Utilization was ok, customer service terrible

What differentiates Dayforce from other similar products?

Moved from Dayforce to UKG, world of difference in all aspects of recruiting, talent management, on-boarding, timekeeping, payroll, benefits management, ease of use. Dayforce does not respond to complaint about incorrect billing practices. They are holding our employee information hostage until we pay for invoices through 2024, even though we ended our service with them in July 2022. Numerous emails and no follow up.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It was alright for a time.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The product didn't offer enough uses to justify the expense.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Don't do it! They have the absolute worst customer service and follow up. Unscrupulous tactics used by holding our employee information hostage.
