"Easy to Use, Hassle-Free Clock In/Out Without Logging In"
4/5
What do you like best about UKG Ready?

ease of use. I like that I don't necessarily have to log in to clock in and out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UKG Ready?

If I had to give one piece of constructive feedback, I'd say that I haven't found a way to clock in and out after being logged in. If I'm logged in and adjusting my timesheet, or submitting a time off request, I have to manually select "Sign Out" in order to go back to the screen where I'm able to clock in and out. It's not a huge deal, and I've certainly gotten used to it with time, but it's something that doesn't make much sense to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful Reporting and Easy HR Tools, Despite a Lengthy Setup"
5/5
What do you like best about UKG Ready?

I find it really easy to write reports and pull the information I need. In finance and accounting, I can easily pull cost reports for different departments, including labor, insurance, and other costs. I know our HR department is a big fan of how easy it is to onboard new employees, set up their deductions and enroll them in benefit options, and get reminders when reviews are due. We also do our annual reviews in UKG Ready, so everything is in one place and we can keep track of it. The employee app makes it really easy to request time off and approve requests. The initial setup took a while, but it was worth it. I’ve recommended UKG Ready to friends and colleagues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UKG Ready?

The initial setup of UKG Ready was a beast. I wasn’t prepared for how much information and how many spreadsheets we’d have to do, and it took a while, though it was worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Time-Off Requests and Benefits Enrollment That Saves Time and Paper"
5/5
What do you like best about UKG Ready?

I really like how easy it is to put in requests for vacation, sick and also to sign up for benefits. It really saves time and paper. It also is a great place to be able to go back and look at documents without having to print and file everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UKG Ready?

I don't really like the mobile app. I love using it on my laptop but using it on my phone is a struggle for me. I find things so much smaller and harder to find what I am looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined Time Management, Needs Enhanced Notifications"
4.5/5
What do you like best about UKG Ready?

I find UKG Ready easy to navigate and use after some initial learning. It simplifies logging my time and setting up time-off. I like having my available balances displayed prominently on the landing page, which makes tracking them convenient. The ability to request time-off directly from the timesheet page and double-check dates in a calendar view is also very helpful. Overall, I'm very satisfied with how well UKG Ready works for managing my time and responsibilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UKG Ready?

After taking some time to learn it, I feel UKG Ready could be improved by notifying me when my time out balances reset and how much is carried over in my specific case. This would help me spend less time managing my balances and better manage my work-life balance with less effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven’t had any issues with UKG at all. The only thing I dislike is that when I try to create more detailed reports, it can get a little confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Flexible HR Hub with Great Support—but a Steep Learning Curve"
4/5
What do you like best about UKG Ready?

I use UKG Ready as our source of truth for information shared around the company, which helps remove inconsistencies with things like titles. I like being able to build, copy, and clone things in the system because it helps me be self-sufficient and become a subject matter expert. I can maintain our benefit plans and clone old ones to create new plans from a template as our business changes. I also like the support model: I use the community to post questions when I’m unsure, and I’ve never had an issue getting support or an assigned technician to help. Our benefit vendor integrations use file feeds, so we don’t have to enter benefits manually. The custom workflows in our current system also help me avoid maintaining a lot of information manually. The implementation team was very organized, and I knew what was expected of me each week. I appreciated the weekly check-ins with my implementation manager about progress, outstanding items, and education, which kept us on track for going live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UKG Ready?

I find UKG Ready very technical, with lots of boxes, checkboxes, and features tucked into menu options that I’m still learning. Someone joining our HR team needs some UKG experience to be successful on day one. I also think the performance module could use enhancements; it’s a little clunky for our workforce.

We’re pleased our support and implementation teams have been helpful. Thank you for leaving a review!

"Easy to Use, Wish I could see the notes"
5/5
What do you like best about UKG Ready?

It is easy to use and coinstant, does not make random changes when I am not watching it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UKG Ready?

I was disappointed to find that when I went to look art prior month's pay, it still displayed the amount of hours of the current month. That was initially confusing.

As I stated before, what bothers me the most is that i am unable to label each line in some way. I would be delighted if I were able to put two initials to designate with whom I had spent that hour. I would love to be able to view it as I view tha entire table instead of having to open each note Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Smooth Time Tracking and Time-Off Requests, Though Mobile App Setup Can Be Tricky"
3.5/5
What do you like best about UKG Ready?

I think the most helpful part of UKG ready is easily managing to clock in and out from my laptop every day. I also think that they make the process of requesting time off pretty smooth and easy with their calendar UI. Though overall, I think their UI is pretty user friendly and I've had no trouble finding any information that I needed from the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UKG Ready?

I have not yet had any real negative experiences with UKG ready yet. I think the only thing that I've had an issue with was trying to use the mobile app, as I could not find my workplace on the app and therefore could not get it running. Though it is a managed environment for me anyways, so this might not exactly be a UKG specific problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-Friendly Workflow Automation, But a Tough Implementation"
3.5/5
What do you like best about UKG Ready?

I also want to add that I love the option to create custom forms which can also populate specified data fields. I especially like this feature for collecting information from applicants and new hires.

Overall, I love UKG Ready. It's taking me a while to learn each module and, the more I learn, the more I appreciate the functions and this powerful system. I greatly appreciate the multiple customization options that allow us to truly reflect our culture via branding, language, mirror internal processes, and the progressive or unique access/permission options. I think one of my favorite features is the benefits enrollment with direct carrier integration. The EDI project lead was incredible and so supportive.

My last kudos go to the customer support team. Every case submitted was handled timely, with particular attention to our unique setup. When a certain aspect of a case was a bit more complex, our Krew Manager ensured it was resolved expertly.

Please don't let my overall rating sway you away from UKG Ready. Once you get through the implementation, and gain more experience with your particular setup, you will be glad you selected UKG Ready. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UKG Ready?

Other than the length and complexity of the implementation, and perhaps the difficulty of scheduling live trainings that would align with the module being built, I might suggest that the implementation consultants take a little more care in meeting the client at their point of need. Towards the end of our implementation timeline, we were frequently asked to sign off on the completion of a module even if we had not completed the testing or the training to appropriately understand if our build was correct.

Response from Litz Simon of UKG Ready

We're glad to hear that you find UKG Ready's workflow automation and mobile app user-friendly. Thank you for also sharing feedback on the implementation process. We're continuously working to improve our onboarding and support processes to make the transition smoother for our customers.
