    Considered Both Products
    UKG
    Chose UKG Pro
    Workday Human Capital Management looked fine, but they were light on some of the details and didn't seem as flexible as UltiPro.

    Chose UKG Pro
    I have used each of the other products at different workplaces. UKG Pro is a sweet spot of having the top features from each without most of the downsides of each.
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    We felt that Workday's sole focus was on the finance department and did not understand our needs.
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    I think UKG Pro by far beats any system
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    The organization already had UKG Pro - it was nothing that was chosen. As far as ranking, it would be last on the list.

    Chose UKG Pro
    UKG Pro is excellent software for its better performance and technical support for smartphone software, browsers on laptops or computers, tablets, ERP systems, etc. The company uses it for updating employees' information, office maintenance, arranging for training needs …
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    UKG Pro is comparable to the old WorkDay platform I was familiar with. One had advantages and disadvantages that the other did not have and vice versa. I don't know how that might have changed since I last used Workday many years ago, so they might be addressed by now. but …
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    Until I first evaluated and implemented the UKG Pro (UltiPro) SaaS system, my past experience was entirely with on-premise HCM/Payroll systems and/or third-party vendors such as ADP. I have been a COBOL software developer for 15 years, a Project Manager and Sr Implementation …

    Chose UKG Pro
    Workday is more suitable for global and SOX compliant organizations with requirements for localization settings for business processes, security, and regulatory reporting.
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    The WorkDay platform was not as user-friendly as UKG.
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    UKG Pro won hands-down. The flexibility, the family feel of the partnership, the customer support model, the reporting, the scalability, and the custom-programming needs of company-specific items were all much better than the competitors. The cost comparison also came in either …
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    UKG is more focused on HR than others which means the R&D is better spent for HR Professionals.
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    UKG [Pro (formerly Ultimate Software UltiPro)] was the best solution for our business and the most economical.
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    UKG had all the modules we were looking for, was highly configurable, and looked like it could grow with our business. Did not realize how much of the heavy lifting was needed on our part for implementation and ongoing. UKG does have its quirks and some workarounds are needed …
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    UKG offers the same, and mostly better, services in the majority of the areas that we "graded" for our company's needs: recruiting, time and attendance, payroll, reporting, manager self-service, employee self-service, benefits administration, personnel requisitions, …
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    Payroll is key for me, and UltiPro has that sewn up as far as efficiency and accuracy. I wouldn't consider anyone else at this point and I will never go back to mainframe processing again.
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    In my previous role, we used Workday. Initially, I liked the ability to get support for questions and issues. I think the support has gone downhill since I started using UltiPro. I think there are also some limitations to reporting and overall configuration that Workday did …
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    I didn't select UltiPro; the company chose it before I started. I think a lot of processes in UltiPro are easier to use to an extent; however, there are some functionalities of Workday that are more user-friendly and intuitive for the staff.
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    Workday Payroll is not at the same level of Ultipro and Workday as a company are not flexible and adaptable, so it would be hard to fulfill our business needs if we moved to Workday Payroll.

    SAP is a very comprehensive solution but would not be as flexible for our current needs …
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    The one advantage of competitors I see so far is a more extensive compensation workbench in Oracle. The ability to track financials in the same system as the HCM has been seen as a positive by the organization.

    Workday has a similar setup as UltiPro but does not appear to be …

    Second to UltiPro.
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    UltiPro was the right overall fit for our business needs at the time we were evaluating.
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    The sales process with UKG wasn't overly pushy and they didn't oversell the product. We were informed upfront about the features and limitations and they were absolutely honest with us the entire time. We also felt as if we were part of the family at UKG - which has a lot to …

    Workday
    Chose Workday HCM
    UKG can have some security issues with new user profiles on personal experience and its harder to adapt for elderly users. We had many situations where support was slow to respond to our tickets as the platform glitched or failed sometimes, unlike Workday HCM where all users …

    Chose Workday HCM
    Workday Human Capital Management looks at data from a different perspective and allows us to look at the same data from a macro level and a micro level and all points in between. It’s really amazing the data capabilities offered by Workday Human Capital Management.
    Incentivized
    Chose Workday HCM
    Workday blows SAP away in the human capital management space. Workday is extremely user-friendly where SAP made me want to pull my hair out on a daily basis, as did all of my coworkers. I think it this is mainly due to the fact the Workday is ONE platform, everyone gets the …
    Incentivized
    Chose Workday HCM
    The user interface is modern and quick to use, similar to Google and Amazon. The system works at a faster pace, allowing you to get more work done. There is a robust community of users that provide support, answers, and reporting templates (to name a few) when you have …
    Incentivized
    Chose Workday HCM
    We liked that all customers are on the same version of the product and the minimum bi-annual updates. The customization is in the business processes you build within the delivered system. No "Bolt Ons". The visibility to managers to their teams was another big plus and we like …
    Incentivized
    Chose Workday HCM
    We initially researched 30 and did 10 product demos. Our short list was HR Source, Ultipro, and Workday. Our need for multi-national really limited the short list. We picked Workday as their interface is head and shoulders above the other two. Ultipro was next closest. We also …
    Chose Workday HCM
    I wasn’t here when we made the selection. I was however, when we selected Workday at another company. At that time, we looked at Ultipro and Oracle Fusion HCM Cloud Service. To me, Ultipro looked very windows based. It did not have a hip cool UI and we knew that employees …
