We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"System usability has improved to a large extent and our manual effort has been reduced."

More SumTotal Systems Talent Portal [EOL] Pros →

"The fact that I can see the whole HR information in a single point is valuable. There is a unified view of everything, which is good. Previously, we had many different systems for each part of the information. Now, it is all centralized. It is very good.""It is much easier to use and the customer service is better than our previous solution.""The employee self-service feature is most valuable. This is the restaurant industry, and they have a mobile app that allows employees to go in and manage their data. So, employees can manage direct deposit accounts, emergency contacts, and other things in the app. That's definitely the biggest benefit.""UKG allows us to customize our home screen so that we can easily monitor important items on a daily basis.""The solution has improved our organization by helping us cut hours and lessen our labor force. It saved us probably over $100,000 in just the last couple of years.""It enables us to manage the system ourselves. We don't need an additional team to do a lot of maintenance and add the things that we want.""I like UKG's integration.""The solution's UI is good. Also, it is very easy to use."

Cons
"Analytics is one area where this system really needs a large improvement because currently, it has only basic reporting features."

More SumTotal Systems Talent Portal [EOL] Cons →

"UKG could be a little more flexible in some areas.""I would like the capability to use UKG as a single platform without the need to alternate between systems.""The solution could improve by simplifying it even more core reports, such as more sample reports, more generic reports that you can edit and improve on yourself.""The navigation on the screen could be better. Sometimes, I have to dig a little bit deep to find what I need. Everything is there. It just needs to be a little bit smoother.""Certainly, the time and attendance and the payroll integration need a lot of work. They are disjointed pieces, and they don't work smoothly together. That's the main drawback.""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.""One area where UKG could improve is in its ability to understand its own competency and then work hard to improve it.""Reporting is always a hurdle for any user just because it is so extensive. They provide a lot of out-of-the-box reports, but it is something that you always need to work on because you need more advanced writing of reports."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Licensing is quite flexible, but please ensure that you have the right team negotiating with them."
  • More SumTotal Systems Talent Portal [EOL] Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
  • "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."
