JM
Learning Solution Architect at a recruiting/HR firm with self employed
A flexible solution with superb automation capabilities
The technical support is high-end. They're knowledgeable people, both in the US and in the Philippines. One point of improvement — they should talk more to each other. They're quite responsive, but it depends on the scope of the ticket. If it's just solving an issue from one product, you can have either a consultant from the US or from the Philippines. It gets difficult when a solution is about integration. For instance, authentication mechanisms. Authentication mechanisms come from the US and they have to be incorporated in the Asia version. Then it's difficult because support has to talk to each other.
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

"I find the PeopleFluent implementation support to be extremely flexible and generous towards their customers."
"This solution is extremely flexible and the automation capabilities are great."
"Overall, it’s easy to learn and use."
"Increased productivity in HR and Payroll departments."
"Customer service is great."
"The ease of use; UltiPro is easy for both the tech savvy HR person and those with limited knowledge of using HCM applications."
"We have been able to eliminate many paper forms and have streamlined some of our processes."
"Customer Service: Top notch. Technical Support: Top notch."
"We currently use onboarding, UTA and Core, and the most valuable feature is the promised improvement in customer service with rapid response."
"The payroll processing and BI are the most valuable features."
"The attention paid to what customers want in product services."
 

Cons

"Give us the ability to source within the tool. It may just be how it’s configured for our organization, but we do not have the ability to source resumes in PeopleFluent."
"The integration capabilities could be improved."
"The integration capabilities could be improved. Integration of the recently acquired Learning Management System into the PeopleFluent suite, since it's clear that it's just recently acquired and it's not fully integrated."
"Some reports are not accurate."
"Initial setup was complex. Many times, it felt like it was a do-it-yourself implementation."
"Customer cases when we have problems."
"Customer Service: 7 - during implementation I believe our consultants were over-worked, so while they were extremely knowledgeable, they were not always accessible."
"I would like to see more options for automating 401k feeds/imports."
"Only issues is slow response time when checks have needed to be voided or reissued for payees."
"Ultimate is growing fast and this has occasionally impacted response time with the customer support team."
"Benefit administration is probably the weakest part of the system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not too expensive, but not too cheap either."
"The platform is not affordable but also not the most expensive."
"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."
"If you're going for the full suite, it can be fairly pricey."
"The pricing depends on the number of licenses we buy."
"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."
"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."
