It was much better than Ascentis... UKG acquired our old HRIS and they improved the interface. The customer service was pretty good too.

What do you like best about UKG Pro?

Ultimate Software systems are reliable with all payroll tax rules and regulation. I rely on the Payment Services team to make sure my taxes are filed since we place nurses in 50 different state on short term assignments. There are multiple challenges with employees moving from state to state throughout the year to make sure we are withholding and reporting correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UKG Pro?

The system is not built for Healthcare staffing company. Wish we have peers who are in the same industry so we can share best practices. We create our own best practices with what Ultimate Software can do and how we need it the best we can but would be nice to have peers to bounce challenges and ideas with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering UKG Pro:

Do your due diligence and ask alot of questions as to how your specific needs work within the system. Build your platform during implementation so that it will handle all your needs but have the flexibility to accommodate future growth and new plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are in the midst of activating UTM for our internal staff so that we can have a reliable time keeping and scheduling system for our internal staff. We are able to do this because Ultimate finally allows us to carve out just the internal staff to use this module and not having to pay for all the head count we have within in our company. Our nurse who travels from assignments to assignments already have this so we did not want to pay for the larger portion of our employee count because we don't need it for them.

What do you like best about UKG Pro?

The payroll module is very robust and is able to be configured to all our unique needs.

HR Core is great too, as employee records contains everything from personal to tax to career & education to career development information.

Cognos is an amazing reporting tool. It is so wonderful to have a reporting tool to easily create reports from.

The idea sharing website that Ultipro offers to Customers is also very nice. It is so wonderful to have this site to vote and share ideas from end users. Ultipro has implemented ideas from customers, which is awesome as you feel like you have a hand in driving updates.

Ultipro's Rapid Response Team is terrific, they are always friendly and able to help with all questions when you call in and turn around time is very fast.

With Ultipro you have so much support from your Executive Manager to Account Manager. You are never left feeling like you do not know where to turn for help.

UltiUniversity is also an amazing tool, as you have on demand webinars at your finger tips and the learning center is always available to research

The open enrollment feature was a good tool, it was nice not to have to comb through and review paper copies of changes, then have to manual make these changes, although we did have our hiccups with this feature. This tool captured the changes and made the updates, it was nice to not have all the extra data entry at year end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UKG Pro?

Open Enrollment and ACA are not as robust as we had hoped. We had a lot of hiccups this year in both areas, but have come up with internal solutions to help us out this next open enrollment period. I believe Ultipro can offer enhancements to the ACA logic, but unfortunately with the complexity of ACA some of the issues are just nature of the beast.

Completing external interfaces has been very challenging. It takes a while to get a consultant to be assigned to your case(s). When you do get assigned a consultant, you definitely need to have your thoughts in order about what needs data needs to be on a report, there is very little room for being indecisive. Make sure to thoroughly test! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering UKG Pro:

Is Ultipro perfect? No, but truly what system is? None, each product has its positives and negatives. But what I do love about Ultipro is their commitment to continually improvement and how they involved their customers. This company genuinely embodies their moto People First. They are a great company to partner with to lead us into the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have had a reduction in manual data entry. It is so nice to have hired applicants data flow from the Applicant Tracking System to Onboarding then into Core.

The employee portal and professional looking pay stubs has been a huge win for us with our employees. It was also been a win for employees to have access to change certain information on their employee record, like addresses, direct deposit and W-4.

Reporting was also a painful process for us, but with Cognos it is so simple. This is a wonderful feature and has been a great asset for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UKG Pro?

I like that I have control to make changes to employees and add earnings/deduction codes. I also like the general ledger posting that I create monthly. I like having my Account Manager to help when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UKG Pro?

The Customer Success Portal needs improvement. There should be a way to see what each case (past and present) is about without having to open it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering UKG Pro:

UltiPro will help you when you need it, but ultimately you are in control. It is up to you to check that your information in accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The UltiPro app has helped a great deal! Our employees like opening the app on their phone with their fingerprint, looking at their information and requesting time off. Our managers like being able to approve time off requests through the app. This app has cut down on our employees' questions since they are capable of easily finding things out themselves. I would like the capabilities of the app to keep expanding! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UKG Pro?

Ultipro gives you the tools to be successful and self sufficient without requiring a lot of support. It's great to have a system that we fully control and manage. They continue to invest in the product, providing regular upgrades with meaningful and beneficial changes that positively impact the end user from the system admin, to the daily employee or manager self service user. The software is intuitive and easy to follow. Anyone can find their way in Ultipro from the president of our company to system admins to every day employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UKG Pro?

We struggled with lack of support we needed after immediately going live. We had an awesome implementation team and felt we were thrown out to sea when they transitioned off. We needed more hand holding, especially with a 4th quarter go-live date. Future dating was our biggest pain point, until we really understood how it works! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have one Payroll and HR system now that is always in sync. We have manager and employee self service and almost all of our staff use Ultipro on a regular basis. Performance Management was a huge hit for us. The BI reporting tool is great with so much functionality and features, we have set up dashboards, scheduled reports and event notifications to drive our business processes.

What do you like best about UKG Pro?

I really appreciate the ability to understand their customer, iterate on ideas and solutions that matter most to customers and the intentional focus on developing quality relationships with their clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UKG Pro?

At this time, I only dislike the fact that features I would like to see may not come out for a while. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As a mid-sized organization that is striving to provide the same level of service and support as our competitors, we wish to leverage technology to get us there more efficiently and effectively. This technology has allowed us to shape the company culture at a faster trek by providing deep insights that are simplistic and actionable for leaders throughout the organization. There are a multitude of benefits to this, reduction of staff researching time (Cost save), more time allowed for consultation and appropriate action planning (Maximizing key talent), and also discovery of insights that are relevant to each leader(Creating a more curious culture). Through the use of perception, unlike before, leaders are able to discover, through sound analysis, similarities and differentiators of culture within their own organization. This allows them to have a robust set of knowledge that empowers managers to focus more on what matters most to move their teams forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about UKG Pro?

The Ultipro system has afforded us the opportunity to streamline many business processes for HR and Payroll along with providing easy and accurate labor allocations which are critical to us as a not-for-profit organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UKG Pro?

Like all automated systems, not everything works exactly as you wish for your particular organizational needs, but despite encountering some features that are not exactly in line with our unique organizational needs, the representatives at Ultimate and especially our Executive Relationship Manager are very eager to listen to our concerns and challenges and work towards finding solutions or making sure relevant contacts within Ultimate Software become aware of features that could benefit us as they develop enhancements going forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We moved to the Ultipro system six years ago and have been able to streamline payroll processing considerably (we process close to 50 payrolls each week) for our payroll and site staff, we have fully automated time and attendance allowing timesheet data to flow directly in to payroll, we have eliminated all paper PTO forms by utilizing the automated time off request features, benefit processing has been streamlined with data exchange feeds to our insurance carriers along with our utilizing the electronic open enrollment system which again allowed us to eliminate use of paper forms. We recently moved to utilizing the workflow process for Managers to process employee changes, salary adjustments, transfers and terminations further reducing paper forms previously used for these transactions. In addition, we have been utilizing the Recruiting Portal for online applications and processing of New Hires which is further streamlining HR Onboarding processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Micole Garatti, MBA of UKG Pro

Hi Colleen - thank you for providing us with feedback. We're thrilled to hear we have helped your organization streamline workflows. Have a great day and happy holidays!

What do you like best about UKG Pro?

The customer service, hands down. The main reason we switched HRIS systems is because of the lack of customer service we had before. Ulti is great, with the support cases that you can easily submit, you don't ever need to wait on hold to talk to someone. They call you and are always so incredibly friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UKG Pro?

Dating functionality takes getting used to. Future dating and historical dating is confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering UKG Pro:

The implementation is really hard, but very worth it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With so much training available to managers, we spend less time training managers. We will soon be saving the organization money by developing and implementing the Applicant Tracking System, but almost everything has gotten better with Ulti. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UKG Pro?

UltiPro uses a wizard like format for all information updates; its fairly simple and intuitive to understand any type of information update.

Allows companies to go paperless included the employee file.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UKG Pro?

Support is all done from a ticketing function; sometime the service level is lacking and Ultimate is not responsive or can't resolve matters quickly.

Ultimate like to charge you for all extras (i.e. document acknowledgement tools) within core HRMS system.

Benefits enrollment is generic and clunky.

Workflow configuration takes some

Resetting passwords via the homepage does not work and becomes an administrator duty.

They nickel and dime you for file integrations with third party vendors

Premium charges for other modules (recruiting, onboarding, employee engagement, etc...)

Timekeeping is clunky

Most of payroll functions are still within their backoffice platform, not core

Performance management module supports basic annual reviews; does not support 360's or peer reviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering UKG Pro:

Depending on the need of the product, their may be more efficient and cost effective platforms out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Report automation

Employee Self-Service Deployment

Manager self-service deployment

Paperless records

Automation of most employee life cycle functions

Response from Micole Garatti, MBA of UKG Pro

Hi Michael, thanks for your feedback. We're happy to hear that you enjoy the fact that UltiPro is intuitive and supports paperless processes. I do see that you have some concerns and have shared them with the team to help us improve.

I also just wanted to address some of your concerns and reassure you that we do have those capabilities! Almost all payroll functions, minus a handful of one-time setup functions, are available in both the Backoffice and in the web Portal.

Additionally, we do support 360 and Peer Feedback. Administrators and Managers can import or add other employees as additional contributors in Performance Reviews. Admin/managers can also can determine the level and weight of feedback that is collected from additional contributors.

If you're not seeing these features, feel free to reply here or email me at feedback@ultimatesoftware.com (email is much faster!) and we can work together to make sure you are getting the proper information you need! Perhaps we can review your system setup or share the proper (free) training to make sure you are achieving the HR and business goals you are looking to achieve.

I hope you have a wonderful day!

What do you like best about UKG Pro?

The things I like best about this system are Electronic Record Management (ERM), Performance Management, Time Management, and Payroll Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UKG Pro?

Duplication of tasks because of lack of functionality. When marking trainings as completed we have the ability to enter a renewal date but the renewal date is only stored in the system and doesn't trigger any processes to reassign that same training for that date. Which means annual trainings have to be assigned after marking them as completed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With UltiPro we have been able to keep employee information stored digitally instead of in paper files, this gives managers access to information quickly and without having to depend on any one person to get that information. We have also been able to meet our reporting needs simplifying many processes within our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
