The attention paid to what customers want in product services.

How has it helped my organization?

Was not with company during deployment.

How are customer service and technical support?

The company did not put people first.

What other advice do I have?

Keep improving. The changes coming in 2017 are a good start. Make your companies able to access more aspects of the system instead of contacting Customer Service

My company also considered Lawson and PeopleSoft before choosing this solution.

What is most valuable?

I love UltiPro. We have been a customer since 2004. At one point, we had nearly all of the modules, but our management made a decision to move to other solutions for Recruiting and Compensation Planning. This was primarily due to the availability of advanced features at that time. I'd love to have them take another look at UltiPro once those contracts come up for renewal in 2019.

How has it helped my organization?

We have improved efficiency in several areas. Employee self-service and workflow processing have been phenomenal improvements. We have also utilized event studio to automate notifications to interested parties. We are saving time, paper and money!

What needs improvement?

I am excited about the development of a job description component. I had asked about this several years ago!

For how long have I used the solution?

Since 2004 (our company) and for me personally since 2006.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

I missed the initial install, but subsequent modules were installed without incident.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

None.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

None.

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer Service:

10+!!! Ultimate's support team is by far the best I have ever worked with. Great people who are easy to build relationships with!

Technical Support:

Same as above. They rock!

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We used Dataease. I'm not sure what prompted the transition, but I'm glad it happened.

How was the initial setup?

Wasn't there for it :(

What about the implementation team?

I believe we used a consultant.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

To lock into rates if possible by signing a contract. Your rates are definitely better than those of your competitors.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Yes - Lawson and PeopleSoft.

I like the reporting tools and ease of employee self service.

What is most valuable?

Reporting tools and ease of employee self service.

How has it helped my organization?

Employees are able to easily enroll in new benefits online without any assistance.

What needs improvement?

I would like to see more options for automating 401k feeds/imports.

For how long have I used the solution?

5 months.

What about the implementation team?

We implemented with an in house team.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend that when implementing the product the actual coders be included in conversations.  Its seems that we are discussing issues with a third party which prolongs the process if questions or additional conversations are needed.
