Overall Satisfaction with UKG Pro

we use UKG Pro to process payroll across different companies, dealing with different states and jurisdiction. The issue with UKG Pro is it's not user friendly, the lack of customer support, and overall platform is not good. While there might be other modules to add or enhance the features. It doesn't appear worth adding modules when the basic ones do not work for us. In my experience, the customer support is near zero with being directed to a community support page to look up how other people answered the question, search and find the solution self, with help tickets being closed autoamtically with out resolution

Pros

  • journal entires
  • sales
  • upselling

Cons

  • customer support- not closing tickets when no resolution has been made
  • running reports
  • uploading GL maping
  • increased employee headaches
  • increased payroll processing times
  • issues with journal entry mapping updates
processing payroll and that's it. The concept of utulziing UKG Pro for hr functions wasn't looked into further due to not connecting to other systems, lack of support, and the contact upselling of new systems or modules needed for that feature. When the current features we had we not working for us. I would not recommend UKG Pro
We had help tickets open regarding GL maping in a report ran. The ticket was closed 3 times without resolution. The first time we thought okay maybe it was a mistake. Then we sent an email and they confirmed no it was closed but they couldn't tell why. So instead of reopening it they instructed us to open a new ticket. This helped their ratios of support tickets. That new ticket was closed after a follow up email was sent asking for an update. So no response to the email, ticket closed, and no help was provided.
I think ADP is a lot easier to use and function within. While the GL maping is seperate done at employee level which is more time consuming. In my experience, the customer support seems better than UKG Pro. So far ADP points you to community support and training videos but actual person support is available and has been helpful.

Do you think UKG Pro delivers good value for the price?

No

Are you happy with UKG Pro's feature set?

No

Did UKG Pro live up to sales and marketing promises?

No

Did implementation of UKG Pro go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy UKG Pro again?

No

good for running payroll liabiliy reports, processing payroll and cutting payroll checks. However if there's an issue or new training, in my opinion, good luck getting support. They direct you to a community learning center where others provide their solutions. In our experience, it's a searching game looking for the answer you need versus calling support and getting the answer directly. They also, in our experience, close help tickets without addressing them. This happened multiple times to us.
