What differentiates Dayforce from other similar products?

Dayforce HCM includes a number of tools and components that help us expedite our regular procedures and improve the validity of the information posted to our worker’s master files. Its methodologies are a significant advantage and many of our paper work has been done digitally, and we were able to decrease the amount of lost data needed to verify that our employees received appropriate compensation.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

For a long period of time, we've struggled to find a single data source, and distributing relevant data to our top management was a time-consuming manual procedure. Our employees can now use the panels to access data, which is a fantastic bonus for us. Dayforce is user-friendly capability appeals to me and I really enjoy being able to see my data as a user.

What do you dislike most about this product?

New versions can occasionally stomp on customized configuration's foot. While each client has their own test databases to assess the version before it goes live in production, there isn't always sufficient time to thoroughly test the release.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Hire an effective internal project manager to engage with the Ceridian development team, and build time into your BAU process to ensure you have the capabilities you need to fulfill the work plan and timeline. I'd also advise you to double-check your data before transferring it to the new structure.

Pros

  • Continually Improving Product
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity

An excellent human capital management system.

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Dayforce from other similar products?

The high degree of customizability. We constantly need to make modifications with little to no notice because we have four separate union agreements. Dayforce is a great tool, and we like how the newer modules are getting easier to use and configure. Ceridian's implementation team is wise; they listen to your business needs and develop innovative solutions to suit those needs.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The system works perfectly. It works well for individuals who use it frequently, such as HR, payroll, and some managers. Dayforce has a simple, well-designed user interface. During auditing periods, personnel data and document management are easily managed and referenced, allowing for an accurate representation of the organization chart. Ceridian Dayforce has advanced human capital management capabilities that help to keep the employees happy, productive, and successful.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Manual data entry might be time-consuming in some cases. The reporting features are poor and do not provide as much information as we would prefer. Hotfixes can sometimes create serious issues. Because Ceridian does not manage tax accounts, this must be done in-house. It can be challenging to manage the reporting process at times.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Dayforce is a live, simple system that consistently calculates and produces data, resulting in the most accurate outcomes. It's a fantastic HRIS system. Ceridian delivers excellent customer service, but when they hire a third party to complete the implementation, the experience and timing of the performance suffer.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
  • Trustworthy
