"The initial setup is easy."
"It has created efficiencies in HR and Payroll by eliminating double entry into two systems, implementing a time clock feature for hourly employees, and by having a downloadable general ledger (G/L) constructing journal entering for payroll."
"The time capture from time cards to charging to projects has greatly improved because it is now all automated and flows into the GL very easily."
"Statutory holiday pay is calculated automatically."
"Ceridian Dayforce HCM is a stable product."
"Employees like being able to see what entitlements/balances that they have for their time away."
"The implementation was through a team assigned to us by Ceridian. They were extremely knowledgeable and it made the implementation go very smoothly."
"Overall, it's excellent performance management."
"This solution can be used for reporting related to employee information and contacts"
"It is a scalable solution."
"One of the most wonderful features is the ability to customize the modules and workflows. So far, we've done a fair bit of customization and it is helping us a lot and really adds to the value we already get from SuccessFactors."
"The interface is user-friendly. It is very simple and intuitive, so it's good."
"SuccessFactors' best features are talent management and HR Analytics."
"This solution has always been stable for me."
"The most valuable features of SAP SuccessFactors are onboarding, recruiting, marketing, and performance."
"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."
"One area to be improved is the solution's reporting function, which can be cumbersome."
"Dayforce has its gaps like every HR system, but nothing comes to mind at the moment."
"The solution's dashboards and geofencing could be improved."
"Management and reporting of the GL costing could be improved."
"I would like the solution to improve its customer service communication."
"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."
"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."
"The data management part can be improved in terms of how you can manage data from the HR admin's or HR team's perspective. It has some limitations in the reporting part in terms of how you can update the data and fetch the data. SAP HCM comparatively has a lot of capabilities in terms of backup loads, data management, data changes, etc. You can do these things easily, which is not the case with SAP SuccessFactors. Data management should be simplified in SAP SuccessFactors in terms of accessing the data, reporting, and then manipulating the data."
"Some of the screens aren't that user-friendly, older employees especially have a hard time with it. They have some problems with it."
"The SAP SuccessFactors integration with old versions can improve. We are using an older finance module but we are having migration issues."
"We lack information regarding how to build a network."
"They should be more user friendly and give us more tools to make it more flexible."
"SAP SuccessFactors could improve the integration. It is not simple to integrate and it needs to be made easier."
"SAP SuccessFactors functionality doesn't meet the expectation of our end users. There are other solutions that have better functionality, such as Workday, which is one of the top applications. Additionally, the solution could be easier to use."
"There have been cases involving a lot of re-implementations and frustrations within clients where they have the workbook sessions, the workbook workshops and things like that. And I think that doesn't really go down well because the workbooks are very technical and, a lot of times, very confusing for the client."
