### "A Great Software For The User....Not So Much For IT"

February 28, 2019

5.0

That being said, as a user, it is a great experience as long as you are not the one setting it up. I feel that Workday should provide some materials with their video for future reference as when my company’s page faced some issues, it took quite some time to resolve due to Workday’s use of an outdated system for customer support.

Pros

As a user, Workday Performance Management is great as you can log into Workday and see lots of information about your performance, job position (layout of the company), and when combined with other Workday softwares, it makes a great way to track your position/advancement in the company as well as your salary, benefits, and work schedule.

Cons

While I do not work in HR, or integrate this software with the existing programs, from what I have heard from my colleagues is that it can be very hard to implement the software. There are not many free programs/materials to help you get started so in the case of my company, we had to pay for Workday’s course but even then, some issues have come up but we as a company are left in the blue as the course was a one time video and cannot be accessed again. All this in my opinion would not suit start-ups as it can be very costly.

### "Swiss Army Knife of HR"

November 27, 2023

5.0

Overall, it's a very usable platform and has a lot of convenient features.

Pros

The platform allows you to manager several different HR related things through a single dashboard, such as posting jobs, compensation, and employee performance.

Cons

Applying to a job through Workday is terribly cumbersome and not user friendly on either end.

### "Review of Workday Payroll"

February 5, 2019

4.0

Pros

I was provided instructions for the Workday Payroll software with how to add my bank account information, routing number, etc. in order to sign up for direct deposit. The instructions (that were provided via Workday) were extremely easy to follow and allowed me to seamlessly enter my information and follow the screen prompts. Also, viewing my payments and checks was very easy via their online portal.

Cons

For my personal use, there was no mobile application provided to me so that I could view my payments and confirm that payment was received. Although I did get an email confirmation that I was paid, I would've also liked to see an app notification letting me know payment was received or if I needed to provide any more information.

### "All hail for Workday!"

November 28, 2018

5.0

Pros

Most smoothest product i have used in Human Resources. This product has all the key points you require and user friendliness makes it more valuable to customers like us who look for products which can simplify their work and reduce the time waste while running payroll; handling grievances; or taking care of employee data. But it does need a lot of knowledge transfer from the seniors who knows Workday better.

Cons

Well it's a commercial product like Oracle and SAP and i would consider it is one of the best by far as it is on cloud so i don't have any cons for it you just need to have a really good internet connection.

### "Workday User - Pretty User Friendly!"

January 23, 2023

5.0

Pros

What I really like about Workday - once you know how to use it - it's pretty easy to use! You get used to knowing where the relevant information is and how to access it. I also like the automated reminders - if I need to update something or complete something in my profile, Workday will notify me and allow me easy access to directly go to the area in my profile I need to work on.

Cons

I do feel like the platform can be a bit difficult to navigate if you don't know what you're looking for. They released an update which changed the UX for an end user recently and it was hard to figure out where to go to find what I needed. Once I did it was easy to use - but it took some getting used to!

July 29, 2022

5.0

Pros

I love how I can use the desktop and the mobile application and it looks identical. Makes my life so much easier to be able to report from any location.

Cons

I have no complaints about this software, I use it for everything with ease.

### "Workday HCM as a Reporting Platform"

May 20, 2019

5.0

I have worked within the platform in a reporting capacity. I have created custom reports, dashboards, and calculated fields.

Pros

I use the Workday HCM mainly for employee reporting and what I like best is the vast amount of customization you can use when creating reports. There are unlimited options in terms of fields and report types. The platform also has great capabilities for creating visuals and dashboards.

Cons

What I like least about this platform is the complexity required when creating reports. In many cases it feels much more complicated than it needs to be. It can take vast amounts of time figuring out solutions to simple problems.

### "Horrible end-user experience"

February 25, 2019

1.0

Fix your horrible time submission functionality, save your end-users dozens of hours annually, and I'll improve this review.

Pros

I guess it looks ok, and it may function well from an administrative perspective, but I don't have any insight into that.

Cons

As an employee at a company that uses Workday for HRIS, I have to say I can't imagine something that I want to do less than try to submit my timesheet through this application. The process for submitting my time is so manual and outdated, that the entire idea fills me with dread. What day and age do we live in where I have to fill out forms for clocking in and out, log my meal time, and have to enter these time allotments for every day that I work. Why is there no way to copy times from a previous entry/date, and why is there no functionality to drag and drop my times in on the worksheet instead of filling out 25+ form fields per week that I work? How difficult could this possibly be to fix and why has this not been addressed?

### "Not designed well as an ATS"

October 16, 2019

3.0

This system seems to be designed more as an HRIS with ATS functionality, but it has missed the mark. Coming previously from Taleo, this system has only caused headaches and cost my team valuable time.

Pros

It has a great overall look and candidate information is all shown in one dashboard with tabs.

Cons

The different pages are hard to navigate between. There are hundreds of reporting options but most seem to be useless from a recruiting standpoint.

### "Intuitive UI, robust feature set, complex implementation"

July 27, 2021

5.0

Pros

Integrates all aspects of employee management lifecycle from recruiting, onboarding, payroll, benefits, training, and offboarding. Very intuitive UI and easy to use, especially compared to almost any other management software.

Cons

Not unique to Workday, but it is very complex to implement and integrate. Will most likely need professional services to do this well, and it's important to get it right the first time.

### "A strong solution for HCM and employee voice"

February 19, 2023

4.0

Pros

Very intuitive software for both management and employee. Peakon - very good experience. Employee reviews - very good experience. Merit & bonus - very good experience. Org charts are helpful. Employee data, day to day & PTO management - all very good.

Cons

Not a perfect tool, but nothing that stands out as negative from a user perspective.

### "Workday works!"

December 24, 2018

5.0

Pros

Most processes were intuitive and easy to use and configure. The solutions people really knew their space and were able to share approaches from other customers that solved our issues. The user community is robust and active.

Cons

It’s missing case management and a solution to handle employee files. Recruitment was not as mature as I would have liked. The LMS needs to mature.

### "HR System that is very user friendly "

July 16, 2019

5.0

Pros

Workday is extremely user friendly. It is easy to navigate to find what you need whether it be your time off or your health benefits. The notifications alert you when you are required to complete something making it easy to remember.

Cons

Downloading records in workday is not very intuitive. I have always had a difficult time when trying to download a record, for example a copy of my performance development plan.

November 8, 2018

5.0

Pros

I liked using this software at a previous job of mine because it was fun to use with the format of the software and how easy and straightforward it was to use.

Cons

I did not like how often it crashed though. I worked at that job for a couple of months and it crashed about three times in the span of four months. It was quickly back in order by the end of the work day.

### "Very easy to use "

December 14, 2019

4.0

Workday has simple and easy menus. Lots of different integrated functionality.

Pros

The user experience is really easy for menus specifically. Form filling, notifications, and org charts are some of my favorite features.

Cons

The timekeeping module is quite clunky and specific, at least at my company. The time has to be military, and I often make mistakes about being in the right column.

### "Workday for Payroll + Time Logging"

July 24, 2022

5.0

Pros

Workday is a very easy software system to use when logging working hours, submitting PTO, payroll or expense report submission, etc. Very consolidated!

Cons

Not that Workday needs an integration with other applications, but that is the only thing that I could find negative about Workday.

January 6, 2020

I used workday for daily recording of my attendance, to set up my quarterly goals, and provide and receive our performance reviews.

Pros

360-degree employee performance review is the best feature for employees as well as managers. It gives ease to employees to review their performance in a systematic way and receive feedback from their management.

Cons

Adding daily attendance in the software. It should be integrated with the fingerprint machine to recognize automatically.

February 21, 2019

5.0

Pros

It holds my deepest secrets. My vacation and personal time, my days on or off, all the holidays I need to know about (It is Family day in Canada, so I guess I have a 3 day weekend), and how I fee about my work/boss (yearly reviews)

Cons

We seem to have a problem with having up to date vacation and personal time. We don’t have integration with ADP(this could be my employer and not Workdays fault)

Check my pay slip, job referrals

Pros

I use Workplace almost everyday for both payroll and job referrals internally. It offers a one stop frustration free interface for all my needs. I love the user friendliness of this software as well as the clarity in getting across.

Cons

The mobile app does not provide all the functionality as the desktop interface. It will be great to have them uniform across platforms.
