We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Good solution if you want simple, static systems.""Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""If someone wants a good payroll system with a good presence in the APAC region and Europe, then without a doubt, ADP GlobalView Payroll falls at the top of the list of best tools."

"It is much easier to use and the customer service is better than our previous solution.""The solution's UI is good. Also, it is very easy to use.""UKG allows us to customize our home screen so that we can easily monitor important items on a daily basis.""The product's most valuable feature is the ability to establish connectivity between the front and the back end, particularly the single point of data entry, to minimize mistakes.""I have found the most valuable feature to be business intelligence and Cognos reporting.""We use the tool for various functions, including payroll, HR, recruiting, onboarding, and workforce management. We've implemented all these modules across all the clients I've worked with.""I like UKG's integration.""The employee self-service feature is most valuable. This is the restaurant industry, and they have a mobile app that allows employees to go in and manage their data. So, employees can manage direct deposit accounts, emergency contacts, and other things in the app. That's definitely the biggest benefit."

Cons
"With big companies, it takes a long time to run when it comes to the reporting part.""The portal where employees log in to check their weekly tax statements is called ADP ESS, an area where improvements are needed.""Projects tend to take longer because ADP wants to manage everything."

"UKG could be a little more flexible in some areas.""One area where UKG could improve is in its ability to understand its own competency and then work hard to improve it.""The solution could improve by simplifying it even more core reports, such as more sample reports, more generic reports that you can edit and improve on yourself.""UKG has complex clock-in and clock-out features. It changes things too often, and it feels like the tool is constantly changing things without testing before implementing changes in production. Additionally, it doesn't communicate these changes very well.""The solution could use better reporting with standard reports. We use the Cognos platform in BI for a lot of our reporting. However, they need to have more robust standard reporting available to their user base.""The platform's features need enhancement while being used as a recruiting tool.""Reporting is always a hurdle for any user just because it is so extensive. They provide a lot of out-of-the-box reports, but it is something that you always need to work on because you need more advanced writing of reports.""The navigation on the screen could be better. Sometimes, I have to dig a little bit deep to find what I need. Everything is there. It just needs to be a little bit smoother."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I believe that ADP GlobalView Payroll is an expensive solution."
  • "If users consider the license of the solution, then it is an expensive tool."
  • More ADP GlobalView Payroll Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I wasn't involved in the pricing part. I'm a user, and I believe it is based on the user count. One thing that is nice about Ultimate is that you can learn how to use the system without additional fees. The learning aspect is the life of a product, and the training was a huge reason why we went with Ultimate. We did have some integration costs. They were a part of the implementation because of the integrations to other systems that we included in our implementation."
  • "While I am unsure of the licensing cost itself, the total cost of implementation and licensing for a company with over 5000 employees would be around 6,00,000. So, there are additional costs beyond licensing."
  • "UKG's pricing and licensing model involves ongoing expenses based on the number of employees paid. The initial implementation cost is low when UKG implements it directly. However, when partners handle the implementation, it becomes more expensive since partners don't receive the monthly recurring fees."
  • "The platform is not affordable but also not the most expensive."
