What differentiates UKG Pro from other similar products?

Overly complicated, lacks intuitiveness, clearly different systems taped together with lack of consistent user experience, frustrating, overly priced, and customer support that lacks knowledge and urgency. Poor mobile experience as well. Little user adoption. Poor experience for administrators.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I don’t think there’s anything I could say that I , anyone on my HR team, or any of the employees or business leaders enjoy about this product. Maybe, the organizational charts are the only functionality that is worthy of mentioning.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Almost everything about the system, I dislike from the implementation experience to the administrator training experience and everything that follows. The system is not intuitive, it does not provide a consistent or friendly, simple user experience, it’s overly complicated, and overly priced with poor customer support. The mobile apps are also crappy. The Sales team oversells the product and they do not deliver.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Turn and run. Don’t believe their sales team. The product is awful and has created a burden on my HR team, but we’re stuck in an overly price contract. Go to Rippling.

Cons

Inhibits Innovation
Slower Product Innovation
Less Reliable

What differentiates UKG Pro from other similar products?

UKG is surely one of the "major players" in the HRIS world. Ultimately, this is nothing so vastly differentiating it from its peers.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I thought the self-service Employee onboarding portal was well done and we used it very successfully.

What do you dislike most about this product?

This product was just too cumbersome. Layers upon layers of functionality stacked upon each other but with very little intuituve ease of use. There were also many situations where we were simply told by their team "we can't do that". Too many situations where we wanted to see data a certain way or have a certain Employee profile setting and the answer was ultimately "No".

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would tread lightly and proceed with caution. UKG is extremely robust - to its detriment.

Pros

Reliable
Trustworthy
Efficient Service
Respectful

Cons

Less Effective Service
Less Productive
Less Caring

What differentiates UKG Pro from other similar products?

Connectivity to third-party systems, including accounting and ERP software. Tax and labor regulations are continually updated. A mobile application that allows you to view information remotely. Automation of workflows to reduce manual work.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I prefer UKG Pro for career development plans, performance reviews, onboarding, and hiring. I am able to create and oversee employee perks, such as savings and insurance plans.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Response times for customer service might differ by location.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I suggest UKG Pro as both administrators and staff find it easy to use. You can have access to updated reports and real-time data improves decision making.
