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.

Great features, but security can be frustrating
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Dayforce from other similar products?
I like that it's easy to clock in and out and to look at my statements all in one place.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I like that I can still log into my account even though I haven't worked in that position for a while. It's helpful when I need paystubs from the past.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Having to reset my password so frequently can be frustrating. I know it's for security purposes, but sometimes it would make me late clocking in because I had to update my password before clocking in.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Give your employees a heads up that they should try to clock in a few minutes early if their password is expiring so they aren't late.
Pros
- Saves Time
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
- Effective Service
Cons

Excellent HRIS!
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Dayforce from other similar products?
I haven't used many other products, but this works perfectly for us. When we made the switch the Dayforce from a previous HRIS, we were looking for something that could be an all-in-one system for all of our HR, payroll, and benefit needs, and it has worked wonderfully for us.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The ease of use. It is very easy to use, and the ability to run so many different reports and have those reports completed so quickly is huge for us.
What do you dislike most about this product?
I am not a fan of their recruiting module. I know they have made several updates recently, but it does not impress me.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I would highly recommend using this product! It is a wonderful HRIS that is all-in-one.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
