An in-house team implemented it.

I'm not sure about ROI.

They need to be able to duplicate current benefits for each year. I would like to see better customer service and training.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable element is the benefits feature.

How has it helped my organization?

The improvement to our organization is less paper.

What needs improvement?

They need to be able to duplicate current benefits for each year!!!

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using this solution for two years.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

There was poor implementation support form Ultimate.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We have stability issues on occasion.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I did not encounter any issues with scalability.

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer Service:

Customer service is awful.

Technical Support:

Technical support is awful. I had to purchase consulting services for the most basic support.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We did not have a previous solution.

How was the initial setup?

I was not there for the setup. However, according to legend, a payroll administrator was accountable for the implementation. I am still digging out.

What about the implementation team?

We implemented the solution in-house, with no expertise.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Keep a budget for consulting and training because of the poor quality of support from Ultimate.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We did not evaluate other options.

What other advice do I have?

Fix your customer support. Offer other training options. A twelve-year old might like YouTube videos, but it is not effective for everyone.

It is valuable to have the employee information starting with them applying for a position prior to hire.

What is most valuable?

It is valuable to have the employee information starting with them applying for a position prior to hire. It is easy to set up a new hire since all the info is there. It is also great that employees can edit their information and their performance reviews are all in one system.

How has it helped my organization?

We haven't had performance integrated with our last software company. So, this feature has improved the performance management process.

What needs improvement?

I think customer support needs improved. Some of my cases are not touched for several days.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used it for three years.

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer Service:

Customer service is fair.

There have been times that I created a case, a few days go by and I hear nothing. So, I add a note to the case asking if anyone was working on my issue. Then a few more days go by and I still do not hear anything (my case is still logged as new case). I add another comment. Still nothing. Then I follow up again with another note. There have been times that it took almost 2 weeks before someone opened my case to look at it.

Technical Support:

Technical support is good.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We previously used a different solution. We switched because upper management wanted a different system.

How was the initial setup?

Initial setup was very complex.

What about the implementation team?

A vendor team implemented it.

As an HR professional working smarter not harder is important to data management. UltiPro Recruitment and Onboarding eliminate having to manually enter data into an additional system and eliminate administrative error.
