From my perspective, there are no significant downsides to UKG, as it is currently the leading solution in workforce management. Mostly, UKG is used in manufacturing industries. One area where UKG could improve is in its ability to understand its own competency and then work hard to improve it. In the future, I would like to see more applications integrated into UKG, as currently, it operates on SQL and Boomi platforms. It would be good if it could be an open-source platform.
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.

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. Tthere aren't very many of us that use UKG Dimensions and UKG Pro. Our main dream is that the two will truly become one because right now they're two separate entities, two separate software packages. We still have to do integrations between the two. If they would merge fully it would be wonderful.

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.

There are some improvements needed as it's still a growing technology. Improvements with regard to some of its functionality need to be extended out a little bit further. 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.
