UKG has always presented reporting issues for me, as I have not taken the time to learn the programming necessary to utilize Business Intelligence. Employee Cycle solves that issue!!!! It has never been this easy to create the robust reporting my firm requires, until now. Though I have only used this product for 2 months, it is already saving me 8 hours per month on reporting while presenting many other reporting options that are not available in Business Intelligence. This is a must have product for any large organization using UltiPro for their payroll solution.

“Creating complex dashboards felt like I needed a degree in computer programming. Building point-in-time reports was especially difficult—even after completing all the UKG training classes, I still felt unsure of what I was doing. Simple reports were manageable, but we wanted dynamic dashboards with key metrics for each of our locations and departments that updated daily. Employee Cycle made that possible. Within just 10 minutes, I was able to create a template dashboard and replicate it across all our locations. Our managers now have real-time visibility into their data, and our regional leaders can easily spot trends across stores and departments.”

Employee Cycle has been incredibly useful for identifying and communicating problem areas—especially with high-turnover locations. The visual metrics make it easy to show exactly how one branch compares to others across the company, region, and even year over year. It gives us clear, digestible data that drives accountability and action.

Employee Cycle has been a game-changer in helping me quickly deliver clear, relevant HR data without the manual work of Excel or Power BI. The automatic data refresh from our HRIS saves me hours and ensures leadership always has up-to-date insights for strategic planning. I’ve built custom dashboards tailored to different departments, making it easy to “tell a story” with the data. Implementation was seamless, and their support team has been responsive, knowledgeable, and incredibly easy to work with.

Employee Cycle makes it easy to drill into data and understand who’s behind the numbers—something we couldn’t do with traditional BI tools. The simplicity of building dashboards and reports has made life so much easier for our team, especially since we’re not BI experts.

As someone with a BI background, I used to avoid Employee Cycle reports because the data just wasn’t usable without the employee number. That all changed with the latest update—it’s now easy to work with, and I’m finally excited to use the reporting features. This improvement made a huge difference.

Employee Cycle has been a game changer for our HR team. We used to struggle to pull data and relied heavily on others just to get the basics. Now, it’s quick, easy, and gives us the insights we need to analyze and take action. I feel like I could stay in the platform all day—it’s that useful and intuitive.

I’m still loving Employee Cycle—it makes my life so much easier. Before a recent board meeting, I realized last minute that I needed some metrics. Within five minutes, I had everything I needed, and it gave me the confidence to speak clearly and effectively. It just felt really good to be that prepared.

Employee Cycle is better than Bamboo for a lot of reasons—especially when it comes to reporting accuracy. Unlike Bamboo, it doesn’t pull in incomplete or confusing data, which makes our reports clearer and more reliable. It’s just a smarter, more intuitive tool.

Employee Cycle is incredibly easy to use and delivers powerful results right out of the box. It solves a major challenge by giving non-technical HR and business leaders access to the data they need without relying on IT. The dashboards are intuitive, and I love being able to filter by any field and compare trends over time with custom date ranges. Implementation was smooth, and the customer support has been outstanding.[summarized from G2]

Employee Cycle has completely transformed how I work. I used to waste time recreating reports in Cognos BI, but now I can easily build HR dashboards, track KPIs, and export visuals for leadership in just minutes. The platform is intuitive, powerful, and honestly—I'm floored by how easy it is to navigate. It's exactly what I’ve been looking for the past two years.
