Sr. Manager, Cyber Security Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good payroll solution" February 26, 2023 5.0 Pros It’s a package solution which does payroll and manages employee profile. Convenient to use. Cons Thorough training is required to leverage all the modules in this platform.

April 5, 2019 5.0 We are solving every business need with Workday because it does it all. Imagine not needing to log into five different accounts to start work in the morning. With Workday, we now just log into one and I can take a leave, complete my timesheet, enter my performance review, process new applicants and so much more. I love the versatility of Workday and I'm excited to continue using it and learning more. Pros I love having everything from timesheets, work history, hiring, testing, performance, etc all in one place. I'm not used to it and I'm still adapting after using Oracle, ADP, SalesForce, etc. Workday is so much easier to use than Taleo, so easy that I feel I'm doing something wrong or missing a set of steps. That's not a bad thing. Cons I'm used to different reports and it has been a pain/learning curve to get reports I'm used to in order to maintain status quo for the reports I'm responsible for. In time, this will go away, but it has been tedious. Review Source GI Gayana I. CX, Escalations Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workday is a great tool for managing time, vacation, and pay" July 8, 2021 5.0 Workday is a great HR tool that helps business organize and provide important information to their employees and employees to have access to everything related to their earnings, times, and financial documents Pros I love that the app is super easy to use on the phone and i have the same functionality as the website. I can access my pay stubs, download them, access my W2s, vacation, sick time - basically anything i ever need to know about employment data Cons To be honest, i can't even think of anything. I really like workday and i most definitely prefer it to ADP Review Source NM Natasha M. Product Designer Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Workday is good for everyday business needs" February 14, 2023 3.0 Easy to add in absence and track my performance with my manager. Pros It's very easy to update any information needed as an employee. I like how everything is centralised in one place such as pay and leave. Cons The navigation can be a little tricky to find exactly what document I'm looking for as it includes all updates.

Pros the app makes it easy to use on the go. taking time off/absent days/sick days etc is easy to scroll and drop down menus make it simple. Cons can be slow at times in the app, but be sure to update the version as this will help with any bugs. Review Source Schanel W. Owner, Health And Wellness Coach Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for Managers to view employees " December 1, 2020 5.0 Great for what I needed it for and easy for my employees to use. Pros The ease and convenience of this software. The simple layout of the home page. Keeps employees info organized Cons Nothing much but maybe easier to upload signatures for paper work instead of scanning. Possibly digital signature Review Source Matt K. Senior Project Manager Legal Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Workday - Employee Engagement Tool" November 28, 2018 5.0 This web-based system is great - we have found it to be easy to use, easy to deploy, and users rarely complain about how it works. The ability to link payroll, HR, benefits, and employee time off is really nice and allows better reporting. Pros This is a great system to replace your benefit and payroll employee reporting solutions. The menus are intuitive and all of the users are able to get the information they need, input their time off requests, and manage the annual performance goals with ease. Cons The transition to Workday was fairly simple, but it caused much confusion with the users as we had overlapping systems for a short period of time. Sometimes the user interface can be confusing, but that might be how it was implemented by the HR team. Review Source SF Shanikwa F. Human Resources Generalist Human Resources Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use" January 13, 2021 5.0 I love Workday because it’s very user friendly and you have the ability to do almost anything because it has so many features. Pros Great integration features. Great software for applicant tracking, storing employee information and pulling my day to day reports for payroll and employee job details. Cons The main user interface can be a bit confusing. It’s easy for employees to navigate but when it comes to administrators it definitely takes some getting used to. Review Source LW Leo W. Integrated Marketing Specialist Broadcast Media Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Onboarding was a Snap!" June 30, 2020 5.0 Overall Workday is a nearly seamless package that expediates onboarding and showed in significant detail, all the benefits that were offered to me, which ones I could enroll in, the related expenses for each one, and held my hand through the complete process to ensure that all the I's were crossed and all the T's were dotted! Pros I enjoyed the process of using Workday to get onboarded when I started my position. Everything from payroll, to emergency contacts, to health insurance, to life insurance, disability, and work history goes into this thing. Probably more. It made is super simple to read through all the required legal documentation, fill out all necessary payroll documentation, tax documentation, my dependents, everything. All the while showing a progress bar monitoring my progress. I'm sure it makes it super simple for the HR department as well. Cons It was a little daunting to spend hours working with it to input all the necessary data. At times I was wishing it was being handled manually. There were a few glitches along the way that prevented me from going through the full process the first time, but in the end it all worked out. Review Source Michael E. Fixed Income Operations Specialist Investment Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workday Payroll" November 27, 2018 5.0 Pros Workday Payroll makes it incredibly simple to allocate employee pay selections and withholdings Cons The simple box design of the multiple choice elections can sometimes require unnecessary scrolling Review Source NW Norman W. Training Specialist Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We use it because we have to" August 16, 2020 4.0 Pros \- One of the most common HR platforms so onboarded staff from other companies will likely recognize it. - Does what it needs to in terms of time, payroll, performance goal management, and employee data. Cons \- Interface is slow and crashes constantly. - The text fields for entering certain user data (like performance goals) are small (cannot be resized) and hard to edit once submitted. - Required features or sections are embedded multiple layers down. Often have to hunt for the correct link/resource. Review Source HH Houston H. Operator Glass, Ceramics & Concrete Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Web based HR and more" January 6, 2022 3.0 With a little more streamlined interface this would be a very good option for HR tasks. Pros I liked the task management for delegating tasks to my team. The payroll and scheduling systems are pretty straight forward. Cons It's easy to get lost in the bubble interface if you are not paying very close attention. Sometimes I forget where to find certain options because of this. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer 会社員 Information Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "メイン画面はとても分かりやすい。ただ各項目の操作においては少し慣れが必要" February 13, 2023 4.0 Pros 全体的に操作がしやすい、シンプルなユーザーインターフェイス。必要な項目の入力に関して、項目をワンクリックした上で基本的に必要な操作を済ませることが出来る点は便利。また多言語対応している部分もこの製品の1つの強さであると思っている。また、スマホ版のAppも出ており、事前にiPhoneであればFaceIDなどの設定を行なっていれば、スムーズに勤怠入力をする事が出来る点は便利。 Cons スマホ版は一度起動さえしてしまえば勤怠入力含め、時間入力やその他の項目に直ぐに飛んで入力が出来る所は重宝している。ただし、PCからだとソフト自体の読み込み/起動に少し時間がかかる所や、勤怠管理においてはflex勤務などの勤務体系の勤怠入力にはまだあまり向いていないように見える。 Review Source EE Erin E. Human Resources Generalist II Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Workday Time Off Review" July 16, 2019 5.0 I really like how Workday has the capability to host multiple types of business processes under the same system - from payroll, HCM, time off, leaves, and performance (just to name a few), it's great to have everything under the same "roof" - rather than testing so many different types of integrations. Happy customer! Pros The Time Off functionality is so customizable! With over 17,000 pre-made calculations set up, and the ability to create your own (if needed), whatever you are trying to set up in the system, there's a high likelihood you'll be able to do it. From the training provided, it's recommended to set up different Time Off Plans for any time off type you have, this means more maintenance, but more flexibility within the system. As a general recommendation with Workday, get familiar with the vocab/wording they use to describe the system - it really helps understand the software. Cons Being fairly new to the software, the fact that it is so customizable is very overwhelming at first. I recommend going slow, and reaching out to customer service support, or Workday Community, whenever you run into a snag or question - there are a lot of resources available, and whatever your holdup is, there's a good chance someone has going through something similar and can help you through it too.

Senior Paid Search Analyst Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good professional platform - Workday" December 1, 2023 5.0 I have been using it for 6 months since I started at the company. I use it as a user. Pros It is an ideal tool to manage all employees. From my side as a user, I can manage my vacations, my contract, my professional profile and many other company incorporation data. Cons I don't see that it has negative things. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Technical Recruiter Government Administration Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Worsr ATS I have ever seen" June 28, 2019 1.0 I hear it is cheap. that is good because that is the only thing positive about this garbage product. Pros When ever thing is working right the program functions as expected. Cons It seldom works properly. There are zero work around and if someone else doesn't do something you are dead in the water with being able to hire a candidate. It slowed our internal process greatly. And ever person has different access so you helping someone else and them helping you is a nightmare. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Tech Support - Customer Service Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workday Recruiting Honest Review" January 15, 2019 5.0 Pros very easy way to view openings and job details! also an easy platform to submit referrals! Cons not really anything i can complain about. very user friendly and works well! hardly any issues Review Source GK Ganesh K. HRM E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy and Friendly HCM Software to use" February 3, 2023 4.0 I like and overall I found it good to use. Pros Workday HCM is a cloud-based system, meaning it is accessible from anywhere with an internet connection. Cons While using this software it may have a steep learning curve for users who are not familiar with its interface and features. This can lead to decreased productivity and frustration for employees who are trying to perform their tasks. Review Source Gokulakrishnan B. Software Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Workday payroll review" September 27, 2019 5.0 I enjoy using workday and would recommend it to anyone interested in starting out with it. Pros Its very easy to manage payroll reconciliation with workday. There are detailed instruction guides which make it very easy even for a complete beginner to get started with workday. Cons Even though it is extremely easy to use and get started, workday requires unnecessary steps to verify documents. I understand that it is needed for verification, but sometimes it can be deviating the user from focusing on the task. Review Source RV Raviteja V. Workday Developer Information Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Cloud Tool Ever " September 17, 2020 5.0 I'm delighted with the features and use of use that the Workday provided. Pros I have been working for four years in the Workday Cloud system, and the software was fantastic. It mains every minute data, and the data keeps forever in the cloud system. Cons The workday can improve their existing service in a few areas like Business Process and some tasks that users use in their daily life. Review Source DS David S. Informatics Technical Service Specialisg Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Most complete and integrated HCM" April 10, 2023 5.0 For sure my overall experience is totally satisfied Pros I lost the count of how many functionalities that Workday brings to the organization and tools that can be integrated with. Definitely it provides an easy and smooth experience to the user and the organization. Cons Didn’t find any relevant negative point, I’ve experienced sometimes information difficult to find out within the HCM, though this could be based on how the organization configures it Review Source VR Verified Reviewer 事業開発 Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "非常にシンプルで見やすい" February 13, 2023 5.0 これからも使います! Pros パッと見て何をするにはどこを見ればいいのかわかる。 Cons フォントがあともう少し太いとうれしいです。 Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Practice Head - Quality Engineering Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best suite for People and Resource Management" June 25, 2021 4.0 It feels like a really premium experience as a manager in managing my people, and as an employee of my organization Pros Easy to use but fully featured. You can go deep in maximizing its use for people management, from goals tracking, training, and time and work tracking Cons I cannot think of anything specific that makes this tool bad - if something can be improved, maybe more visibility in what features are role-specific (am I using this as a manager, or as an employee) Review Source JR Javier R. Data Analyst Public Relations and Communications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Práctico y de uso fácil " April 10, 2023 4.0 La utilicé en mi empresa anterior y en la actual, con un grado de satisfacción alto. Pros Su facilidad para la gestión de vacaciones u otras ausencias así como para la consulta de datos del empleado. Cons A veces el recuento de días puede variar por estar en horas en lugar de días, y debería haber un concepto mas estandarizado para los días libres.
