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.

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.
