many arbitrary walls. You have to be in the right section to access information which prevents simple reports.
  • Documentation - while the website is intuitive for the basics, pick time, payroll, etc., it is almost impossible to find good documents outside of that (customizing reports, figuring out where a field is, their web services). All lack documents to guide you.
  • Overly busy UI - Kronos Workforce Ready provides lots of ways to do things which is good except each spot does things just a little different. This often leads to confusion for our managers and makes supporting more complex. A simpler UI that always gives the one screen and let us build the extra screens using their reporting system would be better.
  • Report filters seem overly restrictive you can't filter on dynamic data or use one column to filter another.
  • Reduced IT resources
  • Improved payroll
  • Improved time and scheduling.
Better price for the feature set across the whole HR system. But you do trade that for reduced functions for each subsection.
Small to mid-sized simple businesses will love Kronos. It will provide everything they need for HR out of the box. Complex business with multiple business models will find it restrictive and hard to customize.

Price per features.

Kronos Workforce Ready Support

This is a nice system and does more than most full featured HR systems. However, you will often find yourself fighting the system because of strange restrictions on where data can flow.
