Dayforce

What differentiates Dayforce from other similar products?

At our agency, the way we use Dayforce touches almost every part of the employee experience. Scheduling interviews, managing PTO requests, tracking benefits enrollment, updating performance reviews — it's all centralized. We even set up onboarding workflows that automatically trigger once an offer is signed, meaning new hires get their paperwork, policies, and intros served to them without us manually pushing every step. It’s

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

One thing that makes Dayforce feel like a breath of fresh air is the real-time data updates. I don’t have to wait for payroll to process or reports to refresh overnight. When someone updates their bank info at 9 a.m., it’s reflected by 9:01. This real-time nature has been a lifesaver for HR audits, compliance reporting, and even last-minute leadership asks when they need data yesterday.

What do you dislike most about this product?

If I’m being picky, navigating Dayforce’s reporting dashboard can get a little... maze-like.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Dayforce hasn’t just been a nice-to-have; it’s helped us scale up without breaking a sweat. We’ve onboarded over 40 new hires in under six months, and it’s handled the influx like a champ. Having consistent, automated workflows has helped us maintain the personal, boutique-feel culture we’re known for, even as we grow.

What differentiates Dayforce from other similar products?

What stands out most for me is how well Dayforce handles scheduling. With multiple shifts and last-minute changes, having a tool that adjusts on the fly is a lifesaver. During a recent production surge, we were able to quickly realign teams, manage overtime, and stay compliant with labor laws—all without endless spreadsheets or late-night phone calls. The self-service portal has also been a hit with our team; employees can check their schedules, swap shifts, or request time off with ease, which keeps everyone on the same page.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The payroll module is a real highlight. Since everything from hours worked to overtime is synced in real time, payroll errors have dropped significantly. The single application approach—where scheduling, time tracking, and payroll live in the same system—means there’s no room for discrepancies or redundant data entry. And let’s be honest, payroll disputes can be a nightmare, but with Dayforce, those conversations have almost disappeared.

What do you dislike most about this product?

One area I think could use a little polish is the reporting interface

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Dayforce has helped us foster a more engaged and efficient workforce. It’s streamlined processes that used to be a headache, like tracking certifications for machine operators or conducting performance reviews. Compliance audits have also become far less stressful because we know all the data we need is accurate and accessible in one place.
