CS
HR MANAGER at a financial services firm with 501-1,000 employees
Allows us to connect with, take care of, and nurture possible employees
The video function could be improved. Now that we do a lot of digital interviews, you can actually have your own video function. Still, I would prefer if it were more of a team function where you could change the background, for example. With everyone currently working from home offices due to lockdowns, some of the backgrounds look quite unprofessional. It would be nice if we could have our own unique background — for branding purposes during interviews. When we schedule an interview, in the message function, you can create a placeholder using a name, etc. I would like to have more generic placeholders and for them to be included in the message function when you schedule the interview.
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

"It's just an easy solution to connect with."
"From my experience, there's no better system currently on the market."
"The ease of use; UltiPro is easy for both the tech savvy HR person and those with limited knowledge of using HCM applications."
"Ultimate Software makes a great product, and it is always changing for the better!"
"The most valuable element is the benefits feature."
"We have been able to eliminate many paper forms and have streamlined some of our processes."
"Customer service is excellent."
"Customer service is great."
"With UTM, we have saved so much labor hours by reducing the manual data entry into Excel and then to import into payroll batches."
"Benefits, Life Events and OE have allowed us to move away from paper and integrate and track our data with our benefit providers, allowing us to better focus on improving benefits and communications versus data entry."
 

Cons

"The video function could be improved."
"The video function could be improved. It would be nice if we could have our own unique background — for branding purposes during interviews."
"Automation, rules for life insurance, etc., are areas with room for improvement."
"Only issues is slow response time when checks have needed to be voided or reissued for payees."
"Rollout of new products/communication is sometimes problematic."
"Ultimate is growing fast and this has occasionally impacted response time with the customer support team."
"From an implementation standpoint (not at my current organization), taking the time to truly listen and understand unique complexities that might be outside standard capabilities of the system."
"We did encounter scalability issues."
"Customer service is 5/10. Technical support is 5/10."
"The performance module would be ideally updated next since it has not had the full review like the others have."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay a fixed amount that includes support. I think it's a very good deal actually."
"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."
"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."
"If you're going for the full suite, it can be fairly pricey."
"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."
