HR manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent HR tool" January 23, 2023 5.0 Great, we don’t want to leave it. Pros I love everything, it’s great and helpful for all HR Cons I think implementation was a bit challenging, but because we never had a system before, so we had to get used to something new. But once we did, we loved it. Review Source MC Marco C. Director of REsearch Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "lots of good features but not intuitive to use" September 13, 2022 3.0 Workday has most, if not, all critical features needed in managing a team but I find it hard to navigate despite manay training sessions and over 2 years experience using it Pros it has all the components to help manage employee performance, promotions, salary, time off..etc and I like the notifications feature which send alerts and reminders to my inbox Cons But it is not intuitive and the look and feel is reminiscent of early computer era. it's hard to navigate and hard to know if you have done everything right. Review Source Michael F. Organizational Change Consultant Information Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great HR Software" July 6, 2021 5.0 I have enjoyed using this software to track basic HR information for myself and my colleagues Pros Workday is easy to navigate and track information across. The User Interface is extremely clean and user-friendly. Cons Entering new data, as a user, is cumbersome. Often it begins a repetitive workflow where information is submitted, saved, resubmitted, and saved again Review Source MA Muhammad A. Account Manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Increasing Employee Productivity" June 11, 2023 5.0 It's Easy To Use, Stabilize Platform, Good Speed, Mobility Integration Access With I-Phone. Pros Goal Setting, Training, Performance Management Review, Carreer Management, Sales Incentive, Mobility Integration Acess With I-Phone. Cons I don't have it. I like all of the features Review Source JL Jennifer L. SAP Configuration Analyst Consumer Goods Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Workday" July 11, 2023 3.0 Pros Workday has a very clean cut look to it which is really nice. It's also nice to have the ability to use it as an app on your phone instead of having to be reliant on a desktop. Cons It does not include any shortcuts to help get where you want to go. Some of the tiles have a couple places you have to go into and it doesn't make it incredibly easy at times. Review Source DW Donita W. University Supervisor E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Time and Payroll System" October 28, 2023 5.0 Pros I enter my time, review and submit it, and I can rest assured that my data is secure. It is straightforward. It allows me to track my hours. Cons Nothing to dislike. I use it with ease and have been pleased with it so far. Review Source BS Brittany S. Scribe Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Workday is not user friendly." March 30, 2019 3.0 Overall, I feel like this program is not worth the money. It's wasted a lot of time for HR and our scheduler to manually enter everything following down time. The lack of ease of use for our employees has led us to switch to a new program. Pros Workday organizes sections by tabs. It's easy to navigate and find what you are looking for with regards to your personal information, benefits, pay, tax forms, etc. Cons The software is not user friendly. While it is easy to navigate between tabs and find things, it is NOT easy to enter information in these tabs. Generally, it requires contacting some form of support in order to change any information. This was a company wide problem, which is why we chose to switch to a new scheduling and business platform. Workday has frequent down times. Scheduled every Friday for about 10 hours. This requires us to manually enter in any information (clock in/clock out) that would normally be easily done in Workday. This becomes a huge hassle when you have several hundred employees. It takes HOURS. There are also frequent random down times throughout the month without warning. Review Source JW John W. Senior Recruiter Defense & Space Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Workday Recruiting will slow down your recruiting and confuse you. Not Intuitive" May 30, 2019 2.0 I've been a recruiter for 14 years and this is the second company that I have worked for that has WD Recruiting. I thought I could give it another chance, you know, maybe it would be better than a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, it is worse! Pros None that I can speak of. I guess it integrates with back office systems, but don't they all. Reporting function is useless. Cons Workday is over-engineered, Not intuitive, obviously designed by people who have not recruited! It is confusing for applicants. Simple things like finding an applicants email address require vast navigation. I'm not sure who the people are who rated this product in this article, maybe an outsourced WD office overseas? But, this product will slow down your recruiting team with screen after screen of clicking and unnecessary work-flow. It has it's own Mailbox and notification box that will confuse you and your team even more. Training for the fortune 500 company I work for was a 200 slide deck presentation. After the training we were all just as confused. Stick with Taleo or any other system. Don't listen to people/experts who are not recruiters who think this is a good tool. Take the advice of someone who actually recruits, has used other systems and avoid this piece of crap. Review Source Adina Mihaela M. Master data specialist Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workday " October 2, 2023 5.0 excellent! Pros I like that I can check all my employee informations and I can learn a lot of new things Cons I like everything! But most i like that i can review my performance over the year Review Source AS Alyssa S. Grievance & Appeals Supervisor Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Option" February 15, 2023 5.0 such a great system for managing time, employees, tracking etc Pros So user friendly and easy to use and understand for both leaders and users Cons nothing really I think it is a fantastic application for companies Switched from [Paycom](https://www.capterra.com/p/130949/Paycom/) corporate choice Review Source LC Lauren C. Communications Coordinator Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "One Stop Shop for Employee Management" March 3, 2023 4.0 Pros WorkDay allows for you to check your paystubs, request vacation, complete training videos, and view your job details with ease. The system is intuitive and clean, it can do as little or as much as you want it to. Cons While Workday is a one stop shop. Sometimes it offers so many services that they can't flush them out properly... For example: requesting vacation is easy, however going forward several weeks and asking the system to calculate your future accrued time... it will not do. Review Source BJ Ben J. Developer Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Difficult to learn without paying for courses but still a solid option" August 3, 2017 4.0 I have only been using Workday for a few months. After taking all of the integration courses and starting to build integrations I am reasonably comfortable with the back end but no front end knowledge which is required to test at least the inbound integrations. Be prepared to spend days researching certain topics before coming up with answers. I recommend hiring a consultant to help in house developers learn the tools and functionality if you decide to go with Workday. Pros \-Basic functionality for end users is intuitive and easy to use. -Lots of options for integration with third parties -Easy to use, custom, report capability with the option to expose reports as services (RaaS). -Fairly easy to learn and use add-in for Eclipse for complicated integrations (Workday Studio). Cons \-Training is expensive and is basically required to do an implementation due to lack of available reference material. Recording the online training for future reference is not permitted -The workday community site is cumbersome (searches are not ranked according to relevancy and it can take many hours to find what you are looking for). Some workday studio components don't seem to be documented at all on the site. -Certain functionality and community information is only provided to "Workday Implementation partners" which makes it nearly impossible to implement in-house without paying to outsource some of the work to a workday partner. -Workday doesn't seem to have been built with performance in mind. Even with server side paging, reports and integrations are very slow. -Lots of "hidden features." This would normally be a bonus but more advanced tasks require the user to know exactly what to search for from the application's search feature. Most of the functionality of workday is hidden in search results and isn't intuitively exposed in the UI.

Pros Hands down the most clean and friendly UI. It's so easy to find what you're looking for because Workday has each category listed on the first screen, and from there is super easy to navigate to the topic you need to know about. I like how it's an all in one place for anything I need information on: time off, compensation, goal setting, and org. structure, to name a few. I have used this software at several jobs before and it's just so easy to pick up on. Cons I personally haven't had any issues for the couple years I've been a user of this software. I'd highly recommend it to a larger company looking for a HCM system. Review Source MS Mahara S. Team Leader E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workday HCM is modern with all integrated all task needed for Human capital management " December 27, 2022 4.0 Workday HCM is modern with all integrated all task needed for Human capital management .It is life a right hand for the recruitment team. Pros It makes our Job posting reaches many individuals. We can easily track candidate and applicant from anywhere.During interview and onboarding time candidate management is very important, using workday HCM it will be organized. Employee database is been saved and updated timely for future use. Cons We can easily upload data from LinkedIn, but from other social medias we face difficult to pull out all the data. We needed to do manually. Review Source PP Paul P. QC Chemist Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Decent System with Occasional Bugs " December 22, 2023 4.0 Decent overall experience with the company. Pros Ability to do multiple functions at once made it a nice system. Cons We would experience errors from time to time especially when requesting things to management. Review Source Nitin G. Junior Dev Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workday HCM Review" June 6, 2021 5.0 Workday HCM provides a phenomenal experience without any glitches in the whole streamlined process, so I am satisfied with the services provided by this amazing software. Pros Workday allows us to team management efficiently by leveraging various operations . Also, it provides a smooth workflow for adding new employees, terminating any existing one, and also viewing the whole organizational structure in a very elegant way. Cons Searching tool in workday HCM needs more improvement, rest overall it's a perfect software for managing the workflow. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director Kandy CPaaS/UC Solutions Marketing Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great way to manage pay slips but lacking some functionality" January 18, 2018 4.0 Pros It does a great job at consolidating payslips and allowing easy access to payroll information from multiple years and paydays. It's web based and the user interface is adaptive; so it works well on mobile devices too, easy to access and can be integrated with the enteprise single sign on (SSO) infrastructure. Cons When a user wants to print a payslip this is automatically generated by a background process and it is not displayed immediately. Instead, the user is told that a notification will be received within their Workday UI when the file is ready for printing/download in PDF. Now the problem is that this file is dynamically generated with the same name, every time. So if you need to download all your payslips from a certain year, you'll find that you have to rename 26 different files to be able to find the right one you need later. Review Source HM Hannah M. Digital Products Coordinator Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Workday makes work easy! " November 3, 2022 4.0 Overall, I really enjoyed the easy use of workday. I loved being able to easily clock in and out on my phone and access all work information from the app in my pocket! Pros I love the mobile version. It is so easy to clock in and out from my phone. It is also super quick and easy to view my schedule, request time off, and to find my pay stubs. Cons At first it was a bit hard to find specific features. Review Source RA Rawia A. Customer Service Representative Banking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Workday review" July 30, 2022 5.0 I describe my experience as a very happy and satisfied user. Pros It is so easy to register in it, and also easy to help you find the right job for you. Cons Honestly, there is nothing I didn't like about this website. Review Source EM Edward M. Associate Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workday review " February 5, 2023 4.0 Pros it offers a comprehensive suite of tools for managing all aspects of human resources, including employee information, benefits, payroll, time and attendance, and more. Additionally, the platform is user-friendly, has a mobile app for easy access, provides robust reporting and analytics, and emphasizes security and data privacy. Overall, Workday helps streamline HR processes and provides valuable insights into the workforce Cons it can be clunky to use at times. The user interface can be overwhelming, with too many options and menu items, which can make navigation and task completion challenging. Additionally, some of the processes within the platform, such as reporting and analytics, can be slow and time-consuming Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Benefits Specialist Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Robust and User-Friendly platform" March 23, 2018 5.0 Pros Overall user-friendly, though a learning curve needed to become familiar with the org-centric and business process-driven design. Also, the option to submit issues and questions (and find answers!) in Workday Community. Cons For the average end-user, there's a definite learning curve as it stands out from many HR software platforms of today. Vendors tend to assume implementation will be similar in Workday to other platforms, but there seems to often be a learning curve for them as well. Review Source AS Alicia S. CSA Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workday" July 7, 2022 5.0 It was mostly simple sometimes had issues Pros I loved how workday has steps that help you through all of the different things to do on workday Cons Sometimes I couldn’t find what I was looking for.

Cons Sometimes it gave me issues when I would try to log in at home to print my W2. Other than that no other complaints. Review Source KT Kalpana T. HR Consultant Human Resources Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workday is a tool which takes a little time to get used to. It can be customized for each customer." December 25, 2022 3.0 Initially it takes time to implement and get used to. Once the system is set up it works very well and lots of functions can be added to handle smooth working of HR activities Pros Software has lots of tools for a complete HR to function which can be customized per client requirements Cons The software hangs sometimes and that makes it difficult to complete the task on hand Review Source Mehadi Hasan M. SW Automation Tester Defense & Space Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Its a great tools for new candidate management and team tranning" May 13, 2022 4.0 Overall its a great tools which requires some additional modification going forward Pros i like the fact that i can keep track of new candidates here and manage them and process the application on the fly to move them to the next round.
