What differentiates Dayforce from other similar products?

We had two payroll systems, a time entry system, and an HRIS. We were able to integrate them into Dayforce by synchronizing our systems with our colleagues in the United States. Because we now have uniform auditing features across the board, the payroll process is significantly more efficient and precise. Furthermore, using WFM, we may utilize a flat system (no imports) for our hourly population, which decreases the possibility of mistakes even further. We will also be moving forward with the Dayforce Benefits module in the near future.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The capability of standardizing payroll, TAFW, and WFM processes across multiple global regions. This, combined with a Shared Service model, has enabled us to provide backups for our administrators who work from all over the world.

What do you dislike most about this product?

One of the drawbacks of Ceridian Dayforce is the FMLA and HR Incident management tools. FMLA dating that is systematic vs. manual is harder to handle. HR Incidents are a basic model that can only be maintained by HR as opposed to parts accessible to managers.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I appreciate how they are always upgrading and adding things. The way the modules interact with one another has improved significantly over time. The user interface is outstanding, and it provides an interesting environment for employees. The new 'Hub' implementation has been a huge success, and it is highly adaptable. It is very simple to use for end users.

Pros

  • Continually Improving Product
  • Enables Productivity
  • Efficient Service
  • Inspires Innovation

Cons

  • Less Caring
  • Less Transparent

10 /10

What differentiates Dayforce from other similar products?

The ability to configure the system to meet your business needs, and the ability to participate in the online customer community to crowd-source any potential issues or questions.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The ability to be hands-on with the configuration, and always having access to a 'Test' database to try them out.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The inability to write our own SQL topics for custom reporting.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Be prepared! If you don't have the right people on your implementation team, you won't have a successful implementation. You also need to be prepared to be hands-on in the administration and maintenance of the Dayforce instance for your company.
