Pros
It has very reliable insights about workers which makes it easy to offer excellent work conditions which benefits both the company and the employee.
Workday is a fantastic tool as an employee to see all HR-related needs in one place. The search function is great, it has a lot of features, and the navigation is very easy to use.
My overall experience is a good one and I am glad there are such softwares that can be used for our professional needs.
The biggest advantage of using Workday Benefits is how easy the website is to navigate. There is a mobile app that is very user friendly and then there is the desktop version as well.
Cons
Money pit - a software company that charges you for regular updates to their software.
Their expensive user training courses are absolutely appalling for adult learners - 4 days in a classroom flicking through a 500 page bound workbook, anyone.
Some times you may not able to perform any action and you would probably do some wrong action due to unaware of things in it.
I found it difficult to edit my hours when sometimes I would accidentally input the wrong times into the wrong date.

"Increase HR and payroll compliance and daily efficiency"
Overall: Post-sandbox testing, Workday can update and release software. This sandbox environment allows me to try things out, observe what happens, and then fine-tune my procedures. Many issues are resolved because to Workday's ability to notify workers of pending tasks and make information about those tasks readily available to them.
Pros: If you're familiar with the system and its customizations, you should be able to accomplish just about anything using Workday. I really like how workday can be used to both investigate past company procedures and improve current ones. After years of using ADP, I have concluded that Workday is the superior HR software.
Cons: In my opinion, the time it takes to find and interview potential candidates is too long. While Workday's learning resources are excellent, I do wish they provided more configuration-specific instruction.
"WORKDAY REVIEW"
Overall: CAN VIEW MY HOURS, PAYCHECKS... CAN VIEW MY PERSONNAL INFORMATION.IT KEEPS A RECORD OF YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS, CERTICIFATIONS AND REIMBURSEMENTS.
Pros: VERY EASY TO USE. USE FOR MULTIPLE THINGS
Cons: NOTHING REALLY. IT CAN BE USED FOR ANYTHING
"I’d recommend Workday"
Overall: Overall it’s a fantastic tool for organizations, if they know how to configure it correctly. Each country is different and the system allows you to customize processes based on locations.
Pros: Having all your HR related tasks in one system (time tracking, vacation tracing, performance, learning, employee files, payroll, etc) make it a one stop system for companies.
Cons: The security access groups can make it challenging to understand where actions may be stuck. The rules make it challenging to make changes.
"Seamless experience for the employee"
Overall: It seems like a tool that allows a lot of integrations which allows for efficiencies and gives the feeling of just one comprehensive tool for everything HR. And one can use it on the go through the app
Pros: I have only recently started using Workday, but it seems like a good tool that allows many integrations and therefore the feeling for the end user is that it is a comprehensive tool. Beyond the standard HR information one might need (salary, time off, etc.), my skills profile (from the recruitment stage) is integrated with the skill-building systems (courses, etc.) and the mentoring platform of the company. Another couple of feature I found useful (especially as a new starter) were the admin assistance chat, also integrated within the platform and the org chart. Logging in is made easy and they offer an app.
Cons: Nothing major negative to report at this stage.
"Easy to use solution with infinite possibilities for payrolls."
Overall: Accurate and timely payrolls with unique and futuristic dashboard for the task.
Pros: Easiest payroll ever used. Workday HCM is competitively priced which makes it perfect. Already working on my next projects with this software.
Cons: Moderately ranked software with every features required for a successful payroll journey.
