The ability to get data in and out of it is seamless and easy.

What is most valuable?

The ability to get data in and out of Ulti is seamless and easy. This feature has helped us to integrate with legacy systems as well with systems not supported by HRIS.

How has it helped my organization?

We have been able to get finance data into our lawson system without us having to us the Lawson HR/Payroll product. We have also been able to run our physician contracts through BI and Ulti Documents. It has been a great time saver that keeps us from having to track down paper and to have to file them.

What needs improvement?

Documents upload and the way it is used for life events, it is too many steps to process. The documents go one place and the life event approval is in another place. Same as other situations that require documents.

For how long have I used the solution?

Since 1996!

816,406 professionals have used our research since 2012.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

Not at all. We have moved from DOS to Windows as well as adding other companies on to the system as we have grown. We actually did a conversion from a mainframe system during 9-11 and we managed to get it all done remotely.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Not at all.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Not at all, we continue to add new companies all the time!

How are customer service and support?

Customer Service:

I have watched customer service grow over the years, as they have implemented the customer portal and the direct access to support.

Technical Support:

Good, have been very responsive when needed, which is not to often.

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

Paper system to Dos ult, the other half of the company was on a mainframe system. We merged companies and did an RFI and determined that Ulti was the best solution for us.

How was the initial setup?

lol..complex back in the DOS days, but easier as we went to Windows, asp, .net and now SaaS.

What about the implementation team?

We used Ulti and they were awesome.

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

Makes sure you have the employee count correct, we use our database to store employees that we do not pay, so they are not included in our count.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We have evaluated HCM several times, first in 2000, then in 2007 then as recently as 2016. We have continued to show that Ulti has been the best choice for our organization.

What other advice do I have?

This product continues to grow and improve, which you don't see that happen often with HCM companies. They also listen to their customers.

The Talent Management and Business Intelligence features are valuable.

What is most valuable?

Talent Management and Business Intelligence are the most valuable features.

How has it helped my organization?

We have gone to a paperless orientation.

What needs improvement?

One area with room for improvement is having communication on all the different aspects UltiPro has to offer and how it will improve our organization. A big problem has been "you don't know what you don't know" and we find out really useful information by accident and once we've ran into a problem.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used it for five months.

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer Service:

Customer service is hit or miss. We keep being told that Ulti wants to provide top-notch customer service, but it's not being delivered when you have to wait days, weeks, or even months to get issues worked on/resolved.

Technical Support:

Depends on what type of technical support we need and what subject area it is in. Sometimes, it takes a while to get the support we need and have a frustration period having to wait.

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

We previously used a different solution. We switched because it was not capable of doing the things we needed for our organization.

How was the initial setup?

Initial setup was complex. Our implementation manager did not take the time to really learn the ins and outs of our organization, and therefore did not help us do the best setup we could have had. We also received a lot of generic emails that we found out later did not apply to us, and therefore we were frustrated trying to do work that didn't need to be done. We have found that a lot of setup has needed to be corrected when putting in cases for problems that have been arising.

What about the implementation team?

An in-house team implemented it.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before choosing, we vetted many systems.

The tutorials are valuable. Our W-2s were done incorrectly for three of our states.

What is most valuable?

  • Tutorials

How has it helped my organization?

It has helped with keeping track of employees time sheets, wage garnishments, and 401(k) deferrals.

What needs improvement?

  • Tax services with W-2s and 1095Cs

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used it since 2015. I use Payroll Gateway.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

We did encounter deployment issues. This was out first year using the printing services, and our W-2s were done incorrectly for three of our states. When the W-2Cs were redone, instead of sending to them to us printed out, they contacted us a day before payroll was to be run; stated 2851 copies to be printed by us and sorted and passed out ourselves; and never once offered to refund our money we paid for the services they proved they screwed up on.

The second year we have paid for the 1095Cs and we get errors every time for name discrepancies, but do not seem to get it with our W-2. Why is it not caught before the 1095Cs are filed? It is the only thing I'm unhappy about.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We did encounter stability issues. We got a new acct manager and not happy with him.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We did encounter scalability issues.

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer Service:

Customer service is 5/10.

Technical Support:

Technical support is 8/10.

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

We did not previously use a different solution.

How was the initial setup?

Initial setup was complex.

What about the implementation team?

Before Ultipro, we previously used ADP and they never had this kind of issues with our W-2; we did them in-house.

The core features enabling employee self-serve functions and automation of workflows have been helpful in our organization's drive to become paperless.

What is most valuable?

The core features enabling employee self-serve functions and automation of workflows have been extremely helpful in our organization's drive to become paperless. The reporting function is better than any other HRIS system I've seen or worked with

How has it helped my organization?

The reporting functionality specifically has provided our organization with real-time, customized data, allowing us to make data-driven decisions and build programs based on actual data.

What needs improvement?

Improvements in processes and being able to track our turnover statistics to assess the effectiveness of retention efforts and programs.

For how long have I used the solution?

1.5 years

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

We had a few bumps in the road, which is to be expected with any large-scale implementation. From the employee perspective, it was largely seamless.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

No.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

No.

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer Service:

7 - during implementation I believe our consultants were over-worked, so while they were extremely knowledgeable, they were not always accessible. Post-implementation, customer service has been great.

Technical Support:

Great if you know the right questions to ask.

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

We did not have a system prior to the Ultipro implementation.

How was the initial setup?

It was complex and would have been nice to have more guidance. We didn't always know the right questions to ask, so we didn't always get the right information, but overall was pretty good.

What about the implementation team?

In-house team.

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

It is expensive, but provides a lot of functionality and can meet most of our needs.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Yes, but it was prior to my joining the organization, so I'm not aware of the details.

How has it helped my organization?

There are numerous examples of how it has improved the way my organization functions, but the primary impacts have been: moving from paper timesheets to electronic; allowing employees the ability to view pay statements online; and this year, we moved to ACA compliance monitoring offered by UltiPro and it was a streamlined and organized process.

I have used it for nearly 10 years with different organizations.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

We did not encounter any major deployment issues, but we also utilized a consultant for the deployment.
