Considered Both Products
UKG Pro
Chose UKG Pro
When it comes to service and support, there is no comparison between UKG, Ceridian, ADP, Workday or other HCM vendors out there. The support that we have received over the previous three years has been the best I've ever experienced in my 15+ years of working in human resources …
Chose UKG Pro
Workday has more features like better payroll integration and talent managment and training but seems to be less user friendly than UKG Pro. UKG Pro also appears less bloated and a more refined user interface but with less robust features in certain areas. Workday seems to …
Chose UKG Pro
I've used Gusto for timekeeping and payroll and HR. I do think the Gusto interface is nicer to look at and more motivating to visit. It has less functions, but I don't use all of UKG Pro's functions anyway, so I like the clean simplicity of Gusto. However, I like that you can …
Chose UKG Pro
I think ADP is a lot easier to use and function within. While the GL maping is seperate done at employee level which is more time consuming. In my experience, the customer support seems better than UKG Pro. So far ADP points you to community support and training videos but …
Chose UKG Pro
I have used each of the other products at different workplaces. UKG Pro is a sweet spot of having the top features from each without most of the downsides of each.
Chose UKG Pro
Customer Service alone has been a tremendous change coming from ADP to UKG.
In the beginning the system wasnt quite as upgraded on the technical side but it has since them implemented some great changes that have been a great success for us.
Chose UKG Pro
UKG stacks up very well. The functionality covers just about all of the essential functions that are needed to operate a large organization that is constantly bringing in new talent and moving people around to other divisions or positions. The reporting is strong, and the …
Chose UKG Pro
I prefer BambooHR overall. It has a very robust ATS and is more user-friendly. As a Canadian, UKG Pro is better for payroll administration. I also really enjoy the HR Webinars that BambooHR puts on for its customers. The BambooHR Virtual Summit is a great perk to having BambooHR
Chose UKG Pro
We initially selected Ultimate Software with plans to use all of the integrated modules. Also, being able to process U.S. and Canadian payroll was a must. We liked the tool's flexibility. Now that we've used UKG for 5 years, I'm not sure we would have made the same choice, as …
Chose UKG Pro
UKG is far more powerful, with a fully integrated suite of advanced modules. Integrating AI is a priority, and this is in line with the currently evolving way of doing business.
Chose UKG Pro
UKG is much more flexible when processing data for employees and managers. It is more intuitive and allows for an easier process for employees.
Chose UKG Pro
We used ADP WFN prior to switching to UKG. We interviewed three different payroll companies to see what our options were. UKG stood out and aligned with our company values. The sales team was very helpful and asked questions about what we were currently doing and how they could …
Chose UKG Pro
UKG Pro and Paycom are very similar in the base function they are used for, timecards and scheduling. While I have never worked on the administrative side of Paycom, I do feel that the employee/customer facing part of the software was a bit better than UKG. It was easier to …
Chose UKG Pro
I love that UKG is more of self-service and not waiting for ADP to process.
Chose UKG Pro
UKG Pro (formerly Ultimate Software UltiPro) ran so much more smoothly than what we were previously using. Upgrades are great; however, I do find the new BI reporting package a little confusing. Still a great reporting tool. I believe UKG does care about their customers, and …
Chose UKG Pro
I think UKG Pro by far beats any system
Chose UKG Pro
I was hired right at the time we transition from ADP to Ultipro (UKG). It looked like only Payroll was handled, but benefits enrollment was done manually. The carriers also had to be updated manually from medical, dental, vision, and Principal (401k). Now we no longer have …
Chose UKG Pro
UKG Pro HCM is much more robust and has increased functionality over that of Dimensions HCM.
Chose UKG Pro
My experience with HRIS systems is limited to UKG Pro. It is the only HRIS I have worked with. I have worked with other systems that perform the tasks of some of its models and have found that when used with the various modules the overall experience with UKG is great. The …
Chose UKG Pro
The organization already had UKG Pro - it was nothing that was chosen. As far as ranking, it would be last on the list.

I would say, well, I don't want to focus on less appropriate. I want to be well suited. I really feel like if the transparency with our count rep and then just diving in onto how to problem solve and how to troubleshoot, I think that's most important with that.

Cons
UKG
  • Onboarding and recruiting need an environment that is more stable and dependable.
  • Core Benefits could be enhanced to allow OE and LE events via the mobile app.
  • Service and support need to be increased; days and weeks now, when we first went live, it was minutes and hours.
  • Adapting all version of time management into one or two versions, at no cost to the customer would allow the resources from UTA, UTM and WFM Classic to be directed to future enhancements and would allow support services to be increased for the 2 remaining platforms.

We have been a customer since 2015, we have gone to market and find that UKG Pro product is both user friendly for administrators as well as the employee. The qualify of support and service of UKG team is valued and we trust the product.

Usability
UKG
It gets the job done, but not with a few deep sighs. Once you know where stuff lives, it's manageable, but the first learning curve is steep, some menus feel buried. However, it's consistent, reliable and doesn't crash on me, which counts for a lot. With a little UI glow up it could push into a 9 zone.

Reliability and Availability
UKG
For the most part UltiPro has been reliable, but it could definitely be better. There have been several notable server issues where we were unable to access the product or unable to utilize some of the features. Customer support is usually quick to respond to questions about these issues, but they do not proactively reach out to customers whose environments have been effected by outages

Performance
UKG
Normally UKG Pro loads quickly. We had been having major issues with reports running in a timely manner but recently they broke out our virtual server to another instance where is wasn't sharing resources and that seems to have helped reporting run more efficiently.

In-Person Training
UKG
I've been to a few in-person (hands on) training sessions and it is very similar to the online classes. You have the same reference material to look back on after the training. So regardless of in person training or online you really get the same thing.

Online Training
UKG
Most of the online training was very generic (to be expected) but we had specific requirements for configuration that could have been better addressed with more individual sessions earlier on from our project team. However, we did finally begin booking training sessions with our implementation team which were recorded, and so provided additional information for how to correctly configure and test the system.

Make sure you have all of your tax account information with all the states you are registered in available and that you are knowledgeable about the filing status, frequency, etc. We had some unique challenges with our state unemployment tax set up that I was not aware of and needed to be addressed prior to going live. Working with the state unemployment office can be a challenge.

Alternatives Considered
UKG
We used ADP WFN prior to switching to UKG. We interviewed three different payroll companies to see what our options were. UKG stood out and aligned with our company values. The sales team was very helpful and asked questions about what we were currently doing and how they could assist with simplifying things. I personally had a side meeting with them to see if there were options for a process that we manually process and if UKG could actually eliminate the process. We came to the conclusion that we weren't able to get it 100%, but we could pull 80% of what we needed from UKG, and then we would only need to manipulate 20% of the information. It was also determined from that meeting that we wouldn't need to pay extra to have a special report built. The customer service is what we were sold on. The other companies that we looked at didn't give us the confidence that their customer service would be any better than what we previously had.

Return on Investment
UKG
  • Personally as a veteran user of UKG Pro, in past employers I have seen many amazing increases in employee engagement and ROI.
  • With QuVa, we are still very new to the UKG Pro platform and are just now beginning to get out of the implementation phase where we can start measuring the change. I will be looking for changes in Overtime spending to reduce as a result of more informative and actionable dashboards for managers to monitor overtime and timeclock abuses in real time. I am also expecting employees to engage more with new features being pushed out to the mobile app.
