Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Configuring your HR policies and rules is straightforward.""Dayforce has transformed how we operate by saving us time, paper, accuracy, money, and the employee/supervisor experience.""It has created efficiencies in HR and Payroll by eliminating double entry into two systems, implementing a time clock feature for hourly employees, and by having a downloadable general ledger (G/L) constructing journal entering for payroll.""The fact that the time and attendance system is built into the HRIS is very valuable because, in the past, we had to use two different systems.""We like being able to hire from the Dayforce recruiting module straight into Dayforce and having the file feeds go to our benefits vendor.""I have not encountered many bugs, and in the rare instances where problems occurred, Ceridian Dayforce HCM promptly fixed them. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.""The initial setup is easy.""The solution's payroll portion is very streamlined."

"The solution's scalability potential is very good. We have more than 1,000 users ourselves.""The most valuable features of the solution are the core HR, absence, payroll, and recruitment modules.""The most valuable feature is the support for mobile devices.""We have not had any issues with the stability of this solution.""We have 35,000 employees in our organization, so we consider the solution to be scalable.""The solution is very good at building out a roadmap based on client needs and feedback.""The most valuable features of Oracle HCM Cloud are the easy ability to customize the solution and applications. Additionally, the solution updates the solution""The solution has good integration with other applications."

Cons
"The solution's initial setup was difficult. Also, the solution's initial deployment took around six months.""The solution has a lot of glitches.""It would be nice if retro pay calculations were made automatically for salaried payroll, so a calculation and manual entry do not have to be done.""Dayforce has its gaps like every HR system, but nothing comes to mind at the moment.""The solution's dashboards and geofencing could be improved.""An area for improvement could be a little more testing before implementing hotfixes to make sure they do not interfere with any active customized products.""One area to be improved is the solution's reporting function, which can be cumbersome.""Management and reporting of the GL costing could be improved."

More Dayforce HCM Cons →

"I would focus on making high volume recruitment more bulky.""An employee needs training to apply for leave, something as simple as that. They shouldn't need training materials or user guides to navigate the system. We're moving towards empowering users, especially with end-user-facing systems. People should be self-reliant and not need to rely on manuals. Oracle HCM Cloud is very old-school in this regard.""I would like to see improvements in the user experience, specifically reducing the number of clicks required to achieve desired outcomes. Additionally, enhancing the look and feel of the front end and allowing for a greater level of configuration would be beneficial. Its pricing should be less.""It's not so easy to customize as it's cloud-based.""Once we are done working on a template, we can't change it unless we create a new one.""The recruitment aspect is good, but it's new and it still needs some enhancements. In the future, we hope it will be similar to Taleo.""Although the performance management is good, it could be improved as its functionality is quite basic.""It could be more user-friendly."
