Chose Kronos Workforce Dimensions / UKG Dimensions (discontinued)
workforce dimensions [have] better UI. WFC has been good for our business due to: a large number of adj rule triggers able to be stored in each profile, geo sensing vs geofencing, and a few other features. WFD as a cloud-based product is more reliable than on-prem solutions due …
Chose Kronos Workforce Dimensions / UKG Dimensions (discontinued)
Actually, I believe WorkForce Suite is still the best product for our organization at this time because of the flexibility of allowing the customer to create whatever is needed. We selected UKG Dimensions because we needed a schedule solution as well.

UKG Dimensions is by far and away [from] the best Timekeeping, Scheduling, and HR tool that I've used.
Chose Kronos Workforce Dimensions / UKG Dimensions (discontinued)
Dimensions [are] very similar to WFC with some UI changes and differences in things like the business structure and CRTs. We are going with Dimensions as UKG moves forward with the new software and away from WFC in the future.
Chose Kronos Workforce Dimensions / UKG Dimensions (discontinued)

Chose Kronos Workforce Dimensions / UKG Dimensions (discontinued)
UKG [Dimensions (formerly Kronos Workforce Dimensions)] was and is clearly in the lead vs. Frontline's time/attendance product (in our opinion). UKG for school districts is way more customizable and offers more of what we need.

Employees that come into work are needed to clock in to get paid for the amount of time they are working per day. They will log on to Darwinbox and clock in as soon as they can. Some will use the PTO they have available to use. HR will be able to make payroll in a timely manner for employees.

UKG Dimensions provides an extensive feature offering for advanced scheduling in non-procedural clinical settings and administrative operations. Although EZ-Call can be used for procedural areas the lack of out the box integration with [UKG] Dimensions creates an undesirable experience for departments needing both products. UKG [Dimensions] can increase customer adoption by offering a more integrated experience for clinical settings requiring both products.

Read full review
  • rule analysis- the rule analysis in this product is much cleaner and easy to follow compared to WFC
  • The level of granularity on FAPs is very helpful for configuring access compared to other platforms

Cons
  • It can improve its UI a little better and make it look more user friendly
  • It can provide a deep analysis about things and should provide a download feature for the analytics shown
  • It should increase its scalability for large organisation as i think it wont be able to handle it

  • Integrations need to be more accessible to the administration and more flexible in change adoption.
  • Performance Reviews need to be flexible on the cycles. We don't offer PR all on one focal date. We review employees on their anniversary dates.
  • Attendance Tracking needs to deliver more real-time notifications and correct itself real-time when exceptions or incidents are fixed.

Usability
Great tool, however the bugs mar its user experience. If solved for, and if the UI is improved on, it will be an amazing tool

UKG Dimensions is very user-friendly from an employee and supervisor standpoint. It is very robust on an admin level and can get complicated; however, you can do so many things with it that is outweighs the complexity. The security for UKG Dimensions needs to be revamped however. It is very cumbersome and not user-friendly.

  • Kronos Workforce Dimensions a new product, and it has a lot of scope for improvement, with future releases. One of the best tools to perform time tracking.
  • Their support team is very knowledgeable, and their SLA's are pretty tight. Any query raised would be addressed in a few hours.
  • Timeclock configuration can be complicated; however, their support team knows the processes and guidelines.

WorkForce Software has a solid foundation for enterprise scaled employee counts of 100,000 employees and supports multiple assignment configurations, i.e. one employee can have multiple timesheets that multiple managers can own. UKG has one employee to one timecard. It makes it hard for companies that have employees that can have multiple jobs within the organization that can have separate timecards that report to multiple managers. UKG works well for medium size employee counts, once over 10K employees, you start to see the system have performance issues. WorkForce was able to handle 80K employees and process an employee demographic file in 2 hours, while UKG with 26K employees takes 6 hours. WorkForce lacks end-user configuration documentation, while UKG has great documentation and training materials. UKG's user community is top-notch, while WorkForce's has before 3 years, there has been no improvement. UKG has a better support model for end-user support. Workforce provides database access and the ability to write javascript for integrations. UKG has no access to the database and uses APIs that are not [flexible] to retrieve data. End-user configuration for UKG does not require a programmer or IT professional, while WorkForce has a powerful rules engine policy editor that makes it highly [flexible].

Return on Investment
  • The ability to view the organization structure and functional structure for the entire company.
  • One-stop solution for talent acquisition, payroll, leaves, reimbursements, attendance (time-sheet), holidays, etc. So I don't have to open a lot of different apps.

  • Employee can now pickup open shift without us calling them
  • Employees can request PTO from the Web and mobile app without email and manual time entry
  • We are still constantly struggling and dealing with scheduling employees with multiple jobs
  • Without a working business structure automation, we are spending much more time dealing with department and job changes on the business structure
