Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.
The floor is 13 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“UKG Pro WFM is positioned as best with real-time payroll insights and enterprise HR plus WFM.” Muse Glimmer 30B · Workforce management sui · comparative prompt · first choice
“Legion, UKG Dimensions, Dayforce, and Deputy are the top recommendations” Mistral Small · Workforce scheduling · direct prompt · first choice
“Widely considered the gold standard for pure WFM in the mid-market.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Workforce management sui · direct prompt · first choice
“Best enterprise all-in-one: UKG Pro WFM or Workday WFM” Perplexity Sonar · Workforce management sui · comparative prompt · first choice
And against it
Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.
“A ransomware attack discovered Dec. 11 [2021] hit Kronos Private Cloud and the company said the outage could last several weeks.” Muse Glimmer 30B · Time and attendance · negative prompt · hard negative
“scrutinize it if you're a small, straightforward operation... G2 reviewers have described UKG implementation as complex; that's a diligence flag” GPT-6 Luna · Workforce management sui · negative prompt · soft negative
“its aging architecture and user experience are increasingly out of step with modern, cloud-based alternatives” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Time and attendance · negative prompt · soft negative
“If you use or consider Kronos/UKG, scrutinize their business continuity and offline backup protocols.” Kimi K2 · Time and attendance · negative prompt · soft negative

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page ukg.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. Of its titles that name a category, most name payroll software (13); 26 name its categories the models place it in. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person. Read September 29, 2026.
