Director at Edge HR
Has all-inclusive pricing and good talent acquisition and onboarding components, and is an excellent product for mid-sized to large organizations
They could probably add surveying, as in engagement surveys, to their product. That would be something that would be valued by their customers. For instance, Culture Amp is a product that does a lot of the engagement stuff. They're diversifying into other aspects of talent management. It is not yet at the same scale as PageUp People, but it is an excellent product as well.
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

"PageUp has a different model from other organizations; as part of their pricing structure, they tend to work with you very closely and not charge you for the setup, so there is one price all inclusive of setup, and for that reason, they become an attractive provider to work with."
"If you are looking for a product with great support, recruitment functionality, ease-of-use, and reliability, this is a great product."
"It is a reliable, simple to use, end-to-end system for employee lifecycle management."
"This product is user-friendly and great for reporting purposes."
"Most of features in PageUp are very useful."
"It provides a centralised repository of information for various HR functions."
"I loved that function, as it made it SO much easier to work out the logistics of those days, and allowing candidates to book their own time slot was a lifesaver as it would have been a nightmare trying to do it for them."
"The talent acquisition and the onboarding components of the system are most valuable."
"UKG allows us to customize our home screen so that we can easily monitor important items on a daily basis."
"UltiPro has allowed me to provide management with meaningful and informative reporting."
"Employees can go and look, and change their information."
"We have leveraged the Business Intelligence module highly and find it the best reporting solution available."
"We currently use onboarding, UTA and Core, and the most valuable feature is the promised improvement in customer service with rapid response."
"We previously used ADP, and we switched because it is better than their system."
"Reporting"
"Information available to employees and ease of processing payroll."
 

Cons

"It is probably not as scalable as SAP SuccessFactors or other talent management systems that are available in the global marketplace."
"Initially, we experienced issues with the stability of the learning management module as we migrated 50,000+ existing training records from our old system."
"The ability to pull reports was limited for us."
"Reporting could be improved. Some changes were made to functionality a year or two ago, and whilst there have certainly been some improvements in some areas (in terms of the dashboard view, for example), we have experienced some difficulty in trying to automate some fairly standard reports to be sent out to our hiring areas regarding current recruitment in their respective areas."
"Maybe there is a need to improve the interface so that we will be able to easily search for modules in regards to the system fix."
"In our experience, PageUp has not been as flexible as we would like or expect as a vendor."
"The automated removal of historical data would be great if the user could remove it on an ad-hoc basis when required."
"In the Boolean search functions, I would like to be able to search CVs in regards to the skills using the AND/OR functions as well as keywords."
"The tool needs improvement on the configuration side."
"Customer service is very good when you get their attention."
"Ultimate is growing fast and this has occasionally impacted response time with the customer support team."
"Inactivates DD when employees leave for a short period."
"Customer Support model could use improvement."
"Initial setup was too complex; an outside vendor set up the core."
"Implementation was a long bumpy process. UltiPro is very customizable which is great once you are implemented, but it makes it difficult to implement out of the box because a lot of work goes into making decisions about how the system will be set up."
"Certainly, the time and attendance and the payroll integration need a lot of work. They are disjointed pieces, and they don't work smoothly together."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PageUp has a different model from other organizations. As part of their pricing structure, they tend to work with you very closely and not charge you for the setup. So, there is one price all inclusive of setup, and for that reason, they become an attractive provider to work with. Here in Australia, the education sector has gravitated very heavily towards PageUp."
"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."
"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."
"If you're going for the full suite, it can be fairly pricey."
"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."
"The pricing depends on the number of licenses we buy."
"The platform is not affordable but also not the most expensive."
