Overall Satisfaction with UKG Pro
We currently use core, recruiting, and onboarding. We are in the process of rolling it out to our managers so that they can use the recruiting platform. So far, we have identified that it addresses the issue of efficiency. We are able to eliminate printing applications because the managers now have access to viewing applications and/or resumes via UKG. Additionally it has solved the issue of employees asking us for their paycheck stubs. The app is extremely user-friendly and the employees are able to locate information they need via the app as opposed to asking the HR department.
- Recruiting.
- Onboarding.
- Perception.
- Business intelligence.
- As it relates to recruiting, I’d like to see a new way of seeing how many positions the candidate has applied to. For example, I have a candidate that has applied to all three current opportunities and the only way that I am able to view that he has applied to all three opportunities is by clicking on a box within their profile. I’d like to see this improve so that it’s easier for recruiters and hiring managers to view which opportunities the candidate has applied to.
- As a relates to onboarding, I’d like to see rehires have the ability (when completing onboarding) to reselect the previous direct deposit that was activated at the time they were termed.
- It has definitely increased employee engagement. Employees are now excited to use this new feature.
- The interactions between human resources employees has decreased because now they are able to get the information they need via UKG.
- Less paper
The customer service and the product/services. ADP was never able to fix anything and it took multiple days sometimes weeks to get back to us on issues. Paycom wasn’t but the platform definitely wasn’t as robust as UKG.

Would you buy UKG Pro again?
Yes
During implementation, I felt like every person that I connected with provided exceptional customer service. I remember when I was working on implementing onboarding. The rep that was helping went on maternity leave as we wrapped up and during her maternity leave she sent me a picture of her baby because we had bonded and connected so much during implementation phase. Also, Susana who helped me implement life events was extremely sweet and helpful. I appreciate having those types of relationships with the people that support me the most behind the scenes.
UKG Pro Feature Ratings
Upgrading UKG Pro
- We experienced some of the same things. No need added benefits.
- None. We have everything we need.
UKG Pro Training
The product was easy to learn with the training that's provide by UKG.
- Online training
Using UKG Pro
500 - 10-15 manager use it for recruiting and TOA and the employees (500) use it for self-serve.
2 - The HR Director and VP of Finance are the two that manage on an on-going basis.
- Payroll
- Recruitment
- Onboarding
- The biggest thing for us adopting an electronic process for vacation and sick leave request. We previously were still using paper forms.
- Another big thing for us was eliminating the need to print packets for new hire paperwork. All paperwork being electronic saves time and money!
- Using BI more-- we still haven't been able to tackle that
- Using perception for feedback
Evaluating UKG Pro and Competitors
Yes - ADP. Lack of customer support.
- Price
- Product Features
- Product Usability
The price was a big deal for us because we are a small company and we don't have a lot budgeted for a HRIS.
I wouldn't have changed anything, everything worked out.
UKG Pro Implementation
Yes - From what I remember there was implementation for all of the different platforms-- core, recruitment, onboarding, benefit, performance mgmt.
- There was only a team of 2 for implementation, but the silver lining was that we implemented in 2020 during the peak of COVID so the company was a standstill.
- Implemented in-house
Configuring UKG Pro
No, we are a fairly small and easy company so that assisted with making it less complex.
Some - we have done small customizations to the interface - Super easy to do. Plus a lot of this was done during implementation.
