Sr HRIS Analyst at a real estate/law firm with 201-500 employees
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 very user-friendly, and the configuration is relatively easy to do. Its user interface is very easy to use.
They also have surveys. They have a feature called Focus that has artificial intelligence that you can use for analysis or surveys for engagement. They're continuing to push the envelope for new advancements with features like AI. They keep on making leaps and bounds. They have rolled out additional features that help with all of the mandates. They did that quickly and provided that service for all of those different states that have different requirements for vaccine mandates. They continue to make different things to help us be more agile. They are constantly making things available to their users.

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 like UKG's integration.
View full review »The integrated business intelligence tool (IBM Cognos) is by far the absolute best reporting tool I have ever used in my 15 years of being in HR. The tasks that can be accomplished in Report Studio, plus the delivered reports that Ultimate has already put together, can allow any user, HR or otherwise, to make an instant impact.
Ultimate Software also provides organizations with the ability to make a positive impact from the very beginning of the employee life cycle. From recruiting and onboarding, employee self-service and benefits enrollment, performance management and career development, organizations can create a meaningful employee experience that will last throughout their career.
The UltiPro application will also work to create efficiencies that will make any-size HR department the hero of the organization.
View full review »The most valuable features of Ultipro for our organization are onboarding, salary planning, and reporting.

The payroll functionality allows for immediate correcting of pay stubs. Business Intelligence reporting is extensive and easy to use.
View full review »Although it is vastly different from its earlier siblings, its organization of work places is now much easier since you can cluster everything on one central page. Being a lover of the clock world especially, I can now open WDM and have the setup of clocks together; no paging back anymore. I can keep them both open at once; a huge time saver.

The system is quite user-friendly. UKG allows us to customize our home screen so that we can easily monitor important items on a daily basis. It provides information on missing punches, and flagging instances where an employee takes a longer lunch or a short break. I believe these are valuable features of the system.

I have found the most valuable feature to be business intelligence and Cognos reporting.
It's very easy to use for a report writer, I've used it a lot of different solutions and this solution is by far the simplest one to use. They do a really good job with it.

View full review »I love UltiPro. We have been a customer since 2004. At one point, we had nearly all of the modules, but our management made a decision to move to other solutions for Recruiting and Compensation Planning. This was primarily due to the availability of advanced features at that time. I'd love to have them take another look at UltiPro once those contracts come up for renewal in 2019.
View full review »I find the easy-to-use administrator interface very valuable in training and orientation of new payroll associates. We have leveraged the Business Intelligence module highly and find it the best reporting solution available.
View full review »We are a relatively new user so we are still learning the product. I have found the compensation management module to be very valuable and time saving. It eliminates a great deal of manual work and helps us stay within our budget. In addition, it helps as we integrate our pay ranges into the tool and provides guidance on how to administer based on range position and performance scores.

The fact that I can see the whole HR information in a single point is valuable. There is a unified view of everything, which is good. Previously, we had many different systems for each part of the information. Now, it is all centralized. It is very good.

Chief Executive Officer at a manufacturing company with 201-500 employees
The solution has been working really well with the company for a while. Overall, the entire solution is helpful for our purposes.
It's so easy to use and the reporting is very nice as well.
The integrations between different parts of the system are perfect. They're easy to work with. For example, the master file records and payroll integrate well with GL, the onboarding, the recruiting modules. etc. They all talk to each other and work with each other very well and that's very important for us. This is the opposite of, for example, ADP, where they're a little bit separate and the have separate maintenance. However, basically, it's a one-stop shop.
The biggest advantage is it saves us a lot of money because it's so easy to use and it streamlines protocol for us.
