The customer service is top-notch. Every time you log out, Ceridian asks how your service was. If you raise any issue, they give you a call. This is the level of customer service my company offers. I expect it of others, but rarely find it. > > **Cons**: Downloading a journal file to Quickbooks should be included with all levels of service. > > It's easy to pay each period and to handle year-end. ----- ### "Best on the Block" — 5.0/5 > **Geeta** | *14 January 2025* | Civic & Social Organization | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Super easy to navigate and does 90% of the payroll leg work for you. > > **Cons**: Took forever to get digital paystub access - should be free/built into the base cost of the program > > I love dayforce, for T4s, EHT, bi-weekly payroll processing, such an easy system to use and so many tutorials and pages dedicated to step-by-step processes ----- ### "Easy to use product, but very limited analytics, and support is hit-and-miss." — 3.0/5 > **CORRINE** | *18 February 2021* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: I was provided almost no training by my employer on how to use the software, but I adapted easily because the system is fairly intuitive. > > **Cons**: Reporting is VERY LIMITED. We run payroll bi-weekly, and need the ability to report on specific date ranges that do not necessarily align with our pay cycles. Unable to make note of "effective date" for things such as pay increases. Customer support is very hit-and-miss. > > This was a good system when our company was smaller and less reporting was needed. Our growth has fuelled the need for more robust reporting, which this system cannot accommodate as time entry by day is not supported. Customer support has been very frustrating at times; I have had support staff tell me that I need to be referred to the Projects Team and will be incurring extra charges for, for things that other support staff can do on demand at no extra cost. I have also had some support staff recommend "fixes" for payroll issues that did not take into consideration the impact that their solution would have on the Record of Employment. I don't have my PCP designation, but I am very mindful of what I'm doing and was able to understand the ripple effect of some of the support advice I was given and therefore request a different solution from the Ceridian support staff. I think this may be a problem for an inexperienced payroll administrator, as they might not fully understand some of the advice being given and question how it may impact other components of the payroll function. ----- ### "Dayforce PowerPay - Excellent" — 5.0/5 > **Crystal** | *19 April 2025* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Professional, and efficient for book-keeping purposes in a larger company. > > **Cons**: It integrates with the best with Dayforce Scheduling/timeclock. Dayforce Scheduling does not have my recommendation. > > Dayforce powerpay is professional, and for a larger company, a great payroll option. ----- ### "Ceridian \*Thank goodness your Back\!\*" — 5.0/5 > **Robin** | *18 February 2021* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We had been with Ceridian for years and decided to change to ADP- What a mistake. Now we're back with Ceridian and Thank goodness\! This software is simple and easy every step of the way. Firstly, the set-up of the software is effortless, your team lead walks you through the process and any issues they get it fixed in a very timely manner. Next, the on boarding simple\! A one page form with all the necessary info to fill out. Next the rapid entry form for easy entry of commissions, bonuses, hours, stat hours- is a time saver. Plus everything is easy linked to the time sheets and the employee profiles\! I seriously cannot complain amount this product. I cannot forget to mention the after service and support- A1. Anytime you call with an issue or problem, there is a payroll specialist that knows what to do to fix it\! No waiting, no emails back and forth, just 1 call and everything is resolved. In the event that you do need to have a case created- 24 to 48 hours later everything is fixed and resolved. > > **Cons**: I did not like the People tab option- I found it redundant and useless- I had it removed because it's just some much quicker in the regular (non-people) version. But besides that I'm super happy with the product. > > Overall experience, is amazing. Like I mentioned my boss decided to try ADP and the comparison is absolutely night and day. From the implementation to the after service. After 6 months I couldn't deal with all the issues with ADP so we decided to go back to Ceridian because of the simplicity, the peace of mind and the support we had in the past. ----- Page: 1 / 12\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/389199/dayforce-powerpay?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/389199/dayforce-powerpay) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
