ADP Workforce Now vs Dayforce HCM Comparison

Previously ADP is only integrate with Payroll system, now the workforce is coming as a completed package of Human capital management. which helps to store employee data and payroll information in a single source. even benefits and recruiting also intergrated. ability to access workforce in mobile is added adva

I dont see any least in this software, since its new to market. it will take some time to capture pros and cons of this software

Ease of use and one stop service for all HCM needs.

The overall service fee structure for ADP is not available when scouting online.

Still leading the industry in ease of use and functionality. Great reporting functions and Training tools

There should be additional features without having to constantly pay for updates and upgraded features

I can manage my colleagues and my goals within the company. Workforce now makes my daily HCM tasks much simpler

As this is a highly configurable piece of kit it can take a while to get used to. But after this it is very powerful

When it comes to HCM Software, ADP is the world's recognized leader. They continue to improve their software and bring new innovations and products to the market.

Every cloud-based software experiences downtime. While it happens from time-to-time, ADP does their best to minimize and resolve outages.

Friendly customer service with great respond.

No cons were added to this review

The focus on bringing better human capital management solutions to businesses. ADP has always been a go to for me with regard to payroll, but I am utilizing more and more of their HCM modules as I continue using it.

They are still behind their competitors with relation to the human capital management side.

I have used this software for a couple years and I can say it is very user friendly and always evolving to ensure its customers are satisfied. There software is very secure and you don’t have to worry about any of them being compromised. The scheduling, HCM and payroll functions work seamlessly as well

The customer service could use some improvement and being that they are constantly evolving at times it is hard to find old features.

We like the real-time payroll processing capability and also to have WFM and payroll in one system.

Workforce management. Our move from Kronos and our complicated rules seem to be non-standard in the industry.

Easy to implement from other products, especially ADP Vantage. All features are straight forward and ease to use.

there are many good features, I do not know it is a cons, but since it has too many good features, it is little hard to remember all good features.

Very intuitive and easy for the end user to navigate; overall, less clunky than ADP. Even people who aren't familiar with software or computing for that matter can figure it out easily. The app is great as well and a necessity due to our mostly mobile workforce. Pay stubs and forms are clearly organized, labeled, and the graphs are a nice addition. Good value for money in comparison to other tools.

Sometimes it's confusing to have different login pages for SSO vs. regular login. Also, the SSO portion is iffy. At the end of the day, this is highly confidential financial information - perhaps SSO isn't the best method if someone could very easily be on someone else's computer and have access to their compensation information by clicking one link on a company intranet.

I like the 'one' database aspect the best.

Implementation was very lacking. Nearly a disaster. I am over 2 years in and still have not been able to get everything we originally intended to do up and running.

Easier UI and site tool navigation (simpler design)

Does not seem to have as much functionality as other tools such as ADP

It is an incredibly comprehensive and customizable product. The training that is offered is vast and at all levels. Implementation was supportive and provided a team that worked well with ours. The offer so many avenues of training, support and networking. I love the payroll side and I find it much easier to use than ADP's Workforce now.

Customer support is not as responsive as I would like. It is not an instant set up, it takes a lot of programming to customize it to your company. Dayforce is not a cookie cutter system it takes work to make sure that your organization is reflected correctly for HR and Payroll.

From payroll to time keeping, benefits to recruiting, Dayforce fully integrates all functions of managing a workforce. The Ceridian support team is also very responsive and knowledgeable.

It is a newer product so there are a few things that need tweaking for it to improve even more, but again, the support is there, Ceridian cares about its customers.

The company I worked for moved from ADP to Dayforce for Payroll and it was an easy transition and the mobile app was great.

I didn't have any issues with this software while using it on my PC or mobile device.

What I love most about Dayforce is its ability to integrate payroll, benefits, talent management and other HR related features into a single easy to use software.

The software is excellent. I wish there was a bit more documentation on new features since there are always new features coming out.

Very easy to maneuver through screens once you get the hang of what you want to see.

Terminated employees were not included in the search feature but this has recently changed and a box has been added to show those employees.

Dayforce integrated many systems for us, features an organization chart and photos of people available

Reporting is very difficult and sometimes limited. Instead of being easy to use, it requires admins to understand computer science logic equations compared to what we had with ADP

We like the total integration of the Dayforce solution. The real time feature is exactly what we were searching for. Ceridian is constantly upgrading the features. This is a huge advantage with the emerging workforce we see today.

The implementation process is very time consuming, but well worth it in the end. We are still working out some issues that were not set up properly, but gaining ground each day. Communicate constantly with your implementation team to ensure you thoroughly explain your expectations and needs.

I use both ADP and Dayforce. There seems no much difference between them. I don’t prefer either. For Dayforce, I like it most is it is straigt forward to use, when the function is there.

I don’t like the software is the function is so limited and restricted. I cannot change direct deposit; cannot change W2 form; even cannot update my personal information like phone number and address. So, the functionality is very basic to me. I need to seek other ways for more functions.

One of our major wins was the consolidation of HRIS, Workforce Management and Payroll under one roof with one employee record. We were able to move Canada, UK and US employees into ONE SYSTEM. Huge win for our users and technical team.

The implementation was complex and our team struggled throughout the phases. We required strong project management resources on the Ceridian side, and that role was not a strength. We went through multiple Ceridian PMs and eventually hired an additional PM for the client side. The implementation team approach to certain functions - specifically entitlement setup - did not align with best practices endorsed by the Ceridian support team. Unfortunately we did not learn this until after go-live. We ended up reworking Entitlements post implementation.

Great HCM platform that allows you to have all of your data in one place. It is cloud based and can handle HR, payroll, benefits and workforce management in a single app, so you can stop using multiple applications and move into Dayforce. Very intuitive and easy to setup

It has some slow load times, but other than that I have no complaints

Dayforce HCM is a good HR software program in that it is a cloud-based platform for workforce management and other essential things such as payroll, benefits, and document management. It essentially gets the job done for the common employee and offers enough functionality to be a useful platform.

The overall aesthetic feel and functionality wasn't as smooth and intuitive as the previous HR software our company used, which was Workday. It's not a dealbreaker but it goes a long way to empower the user to feel like they understand and to a large degree have a comfortable control of the app in the first few experiences.

Hi there, Thank you for your feedback! Your insight is very valuable and we appreciate you spending the time to share your experience. Very best, Michael

Take away administrative tasks from managers

Still in implementation, so right now I'm not liking implmentaion

Dayforce caters to our needs. We can now do so much more than we could ever think of doing in our old HRIS system.

During our performance evaluations we had some trouble with the settings not being so customizable as we thought it would be.

Easy to learn. Navigation is awesome. Colors are easy on the eyes

The length of time to login. You have to clear to open another record.

The implementation process was great. The consultants were very helpful. We have been live for more than 6 months now, its been a great experience so far.

We had some difficulty to have the carrier feed to get to work, the testing took more time than expected.

I like the fact that I can now access Dayforce from multiple internet applications, including my Mac. The convenience has helped me tremendously with my very busy schedule.

What I like least about Dayforce is it can run slow and reports can take a while. There is no mobile application available for employees, it is view only from a mobile device.

It has a lot of features. I like the ease of the payroll module.

The implementation wasn’t done great so it has left us with a bunch of problems.

Dayforce HCM is a one stop shop, user friendly and easy to navigate. We were able to streamline our processes and introduce the system to our field staff. Information they would normally tap into corporate office for is now at their finger tips and easy to find and use. The self-service portal has been a big hit with our employees as well. We are now totally paperless.

I don't really have anything that I least like other than support which has been addressed.

Very easy to use with minimal problems. At first there were issues directly after implementation but now little to no issues at all. Just improving as we go along.

implementation team could have been a bit more hands on as far as being more involved in our implementation and learning more about our company's needs.
