Overall Satisfaction with UKG Pro (formerly Ultimate Software UltiPro)

We currently use UltiPro as our HRIS system throughout the entire company. We use UltiPro for reporting, payroll, time tracking, time management, performance reviews, Open Enrollment, Benefits, etc. Human Resources uses UltiPro on the administrative side, but all departments use UltiPro for performance reviews, reporting, time tracking, requesting time off, going through Open Enrollment, and helping new employees to pick their benefits. UltiPro has been a huge time saver across the entire company. We were able to implement UltiPro and get rid of manual paper processes throughout the entire company. Payroll is a much easier process with the implementation of UltiPro. Open Enrollment has been overhauled and has been a huge time saver.

  • System functionality. It would be helpful if you could copy a previous year's Open Enrollment instead of starting from scratch.
  • Costs savings
  • Time savings
  • Consolidating HR administration under a single solution
  • Security and peace of mind
We have saved countless hours with UltiPro and being able to make manual processes electronic. It is easier having all data in one location. Instead of having employee data in many locations, we have it all in one place. It gives you security and a peace of mind knowing that you can set different security roles to give administrators access.
UKG Pro is a really great tool. The reporting and systems are normally always up to par. The only issue we have had lately was a SSO issue where employees had to put in a code every single time they logged into UKG. If there are issues with the system or something is down they communicate it very well.
My direct support is excellent. We have an account manager that is proactive and we meet on a bi-monthly basis. When the merger happened, I would say the Rapid Response support has not been as good. There are long wait times and cases take a week instead of a few days. This could be end of year issues as well.
Our Account Manager is excellent. She is so helpful and proactive in helping our business succeed. She goes above and beyond and uses other resources at UKG to find the answers or help we need. She has helped with multiple detailed and complicated service requests to get our project done timely and efficiently.
I mainly deal with the benefits side of UltiPro and reporting. UltiPro is extremely helpful when wanting to build different reports. It also makes it seamless for employees to pick benefits when they are a new hire and to go through Open Enrollment. We have implemented UltiPro in all categories of Human Resources and it has saved us lots of time in return.

We wanted an all in one system.

UKG Pro (formerly Ultimate Software UltiPro) Implementation

From what I've heard it was mostly good. Some follow- up issues.

Configuring UKG Pro (formerly Ultimate Software UltiPro)

It would be nice to have more plug-ins. But I think it is just right for the HRIS system.
Use your account manager. Also, use the resource center.
Some - we have done small customizations to the interface - We have a few custom interfaces. You work with a team to do so and is pretty straight forward.

Yes - The mobile interface works really well. They keep updating it with each new release so that is a really nice feature.

UKG Pro (formerly Ultimate Software UltiPro) Reliability

We are not using this globally. We are multi-state and works well.
Very good availability. Not many planned outages and issues.

Integrating UKG Pro (formerly Ultimate Software UltiPro)

Integration isn't bad but for API feeds it is a long process. I'm not familiar with technical terms and coding but UKG does a good job of explaining and helping throughout the process.
  • N/A
We have not integrated any other systems. We have only integrated feeds.
  • N/A
We mostly do everything in UKG. We don't have many outside systems.
  • File import/export
  • Single Signon
  • API (e.g. SOAP or REST)
N/A
Integrate as much as possible. Ask questions along the way.

Relationship with UKG

I wasn't involved in this process. But as far as I know good.
I wasn't involved in this process either.
I am giving this rating because we have a poor experience with our initial account manager. Once we received a new account manager we have had an amazing experience!
Ask questions and be involved in the process.
