It stands out as a comprehensive, all-in-one platform that combines payroll, HR, benefits, and workforce management, which helps streamline operations and reduce manual work. The real-time data and automation features are especially useful for improving efficiency and accuracy. However, the system can feel complex and requires significant time to learn and implement effectively. Reporting and navigation are not always intuitive, which can slow down users. Despite these challenges, it remains a powerful solution for organizations that need a scalable and integrated HR system. > > **Cons**: We have not had any issues using Dayforce. It just works all the time without any issues. Works Perfect > > Overall, Day Force has been perfect. We love it and will continue to use it moving forward. It's just hassle free ----- ### "All-in-one place for our company" — 4.0/5 > **Elizabeth** | *6 August 2025* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Together our company and Dayforce's updates has allowed us to expand and keep everything in on place, from payroll to learning platforms and performance reviews > > **Cons**: The errors, I will get unexplained errors while loading scheduling or timeclock pages. Most times this is a struggle, because we are all busy and only have so much time to do something. > > User friendly and an all-in-one platform. We are a company across many states, and this platform makes it easy for our corporate office to follow all state requirements for learning platforms ----- ### "Great Software For Small, Growing Companies" — 3.0/5 > **Chris** | *7 March 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was a sufficient software to set up and establish within company initially however it didn’t offer the support we needed as we grew. Great beginner, small company software > > **Cons**: It was a very basic software for payroll and attendance. As we grew and became more compliant with certifications and industry standards, it wasn’t able to keep up. We needed a software that provided full automation through recruiting, training, performance reviews, goal setting and more > > We don’t use Dayforce anymore and have since upgraded to a software that provides more support and needs that aligns with our company’s future ----- ### "Very Poor User Experience and Frustrating Glitches" — 1.0/5 > **Jesse** | *10 September 2025* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Simple interface. Clear prev/next/cancel actions. Overall interface is clean and well organized. That is where the PROS end. > > **Cons**: Using the Dayforce HCM is highly unintuitive. It is, without a doubt, the worst HCM I have used, ever. 1) It does not import and ATS optimized resume correctly 2) It places work experience content in incorrect fields (company in role fields, etc.) 3) It adds spaces to Role Titles and arbitrarily adds/removes formatting from descriptions. 4) The worst User Experience aspect is the form error handling. I input a role that the resume import omitted. Data was accurate and entered correctly but the form would not submit. A single 'There's an error on your form' toast notification displayed. No other feedback. No field highlighted as the error. Nothing. Checked the data, all accurate, hit submit.. error. over and over. Having to remove a role from your experience just to get the form to submit is highly counterproductive. 5) On a laptop, scrolling to the bottom to read the disclosures or makes selections is a fun process because it will scroll you back to the top, for no known reason. 6) It also requires input of a country, which I understand, but for EVERY employer. Which is a poor Customer Experience - default to the applicants local or ask to populate the country across other roles, at the very least. There are basic, fundamental User Experience patterns that should be baked into any decent paid application. > > Very, very poor user experience. Hire a skilled UX Engineer and resolve the issues.. you'll have an excellent product after that. ----- ### "Recently switched to Dayforce and it’s easy to use and includes so many options" — 4.0/5 > **Ashley** | *2 January 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It includes options for training requirements, reminders, self service clocking in and out. I loved being able to communicate with management all in one place as well\! > > **Cons**: The download process and install was a bit tedious. Once you go through that it was smooth sailing for the rest. > > Once you get through the install and quick set up the program itself is great\! So many options on this platform really make it an all in one HR space. ----- Page: 1 / 43\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/4592/dayforce-hcm?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/4592/dayforce-hcm) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
