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.

Centralized management, useful information storage, but can feel clunky
We have found value in Work.com because it gave us a central place for capturing any opportunities-related information, such as client-related information. Additionally, it is a place for storing this information. Anyone in the organization, if it was being updated actively by the people or by the sales team, could have access to it. Once the contact information is there about any client, then it stays there. If you are approaching a client, you are able to check if there's any history. It's a good tool, but it all depends on how disciplined the sales team is in entering the information regularly.

Pros

"I have found the compensation management module to be very valuable and time saving."
"The pay policies and approvals are valuable features."

"The intuitive interface, reporting capabilities, and the fact that it really offers the full suite of HCM."
"Customer service is fabulous by some levels."
"Customer Service: Top notch. Technical Support: Top notch."
"Customer service is great."
"Technical support is excellent."
"We have found value in Work.com because it gave us a central place for capturing any opportunities-related information, such as client-related information."
"Employees in our company recognize each other daily for their contributions."
"Performance management and goals are the most valuable features."

Cons

"One area where UKG could improve is in its ability to understand its own competency and then work hard to improve it."
"Initial setup was too complex; an outside vendor set up the core."
"Customer service is 5/10, not the best. It is hit and miss; also have had to change AMs to get better response."
"Implementation in 2009-2010 was a bit bumpy due to changes with the UltiPro project team."
"Some reports are not accurate."
"Onboarding and Performance Management are areas with room for improvement."
"Advanced benefits administration should include more-complex benefit setups (ex: items dependent on something else)."
"Hard to mention one, but perhaps only the amount of time it takes to reach customer support, but once you're on the phone with someone, they seem to know exactly how to fix things given the right info."
"The pricing is higher than what we would have preferred to spend."
"I found Work.com a bit clunky. There were too many fields, but maybe that was the design. It could be company-specific to me. There were overlapping fields and sometimes it was confusing."
"The UI needs to improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform is not affordable but also not the most expensive."
"The pricing depends on the number of licenses we buy."
"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."
"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."
"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."
