AP
Human Resource Manager at a manufacturing company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Chatbot has organized HR queries and has improved employee experience and self-service
The best feature that Leena AI offers is that it improves daily. Everything is improving with Leena AI, especially with enhancements in integrations, analytics, and the addition of AI in chatbots that help personalize content and provide relevant answers to end users based on past experiences from other companies. I worked in Human Resources and managed only the human resources section of Leena AI. Currently, Leena AI has also onboarded smart integration with WhatsApp, Teams, and Outlook, which is a valuable feature to have. Leena AI has positively impacted my organization since I implemented it in 2022 during COVID, as it organized messages from management and recruiters for 25,000 employees, helping to check their wellbeing while circulating important messages. After implementing Leena HR chatbot recently, workflows were streamlined. Queries that previously took five, six, or ten days to resolve are now managed under SLA, significantly improving employee experience. The improvements include an increase in resolution times. Since Leena AI is a growing chatbot, information that was previously scattered is now centralized, improving employee experience from 70% to 90% according to our survey.
Streamlined time tracking boosts operational efficiency across multiple regions
The time tracking feature is the most effective for employee management. UKG is used in Europe, the United States, Australia, and East Asian countries for HR activities like payroll. The application is like an ERP, providing comprehensive features for organizations, simplifying their processes, and reducing the need to use multiple software solutions.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Leena AI has impacted my organization positively because its cost management is low, its responses are faster, and it scales easily."
"Leena AI has positively impacted my organization by improving employee productivity through automating repetitive HR, IT, and finance tasks, so instead of employees writing and waiting for support teams, they receive instant assistance through AI, which reduces response time, lowers operational costs, improves employee satisfaction, and allows support teams to focus on more strategic work."
"After implementing Leena HR chatbot recently, workflows were streamlined, queries that previously took five, six, or ten days to resolve are now managed under SLA, significantly improving employee experience."
"Leena AI has positively impacted my organization by improving the efficiency of employees who were earlier not aware where to go to submit their HR-related queries."
"Ultimate is cute and fun."
"Our organization has been able to provide more accurate reporting as well as multiple dashboards with ease."
"The tool improved employee onboarding efficiency, especially in healthcare, where timely onboarding is crucial. This change directly impacted retention rates positively. It was a massive project that involved various teams working together. It took about a year to revamp the entire process and ensure compliance. However, once implemented, it improved employee satisfaction by saving them two whole days in the onboarding process."
"Immediate data and reporting Reliable (based on parameters given)"
"At my past companies, UltiPro has improved service delivery to employees, streamlined processes, improved efficiencies, and given time back to employees."
"Customer service is very good when you get their attention."
"Pricing and licensing met the needs of the company."
"The solution's UI is good. Also, it is very easy to use."
 

Cons

"Leena AI can be improved if we are able to automate all the questions rather than only common questions available."
"Customer support for Leena AI is very good, but it takes a lot of turnaround time to come back and resolve the questions, queries, or issues."
"Leena AI can be improved by reducing manual work to achieve faster response times."
"Export of time takes too much time; would like to be able to push through some changes once we open payroll; would like to "undo" an import after submit and calc without having to start over from the start; benefits feeds; negative deduction refunds without earnings and improved communication from Ulti to tax filing."
"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."
"Change how the drop boxes work so you can do them faster."
"We had many issues with carrier connection."
"Customer Support model could use improvement."
"I would like to see more functionality in the next release to be able to get hours and dollars per calendar month rather than just by payroll in the Business Intelligence reports."
"We did encounter deployment issues. This was our first year using the printing services, and our W-2s were done incorrectly for three of our states."
"One area where UKG could improve is in its ability to understand its own competency and then work hard to improve it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"If you're going for the full suite, it can be fairly pricey."
"The pricing depends on the number of licenses we buy."
"UKG's pricing and licensing model involves ongoing expenses based on the number of employees paid. The initial implementation cost is low when UKG implements it directly. However, when partners handle the implementation, it becomes more expensive since partners don't receive the monthly recurring fees."
"I wasn't involved in the pricing part. I'm a user, and I believe it is based on the user count. One thing that is nice about Ultimate is that you can learn how to use the system without additional fees. The learning aspect is the life of a product, and the training was a huge reason why we went with Ultimate. We did have some integration costs. They were a part of the implementation because of the integrations to other systems that we included in our implementation."
"The platform is not affordable but also not the most expensive."
"While I am unsure of the licensing cost itself, the total cost of implementation and licensing for a company with over 5000 employees would be around 6,00,000. So, there are additional costs beyond licensing."
