What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

We have not encountered any deployment issues.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We have not encountered any stability issues.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have not encountered any scalability issues.

How are customer service and support?

Customer Service:

It seems our NSR changes quite frequently (because of good opportunities for the NSR). However, I've spoken to so many new people lately (not my NSR) that customer service is sometimes frustrating.

Technical Support:

Level 2 support is not frequently needed; however, most of them are good at what they do.

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

We have been using Ultipro since Y2K.

What about the implementation team?

A vendor team implemented it.

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

Salesmen from Ultipro seem to be intent on the sale... then they disappear!

The system administration and ESS features are valuable.

What is most valuable?

  • System administration
  • BI reporting
  • Onboarding
  • ESS

How has it helped my organization?

At my current organization, we are just starting our implementation project. At my past companies, UltiPro has improved service delivery to employees, streamlined processes, improved efficiencies, and given time back to employees.

What needs improvement?

Global employee management features are limited. I would love to see the ability to add tables to store increments for supplemental life when using the age-graded rates setup.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used it for eight years.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

Implementation in 2009-2010 was a bit bumpy due to changes with the UltiPro project team.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

System stability is generally good and issues are typically addressed quickly.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have not encountered any scalability issues up to this point.

How is customer service and technical support?

Customer Service:

Customer service is generally very good. Response times can be slower during peak times (i.e., open enrollment, year-end, etc.).

Technical Support:

Technical support is very good.

What about the implementation team?

An in-house team implemented it.

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.

What needs improvement?

I wish UltiPro had the functionality as an administrator to view a user's screen or what they are viewing when trying to help troubleshoot if the user is not onsite.

I have been using it myself for two years; our company, 10 years.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Customer service is 8/10.

Technical Support:

Technical support is 7/10.

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

The price for the product is high but it has a lot of functionality.

We've been able to cut down on payroll processing errors, analyze our benefits for accuracy, and eliminate foreseeable issues with effective reporting.

What is most valuable?

Business Intelligence

BackOffice & Web Access

Tech Support

How has it helped my organization?

With their assistance, we've been able to cut down on payroll processing errors, analyze our benefits for accuracy, and eliminate foreseeable issues with effective reporting.

What needs improvement?

Hard to mention one, but perhaps only the amount of time it takes to reach customer support, but once you're on the phone with someone, they seem to know exactly how to fix things given the right info.

For how long have I used the solution?

Myself only one year, but my organization has been on the platform for four years.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

None that I am aware of. Our account manager was able to listen to our needs and determine how much work needed to go in so that we would prepare.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Seldom, if any.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

None.

How is customer service and technical support?

Customer Service:

10 out of 10!

Technical Support:

10 out of 10!

How was the initial setup?

It was straightforward, but we took a while to ensure that the platform would serve our organization the right way.

What about the implementation team?

In-house.

Payroll processing/tax filing.

12 years.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

I was not employed at that time.

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer Service:

8/10, our company has had issues with response time, but being in payroll my response time has been fairly quick and timely.

Technical Support:

9/10, there are times we are able to stump the tech.

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

We are currently using Kronos Workforce Ready Time Labor Management. We switched from UTM because the reporting feature was HORRIBLE and UTM could not really address our needs and issues.
