UKG Pro has been a useful tool for HR process streamlining overall. It provides an extensive feature set that includes payroll and personal administration. Even though it is a little bit complex user experience, the technology has significantly increased the productivity of our process.

Pros

UKG Pro's features including managing teams, a user-friendly interface, seamless integration of payroll, time tracking, and other HR features made it very efficient tool. The robustness and adaptability of the reporting tools significantly increase value in an organization.

Cons

It takes some time to fully understand all the functions, and the first setup might be complicated and time-consuming to learn and familiar with the UI/UX. Periodically, there are lags when moving between modules.

UKG Pro Review

Reviewed on 2024/01/16

Pros

Cost, their modules, integrations with other systems, the look/feel, user-friendliness of the modules, their security platform, user interface experience, global support and overall organization.

Cons

At the time, we wanted to go with their Ulit-Time Mgmt for timesheets, but they were in the midst of sunsetting that module, so we were forced to move to their Ulti Time and Attendance module. Other than that minor hiccup, there is nothing else that I dislike about UKG Pro.

Alternatives Considered

Paycom, Oracle Database and Workday HCM

Reasons for Choosing UKG Pro

We were with Ceridian for 30 years through various variations of their HR/Payroll Web system. It was extremely clunky, not user friendly, hard to pull data as it was extremely customized, the system did not sync with other (newer) systems, it did not support global emps, and in short, it was time to move on to new system.

Switched From

Dayforce HCM

Reasons for Switching to UKG Pro

UKG was a perfect fit for our organization. It fit our current and future visions as well as, our budget and what we wanted to pay for a new HCM system.

UKG Pro The Way to Go?

Reviewed on 2024/01/19

Pros

We switched to UKG as they were able to provide us with a more robust payroll and timekeeping system in combination with UKG Workforce/Dimensions. In particular we needed the scheduling functionality that Dimensions offered.

Cons

The basic functionality of the system is fairly intuitive, but once you move away from the basic functionality of the system it gets complex and requires a lot of training through the UKG University or monkeying around to figure out. Some of their documentation is outdated. You can tell that some parts of the system were built quick and dirty to get the job done, but lack quality control. For example, there are some fields that you can't see unless you go into the edit view. Support is helpful, though for non urgent matters can be slow at times. We bank with a smaller bank and UKG is not set up to work well with them.

Kronos uses ticket system for non payroll critical cases. Just closed a case after 9 months. Payed our PA taxes late and reported last 3 qtrs in a row and wanted us to pay the interest charge. UKG refused to address this issue. UKG tweaked system to stopped calculating holiday pay; to stop calculating 403b employer match; to prevent some shift codes to stop calculating.

Pros

UltiPro was fine until Kronos purchased them. There are really none since Krones purchased UltiPro. Virtually every week, Krones makes a tweak in their system that adversely affects us.

Cons

UKG does not care anymore. The one thing that has improved is UKG support staff have become much better at excuses takes much longer to find solutions. When they tweak their system that causes us to have errors, they act like they don’t understand. Instead of them fixing the issue, they send us highly technical instructions to make our own fixes. They actually outsource the solution to use to fix the problem they created and then when the solution does not work properly, they blame us missing a step.

Overall this is an excellent system for payroll, HRIS, reporting, timekeeping, time off request and approval processes, benefits and onboarding. The system is extremely easy to use. There are numerous standard reports available, which can be saved as a template for quicker report generation. The People Analytics (IBM Cognos) provides the ability to create an unlimited number of reports.

Pros

For payroll processing and reporting UKG Pro is definitely the best software I have used in my more than 40 years in payroll.

Cons

Payment Services is the only area where UKG Pro can improve. Especially in timeliness of tax code set up, agency notice research and resolution, and amendment processing.

We are now integrating with NetSuite and, although it is a long process, UKG has worked with us to get this going.

Pros

We have used the product for 10+ years. I guess you can say we really like it. It does most things effortlessly.

Cons

I wish we could do more with the PTO codes. They just revised the Customer Success portal and I feel they went backwards a few steps. I believe they will rectify this soon. Sometimes they are slow in responding to cases.

14 Years and Still Improving

Reviewed on 2023/08/18

Pros

The level of service we continue to receive from UKG is what satisfies us most about our relationship with them. UKG Pro met our needs well 14 years ago and through 3 acquisitions we've made over time, it continues to do so, especially considering the continued enhancements that have been made in the software.

Cons

Even after all this time, we continue to work on our use of Business Intelligence (Cognos) and its vast capabilities. It is a great tool and we've only just begun to tap its potential.

Utilizing the app for payroll and for tax reporting was an important reason we chose the program. I had worked with it in the past in my previous role with another company so it was easy to adapt to what my current company was using it for.

Pros

What I like the most is the ease of use. I had no idea what UKG pro was until I came to my current job. We use it for 80% of the things needed in the computer. Easy to navigate , it alerts you and make sure that you’re sure about what you’re going to submit or change and it ask you if you want to save the changes . It give you a lot of prompts before you make a final yes or no.

Cons

There is a lot of great information available that assist with employee management. The user interface is sometimes rough. The app intermittently "goes down" and does not allow employees to clock in or out.

Pros

The employees have the ability to request time changes and adds. All the admin has to do is click approve or refuse.

Cons

It is not very easy to navigate if you are wanting detailed information. It is also not very easy to read on some screens for example if you are looking at PTO requests to see what is submitted or approved. It is visually difficult to interpret sometimes.

As a software QA engineer, I am astonished that this software went to market. It's not user-friendly and is full of bugs. I would never consider signing off on such a mess. I've been encouraging our HR team to switch to another, user-friendly software.

Pros

It's what I'm stuck with, unfortunately. The one thing I can actually find easily is my pay history. Everything else is horrible.

Cons

EVERYTHING about it is difficult, if not downright impossible to use. Want to change or edit that typo in your quarterly goals? You can't. Want to specify the number of dollars to direct deposit to your credit card? Not happening. Request vacation time instead of sick time? Nope. Want to click on the "Save" button to proceed to the next screen? It's not there. Want to review your previous goals, else? It MAY be possible, IFF you can remember how to navigate the labyrinth of screens to get there (but don't expect to see all of your goals at the same time- it's not possible, either.)
