The Net Emotional Footprint measures high-level user sentiment towards particular product offerings. It aggregates emotional response ratings for various dimensions of the vendor-client relationship and product effectiveness, creating a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and product.
While purchasing decisions shouldn't be based on emotion, it's valuable to know what kind of emotional response the vendor you're considering elicits from their users.

What differentiates Dayforce from other similar products?
This system has more features than our previous vendor but implementation was long and nightmarish. Poor customer service after you go live, sales way over-promised, they charge extra for everything. Constantly having to open support tickets to address ongoing problems, quarterly 941s have had errors every single quarter, timekeeping system goes haywire occasionally and is unreliable.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Recruiting system
What do you dislike most about this product?
terrible customer service, no dedicated account manager, very complicated and is not user friendly at all
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Plan to budget for a lot of extras. they charge for the simplest changes or support.
Pros
- Unique Features
- Respectful
- Security Protects
Cons
- Less Efficient Service
- Less Effective Service
- Less Caring
