NA at a university with 5,001-10,000 employees
A scalable solution with good functionalities, but customer support needs to improve
Customer support and getting help from MHR iTrent are not great at all. MHR iTrent concentrates too much on sales, like a selling mechanism. They don't concentrate on helping their existing clients get the most out of the solution. All they're interested in is selling you something else to add on.
Streamlined time tracking boosts operational efficiency across multiple regions
The time tracking feature is the most effective for employee management. UKG is used in Europe, the United States, Australia, and East Asian countries for HR activities like payroll. The application is like an ERP, providing comprehensive features for organizations, simplifying their processes, and reducing the need to use multiple software solutions.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The retrospection feature within iTrent is really good and better than what some other software provides. It's really useful."
"MHR iTrent's functionality and the payroll part are good."
"Onboarding goes very smoothly."
"Increased productivity in HR and Payroll departments."
"Good solution - still working out the kinks but confident we will get where we need to be!"
"The reliability and the expertise which they deliver are wonderful."
"It has helped with keeping track of employees time sheets, wage garnishments, and 401(k) deferrals."
"We switched from PeopleSoft to UltiPro; greatest decision ever for our small company of only 150 employees."
"It has improved our reporting information; it has given us the ability to provide rapid information to our managers."
"We have gone form 1200 employees processing paper reviews to having everything being online and at our finger tips."
 

Cons

"Customer support and getting help from MHR iTrent are not great at all."
"MHR's customer service needs to improve. It's dreadful at the moment. They're not very customer-focused."
"Customer service is 5/10, not the best. It is hit and miss; also have had to change AMs to get better response."
"Certainly, the time and attendance and the payroll integration need a lot of work. They are disjointed pieces, and they don't work smoothly together. That's the main drawback."
"This was my first time attending the convention and I was a little dismayed to find out that on the first day of registering that I could only sign up for one hands-on class."
"One area where UKG could improve is in its ability to understand its own competency and then work hard to improve it."
"Our deployment had a lot of issues...but with my few months at the company, I am finding these are self inflicted."
"Certainly, the time and attendance and the payroll integration need a lot of work. They are disjointed pieces, and they don't work smoothly together."
"We have encountered deployment issues; communication was very poor."
"Increase product knowledge in their customer service people. My experience has been when I speak with a support person, I know more than they do."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I wasn't involved in the pricing part. I'm a user, and I believe it is based on the user count. One thing that is nice about Ultimate is that you can learn how to use the system without additional fees. The learning aspect is the life of a product, and the training was a huge reason why we went with Ultimate. We did have some integration costs. They were a part of the implementation because of the integrations to other systems that we included in our implementation."
"UKG's pricing and licensing model involves ongoing expenses based on the number of employees paid. The initial implementation cost is low when UKG implements it directly. However, when partners handle the implementation, it becomes more expensive since partners don't receive the monthly recurring fees."
"The platform is not affordable but also not the most expensive."
"While I am unsure of the licensing cost itself, the total cost of implementation and licensing for a company with over 5000 employees would be around 6,00,000. So, there are additional costs beyond licensing."
"The pricing depends on the number of licenses we buy."
"If you're going for the full suite, it can be fairly pricey."
