How to read the Emotional Footprint
The Net Emotional Footprint measures high-level user sentiment towards particular product offerings. 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.
While purchasing decisions shouldn't be based on emotion, it's valuable to know what kind of emotional response the vendor you're considering elicits from their users.

Ceridian Dayforce resolves time management issues

What differentiates Dayforce from other similar products?
This application shortens the time it takes to switch from one application to another. I no longer require the use of a physical time clock. The application allows me to request time off directly. We have saved a lot of time by allowing employees to fill out their own profiles instead of manually filling out their profiles. Employee time and attendance, as well as requests for time off. It is preferable to have a system keep track of this rather than an access database.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
What I like best about this software is how simple and intuitive it is to use. Dayforce virtual assistant is extremely beneficial, particularly if you are new to the platform. With this platform, employee scheduling, including part-time employees, becomes much more organised. I like the employee progress page and the ability to use questionnaires to help retain employees. It's simple to use and helps me keep track of my time at work. It also allows me to request time off.
What do you dislike most about this product?
I don't like how it occasionally logs me out of the system after a few minutes. It occasionally goes down for extended periods of time with no explanation. When this occurs, it affects both our stores and our in-office users. It is usually quickly resolved. Customer service support costs can be prohibitively expensive.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Dayforce virtual assistant is extremely beneficial, particularly if you are new to the platform. The most significant impact on our company has been the ease of use and automation. This makes it simple to request time off or check your benefits. It's very convenient to have everything in one place.

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.
