The platform configuration and workflow features are valuable. Effective date should be available in audit for all transactions.

We have been able to put responsibility out to managers to manage their employee information instead of submitting forms.

What needs improvement?

  • All pages should be configurable.
  • Effective date should be available in audit for all transactions.

The system administration and ESS features are valuable.
Pros and Cons
  • "At my past companies, UltiPro has improved service delivery to employees, streamlined processes, improved efficiencies, and given time back to employees."
  • "Implementation in 2009-2010 was a bit bumpy due to changes with the UltiPro project team."

What is most valuable?

  • System administration
  • BI reporting
  • Onboarding
  • ESS

How has it helped my organization?

At my current organization, we are just starting our implementation project. At my past companies, UltiPro has improved service delivery to employees, streamlined processes, improved efficiencies, and given time back to employees.

What needs improvement?

Global employee management features are limited. I would love to see the ability to add tables to store increments for supplemental life when using the age-graded rates setup.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used it for eight years.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

Implementation in 2009-2010 was a bit bumpy due to changes with the UltiPro project team.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

System stability is generally good and issues are typically addressed quickly.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have not encountered any scalability issues up to this point.

How is customer service and technical support?

Customer Service:

Customer service is generally very good. Response times can be slower during peak times (i.e., open enrollment, year-end, etc.).

Technical Support:

Technical support is very good.

What about the implementation team?

An in-house team implemented it.

I am looking forward to the new workflows.
Pros and Cons
  • "The implementing staff has been very friendly."
  • "When we go to enter this info in, it becomes a foreign language and we are left feeling frustrated."

What is most valuable?

We are a new customer, still implementing. The implementing staff has been very friendly.

How has it helped my organization?

I am looking forward to the new workflows.

What needs improvement?

More explanations on the required spreadsheets for implementation; explanation of each field in the spreadsheet.

We are still in the implementation stages.  There are several spreadsheets that we use to upload info into ACT.  When we are having our info calls, they touch base on each of the columns and give examples of what that column represents or what you are looking for in this column.  But, when we go to enter this info in, it become a foreign language and we are left feeling frustrated.  We have to skip those columns and ask again what they are for.   It would be nice if when we go to fill out these fields that we could hover over the column header and read a description what you are wanting in that column.    Also, if 85% of your clients come from ADP, why not have a more customized spreadsheet for ADP rather than a generic spreadsheet?   We were discussing Data conversion and some of the columns came over on the ADP dump and some didn’t.  Making a spreadsheet for ADP would give you the option of saying at the top of the column that this comes over from ADP data conversion and not needed unless you want to change that info.  Honestly, why isn’t it assumed that everything in your current system is accurate?  I just adds confusion to the data conversion saying you can add this field and change it if it’s not accurate in your current system.

For how long have I used the solution?

We are not using it yet, July 1.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

We are still deploying it.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We previously used an older version of ADP.

How was the initial setup?

Initial setup feels complex at the moment.

What about the implementation team?

An in-house team is implementing it.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before choosing this product, we did some demos.

The time and attendance features are valuable.
Pros and Cons
  • "We are contacted on a regular basis by other vendors and we always tell them that we are totally satisfied with our current solution."
  • "The submit button sometimes does not work and the timesheet stays in the "In Progress" mode."

What is most valuable?

Time and attendance are the most valuable features.

How has it helped my organization?

It went from being a manual operation to an electronic one.

What needs improvement?

The submit button sometimes does not work and the timesheet stays in the "In Progress" mode. This means the employee has to be told that their timesheet was not submitted and they need to resubmit.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used it since 2005.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

We did encounter deployment issues, but the UltiPeeps helped us.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We sometimes encounter stability issues.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have encountered scalability issues, and IT has had to get involved to help with our settings.

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer Service:

Customer service is very good.

Technical Support:

Technical support is very good.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We previously used ADP. We switched because they forgot about client service.

How was the initial setup?

Initial setup was complex and we were frustrated because it was so different than the environment from where we came.

What about the implementation team?

A vendor team implemented it; they were very good.

What was our ROI?

The ROI is priceless.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Pricing and licensing is reasonable.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before choosing this product, we also evaluated Ceredian.

What other advice do I have?

We are contacted on a regular basis by other vendors and we always tell them that we are totally satisfied with our current solution. I cannot say anything that would be a better recommendation than this!!

Pros and Cons
  • "Technical support is excellent."
  • "Payment services continues to be our biggest area of concern."

What is most valuable?

  • Cognos
  • Benefits management
  • Workflows

How has it helped my organization?

  • Using to eliminate spreadsheets
  • Creating reports to help us manage data on a timely basis

What needs improvement?

  • Compensation management

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used it for eight years.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

We encountered a few deployment issues, but not many. Some modules or features that we have added have been a bit of an issue, like open enrollment.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We did not encounter any stability issues.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We did not encounter any scalability issues.

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer Service:

Most of the time, customer service is very good.

Payment services continues to be our biggest area of concern.

Technical Support:

Technical support is excellent.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We previously used a different solution. We switched because of integration with HR, multi-state and scalability, along with the cost.

How was the initial setup?

Initial setup was straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

An in-house team implemented it.

What was our ROI?

I don't know what the ROI is.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Pricing is much better than what we were paying before, especially for multi-state. Also, doing multi-year committments helps to reduce costs.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before choosing this product, we also evaluated ADP and Paychex.

What other advice do I have?

I would love to see more flexibility in many of the tools so that Ulti becomes our tool of choice.

The Talent Management and Business Intelligence features are valuable.
Pros and Cons
  • "Talent Management and Business Intelligence are the most valuable features."
  • "Customer service is hit or miss. We keep being told that Ulti wants to provide top-notch customer service, but it's not being delivered when you have to wait days, weeks, or even months to get issues worked on or resolved."

What is most valuable?

Talent Management and Business Intelligence are the most valuable features.

How has it helped my organization?

We have gone to a paperless orientation.

What needs improvement?

One area with room for improvement is having communication on all the different aspects UltiPro has to offer and how it will improve our organization. A big problem has been "you don't know what you don't know" and we find out really useful information by accident and once we've ran into a problem.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used it for five months.

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer Service:

Customer service is hit or miss. We keep being told that Ulti wants to provide top-notch customer service, but it's not being delivered when you have to wait days, weeks, or even months to get issues worked on/resolved.

Technical Support:

Depends on what type of technical support we need and what subject area it is in. Sometimes, it takes a while to get the support we need and have a frustration period having to wait.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We previously used a different solution. We switched because it was not capable of doing the things we needed for our organization.

How was the initial setup?

Initial setup was complex. Our implementation manager did not take the time to really learn the ins and outs of our organization, and therefore did not help us do the best setup we could have had. We also received a lot of generic emails that we found out later did not apply to us, and therefore we were frustrated trying to do work that didn't need to be done. We have found that a lot of setup has needed to be corrected when putting in cases for problems that have been arising.

What about the implementation team?

An in-house team implemented it.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before choosing, we vetted many systems.
