"UKG allows us to customize our home screen so that we can easily monitor important items on a daily basis."
"It enables us to manage the system ourselves. We don't need an additional team to do a lot of maintenance and add the things that we want."
"It is much easier to use and the customer service is better than our previous solution."
"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."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be business intelligence and Cognos reporting."
"In future releases, it would be useful to see reporting lines of all the team members in our business to understand who reports to whom."
"training and performance could be improved."
"Meta4 could improve by allowing users to manage things by themself."
"The user interface could be improved and the maintenance is complex when it comes to upgrades."
"The HR portal, training model, and development career model could all use improvement. Stability and scalability should be improved as well."

"The solution is a little bit slow."
"The HR portal, training model, and the development career model all need improvement."
"One area where UKG could improve is in its ability to understand its own competency and then work hard to improve it."
"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"I would like the capability to use UKG as a single platform without the need to alternate between systems."
"Certainly, the time and attendance and the payroll integration need a lot of work. They are disjointed pieces, and they don't work smoothly together. That's the main drawback."
