Dayforce Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

WFM is a solution comprising software, services and (often) hardware that helps organizations manage the operational deployment of their workers. In most cases, WFM is deployed for hourly paid/blue-collar employees. However, the deployment of WFM for both hourly and salaried workers is justifiable in several cases, including when the organization:
Seeks to use the same absence management and/or access control system for both salaried and hourly workers; Captures salaried workers’ overtime and uses that data to calculate gross pay; Schedules salaried workers to work dynamic shifts, rather than set “office” hours; Allocates and tracks salaried workers’ time to projects or tasks and a WFM system is already in use

Overall, it is easy to navigate and use. However, their reporting can be tricky sometimes, their customer service is lacking and there is a slow turnaround time with projects.

I found the product has improved & has become more user-friendly with AI upgrades. I used Dayforce before so I'm able to compare the product evolution.
