Human resources management with Ceridian Dayforce

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Dayforce from other similar products?

We use Ceridian Dayforce for the constant management and order of our human resources department, obtaining a series of benefits that allow us to keep these issues in order, verifying the workforce, performances in even recruiting new employees by verifying their skills through the platform, which helps us save a lot of time and keep our hiring processes optimized.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Payroll and the centralization of different functions in the tool facilitate the work and keep our human staff aware of bonuses, tasks and pending activities which brings as a benefit the increase of productivity among them. It integrates perfectly well with other management systems which deepens our work and provides us with important data within the company.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Performance management sometimes has errors and does not provide real data on billable time of workers which has led us to do it manually, management reports could be more complete, we need much more evaluation data from our staff. Customer support has very long wait times which is frustrating when user concerns arise. It still has a lot of room for growth, but it is a very good software.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It is a very scalable tool that brings a lot of productivity to companies, through its staff recruitment you can add very good employees to projects without the need to spend a lot of time searching for them, it is not possible to obtain customized reports so you have to resort to third parties in these cases, the cost is quite good considering the possibilities offered by the tool.
