What differentiates UKG Pro from other similar products?

Best of breed in HR and Payroll from legacy Ultimate Software paired with best of breed time and attendance from legacy Kronos leaves a powerful tool. The BI reporting is intuitive and robust. The customer community and learning tools are first class. Great support of the UKG team. Mobile app is easy to use for associate self service and the processes are easy to use for our Payroll and HR team members. Integrations have been developed for our benefits and RRSP matching vendors. System works well for even for a very complicated ownership structure and data structure like ours.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

intuitive user screens for all levels of users and technical ability.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Very minor: there is only one setting for system time outs across all user groups. Not able to differentiate between a power user in Payroll/HR versus a front line worker on how long the system can be inactive before timing out and locking.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Make sure your team is prepared prior to implementation and that your data is cleansed before implementing.
