What differentiates UKG Pro from other similar products?

What differentiates UKG Pro from other similar products is the ability to configure the system the way that works for you rather than adjusting your business needs to fit the product. Also, the resources available for learning an training and the community of users that are always collaborating together and working together to make sure everyone is successful!

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect of UKG Pro

What do you dislike most about this product?

What I dislike most about UKG Pro is the time it takes to resolve a payment services or tax related case. This seems to be a weak point that could really use some attention.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

My recommendation for someone considering this product would be to invest the time and resources during the implementation to ensure your team is well trained, you understand the product, and ensuring you set up the system the way you want it to work best for you! This is a huge investment financially, be sure to invest the time needed to set it up accurately. You have the dedicated experts right there, use them and you will be setting yourself up for success from the start!

Pros

Helps Innovate

What differentiates UKG Pro from other similar products?

One of the few HRIS systems out there where you can truly get a 1 pane view for everything you need in your day. ATS - Termination and everything in between.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

has standard out of the box set up with the additional layer of business customization that you need.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Horrible customer support when it goes above and beyond what you know. Wish there would be more opportunity to work directly with the developers and product teams as things seem super simple to fix or improve but takes 3+ years to make it seem possible to happen.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

make sure that you have a strong tech knowledge and when you learn it, save it cause it will be hard to find it again. Once you make the connections with other customers, or find key individuals that know their UKG stuff there is a world of knowledge at your fingertips and things that you can constantly learn that will make the day to day life of the HR or payroll person easier.

Pros

Performance Enhancing
Helps Innovate
Enables Productivity
Unique Features

Cons

Wastes Time
Less Friendly Negotiation
Less Efficient Service

What differentiates UKG Pro from other similar products?

We have been with UKG since 2012-2013, prior to the merger of Ultimate and Kronos, so we have felt the ups and major downs of the customer service. I was not a part of the implementation, so I can't compare it with other products.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

From an Employee end-user perspective, I think the system is fairly simple to navigate.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Being an Admin, I would like more control over modifying Data feeds, Interfaces, etc. I should have to pay just to have a few deduction codes added and/or removed from a feed.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Do you due diligence.

Pros

Respectful
Efficient Service
Effective Service
Caring
