Dayforce Reviews & Product Details

i love the ease of being able to clock in from my phone, see my schedule, request time off, review my pay, and look at my health benefits. it is a very easy to use app! requesting time off and reviewing the schedule is very easy. as far as being able to specify any issues or changes when need to for direct deposits/changing banks, payment allocation , i can change it and not have to bother my manger about it! i love that ease of access. also, i love being able to access my pay early and when i need to! its wonderful.

having to log in/get text to verify pretty much every single time, unless i stay on a certain page in the app, when i clock in, otherwise, having to clock in and wait for a text to get verification, is redundant, but better than having to change my password a million times! i would rather do the 3rd factor log in then reset my password every time!

I really like that Dayforce operates in real time, which means there is no waiting when I post a position for it to go live. This feature is valuable because it allows us to get our jobs out there ASAP and share those jobs with different team members and various job boards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The NEW platform is not user-friendly at all and there is no place to keep documents that are attached to a specific requisition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can see what what time I have requested as PTO and what is approved and what is still pending. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that some of the features are hard to find at time. For example if I am given a task to complete I have go through several steps to find the correct screen needed to complete. Some are easy to find, others not so much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate how Dayforce centralizes so many HR functions into one platform, which is really helpful for streamlining a wide range of employee lifecycle processes. I value the transparency it provides to employees and supervisors. The reporting tools are particularly valuable because they allow us to access real-time information quickly without having to pull data from multiple sources, and it's easy to run standardized reports as well as create custom ones. The ability to export reports in different formats is also helpful when sharing information. Overall, Dayforce's ability to integrate processes, maintain accuracy, and improve visibility across the organization are the features that stand out the most.

I find that small configuration changes in Dayforce require back-end support, which can slow down the updates we need to make more quickly. More flexibility and admin-level customization options would be helpful. Most importantly, the customer service reps seem to be overseas and/or speak very broken English and can be very hard to understand. The dashboards are functional but limited, and it would be helpful to have widgets that allow you to quickly visualize. A more drag-and-drop style dashboard builder would also make it easier to tailor views for HR, supervisors, and leaders. The initial setup wasn't easy, and we did most of the heavy lifting.

I like the ease of use for employees with Dayforce, as everything is pretty simple. Creating reports, updating information, and requesting time off are straightforward tasks. I also utilize Dayforce reports almost daily, and I appreciate being able to create and add fields whenever needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's more so the way our system is configured, it's very clunky to approve time off for employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find data visualization significantly easier with Dayforce, which enhances our dashboard views. I particularly appreciate how it displays key reports, such as headcount breakdowns by full-time and contractual employees. The platform also provides insightful bifurcations by age, gender, and salary brackets, enabling quick and effective data analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've encountered frequent technical glitches, particularly with income tax processing, which is frustrating as resolutions often take around 24 hours—likely due to the US-based company's time zone differences with IST. There's heavy dependency on the US team, leading to delays. Additionally, integration options are limited; our attempt to connect with ADP for tax submissions was one integration which I have witnessed others I have not.

I use Dayforce as a management tool for development, work, profile, and performance. I find it very easy to use, and it helps me understand my performance with all my information in one place, which is very helpful. I really appreciate how it allows my managers to access real-time data updates. The fact that workforce management and talent management are all in one place makes it very organized. Dayforce makes scheduling and time tracking easier, and the section for performance reviews helps me understand my strengths and weaknesses, supporting my career growth and keeping me aligned with business needs. The initial setup was quite easy as well, with guidance from our managers, and then we were able to navigate the tool ourselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reporting tools maybe could have been a bit easier to use. Maybe having single drag and drop features or a few readymade templates so that reports can be made faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The company I was using Dayforce with is no longer in business, so I don't use it any longer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I no longer am using the Dayforce software, so I don't have any additional feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the simplicity of the schedule in Dayforce, which makes it easy to make edits and changes as needed. I appreciate the ability to authorize and approve my staff's time card entries on the go. It's integrated smoothly with my single sign-on system, which makes accessing it effortless. I can just click on it, and it opens up instantly. I also find it valuable that I can approve time off and run reports to show me overtime, which helps me keep my P&L in line. Overall, it's just a great resource.

My least favorite thing about it is the actual entry of the schedule. I find it slightly challenging when I do a schedule for a month because I can only do it week by week. I'd like to just be able to do an entire employee for the entire month and then go to the next one versus only having to do all my employees week by week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
