Great payroll auditing tools

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Dayforce from other similar products?

The tool is doing what we expect from it. First and foremost it has a clean interface and allows us to request and communicate time off clearly and effectively.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Ceridian has an easy-to-use interface and is relatively simple in doing what it is supposed to do to track an employee's time. It's a time saver as it saves me time when looking for personal information. It's great and I love to have everything in a unified place. Everything is in one place, from payroll to time-off requests.

What do you dislike most about this product?

My complaint is less about Ceridian as a platform and more about the support team's lack of cohesiveness. I believe that the importance and quality of communication and follow-through vary greatly from case to case. The system has a plethora of features that must be customized by a consultant.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I recommend Ceridian Dayforce to anyone looking for a great time clock solution. The system has a lot of flexibility and functionality. The user interface is extremely user-friendly and the system is well-liked by both current and new employees. I had an excellent experience with it therefore I believe others have the same experience with it.
