The HR Powerhouse

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Dayforce from other similar products?

Payroll, workforce management, scheduling, compliance tracking… it’s all bundled into one platform. For a talent manager, that’s a big deal because it means fewer systems to juggle when dealing with things like tracking employee performance, managing leave requests, or running payroll reports

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I can see at a glance which teams are thriving and which might need more support. Also, the self-service portal is a nice touch—employees can update their own details, check payslips, and request leave without flooding HR with emails.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Navigating some of the more advanced features feels like solving a puzzle, and new users often need extra training to get up to speed. Also, mobile functionality is hit-or-miss—great for checking schedules but clunky for anything more complex

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Dayforce is worth considering. It works especially well in environments where tracking hours and labor laws matter. But if your team setup is simple, it might feel like overkill.
