Nick C
IT Security Specialist
4.0

Nick C.: My name is Nick. I am an IT security specialist. I work in higher education and I give Workday Financial Management a four out of five. When looking at different products between Workday and also we are looking at a product called PeopleSoft. And we moved off of PeopleSoft, an older version, but their newer version did not meet all of our needs. We ended up going with Workday because they provided a fully cloud solution that alleviated any problems we had with on-premise things, like servers and workstations. With the nature of things like Workday, the integration for programs that replaced financial management are going to be very involved. So, it was quite a long process for us to integrate Workday into our environment. But it's definitely something that we enjoyed the change. When looking into Workday as a financial solution, definitely going to be, know all of the requirements that your finance team requires and all of the things that will be needed to continue support for this product.

Karen S.: Hi, my name is Karen. I'm a small business owner and accountant. I rate Patriot's four out of five. For more reviews, please click below. The software I was using was QuickBooks online payroll. I switched over to Patriot due to the fact that it was better cost effective for my clients to use Patriot. Patriot is an easier platform to utilize for not just myself as a business owner accountant, but for clients that are new to establishing and wanting to submit payrolls on a quarterly basis, or on a monthly basis. Patriot was very simple. It gives you step-by-step. As a person who is in the profession, or someone who's new to it, gives you a step-by-step. It doesn't let you move forward unless you have provided all the data needed for Patriot to be able to do its proper job in reporting payroll for clients. The advice that I would give to individuals that are new to Patriot is utilize its resources. It is very cheap on a monthly basis. It gives a lot of features in which if you can contact even a salesperson or a client's representative for Patriot, they will show you exactly all the features that it actually has that you can utilize to benefit all the resources it has.
