What differentiates UKG Pro from other similar products?

Their size helps them to continually offer new features and they use customer feedback to implement the changes most wanted. UKG has fully embraced AI and we are now seeing it in nearly every aspect of the platform.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It is a complete HCM and time management tool with lots of variability and flexibility depending on needs.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Service has been the most consistently poor feature of UKG. Various methods have been instituted to help in this regard but so far, they have yet to come up with the best way to keep customers happy.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

No matter the size of your company, UKG has a system tailor made to help with all aspects of HR. They offer robust solutions and a continually evolving technical platform.

Simply Not User Friendly

3 /10

What differentiates UKG Pro from other similar products?

UKG is surely one of the "major players" in the HRIS world. Ultimately, this is nothing so vastly differentiating it from its peers.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I thought the self-service Employee onboarding portal was well done and we used it very successfully.

What do you dislike most about this product?

This product was just too cumbersome. Layers upon layers of functionality stacked upon each other but with very little intuituve ease of use. There were also many situations where we were simply told by their team "we can't do that". Too many situations where we wanted to see data a certain way or have a certain Employee profile setting and the answer was ultimately "No".

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would tread lightly and proceed with caution. UKG is extremely robust - to its detriment.

Pros

Reliable
Trustworthy
Efficient Service
Respectful

Cons

Less Effective Service
Less Productive
Less Caring
