    HR Manager in Human Resources at Fred Finch (Mental Health Care, 201-500 employees)
    Chose UKG Ready
    UKG is great for reporting and for having a pleasant UI. I find that Paylocity has a lot more innovation, but sometimes its reach exceeds its grasp when it comes to implementation of those features. ADP is bog standard, and it works pretty well, but there's little interest in …

    Chose UKG Ready
    Workforce Central was our first online time and labor maintenance system. We used it for about 10 years and though it worked, it was far too complicated for what we needed, and we overcomplicated the setup of it over the years to a degree that it was not functional. UKG Ready's …

    Better price for the feature set across the whole HR system. But you do trade that for reduced functions for each subsection.

    All I can say about Kronos is they know timekeeping. I have used both Workforce Ready and Workforce Central for timekeeping, projects/tasks, accruals, and attendance. Kronos does a great job. I can not speak to the HR and Payroll modules of these systems as I have never used …

    Chose UKG Ready
    We selected Kronos Workforce Ready as it was priced right for what we intended on using it for. We selected them also because we have been using Kronos Workforce Central for manufacturing and it seemed like the right thing to do for consistency in processes for timekeeping. It …

    Chose UKG Ready
    We evaluated Ceridian HCM Dayforce prior to implementing Kronos. In fact we were a Ceridian customer.
    The cost of the implementation was almost five times the cost for Kronos. We believed at the time of evaluation and it has proven true that Kronos is more innovative and keeps …

    We currently use Kronos Workforce central for normal business and it's extremely bulky and takes a long time (6-9 months) to implement.

    WFR beats out Workday in the area of having more sellable features. The only downside is many of those sellable features do not function properly or are limited in how they were designed. I still consider WFR a minimum viable product and many of the features are not ready for …

    Kronos Workforce Central had a more straightforward way to use it and a more user-friendly platform. Kronos Workforce Central had better pricing than UltiPro.
