I have worked with UKG at several companies as the system administrator. The customer service is great and they are very responsive in support ticket resolution. I attended their ASPIRE conference for the first time last year and it was an exceptional way to learn more. I would like to see some of their enhancements roll out faster to truly deliver the best end user/developer experience and better meet the needs of HR mangement.

Subpar product features and support when compared to other vendors

Implementation of ECM, EFM and HRSD was not only a quick process, but in the end, has saved us a considerable amount of money while improving and automating processes.  Processes like employee filing, routing of HR Change tickets and ultimately reducing our headcount needs in that functional area.  We also just implemented WFM with success.  Although this was not part of my team, (provided only as reference), it has been a huge success and has resulted in cost savings and efficiencies as well.
