Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We used the solution to do a lot of performance management during the review cycle and it helped us alleviate the administrative burden.""Our employee benefits enrollment is managed through Ceridian Dayforce, which makes for a limited manual process.""It provides real-time information with great reports.""The tool has improved a lot in the area of its mobile application, especially considering its added security features, like single sign-on capabilities.""We have been able to automate many of our manual processes.""Ceridian Dayforce HCM is a stable product.""The integrated time clock has provided efficiencies in payroll, as we no longer have to decipher handwritten time sheets and input them into the system.""The fact that the time and attendance system is built into the HRIS is very valuable because, in the past, we had to use two different systems."

More Dayforce HCM Pros →

"The solution offers good benefits for administrators.""The Talent Acquisition and Headhunting features are good.""It is easy to use. Requisition management and pre-screening are the two most valuable features.""The solution is stable and reliable.""Performance and goal management are good to have, based on certain client requirements where the user base isn't too large, but the most workable domain of Taleo is the recruiting module.""The stability of the solution is good.""Good integration capabilities and extensibility."

Cons
"Management and reporting of the GL costing could be improved.""Our current software program offers a home page with important company documents and a place for company announcements. Unfortunately, Ceridian Dayfoce does not offer this.""It would be nice if retro pay calculations were made automatically for salaried payroll, so a calculation and manual entry do not have to be done.""The solution's dashboards and geofencing could be improved.""I would like to see more built-in forms. This would save a lot of time during the year-end process.""The solution has a lot of glitches.""An area for improvement could be a little more testing before implementing hotfixes to make sure they do not interfere with any active customized products.""I would also like to see some improvement in standard reports. A standard report should be available to pull the required information for Affirmative Action Plans. I do not think I should have to build or create one."

More Dayforce HCM Cons →

"The pricing could be improved.""Lacks some systems that we need.""The bulk recruitment feature does not work well.""I don't see very valuable features in this product because it has an old way of interpreting ATS. It should be more flexible in managing datasets and data searches. The screening data is a long process in Taleo.""There are always going to be little caveats here and there that you might not have known about as far as changes are concerned, however, it's not business-oriented to the point where the business shuts down.""In terms of Oracle Taleo as a product, there are a lot of things which can be developed; most feedback which I have heard from customers is about the dashboard and the home page, both of which are quite basic.""It would be ideal if we could integrate the solution with Olympia. It would be helpful if we could add another support desk for an IT person. It would be great if the product was more interdisciplinary and could include IT."
