Overall Satisfaction with UKG Pro (formerly Ultimate Software UltiPro)

We use Core with UKG Pro (formerly Ultimate Software UltiPro), which is used across our entire organization as our HRIS platform. We process payroll and manage benefits, among other things.
  • Payroll
  • Management of information
  • Benefits
  • Ease of administration of the platform
  • Excellent customer service
  • They are improving the mobile app
  • UKG has already rolled out more robust benefits capabilities with Benefits Prime
  • We are currently managing most of our HR activities with one platform; there is one area where we are not currently managed with UKG Pro (formerly Ultimate Software UltiPro), but we hope to switch over within the next 12-24 months
  • I cannot speak more highly of a system

UltiPro was in place when I came to Thompson in 2017. I loved the system immediately though, and that is why we engaged Ultimate Software Group for the Benefits Prime product. If I had my way, we would have every single HR function in one place with UKG Pro (formerly Ultimate Software UltiPro).

Other systems I have used are not as user friendly. I feel that UKG Pro (formerly Ultimate Software UltiPro) is intuitive to use, the information is organized in a manner that anyone, no matter how much experience they have using the system, can find the data they need. The reporting is user friendly. I work a lot in our Benefits Prime system, and being able to have that much information at my fingertips is more than helpful!

The system seems to always work--no downtime like other systems in the past. Ultimate seems to integrate with just about everyone! When other software companies call on us and ask us what platform we are using, they do not bother calling back once we tell them we are with Ultimate. That speaks volumes.
Their customer service is unmatched in my opinion.

I can think of multiple times. Our first year using Benefits Prime for open enrollment, we were in a pinch--it was basically the final hour and we needed to have something handled so we could go live with OE that following morning. I reached out to a sales contact at Ultimate and our contacts--even in sales, which has nothing to do with our day-to-day--wasted no time helping.

When we have run into payroll issues, the rapid response team has always been there to help our team through.

Our partners at Ultimate make us feel like we matter--they make us feel like we are family, part of their team, and that what we say matters to them. All of their service is exceptional.

I have used many systems and the best by far in my opinion is UKG Pro (formerly Ultimate Software UltiPro). You do not have to have any formal training to pick up the system and run with it--the platform is very user friendly. And the customer service is unmatched in my opinion. Other vendors truly could learn a lot from Ultimate Software Group about how to approach and listen to the needs of your customers.
