Paypro Workforce ManagementKronos Workforce Dimensions / UKG Dimensions (discontinued)
Considered Both Products
Paypro Workforce Management
Chose Paypro Workforce Management
Paypro Workforce Management does stack up to other companies because of the customer service and the user-friendly, accessible website.
Chose Paypro Workforce Management
Paypro Workforce Management has much better reporting and data storage than Adams Keegan.
Chose Paypro Workforce Management
Better customer service.
Better understanding of my corporate environment.
More knowledgeable staff.
Chose Paypro Workforce Management
We used to use PayChex which we were not satisfied with and did not meet our needs.
Chose Paypro Workforce Management
Our company only uses the payroll and the time and attendance .
Chose Paypro Workforce Management
Payroll was a horror with ADP. There was never a smooth processing of data. It was almost impossible to get a rep on the phone and when I did - it took no less than an hour (or more) to get the issue resolved. Paypro is a smooth process from beginning to end. If I have a …
Chose Paypro Workforce Management
We investigated some lower-cost SMB solutions but for the most part, the absence of a strong support team just wasn’t worth it.
Chose Paypro Workforce Management
We looked at a number of solutions. To us, Paypro simply had everything we needed at a fair price, and they've been easy to deal with from the sale, implementation and customer service.
Chose Paypro Workforce Management
We have used in-house systems, ADP Total Source, and Valiant Services. This system, in my opinion, is more user-friendly and faster than others. We have more control on our end to process with flexibility that other systems just did not offer.
Chose Paypro Workforce Management
PayPro is very good at customer service. I love the one to one relationship I have with PayPro. When it comes to dealing with Vendors relationships are tricky. Customer service is a HUGE factor and PayPro excels at that! Previous Vendors could care less about our needs. We …
Chose Paypro Workforce Management
Used ADP TotalSource prior to Workforce. Customer service was not ideal and nickle and dimed everything. I used Paychex Flex at my previous location. Report writing was much easier and less cumbersome with Paychex.
Chose Paypro Workforce Management
Paypro is a million times better in every way than Paychex. I think ADP is more widely used. I had only ever used it for payroll and timesheets, so I think Paypro is equal to ADP in regards to those components. The positive of using Paypro over ADP, I think, would be the …

Chose Kronos Workforce Dimensions / UKG Dimensions (discontinued)
We believe UKG can deliver a comprehensive and integrated WFM solution.
Chose Kronos Workforce Dimensions / UKG Dimensions (discontinued)
UKG Dimensions is a more robust platform than UKG Workforce Central. Although there are some features in Workforce central that I already miss. I am so glad we purchased UKG Dimensions, as it is more suited for the Manufacturing industry. With UKG Dimensions, we will also have …
Chose Kronos Workforce Dimensions / UKG Dimensions (discontinued)
The Functionality in UKG Dimensions is extremely user-friendly and it did most of what we needed out of the box. Easy for an HR/PR Person who is tech-savvy to manage without too much support from IT.
Chose Kronos Workforce Dimensions / UKG Dimensions (discontinued)
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 …
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.
Chose Kronos Workforce Dimensions / UKG Dimensions (discontinued)
UKG Dimensions is complex and [simple] to use making it easier to embrace opportunities, ensure accuracy, and report on KPIs, which I was not able to do with other products.
Chose Kronos Workforce Dimensions / UKG Dimensions (discontinued)
The amazing new tools in Dimensions made it an easy choice for our corporation. Initially, we had reservations; however, UKG was able to step up to the plate and tackle every issue or concern we had. They were able to convince our senior leadership team that the migration to …
Chose Kronos Workforce Dimensions / UKG Dimensions (discontinued)
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)
Dimensions has so much more functionality over its predecessor, Workforce Central. We're really excited about workflows and automated tasks/communications based on triggers.
Chose Kronos Workforce Dimensions / UKG Dimensions (discontinued)
UKG Dimensions provides an enterprise-wide integrated suite for timekeeping, staff scheduling, and clocks. We were an existing Workforce Central customer for timekeeping only and were interested in providing holistic experience between staff scheduling and timekeeping. In …
Chose Kronos Workforce Dimensions / UKG Dimensions (discontinued)
Dimensions have been great for us with the customization. I have been informed that UltiPro had capabilities that were never built out. We had UltiPro and made the change right before and in the midst of the merger. The HCM side was much better in UltiPro in many ways but …
Chose Kronos Workforce Dimensions / UKG Dimensions (discontinued)
I think Workday has more attractive view and is simpler to understand.
Chose Kronos Workforce Dimensions / UKG Dimensions (discontinued)
Dimensions blow WFC away. So much more intuitive and end user-friendly. I can't wait for the rest of my organization to get a look at it.
Chose Kronos Workforce Dimensions / UKG Dimensions (discontinued)
I used a different time and attendance product (I don't know the name it was included in with our other applications) The ability to edit and approve time was more functional. The ease of requesting time off was better, such as requesting multiple days off with repeat …
Chose Kronos Workforce Dimensions / UKG Dimensions (discontinued)
We liked Ceridian Dayforce quite a bit but ultimately, for what we were spending, UKG Dimensions Timekeeping had more flexibility for our various types of employees and then brought our data together in a concise yet, informative way. Ceridian Dayforce has many of the same …
Chose Kronos Workforce Dimensions / UKG Dimensions (discontinued)
It was sold as the new, improved, much more robust Workforce Central. We chose Dimensions because Adobe Flash will no longer be supported and we needed to find another solution.
Since we were already using Kronos WFC and Workforce Telestaff, we had made some significant …
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.
Chose Kronos Workforce Dimensions / UKG Dimensions (discontinued)
Kronos Workforce Dimensions is a very robust time tracking tool, which provides much flexibility for configuring the timecard and various rules to pay overtime. Kronos Workforce Dimensions also has their own timecards, which would automatically integrate with dimensions. Thus …

Paypro Workforce Management has custom report building that is easy to use and manipulate for data you need to pull. The onboarding system is overly complicated and not user friendly. Workflows are overly complicated and a workflow for PAFs is non-existent, causing our company to have to use paper PAF forms.

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.

Pros
  • Reports, building/adding to reports, and exporting to Excel was a plus
  • The search bar was always on the screen to search any employee--very accessible
  • Viewing employee information and pay history was very accessible and can be customized
  • Entering payroll was very user friendly, easy, and had warnings--different reports to view before sending
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
  • UI is very easy to follow and intuitive

Cons
  • Report Writing: Canned reports are antiquated like a dinosaur. Users should be able to design their own reports like all other systems. Click and it's there. Currently, it's not at all what it can be.
  • Very rigid with contract: meaning when a rule change and/or policy has changed the company is charged in order to make the change.
  • Integration within the system. There are times when you change the information in the system then it randomly changes another section.
Read full review
  • 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
The system is very thorough, has an efficient layout, and is very user-friendly. It can handle massive amounts of data and spit it out in manageable and useful chunks. We obtain tons of workable data from the various reports that the system can provide us. When it comes to payroll and HR, it can handle everything that you need.

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.

Support Rating
Support has been amazing from day one! As an organization, we have challenged PayPro with some unique requests and every time they have figured out how to accommodate the request and make it work. Not to say they get it right on the first try but they work any issues all the way through until they get it right.

  • 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].

  • It's cheaper than other payroll company.
