December 13, 2018 3.0 It's functional, but not overtly so. Seems to take a fair amount of work to get even the simplest of tasks done. Pros The UI is pleasant, and seemingly intuitive. Cons Ours just must be configured poorly, because functions you expect to be mapped under certain categories aren't there and you have to hunt for them. Routing is poor, and site directors don't have access to their indirect reports...all of these things could be administratively corrected perhaps, but perhaps not.

I enjoy the ease of doing my onboarding however it is a hard as an existing employee to accomplish. Pros I like that I can see all my profile information. Cons It is very difficult to update emergency contact info if you have more than one. Some of the features do not show the information on the app that is available on the website.

Senior Technical Level Designer Entertainment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A great tool for employee and human ressource" March 26, 2026 5.0 It’s been great, we’ve been using it for years at my job and it has offered us everything we need for the employees Pros It’s a very powerful tool to track employees timesheet, performance, objectives and progression in the company. Cons The user interface, even if it was improved in the last few years, still needs improvement. I think they should hire UI designer with experience to fix it once for all. Review Source MP Marika P. Team Leader Human Resources Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Utilizzo passato del gestionale lavorando per un cliente - " March 21, 2023 4.0 Nel complesso positiva anche se aggiungerei dei gradi di maggior flessibilità Pros è un gestionale molto strutturato che aiuta nella gestione delle pratiche in quanto ha una sua logica e una volta compresa si può gestire tutto seguendo quella logica. Cons Non è intuitivo ed è molto complesso inizialmente interfacciarsi perchè non è flessibile e questo non consente di gestire le eccezioni Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Data Center Services - IT Team Lead Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great cloud based solution for all our staffing needs" January 11, 2018 4.0 mobility, able to access from anywhere Pros I like that I am able to approve timesheet and timeoff requests from my staff anywhere with an internet connection and even right from my phone! Cons Its not easy to view and get an accurate count of my staff's remaining balance for vacation and personal days. Review Source PW Paul W. Owner Entertainment Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Workday is On Point " May 19, 2024 5.0 Pros Easy to use with no downsides. App navigation is clear. Very user-friendly. Cons I heard that calculating and entering PTO hours had a bit of a catch to it. Review Source Aditya B. Technical support representative Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Payroll management system that helps a lot" February 27, 2023 5.0 Pros I could easy track my time and expenses,Best for ease of use and one click Cons None as of now. I found not a single flaw Review Source VR Verified Reviewer QA Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best product to manage all benefits" November 14, 2018 5.0 At our organization we use workday for benefits, performance and time management. Its one place solution for all, every year we need to enroll in benefits, process is very simple in Workday compare to earlier tools we used. User have ability to get alerts and notification on changes in benefits which makes it advance compare to other tools. Pros Easy to Use Detailed functionality All solutions at one place Easy Goals management and benefits enrollment process. Cons New GUI is not that friendly compare to earlier version.

Having a user friendly software is key so I really enjoy that about workday. Pros Very way to navigate and is very user friendly for all employees. Cons The layout is a little boring and plain. I wish it had a better aesthetic or looked more attractive. Review Source DW Dana W. Representative Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent product " June 13, 2024 5.0 Pros Easy to use and eases productivity. I love how user friendly it is Cons Nothing it is all great! Wouldn’t change a thing Review Source TZ Tina Z. Analyst Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workday hcm review " December 19, 2022 5.0 Overall i have a good experience with . I think it is able to provide me the service that I need Pros I like how the most important features people generally care about such as payroll and direct deposits are so easily available and easy to understand on there Cons I really don’t like the general design of the software page. As a user I think the page is very ugly and all the spaces are not well utilized Review Source Christina P. Employment Counsel Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workday for Self-Service Payroll " October 24, 2019 5.0 Workday payroll encourages employees to take action on their own instead of relying on HR to answer all questions or take all actions related to payroll. Pros I like that Workday was created in such a way that employees can be more autonomous in finding information related to payroll. Additionally, employees can make modifications to their withholdings and other payroll functions without the need to ask members of the HR team, so people are left with more time to do more important things. Cons There is nothing I dislike about Workday, but it is cloud based which means that you have to have internet to access any information on Workday. It would be great if some information was available offline. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Customer Success Manager/Solutions Consultant Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Tool for Managing Time and Pay" May 27, 2020 5.0 I love workday and I think it's a great tool for tracking employees and applicants. It's easy to switch them to employees. Pros I really like Workday. It was great since I could manage my time cards as well as my paystubs. I could easily track PTO and project how much PTO I would have a later date. HR could send me announcements, notifications and assignments to complete as new open items came up. What I really liked was also being able to look up coworkers and see what department they worked in, what team they were on and who their supervisors were. There was a tree of our entire organization mapped out so it was easy for me to go back and see exactly who it was I was emailing or corresponding with. Cons It was a little challenging trying to figure out some of the features such as dividing my direct deposit between two different accounts. I had to use youtube videos to see how it was done correctly. Simple process just not easily spelled out.

Pros Workday is an essential software for all employees. It manages basically every aspect of your work life from schedules, to time off, pay, and benefits. It makes all this information easy to access and thus helps you stay informed about everything to do with work. Cons The software may show apps that your company does not use, this can get a little annoying because they appear on your dashboard, but serve no purpose. Review Source CG Corey G. Director of Product Management Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workday makes more work in your day" May 24, 2021 4.0 Pros It consolidates a lot of features into one overall application. Cons It's cumbersome and a pain to use. The user experience is clunky and the features are strict. There are a TON of error messages. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Independent Travel Agent Hospitality Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Everything in one place" November 20, 2018 5.0 Pros I love that it is so user friendly. I am able to submit time off requests, expense reports, and hours all in the same week. I get to see the process of my expense report approvals every step of the way. I can see the balances of sick, vacation, and holiday time before I request time off. Cons The only time I ever had a problem was when my manager left her position. My expense report got stuck waiting for her approval, but I brought that to her boss's attention and it was immediately rectified. If I didn't have workday, I might now have known where to go to get it fixed. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Phlebotomist/ lab tech Medical Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Workday Payroll" April 17, 2019 5.0 I can access everything job related in one place. I use it everyday and I never have to ask anyone for help, because it's so easy to navigate. Pros All of the links are big clean icons which are organized in a way that makes it super easy to find what your looking for. We keep a lot of information in this software, so I can go back and see my hiring interview and resume that I used to apply for my job. I can also find my paychecks and w2s. I can choose how and when I get paid; for instance I can choose how often I want a percentage of one of my checks to go to another bank account. I like being able to do this stuff myself instead of calling around to find the right department and bug them to do it for me. Cons For some reason we don't use it as our time clock, I don't know if that's an option for anyone, but it feels like it would be a better fit than the time clock system we currently use. Plus, with all of my other job information already there, it seems like it would be a natural fit. Review Source TH Teagen H. Student Technician Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Workday As A User" February 21, 2022 4.0 My overall experience with workday is positive. Its a great software for what I use it for. The issue I have with workday, stated in previous field, is a minor inconvenience. Pros I liked a lot that everything I need regarding scheduling, time, tax, and payroll were found all in one place. I am sure there is a lot more to Workday than that but this is the only portion that concerns me. Cons The app is pretty buggy. I like having the ability to sign into the app to access my time sheets incase I forgot to submit my time for the pay period. However, the times don't save correctly on the phone. I will write in say 5 hours for Monday and hit check. The 5 hours for Monday wont load so I do it again and it then loads. this happens everyday I try to enter my time for those days. Once I submit it will only show what was loaded on the little schedule screen. Then a week or so later I get an email from HR asking about these extra hours which I have to explain as an app error. Another thing is I am unable to enable to cookies to login easier.

Cons From a payroll perspective, I don't like that you are essentially 'on your own' without an account manager.

Cons The worker data page doesn't have a back button to explore to the past page. Review Source AA Alycia A. PROPERTY MANAGER Warehousing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Using Workday to keep track of every employee matters" June 16, 2023 5.0 My overall experience was excellent. No complaints. Pros How accurately the system tracked employee time punches when clocking in and out. Cons In my opinion, workday had a few glitches that can be worked out. For example, missed punches, or punching in to soon should be flagged at the time of punching not later when it is time for payroll. Review Source Pranshu P. Software engineer Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workday is most widely used HR mgmt software" December 1, 2019 4.0 Overall the application is very good. It has consolidated recruiting and other HR activities of the company. Pros It has lot of features from recruiting to other HR management activities. I use it in my company for performance evaluation, elearning, recruiting, payroll etc. It is a very effective tool and my company is giving it a very good feedback. It has definitely chanellized all HR activities in 1 tool. Cons The user interface sometimes feel clutery. Like while recruiting the applicant should not be asked to login each time. The interface does not fit appropriately while accessing application on different platforms and machines.
