Easy to use and configure, but needs better integration
Breezy HR could be improved with better integration. The only drawback I see is that it's a bit disconnected from other online tests or evaluations that we have to do, which means we may need to engage another tool. There is no easy or seamless way to integrate that information, so people have to go back and forth to fill in that information, and we find it a bit disjointed. Another improvement is in regards to resume filtering. For example, there is no internal solution for being able to score a resume for the relevant skill sets. If we get 100 resumes for a role, how do we stack-rank those files without having to manually read through each of the profiles? There are a few other tools that have embodied those advanced techniques which Breezy doesn't have.
Streamlined time tracking boosts operational efficiency across multiple regions
The time tracking feature is the most effective for employee management. UKG is used in Europe, the United States, Australia, and East Asian countries for HR activities like payroll. The application is like an ERP, providing comprehensive features for organizations, simplifying their processes, and reducing the need to use multiple software solutions.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"A valuable feature is that it provides an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure recruitment process for different roles. It also allows you to customize the recruitment process for different roles, which is very good."
"It is much easier to use and the customer service is better than our previous solution."
"The tool improved employee onboarding efficiency, especially in healthcare, where timely onboarding is crucial. This change directly impacted retention rates positively. It was a massive project that involved various teams working together. It took about a year to revamp the entire process and ensure compliance. However, once implemented, it improved employee satisfaction by saving them two whole days in the onboarding process."
"I like UKG's integration."
"The fact that I can see the whole HR information in a single point is valuable. There is a unified view of everything, which is good. Previously, we had many different systems for each part of the information. Now, it is all centralized. It is very good."
"We use the tool for various functions, including payroll, HR, recruiting, onboarding, and workforce management. We've implemented all these modules across all the clients I've worked with."
"The pay policies and approvals are valuable features."
"The solution's employee experience is pretty good."
"It enables us to manage the system ourselves. We don't need an additional team to do a lot of maintenance and add the things that we want."

"The tool needs improvement on the configuration side."
"The platform's features need enhancement while being used as a recruiting tool."
"One area where UKG could improve is in its ability to understand its own competency and then work hard to improve it."
"The system is slow sometimes."
"The solution could improve by simplifying it even more core reports, such as more sample reports, more generic reports that you can edit and improve on yourself."
"UKG could be a little more flexible in some areas."
"UKG has complex clock-in and clock-out features. It changes things too often, and it feels like the tool is constantly changing things without testing before implementing changes in production. Additionally, it doesn't communicate these changes very well."
"I would like the capability to use UKG as a single platform without the need to alternate between systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"UKG's pricing and licensing model involves ongoing expenses based on the number of employees paid. The initial implementation cost is low when UKG implements it directly. However, when partners handle the implementation, it becomes more expensive since partners don't receive the monthly recurring fees."
"I wasn't involved in the pricing part. I'm a user, and I believe it is based on the user count. One thing that is nice about Ultimate is that you can learn how to use the system without additional fees. The learning aspect is the life of a product, and the training was a huge reason why we went with Ultimate. We did have some integration costs. They were a part of the implementation because of the integrations to other systems that we included in our implementation."
"If you're going for the full suite, it can be fairly pricey."
"While I am unsure of the licensing cost itself, the total cost of implementation and licensing for a company with over 5000 employees would be around 6,00,000. So, there are additional costs beyond licensing."
"The pricing depends on the number of licenses we buy."
"The platform is not affordable but also not the most expensive."
