- According to verified reviews, Dayforce's implementation process is praised for its efficiency, with users noting that the onboarding wizard makes it easy to get started. In contrast, while Rival is also noted for its quick setup, it doesn't match the same level of user satisfaction in this area.
- Reviewers mention that Dayforce provides robust features for tracking and managing employee data, with one user highlighting the ability to organize candidate details along with feedback, which simplifies audits.
