    Chose isolved
    Asure was a very small business platform with a very weak tax engine, so isolved has been a huge improvement for us. I would say in comparison to Proliant, isolved lacks on the report writer, true SSO with Employee Navigator and the report writer.

    Chose UKG Ready
    The only one on the same playing field in my opinion is Workday. However, workday cannot tailor to a smaller company like UKG Ready does. The rest had some good points but lacked a component or had a very dysfunctional component.

    There is always room for improvements and updates. More workflows and ways to make the process easier for both employees and managers as well as the HR department. More functionality improvements vs esthetics as the platform already looks great. More ways for a manager to be involved with their employees without having to add separate module.

    There’s not much for me to share here other than multiple mobile apps for employees to download for different functions. We have the learning function activated and employees had to download a second mobile app (HCMToGo Learning) to be able to access the Learning portal on the go. Concerned that if we continue to add more functionality, there will be more apps to download.

    Pros
    isolved
    • The payroll processing has been a huge benefit in keeping our weekly payroll process on track and accurate.
    • The COBRA services are very beneficial and we do not have to do any tracking. I appreciate this process is no longer on my duty list.
    • I would say the third id probably the timekeeping. The system is effective for daily tracking and timecard review. The access to the time clock is exceptional with multiple access points. The adjustments for additional pay on holidays has been helpful.

    • Support—UKG support, from the Account Managers to CSMs to Ready Support, is amazing. They are always willing to help!
    • Documentation—UKG has built-in online documentation, which is a live, easy-to-use version of a very lengthy manual.
    • Ease of use- the system is intuitive, easy to train others to use.

    Cons

    • Reminders/Notes to staff through the app that they have to read to be able to move forward to clock in or out.
    • More key words to search in the library/help desk.
    • Check boxes to delete Reports from the Que, rather than having to delete each one individually would be a nice enhancement!

    • We have had ongoing issues with our accruals.
    • Auto generate timesheets in the "Team Timesheets" view.
    • Granting manager access is cumbersome - access needs to be given in multiple places.
    • The sync between Pro and Ready in my opinion is terrible and needs much improvement.
    • Auto assign Employee Time Zones based on work location.

    I believe Isolved has helped with allot of our previous payroll and HR issues but I am not the sole person responsible for making the decisions. If it were my responsibility to make the decision I would say yes, my input does weigh heavily on the choices but it's not guaranteed.

    We plan to renew our support and use of UKG Ready each year unless it becomes unavailable or the district seeks another vendor. As of now, there are no plans to changes vendors. The district staff is now familiar with using UKG. Another vendor will need to meet the same expectations we have come to enjoy with using UKG

    The system seems very stable. Being hosted in the cloud, we are vulnerable to internet speeds and busy times. The system has been down a couple times over the 3 months we have been live, but Kronos resolved the issues very quickly. To have access from a desktop, tablet, time clock, or phone app is one of the best features....users have almost NO REASON they can't clock in.

    We were always told that Kronos was the best, but there are reports that we got out of ADP and other payroll providers that we cannot get out of Kronos. One example is a report of Productive/Non-productive hours by department. We also need the dollar amount associated with the hours. This is information that is required on our cost report and we were told that that report is unavailable. It is very frustrating when I can't get what I need.

    Super supportive and courteous. The initial set up and integration process was great. They helped every step of the way.

    If I was only rating support itself that would be a 10. Every support case I have entered has been addressed efficiently and with the desired result. On the implementation and transition to support there were multiple issues that those doing the implementation or transition could not answer or workflows and various settings left undone only to be discovered later. We implemented 3 different modules and the expertise we got for each one varied widely.

We have also been able to attend the Connect Conferences with are extremely valuable and we learn tips and tricks to help us better utilize our system.

    The system was very cumbersome setting up as well as time consuming. There were times I just wanted to walk away and sometimes I did have to get up and walk away for a break and come back with a fresh perspective. The setup took me over a period of two to three months getting it to serve the purposes that we needed it two. I am very intuitive when it comes to computer software however getting all the right buttons checked in order for it to do what I needed didn't always work.

    Make sure the people who are doing the build have extensive knowledge on employment law and asking the right questions. I would bet that the people who helped with our builds did not read any of our employment contracts or ordinances; and when I asked questions about how other companies handled certain basic dictates from federal employment laws, they didn't have any idea what FMLA, FLSA, etc were.

    isolved provides a system and capabilities right at the sweet spot for our organizations. It is not overly complex and feature laden as to make it confusing and complex. On the other hand, it is fully functional and effective at the core requirements of HR and payroll without requiring additional work outside of the system. All of the systems we have previously considered or used were with limited on functionality or prohibitively expense and complex.

    • When we had Paycom, we had 1/4 of our staff that were not logging in and using the system. That number is down to maybe 5% now
    • Employees love having the ability to easily view and verify their timecards prior to payroll submission.

    • This is basic, but we finally know how many employees we have! It sounds ridiculous, but prior to UKG Ready we were on a payroll system that's reports were only as accurate as the last payroll cycle, so they were always 2 weeks behind and static. UKG Ready allows for realtime, daily reporting of information.
    • We are able to get salary data for our various locations to be able to compare them to each other, as well as across our "competitors" and external competition.
    • The data provided allows us to be able to understand the trends at individual locations including attrition, advancement, raise information, and other data points that we haven't historically done comparisons on
    • We can see the demographic and geographical information for our employees and the benefits that they elect
