How to read the Emotional Footprint
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?
We have audit reports that we use in Ceridian Dayforce that are already built into the system, which I run on every payroll. They point out problems that can be corrected before the end of the week. And I still manage to have payroll efficiency because of its ability to run payroll and tax records at any time.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Ceridian reduced my payroll processing time by 40%, allowing me more time to audit my work. Because it is a user-friendly system with constant system updates and an excellent interface, the workflows reduce the number of face-to-face interactions and allow employees easy access to the information in this software.
What do you dislike most about this product?
It should have an automatic update mode every time an update is available and not be manual. Also for security protection they require several verification methods, but it is annoying to have to constantly enter a security code that is sent to you by text message.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
For us it is much more feasible to use Ceridian Dayforce software that quickly accommodates more data entered into the system and perform multiple functions. It is ideal for a company in its initial growth phase, Dayforce suits the needs of consolidating its complicated organizational structures and unique salary schemes that may have difficulties.
Pros
- Continually Improving Product
- Trustworthy
- Unique Features
- Efficient Service

What differentiates Dayforce from other similar products?
One integrated plaform for the HR record
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Having all (most) of our information in one place, being able to report various different metrics regarding employees. Workflows have streamlined our processes immensely! No more email stuck in someone's inbox. You have clear line of site to what's happening, how long processes take!
What do you dislike most about this product?
Reporting can be tricky to find the correct metric / value / field
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Don't do it all at once - start small and and implement on module at a time, Ensure you have strong technical expertise. Really understand your business requirements and don't get stuck in "how we do it today". The most difficult thing about implementing a system from manual process is to not get caught up in the "how" but the why!
