Overall Satisfaction with UltiPro

UltiPro is being used across the whole organization for payroll, HRIS, time and attendance and reporting. Without the solution we would not be able to report on demographics, effectively pay our associates or track time.
  • UltiPro very effectively processes payroll. The configuration ability related to earnings, time etc., is wonderful.
  • UltiPro Business Intelligence reporting function is very straightforward and user-friendly. New users can easily pick up on reporting functionality.
  • Customer Service, more specifically the need for more reps to handle day to day issues.
  • Response time related to customer service requests, or tickets. Our average wait time for response or resolution has been up to 4 days.
  • Time and Attendance configuration and functionality. System functionality that mirrors payroll.
  • Security and peace of mind
Yes, we have realized time savings related to utilizing UltiPro, our payroll processes have been consolidated, standardized and optimized based on following the UltiPro payroll models.

We are also able to realize an increased level of security based on role administration.
UltiPro hands down beats all the products listed when it comes to functionality, configuration, and out of the box usability. The only area where UltiPro loses ground is the customer service area.
As an overall HCM system, UltiPro is great for a company looking for a system to handle the basic time and attendance needs and configurable payroll functions.

Companies looking for highly configurable time and attendance solutions, that tie well with payroll will need a more robust timekeeping system.

Yes - ADP WorkForce Now
More customization needed
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Product Reputation
  • Analyst Reports
  • Third-party Reviews
Without being able to customize the features our company would have continued to look for a usable product.

UltiPro Support

A lot of black holes
Ball dropped on multiple cases
Live support results in ticket creation 9 out of 10 times.
ProsCons
Knowledgeable team
Support cares about my success
Not kept informed
Escalation required
Difficult to get immediate help
Slow Initial Response
Our AM was able to work with us when we experienced a delay in getting our year end tax file. The delay would have resulted in additional fees, his research on our account made the difference.
