It aggregates emotional response ratings for various dimensions of the vendor-client relationship and product effectiveness, creating a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and product.

What differentiates Dayforce from other similar products?
I appreciate that Ceridian Dayforce provides comprehensive personnel experience that is individual-centered and aids in our ability to attract, engage, develop, and motivate workers. It gives our employees control over their data, enables them to access it whenever they want, and helps us ensure that our employee data is accurate and up-to-date.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Together, other features are fantastic. Most services are provided through platforms. Thus having numerous platforms is unnecessary. Thanks to Dayforce, I can now accomplish my work much more quickly and effectively. One-stop shopping I adore the ability to develop a sandbox and test modifications before installing the Learning Portal since it enables us to train temporary workers during busier seasons so they can become proficient with Dayforce. Simple to brand to your business.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The primary aspect of this system that annoys me is its reporting module, which requires extra care and effort to complete even a single report and is very challenging to set up and use. Apart from that, we have yet to identify the cause of the integration's inefficiency with other systems, which can occasionally be slow.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Reduce the amount of paperwork that needs to be done. It can be used to manage all tasks in a centralized manner. As well as allowing tax management to be done. There is the opportunity to customize a product so that it meets the needs of the company as well as the convenience of having everything we need in one place for our convenience.

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
