"Fast, Intuitive Tab System with Easy Onboarding and Reliable Offline Access"

5/5

What do you like best about UKG Ready?

The best aspect of the program is its ability to hold onto your login information, and even store information from when you are offline. The tab system is intuitive and makes it easy to manage people you supervise, it integrates easily into physical devices with either an app, website, or proprietary devices. The system performs quickly, only sometimes taking longer than normal due to latency. It makes onboarding easy with a few quick settings and in the case of my organization IT is able to automate that process. I do not know about pricing from my position. There is not any integration of AI and I hope it remains that way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UKG Ready?

The punch system can be frustrating, but often is my own fault. Along with the notifications that tend to most often be unimportant while deadlines are not notified as clearly as I would like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Timekeeping Tool That Keeps Things Organized"

4/5

What do you like best about UKG Ready?

What stands out most is how reliable it is for managing timekeeping and employee data in one place. Once the workflows are set up correctly, it runs pretty smoothly and gives you a consistent process for tracking hours, approvals, and employee records.

I also like the visibility it provides. Being able to see employee data, time entries, and errors in one system makes it easier to catch issues early and keep things accurate for payroll.

Another big plus is the configurability. You can tailor workflows and settings to match how your organization operates, which is huge when you’re dealing with different clients or processes.

Overall, it’s a solid system for keeping things organized and standardized, especially when you have a lot of moving pieces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UKG Ready?

Honestly, it can feel a little clunky at times. Some things that should be simple take more steps than you’d expect, and it’s not always super intuitive for new users.

Troubleshooting is probably the biggest pain point. When something breaks or doesn’t sync right, it’s not always obvious where the issue is, so you end up spending extra time digging or reaching out to support.

Reporting can also be a bit of a hassle. The data is there, but pulling it in a clean, easy way isn’t always straightforward.

Overall, it works well once everything is set up, but it definitely takes some effort to get there and keep it running smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is UKG Ready solving and how is that benefiting you?

UKG Ready helps centralize timekeeping and employee data so we’re not bouncing between multiple systems to track hours, approvals, and employee info. That alone cuts down on a lot of confusion and manual work.

It also helps standardize processes. Having one system for time entry and approvals makes it easier to keep things consistent across teams and locations, which is huge for payroll accuracy.

From a support side, it gives better visibility into what’s going on. We can see time entries, catch issues earlier, and fix things before they turn into bigger problems on payroll.

Overall, it saves time, reduces errors, and keeps everything a lot more organized compared to trying to manage it across multiple tools or spreadsheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive, Empowering System with Effortless Reporting"

5/5

What do you like best about UKG Ready?

Intuitive system to use. I get the "keys to the kingdom" so I can change settings any time. I can troubleshoot issues. Reporting is a breeze (every screen is basically a report that you just slice/dice)! Implementation team was fantastic to work with. Sales process was easy and quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UKG Ready?

Payroll processing is clunky with too many steps. A new version is being released soon so I am hopeful it will resolve this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient and User-Friendly Employee Management"

4.5/5

What do you like best about UKG Ready?

I like using UKG Ready because it's an easy way to manage my information as an employee. It simplifies the process of clocking in and out, updating personal and tax information, submitting time off requests, and seeing my estimated pay—all on the same page. I find the main options readily accessible on the first page, which makes navigating the system straightforward. It's more updated and easier to use compared to what we used before, like Paylocity. The initial setup was easy; HR did most of the work, and I just had to update some personal information, and then I was good to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UKG Ready?

Requesting time off should be easier. Sometimes I cannot find the option or don't understand the menu. Sometimes I go straight to select the date and after clicking for a few minutes it does not do anything because I have to select the time off type on the top.

Hi Jamie, We're pleased to hear that it has simplified your employee management tasks. We understand your concerns about the time off request process and will work to make it more intuitive for users.

"Effortless Time Management, Needs a Modern Touch"

5/5

What do you like best about UKG Ready?

I like UKG Ready's simple basic layout and user-friendly platform. It's not complicated to use and doesn't have a lot of mumbo jumbo that can seem confusing for users. Normally, trainees can adapt to UKG with only one training session. I find it easy to implement when I log in because everything is basically laid out for me. The platform's design, with basic instructions on the main screen, makes it very easy to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UKG Ready?

Well, UKG, although it's simple, it can seem like it's, you know, outdated, but it really isn't. So I guess a few updates to make it look a little bit more 2026 would be cool, but without changing the basic layout that makes it so great to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient and User-Friendly with Room for Streamlining"

4.5/5

What do you like best about UKG Ready?

I'm really enjoying UKG Ready, it's been working great so far. I appreciate the calculator feature as it helps me figure out how much I could make if I work a specific number of hours. I find it easy to operate and to communicate with HR. I can put a note next to my time to inform HR of changes or important updates. The initial setup was not too bad; it was a bit tricky at first, but now I've got the hang of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UKG Ready?

I guess it just has a lot of features that we don't use that are not necessary, if HR could have an option to toggle it off so it won't feel too cluttered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-Friendly Interface with Easy Setup"

4.5/5

What do you like best about UKG Ready?

I think the best thing about UKG Ready is that it's very easy to use. The interface is great and everything is straightforward, making all the features easy to locate. I also found the initial setup to be easy; as soon as I joined the company, I was able to sign in and get started right away on the website. Overall, UKG Ready provides a great experience and it's easy for a new person to get started with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UKG Ready?

The ability to sign in to UKG on the mobile app was initially pretty cumbersome for me. I had to find the original username for my company and then follow several steps to recreate that experience on my mobile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Time Corrections and PTO Requests with UKG"

The best thing I like about UKG is how easy it is to request a time change/correction or PTO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UKG Ready?

The one thing I dislike about UKG is sometimes it takes a while to load my information like my timesheet. I fear that I may have messed up a time slot and need to reload the page because the time sheet won't load up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-Friendly Once Acclimated, Ideal for Time Management"

4.5/5

What do you like best about UKG Ready?

I use UKG Ready for my timesheet and time off. It's easy to use once you know how to navigate it, and I find it convenient to put time off into the system. I like having one place to access all work-related items, which makes things streamlined and efficient. The initial setup was easy as well, which was a nice start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UKG Ready?

I think getting acclimated to UKG Ready takes time. I wish there was a drop-down menu showing all the different things to access. There should be a sidebar with a drop-down menu to lead you to all the different areas of the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
