What differentiates Dayforce from other similar products?

The best thing and unique thing about the product that I like about Dayforce is how easy it is to navigate and how well it organizes all of the information. It is simple to navigate our calendar, pay period, holidays, position, and so on.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I had a wonderful experience with this platform and I'll continue further to get more benefits because with time it becomes more powerful than ever by adding new features. Dayforce is a simple web app that my company uses to track our vacation days. It has a simple interface and additional features such as earnings information and related forms. I like how it will email our manager and provide an interface for his approval about requested time off. It greatly simplifies the entire process.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Dayforce could benefit from more robust reporting within the application, but they have recently released a new business intelligence tool to address this need. There are some quirks with the new HTML timesheets. When creating reports or XML forms, advanced knowledge of software engineering is required.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I recommend Ceridian Dayforce because of its efficient scheduling tools. There are numerous filters available to help you narrow down your search. I like the employee progress page and the ability to use questionnaires to help retain employees. Everything is well organized and performed well in all situations and provides a great user experience.
