The impact is that everything is in one place, our team also created content in the HUB and this has been extremely helpful and useful for employees to access information as needed. This has everything from benefits information to compliance. The tool has helped employees get …

I have not used any other systems than Dayforce.
Chose Dayforce
It’s been very helpful. With our HR and Payroll operating separately this has helped us eliminate many other steps.
Chose Dayforce
It is much easier to have access to all employee information in one place. At my other companies, we used different programs for different aspects of HR. If you needed information, you had to call people in other offices/locations to find what you were looking for. Dayforce …

Having Payroll, HR, Time, and Benefits all in a single application with Dayforce has significantly improved efficiency and accuracy. Unlike other solutions with third-party integrations, Dayforce eliminates data silos, reduces errors, and saves time by streamlining processes, …

It has been timesaving having all in the same application as for the most part information flows over. We have had some issues using Lever being integrated into our payroll system. We have also had issues with taxation and retro adjustments. We have to manually fix them. It …

ADP has a lot of system errors, especially on Mondays. I haven't noticed anything like that working with Dayforce. But I like that you can easily access employee's timecard via ADP, by just searching an employee and open its timecard. In case of Dayforce, you have to open …
Chose Dayforce
By having a single application we have seen an increase in our efficiency and an accuracy in our data. Our previous system had third party modules for many systems and they didn't do a good job "talking" to each other. Our data was often incorrect, charging employees the wrong …

Not something I personally work with
Chose Dayforce
Due to it being an all-in-one application, we are able to look at the information that is stored and make meaningful and accurate decisions based on that info instead of trying to pull information from
Chose Dayforce
We have noticed huge time savings across a variety of processes.
Chose Dayforce
Dayforce is one of the only systems that allows us to list multiple work assignments. In the fitness industry this is crucial since most team members do multiple jobs. Having everything in one place makes our jobs as administrators so much easier. Couldn't imagine using modules …
Chose Dayforce
I have found the process to be more straightforward. When you have data flowing back and forth, you can update once and not worry about it. In the past, we had a file feed from time and attendance to payroll. The biggest problem was that when you missed that feed, you had to …
Chose Dayforce
Processes flow nicely having all in one system and there is one contact (Dayforce) in case there in an issue. Once you understand how the system works, you will understand how the system flows. I have worked in another payroll system where we had to upload timecards. While it …
Chose Dayforce
Less integration, allows for more timely processing, less errors and maintenance and creates a system to be a one stop shop.
Chose Dayforce
I love having all the time data, benefits, and HR employee data including compensation in one system. Is wonderful when pulling reports etc.

the ease of use in unmatched in my experience with other vendors. We are able to use Ceridian Dayforce to accomplish many goals without the need for other vendors. However, we do have other outside vendors we are required to use that we are able to integrate successfully with …

Lattice is more fully featured than BambooHR on the performance management functionality. It allows greater customization and more capabilities. If your company is mid-sized or large, Lattice is the way to go. However, it does require having some staff dedicated to …

Lattice outperforms PeopleHR for a people development system, we continue to use PeopleHR for the HR functionality of the system but rather than having everyone upload their document with no real tracking on is one of the main reasons we have chosen to adopt Lattice. Lattice is …

At the time lattice allowed us to move off these two systems and use a single service. Both GTMhub and officeVibe were better tools but having a single sorce of trueth for our employees was more important. Since then officeVibe has caught up to Lattice and I can see it being a …
Chose Lattice
I don't remember the name of the specific product that I used previously, however, Lattice is the best performance tracker that I've used in comparison to the tools used at my previous jobs - some of which were more manual created a heavier lift for the user.
Chose Lattice
This is the first of its kind and so far from my experience, I am happy with it.
Chose Lattice
They are both effective, but Lattice is more user friendly and efficient.
Chose Lattice
Way better and geared towards what we needed.
Chose Lattice
To be honest, Lattice has been the only commercially known performance tracking tool that we've used. But I love it so far.
Chose Lattice
Lattice was the only platform we did a deep dive into. It was exactly what we were looking for and the reason we went with them is because of the public feedback module they have built-in as that was a really important aspect for us.
Chose Lattice
I haven't used another item similar to Lattice
Chose Lattice
Rippling also has an org chart feature, similar to Lattice. I feel as though Lattice's org chart is easier to read and break down by department.
Chose Lattice
The above tools do different things than Lattice. Lattice is more of a review system and greenhouse is for hiring and slack is for communication. I think Lattice is better in communication as you are talking through the issues rather than someone reading them in a chat. …

I was not part of the evaluation process but having used both, I would say that Lattice has more features and use cases then HighFive, which was fitting for our HR team as they were looking for a partner that can provide more to the broader team, and Lattice has proven to be …

We previously used ADP's Performance Mgmt module and found it to not meet any of our needs. In the fall of 2020, I sourced/contacted three vendors - Lattice, Goal Span & Performance Culture & had demos of their offerings. Lattice checked all of the boxes we were seeking; …
Chose Lattice
Lattice is better in the fact that we can leave anonymous feedback. I don't believe Asana afforded us that functionality.
Chose Lattice
Compared to Zenefits that we used in the past Lattice is more powerful as it allows to link performance management to setting and achieving goals all in one place. Lattice is much easier and more comprehensive to use especially in a multi-team project setting as it allows to …
Chose Lattice
I don't think there is a natural substitute for Lattice. Trello has some of the same functionalities in terms of assigning items directly to individuals, but Lattice does a better job at tracking and grading the level of completion for each task. I haven't found any decent …

Dayforce has great customer support, and you can always count on them to get you the professional help you need. It is a great place to store all your personal data in a very secure manner by assigning different user roles. The only thing where I wouldn't see it appropriate is for very small-scale companies, less than 50 people.

Lattice is very well versed in all things with performance and goals, but it is a separate program from the rest I work in; it would be nice to be able to integrate it into other programs I work out of more frequently. I do enjoy being able to have a program where I can track my goals and job growth.

Pros
  • Payroll - it shows everything in real time and it runs quickly.
  • People - Having all employee details from the offer letter to W2 information in the same spot.
  • Dayforce Wallet: The on-demand feature is fully integrated with Timesheets and Payroll. What shows in one will be in the other.

  • Giving me up to date information and tasks that enable me to complete necessary training experiences.
  • Giving me a user friendly interface/platform that allows me to communicate with coworkers, supervisor, etc.
  • It notifies me when I have things to do, and when I have completed necessary tasks.
  • It gives me a bank of completed tasks so that I can chronologically follow my progress over time as I have been with my organization.

Cons
  • In payroll, there are sometimes issues with calculating pay when people’s rates change mid-pay period
  • Would love to see an option to assist with building SQL or XML statements in the future (maybe co-pilot AI?)
  • Would love an easy way to store pre-hire documents with candidates that syncs over to their HR profile when hired

  • it is not intuitive how to find a past review you wrote for someone that doesn't directly report to you
  • Lattice app (for phone) is very limited in scope and doesn't have face ID
  • sales team can be misleading; need to really double check and push on important issues

Usability
I give Dayforce a 10 because it was easy to integrate into our network since it was cloud-based. It is also user friendly and easy to maneuver around the web site. We were able to integrate three separate applications into just one site which made it easier for employees to access the tools they need

Reliability and Availability
Dayforce's high availability ensures that our HR processes are supported around the clock, which is critical for a global organization like ours. The platform is cloud-based, offering reliable access from any location at any time, allowing our employees, managers, and HR teams to stay connected regardless of time zones or geographic locations. This level of availability ensures that payroll processing, employee self-service, and real-time data access continue uninterrupted, even during peak periods or unforeseen disruptions. The system’s robust infrastructure minimizes downtime, which is vital for operations that span multiple regions. Additionally, having a centralized platform that’s always available helps keep our teams aligned, ensures compliance, and facilitates timely decision-making across all our locations.

Performance
We haven't noticed any slow-down due to the integration of Dayforce WFM with our Ceridian HPL products (HRIS and Payroll). The new HTML view of the timesheets don't load as quickly as the old Silverlight view - however, we have gotten used to the change.

Support Rating
This is dependent on what type of support that is needed. Ceridian has opportunities to make improvements relating to support on the global/UK side. I find it challenging to get problems solved quickly with our UK Native payroll. The US side is different. We tend to get our issues resolved quickly when we encouter issues on the US side.

Lattice Support is not that good. We have had to have calls with them in the past and their product team did not have a lot of knowledge about their product. I believe they are able to provide a much better level of service and that would increase my likelihood to work with them again.

Have a strong internal team. Communicate with your implementation team - they are there to make it work for you. Take the time to really think about how you want the system to work for you - in some cases, you may need to rethink your own business practices to see if you are working harder when the system could do it for you

Having Payroll, HR, Time, and Benefits all in a single application with Dayforce has significantly improved efficiency and accuracy. Unlike other solutions with third-party integrations, Dayforce eliminates data silos, reduces errors, and saves time by streamlining processes, providing a more cohesive and user-friendly experience. Dayforce also had a competitive price point versus competitors
Read full review
These other platforms are great at their own thing- like payroll for the most part, but some don't have native performance tools at all (ADP), and some are just so shallow and designed to just check the must-have boxes for orgs primarily focused on Payroll. Gusto and TriNet/Zenefits try to be all-in-one solutions, but their foundations are payroll and HRIS, respectively, so their performance and engagement tools are either missing or severely lacking
Read full review
Scalability
Overall, we are extremely happy with the Dayforce WFM module. Our biggest pain point is concerning the twice annual software upgrades - which is the only reason I haven't rated them as a '10'. Because every customer is configured differently, the upgrades can sometimes have adverse effects on our current configured policies/rules. And although they roll-out the upgraded version in a test environment several weeks before go-live, not all testing is accurate in that environment. Some issues do not present themselves until you are working with live punches.

Return on Investment
  • Easy to integrate to SAP Fiori an BlueWorx
  • The efficiency within Ceridian DayForce has allowed our payroll department of only 2.5 FTE handle paying ~3,000 employees.
  • Easily handles the differences and nuances in our multiple bargaining agreements. Everything from different pay schedules and unique rates/bonuses for some of the most detailed/granular CBA details.

  • a different method to reaching the whole company that isn't through email or slack, not cluttering peoples inbox but having a dedicated space for praises and goal planning
  • where company data about personnel is stored and a way to engage with them and set up cadences for meeting and feedback, giving us a one stop shop instead of multiple avenues
  • a forum where we do all company surveys. from engagement surveys to mid-year reviews. makes this process streamlined and less fussy and confusing
