### "Daily Use of Workday in my company"

March 15, 2018

5.0

Pros

easy to use, the search tool is very good to look up information. For employees who are not used to HRIS software this is a great tool

Cons

sometimes if too many people are in the system the performance of the system suffers. Also, sometimes the customer service can be a pain to deal with.

### "Ease of Use"

May 7, 2019

5.0

Pros

Recruiting through Workday is one of the easier systems I've used. The best thing about Workday Recruiting is that you can't mess up. If you haven't put something in correctly it won't let you move forward and/or it will give you an explanation as to what's wrong or incorrect prior to allowing you to submit it. The candidates that apply are all in one section and you can easily move them forward in the process.

Cons

It's a little time consuming at first to adjust to a new software, and there are different parameters than the other system we used in the past. Once you get through the learning curve though it's just fine.

### "Excellent product to use for HCM, if the appropriate support model is in place for your organization."

March 5, 2017

4.0

Inadequate training, lack of internal SME resources, and an absence of a true guided vision/direction by leadership will result in an expensive and poorly received system. As such, an organization will be reliant on implementation partners or independents as consultants, supporting or re-implementing a failed system, which will be even more expensive.

Pros

Workday is leading edge technology and highly configurable.The UI is best in class. Integrations with most 3rd party systems are easy to configure and the delivered packaged integrations are superb.

Cons

An organization needs to ensure proper internal support for the system to function smoothly. Training and user adoption/communication is also key for acceptance. An organization must have the SME talent in-house to be successful.

### "Very Easy and Convenient."

November 2, 2019

5.0

Very pleased with the whole system.

Pros

It is Easy and Convenient as the menu is designed in a very user friendly and practical way. It gives you all the details you are looking for up to real time. It runs fast and accessibility is easy. Saves much time for Time Off application, checking your hours, documents, pay stubs and more.

Cons

Some features are accessible only through a Computer and cannot be accessed by cell phone like the Benefits.

### "Workday Hooray"

July 6, 2023

5.0

I think it's a great platform for managing all the "HR" stuff.

Pros

I like a central location where I can access all my important information: Pay, Benefits, Policies, Procedures, Reviews, etc etc.

Cons

It's a little tricky navigating and it seems like there are different levels of access. I'd like to personalize a little more if possible.

Overall experience with this Workday program is very good and its very easy to navigate.

We use Workday for all management tracking of time off, workday tracks days off and keeps records of each associate including his profile, compensation and personal data.

### "Great resource for HR Functions"

October 14, 2022

5.0

Pros

What I like most about Workday HCM is that large number of feature/functions that can be performed by the software. It's great for PTO tracking, Payroll Deposit changes, Training tracking, and etc.

Cons

So far there isn't anything I least like about the software. Workday HCM has proven to be extremely reliable and has a large range of features to help streamline many HR functions.

### "Awful UI/UX"

October 18, 2021

2.0

Furstrating, sad, and disappointing.

Pros

There is little I like about this software. The thing I like the most is that it is somewhat aesthetically pleasing.

Cons

Small buttons, tons of useless white space, awful navigation, AWFUL resume parsing, worthless searching ability. The software is simply not good. This is unfortunate, I hope they make it better.

### "Wonderful. This software is an industry-leading powerhouse!"

July 16, 2018

5.0

I am able to get into contact with my managers in seconds with this software. Also, I am able to finally put away my tacky spreadsheet and download this software for a smoother payroll experience. I am able to not worry about my Payroll anymore!

Pros

I do not think there is a better payroll software out there. Workday Payroll software allows users of all levels of business to submit time sheets in a matter of seconds. No more physical punch cards or tacky spreadsheets. I love the fact that I can have this software as an application on my phone! I can literally correct mistakes, find manager information, or contact Workday Payroll right from my phone!

Cons

I wish that when submitting my time sheet, the software would send a notification straight to said manager instead of via email. Often I am left having to track down my manager and notify him or her of my current situation with my time sheet.

### "Well integrated system! Good for large organizations! "

October 23, 2021

4.0

Pros

I like how the system is well integrated whereby we could view so many things on Workday such as leave and time off, compensation, employment data and also performance management.

Cons

Some processes are lengthy as it has multiple steps of approval. For example entering time off or doing employee transfers etc..

### "Excellent workplace software for managing most needs and lots of data"

January 11, 2018

4.0

Pros

I think the most I like about the software is its ability to handle big chunks of data and organizing it in such a way that it is not cluttered and easy to find and use later. It helps manage all the different info and uses for an employee.

Cons

I think there is something with the encryption or the platform it was developed on because of which it sometimes returns errors or just freezes. Maybe that can be improved resulting in a better solution.

### "not familiar with the costs or competing services but this application was a pleasure to use"

June 28, 2018

4.0

Whenever the software wasn't working, I'd reach out to the company IT dept and they'd contact workday to resolve tech issues so I am not 100% sure how their customer support is but the software itself is great when it's working properly.

Pros

It has a very clean interface. Structured very well and has components for all sorts of HR needs, from viewing pay stubs, to leaving end of year reviews for managers to read over. Benefits like health and dental were available on this and easy to access as well, which is nice as an employee because it saves you the trouble of having to ask around for it. Getting your end-of-year tax forms from it was also easy, as everything is very organized.

Cons

When the software would act up, it wasn't easy to get a quick fix. Also, when leaving a review or some sort of task for upper management, the process in which you'd have to follow wasn't easy to follow. The save tab on pages wouldn't respond at times, which would prevent you from progressing on these work tasks when they're presented by management.

### "Useful"

October 9, 2019

4.0

It works just fine for company uses. It’s user friendly enough to work for a larger company.

Pros

My company uses Workday to manage our benefits and payroll. It’s pretty easy to use and isn’t overly complicated. It’s user friendly.

Cons

Sometimes it takes several “clicks” to do complete a task. For example, entering a time sheet takes several clicks. However, this is minor and is no longer an issue once you get the hang of it!

### "Becoming one of the best"

January 9, 2019

4.0

Pros

Workday has just about every single feature I needed.

Cons

While some of the HR pieces are top notch, others are not. They have a long way to go to compete with applicant tracking software on the market. Also, pretty aggressive sales add-on tactics.

### "Easy to get started with, difficulties down the line"

August 23, 2018

3.0

Overall I would say this is a great product, but I know that it is expensive compared to a lot of other HCMs on the market and aside from core functionality, an easy roll out and good looking layout, I find it hard to understand what that additional spend gets you.

Pros

The layout is attractive and the inital ease of use is definitely there- I was here for the company wide international roll out and it went through fairly easily, which is a positive sign.

Cons

The training internally was nonexistent, so once issues came up down the line that were not covered by the core feture set (as they inevitably do with HR products) there was a bit of a loss of confidence in the system and how to use it.

### "Great tool"

February 1, 2020

4.0

Pros

Like all the other counterparts from the Workday assembly, this one also provides a structured view of all the data you need to use or to archive.

Cons

Personally, it proved harder to train people to use it as opposed to the other Workday products.
