What customer support options does Dayforce provide, and how do users find the overall support experience?

Dayforce provides support through phone, email/help desk, and chat, including 24/7 live-rep support. The support experience can be helpful and knowledgeable, but users also describe slow responses, inconsistent answers, and difficulty getting complex issues fully resolved.

What is the experience like for teams switching to Dayforce from another tool?

Switching to Dayforce is often driven by the need to consolidate HR and payroll work, replace older or disconnected systems, or support more complex and international operations. Users describe moving from tools such as ADP and UKG-family systems, Payworks, Paylocity, and other legacy platforms to a shared system with connected modules and more real-time access to workforce data. The transition can involve considerable setup and learning, particularly for organizations with complex configurations.

What features or capabilities could make Dayforce even more useful?

Dayforce could be more useful with easier reporting and administration, stronger mobile workflows, and more complete module capabilities. The most common areas for improvement include:

Simplify report creation, filtering, and dashboard customization so teams can get useful information with less effort.
Expand mobile functionality so employees and administrators can complete more everyday tasks in the app.
Make configuration and customization easier, and improve how information flows between modules.

"Super nice for a single legal entity"

4/5

What do you like best about Dayforce?

I literally spend my 40 hour workweek almost exclusively in Dayforce. Dayforce is pretty customizable (if you run multiple legal entities from one space, you'll run into issues though). Customer Support is pretty good, but can take a very long time on some cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dayforce?

I dislike that there are some functions that an end user would expect to work one way, but the dev team did not setup that way, so what should be intuitive is not with quite a few things. I also dislike that Reporting is way more complicated than it needs to be. I never had issues with other HR SaaS platforms as I do with Dayforce. Lastly, I dislike that the employee profile is basically useless to an employee. Other platforms have way better profiles for user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dayforce solving and how is that benefiting you?

We moved from Vista to Dayforce and it is solving many problems including an ATS module, employee self-service including online benefit enrollments vs paper, giving managers and HR certain permissions instead of only shared services accessing the HRIS, OSHA logs are created for us, and much more!

Performance Management has many configuration options. However you need to utilize it it can be configured to meet your needs. It's also nice to have performance related reports right there in the module. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool for Org Design! Easy to use, great design and UI, and a great team to work with"

5/5

What do you like best about Dayforce?

The tool is very easy to use and has a great UI. All the key features are there and the team are working hard to add new features all the time. It has been quick and easy to integrate, making implementation simple. We are very excited about the potential of the tool and value it can drive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dayforce?

Very little to dislike!! There can be some bugs but the team are quick to resolve these, and typically these are caused by the fast pace of development and improvement to support customer needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Restructure like a pro with Agentnoon"

5/5

What do you like best about Dayforce?

In Agentnoon it's easy to setup an integration of data from a payroll system. Implementation was easy. Realtime analytics and KPI tracking are a big improvement over monthly reports. The forecasting and budgeting tools are very useful to track and monitor workforce costs. For restructures Agentnoon lets you create what if scenarios to compare structured and financial costs with other stakeholders. The support from Agentnoon was excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dayforce?

It'd be great to have a split screen to drag and drop when restructuring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great centralized HRIS for most of our HR functions!"

4/5

What do you like best about Dayforce?

Dayforce has so far been a great tool for our HR team and the company as a whole. We use a vast majority of their features and have been able to integrate them into our daily work lives. In general, it's easy to use both from an administrative perspective and for our employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dayforce?

Some of the downsides of Dayforce are its limitations when it comes to what it can provide. The system in relation to other "big name" HRIS solutions is fairly new, and there are many "obvious" features that seem to be missing from it. However, they work to improve it regularly, so I feel confident that with time they will be able to be one of the best systems to use. I look forward especially to additional features on the mobile app as most of our workforce does not have a computer and uses their phones as their primary source for digital communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dayforce solving and how is that benefiting you?

Dayforce is a one-stop solution for our HR team and company to ensure our core HR processes can run smoothly. We use Time & Attendance, which flows directly into Payroll for easy processing. Recruitment gets employees' data and that flows directly into our employee directory and for WFM. Overall, it makes keeping track of employees and the things they care about most ($) simple.

"Excellent"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Dayforce?

The ease of the Dayforce system significantly surpasses that of HPW. Having previously used both HPW and Time and Attendance, I can confidently say that Dayforce has brought a remarkable improvement to our team. Our workload has become much more manageable since its implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dayforce?

The transition to Dayforce was long and tiresome. While the system's ease is a significant improvement over HPW, there are some drawbacks. One notable issue is the inability to print timesheets in the same format we could with Time and Attendance. We frequently used printed timesheets for legal purposes, and the current process is more cumbersome and less readable. This change has added extra steps and complexity to our workflow.

Recommendations to others considering Dayforce:

Try the system. It is worth the time and patience needed to learn Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dayforce solving and how is that benefiting you?

On a positive note, Dayforce is enhancing our reporting capabilities. Reporting is now easier to access and read, and we benefit from real-time updates to timesheets. The support team is also actively addressing our on-demand issues with reporting and other concerns, which is helping to improve our overall experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Payroll module is amazing"

5/5

What do you like best about Dayforce?

Payroll processing module, the live retros and pay calculations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dayforce?

To pay for customized reports. Reporting should be more user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dayforce solving and how is that benefiting you?

Retro payments, in our legacy system, I would have to run a report and manually figure out the pay different on excel, which was very time consuming and possible errors. With the retro feature in DayForce, by updating the timesheets, it automatically calculates the retro amount, which saves time and manual errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
