Dayforce HCM

Vorteile

Ease of use for Payroll staff. end user training is a breeze

Nachteile

Really wish there was a way for employees to run paycheck scenarios within the system so they could see the net effect of changing taxes or picking up additional benefits

Vorteile

Everything is in one place and they are constantly innovating by adding or updating features to manage the changing needs of employers and the workforce. I feel comfortable with their efforts to ensure the highest levels of compliance.

Nachteile

Like every application there are little quirks and malfunctions from time to time. I have found Dayforce support to be helpful in these cases. Also, since it is such a robust system it can take a while to learn your way around, but the community and support portal provide needed resources.

Vorteile

They used to have a very good customer support line, but not anymore.

Nachteile

The product is good and works fine as long as you don't have to deal with their support over the phone.

Vorteile

The dayforce system is very intuitive. The continues calculation is a hot seller for me.

Nachteile

Initially reporting is the feature I liked least but once I'm getting the hang of it, it's not too bad.

Vorteile

The fact that HR and Payroll are linked together in one seamless application. The web interface and mobile app are very well-designed and useful.

Nachteile

Dayforce has an enormous amount of data that can be accessed—so much in fact that finding the right report to include all the data you want can be overwhelming. Not all the data is transferable between reports. For example, Timesheet data is not always able to be included with Payroll data.

Vorteile

I use Dayforce for work and is my new favourite amongst the rostering platforms. Training tasks can be completed from Dayforce and it allows for details about training and upcoming shift information. The homepage layout provides a suitable amount of personalised content regarding upcoming work preventing endless searching. The platform is also easily accessible from the web and the app.

Nachteile

Be weary of any potential extra costs to gain access to extra features

Vorteile

Flexibility and constant innovation. The software is intuitive but does need IT/Financial Analyst support to really have it set up well.

Nachteile

Some things that should be included in the software (basic reports) require that you pay for customization. Not a big fan of the transition from implementation to support. The hand off is very abrupt.

Vorteile

Seamless transition between recruiting to hiring to onboarding to scheduling to payroll. It all works well together.

Nachteile

Dayforce has some limitations for our company but there is always the ability to make suggestions for improvement.

Vorteile

Workflows and HR management system is one of the best I've used.

Nachteile

Support can take a bit of time. Experience level of reps varies widely.

Vorteile

I like that the system is very intuitive and has many modules that we use and connect. We used Dayforce for payroll, benefits, recruiting, performance, compensation, and so on. The system is very user friendly and easy to use.
We also use Dayforce Wallet which is the on demand pay feature and is a huge sucess with our employees.

Nachteile

We struggle occasionally with bugs within certain modules, specifically recruiting. When this happens it's very hard to complete tasks.

Vorteile

The implementation team was very knowledgeable and they listened to what we had and how we wanted to improve the new system. They were so easy to work with.

Nachteile

Wishing that some of the fixed reports would be flexible and could add information that would save us time from having to vlookup different reports together.

Vorteile

The ACA reporting and benefits management.

Nachteile

Not very user friendly on the employee side.

Vorteile

Effective and customizable US timetracking, labor cost features, balance tracking, and payroll processing.

Nachteile

Recruiting/Candidate functions are clunky and not fully integrated in a meaningful way. Forms/workflows require a lot of expertise and trial/error. Majority countries in APAC are not 'native' payroll engines, so there's a lot of rules and parameters, not a lot of flexibility or automation without some out-of-system workarounds.

Vorteile

The live payroll information. Being able to see a moment in time pay check. No wait needed.

Nachteile

The color, it's all white and it gets a little to bright. We need an option to switch to dark mode.

Vorteile

What I liked most is the easy way it kept track of my work hours and when combined with day force daily pay, I always had access to funds if I really needed to.

Nachteile

When dayforce has system updates, you typically are unable to day anything on the program usually for a few hours.

Vorteile

The ease of use and constant updating to make the system better. they have a great conference with great sessions that help you level up your Dayforce knowledge and skills

Nachteile

My frustrations don't really have anything to do with Dayforce program itself. More just keeping myself updated with changes and scope.

Vorteile

The routine basics of setting up payroll including any adjustments for each pay period works smoothly. The audit features in the system highlight issues that should be looked at more closely before committing the pay. I like the export feature within the payroll process and use it to complete most analyses needed.

Nachteile

Other than standard reports, I feel that creating specialized reports has too many complications. I also think that adding/editing the General Ledger setup is too complex.

Vorteile

Dayforce makes it easy to maintain accurate employee information. It also provides easy avenues of two-way communication between the company and its employees.

Nachteile

There is still some functionality that it is missing, though they are constantly working to improve in those areas.

Vorteile

Payroll Module, I can see all data and errors before I commit payroll. We have extremely clean payrolls because of this.

Nachteile

Once a Manager authorized timesheet entries, it doesn’t lock those entries so employees can still make edits after their manager authorizes.

Vorteile

I love that it is one platform for all features.

Nachteile

I wish there were better filtering options in some features.

Vorteile

Although we currently do not have all the features available, Dayforce has allowed for streamlined processes and even automated some processes.

Nachteile

Nothing at this time. I have enjoyed using the software.

Vorteile

Dayforce has an ease of use, moving around the different functions available in the people feature such as Work, Personal, Employment, Payroll, everything you need is at your fingertips

Nachteile

Reports can be difficult to build and sometimes getting the exact information you need all in one report can be cumbersome.

Vorteile

It’s cloud based so it can be accessed from anywhere.

Nachteile

The reporting, however ax compliance, & customer service is something that needs help. The response to issues (always an issue somewhere) is not communicated. They just tell you it’s fixed. It’s difficult to deal with people in another country that don’t understand our laws.

Vorteile

Very comprehensive system and option of using Dayforce Wallet. Excellent Ai features

Nachteile

New system in the market, therefore finding contractors to implement can take longer

Vorteile

The ability to configure changes within the application for our organization.

Nachteile

Dayforce Tax Services does a poor job of partnering with clients. The system does not naturally respect tax jurisdiction reciprocity rules.

Vorteile

Everything is in one application instead of five. The schedules, payroll, recruiting, training, everything is there. So, it's much easier for us to work with Dayforce.

Nachteile

Recruiting module, this module need to be review to be more flexible

Vorteile

Dayforce has all the solutions you need to manage your workforce and keep them engaged. From the core services such as payroll and benefits, to a slew of talent modules to help with recruiting, onboarding, and much more.

Nachteile

Dayforce can be very technical if you want to keep things customized to your company. So having someone on the technical side in your company, managing and maintain configurations may be needed.

Vorteile

The full integration. It is amazing to have all components in a single system. The customization opportunities are a blessing and a curse. It is amazing to truly take the system and make it what you need it to be, but on the flip side, it can be cumbersome to have unlimited options.

Nachteile

Dayforce isn't for everyone. It is a complex system that requires a sys admin that is well versed to manage the day to day operation. If you do not have this and rely on Dayforce for assistance, you will be waiting for a while.

Vorteile

Dayforce has many great features. The HUB is a great new additional in the last 2 years. It provides a great place to house important information easily. Onboarding is really nice and streamlined. It is easy to navigate and set up. If you have the Onboarding HUB, visibly it provides a new start to the candidate experience. I have worked with the Performance and Compensation module the last 3 years and it has a lot of neat functionality and pretty easy to navigate.

Nachteile

Dayforce is very technical. It is nice to know you can build customize forms but not coming from an IT background, trying to learn SQL has been a challenge. There are a lot of nice reports but it is very challenging to set up certain reports utilizing custom fields. Dayforce is constantly enhancing their products but continually to have to pay for each new enhancement the majority of the time is challenging especially coming from a Non-Profit world when we already utilize most of the system.

Vorteile

Fully Integrated HCM solutions with strong integration capabalities

Nachteile

Talent features can be improved to close match best of breed products in the market

Vorteile

The self service and ease of use. That integration with other platforms is possible, however a lot of HRIS needs as catered to through Dayforce itself.

Nachteile

There are a lot of nuances to each individual business and sometimes this cant be catered to. If it is possible, then it usually comes with additional cost to the business.

Vorteile

Dayforce is a robust system overall. I have only been using as an administrator for seven months and was able to quickly learn and become an SME is many different areas across the platform.

Nachteile

WE have 5 separate business entities all under our one Dayforce platform and there are many config settings that are global, which creates issues for us when trying to customize to each entity.

In Poland we have many rules where it comes to vacation, sick leaves and overtime pay etc etc. Clocking in and out is fast and reliable so there is no stress when you enter your work - as it should be. Dayforce also offers nice PoE Android tablets for clock in and clock out with physical RFID tag, very neat solution with simple WebGUI for users and HR

Nachteile

I've been using it daily for almost 3 years now, and haven't had any major issues :)

Vorteile

I love the possibilities of Dayforce. If you have the right partner, you can literally have it do whatever you want.

I dislike the way our system was built from implementation. It's basically a spiderweb behind the scenes.

Vorteile

Customizable software for your specific business needs

Nachteile

Vorteile

I cannot think of a single thing that I like about Dayforce.

Nachteile

Throughout our implementation process, persistent issues plagued our experience with Dayforce. Right from the start, we faced issues with faulty system configuration, including confidential data being accessible to lower level employees. We have been told by support personnel at Dayforce that our system is improperly configured.

Our implementation manager failed to address concerns adequately and failed to conclude the professional relationship officially. Instead, we were left with a slew of unresolved issues and unanswered inquiries. Despite scheduled follow-up meetings, these sessions were repeatedly abandoned by the manager. Frustratingly, after weeks of unanswered emails and our futile attempts at problem-solving, we were told from our implementation manager that she had to get permission to charge more billable hours to us, and that was why she hadn't communicated with us in several weeks.

Seven months post-implementation, our file feeds for benefits remain incomplete. Despite our immediate request following implementation, this crucial aspect of our system has yet to be fully operational. The persistent issues we face significantly hamper our productivity, particularly concerning our convoluted payroll setup. The payroll segment of Dayforce has demonstrated a lack of accountability, particularly evident in their response to our 401(k) compliance challenges, where they offered no satisfactory solutions and essentially shrugged off their responsibilities.

We have given Dayforce several opportunities to rectify their errors, despite our profoundly disappointing experience. Even external stakeholders collaborating with us have expressed sheer astonishment at the abysmal quality of the system, citing unprecedented dissatisfaction in their professional interactions with other clients.

Dayforce's performance has been deeply unsatisfactory, characterized by consistent lapses in competence and professionalism, leaving our organization in a state of perpetual frustration and disappointment as we face unresolved issues that directly impact our functionality and productivity.

Vorteile

Ease of clocking in and authorizing my time.

Nachteile

Receiving code in order to proceed can take a moment, at time

Vorteile

Dayforce HCM is an all-inclusive system that does an excellent job of integrating different HR processes. Payroll, time and attendance, benefits administration, and labor management are all efficiently managed by the centralized system.

Nachteile

The system is powerful, but it takes some time to get it up and running for the first time. The implementation time might be cut in half with better onboarding materials.

Vorteile

Dayforce is an entirely capable product with excellent module flexibility and capability. Dayforce also gives the user ownership and control to customize the product as they prefer for their organization.

Nachteile

The recruiting module could use some overall improvement.

Vorteile

The 1 on 1 meetings with the Dayforce reps onsight allowed me to quickly find a resolution to my OE 2024. I felt like a big weight was lifted when [sensitive content hidden] assisted me with my issues.

Nachteile

I would like to see a way to copy an enrollment in the test environment to production once it has been tested.

Vorteile

It is easy to have employees' clock in and out. Keeping track of hours is so important.

Nachteile

Finding forms can be a little hard to navigate for new users.

Vorteile

Dayforce allows us to house all HR, Payroll, and Benefit information in one place. It offers fun features like HUB, and TeamRelate.

Nachteile

Our industry is complex and team members have many different jobs. Work assignments in Dayforce can be difficult to work with given our complex circumstances.

Vorteile

What I liked most about Dayforce was its ability to streamline attendance tracking and provide detailed reports on staffing metrics. It made monitoring punctuality and shift patterns straightforward, improving overall workforce management. The role I held when using Dayforce was using the data for a reporting perspective and I found it easy and simple.

Nachteile

The thing I liked least about Dayforce was the interface. It sometimes felt a bit cluttered, requiring extra steps to access certain data points, which could slow down the reporting process.

Vorteile

I liked the user friendliness, reliability, variety of excellent features, fairly easy integration, and responsiveness of the company.

Nachteile

There is sometimes a long gap between putting in a service ticket and getting a repair. It seems some of the outsourced IT representatives are not well versed with the software.
