August 21, 2018 4.0 A little expensive but WELL worth the cost - the ROI will more than satisfy you. Pros As a SBO, I need to get the scheduling and manage various changes (such as people getting injured or ill or on Family Leave). Workday provides this for me and my lead staff members. It aligns the financial performance with the HR (people) performance, giving you a broad view of your organizational performance. The reports can be up to the minute when thing get tight or quarters are ending, or you have that meeting with your investors/board. Support team is excellent. Cons It is a steeper financial investment for a small business owner, but the benefits will surprise you.

Review Source AL Alex L. Sr. Manager, Marketing Operations Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Workday is a great all in one tool for employee benefits" December 16, 2017 5.0 Pros Benefits, payroll, and time tracking all in one place. Both as an employee and as a people manager, this tool makes my life very easy for the administration task work that comes with being both. Cons Time off tracking for employees would be more helpful if there was integrations with group calendars or options to show time-off for an entire team and make it easy for everyone within a team/organization to see planned time off for subordinates. Review Source LU Lyndsy U. Talent Acquisition Partner Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Not a great ATS tool" April 10, 2020 3.0 Pros I like having really great line of site into benefits, pay, PTO balance, work history, org charts, LMS, etc. It’s great to have all of these items in one place! Cons Not a great ATS tool out of the box. A lot of inefficiencies as you maneuver through. Review Source ID India D. Career and Academic Advisor Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Workday is user friendly and effective" September 12, 2020 5.0 Overall, workday allowed me to handle issues regarding my benefits on the computer. Other than the functions on the phone and the app, it is a great tool. Pros Workday is great for tracking benefits and viewing PTO. It also allows you to take time off, make changes, and view benefits at your job in a quick and easy way. Cons Workday can be difficult to use on your phone and on the app. I would recommend enhancing the app and phone version so you can view and make changes on the go. Review Source PI Pat I. Accountant Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The benefit of Workday Benefits" May 22, 2019 4.0 Pros This app provides me an overview of the many benefits that our Company offers with just a few clicks because the dashboard allows the quick access. It's so convenient when you need to make changes in your beneficiaries and/or dependents. At any time, you can view the benefits that you elected for the year and most important, the rates --- co-pays or deductibles. External links are even provided in case lore info is needed. Cons So far, I haven't thought of anything that I needed and didn't find it in this software. Review Source MK Mary K. Systems Engineer - Wireless Connectivity Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Work hour tracking" May 31, 2018 4.0 Pros It was nice to have all of the learning and everything in one location and the user interface was way nicer than what my company used previously. Cons I was not really a fan of how the hours were put in, it was a pain having to deal with the pop up that made you include what your hours were towards and then put in the hours. I think there should be a more straightforward way of putting in hours. There was also errors if you didn't put hours in for certain days which was annoying. Review Source NW Natasha W. Manager Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Powerful HR Platform" December 24, 2025 5.0 Overall, Workday is a solid platform, but it’s best suited for large organizations with dedicated HR teams. While it’s powerful, it’s not designed with small businesses or contractors in mind. For those users, it can feel overwhelming rather than supportive. But for large organizations, it works well. Pros Workday is very robust and handles HR, payroll, and employee data in one system. It’s reliable, secure, and well-suited for managing complex employee information. For organizations with many employees, it provides strong reporting and consistency across HR processes. Cons Workday is not very user-friendly for everyday tasks. The system can feel complicated, and simple actions often require multiple steps. For solo entrepreneurs or small teams, it’s far more than what’s needed and can feel time-consuming and rigid. Review Source PP Paul P. Analyst Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Solid HR Platform" February 12, 2023 4.0 Pros Ultimately, Workday is easy to navigate and find the areas important to you and your team for HR management. Its menus are intuitive and not overly nested in the UI. Cons I find that the reporting (e.g. to generate tax docs or pay slips) can take a while, and has a clunky system of alerting you once the download is complete as opposed to being more instantaneous. Review Source GV Gerardo V. Warehouse Manager Warehousing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Workday user" January 23, 2023 5.0 Workday is a life saver Pros Workday makes onboarding easier than printing out paperwork for all new employees. Cons Only improvement I can see that needs to be done is the time of updated information for the employees. Review Source MI Michael I. Team Lead Government Administration Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Review for Workday HCM - " March 1, 2023 5.0 Pros An advantage of using Workday HCN is the platform's integrated approach to HR management. Michael appreciates how the platform seamlessly integrates with other HR tools and systems, which reduces the need for manual data entry and streamlines processes across the organization. This integration can save time and resources while also improving data accuracy and reducing errors. Cons There are some potential drawbacks to using Workday HCN. One common complaint is that the platform can be complex and challenging to use for some users, particularly those who are not familiar with HR management software. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director of Prospect Development Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "great product for talent management, benefits, and compensation" December 11, 2019 5.0 Workday is our tool for hiring, talent management, benefits, training, time off, and compensation. It's a complete platform that uses our single sign on. Pros Excellent interface. Workday is simple and easy to use, and is natural to navigate. I appreciate that Workday uses email notifications sparingly. Cons Workday seems somewhat constricted in ability to customize workflows, but that may be just a streamlined presentation to end users. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Human Resources Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A little more complex than it should be" August 13, 2020 3.0 With extensive training from Workday support the system could be great, but employees prefer something a little less training required. Pros Workday has the ability to offer several features to our business over and array of worklets and add ons. Cons The system is not very user intuitive. Many tasks that should be easy to perform are more complex than we prefer. Our employees to not love the system and have certainly preferred other systems we've utilized over Workday Review Source AS Alexis S. CNA Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Benefits" September 5, 2023 5.0 Pros How easy it was to access payroll or any benefits I may have. Cons It was so easy to us, there is nothing I dislikes about it. Review Source KH Kristine H. Supervisor, HRIS Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great tool that is easy to configure" October 19, 2017 5.0 Able to manage benefit administration ourselves and not use a third party. Able to configure the system to what we need. Pros Easy to right business rules as needed for many different complex eligibility groups. Very user friendly! Cons Reporting in benefits can be tricky - but do-able. I would recommend taking a reporting class before you implement. Review Source SS Sherri S. Teacher Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Overall Great System" July 27, 2021 5.0 Allowing employees to request time off through Workday alleviates much of the in between between employees and HR. Pros Workday is an overall great system for tracking time off for employees. Cons I see no cons with the system. It was easy to integrate and use. Review Source Tyler W. Engineer Medical Devices Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great improvement over other software" July 17, 2019 4.0 Overall, it is a great product and much better than previous software. Pros Easy to see my benefits, pay, time-off, etc. Very easy to use compared to other software I have used. Cons It was slow at times to download pay stubs and to load certain pages on Workday.

Doesn't take long to learn how to use Workday HCM. Cons No major cons beside the cost - an extremely expensive software for what it does but probably the best out there Review Source PG Philip G. Technician Consumer Electronics Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Makes recruiting a breeze" April 9, 2019 5.0 Pros Sources candidates from multiple job sites to find me staff quickly Cons No step can be missed in the job posting phase Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Manager, Data Management Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Constantly improving " December 4, 2018 5.0 Pros Payroll and benefits for Workday are awesome. Really makes life easier than previous platforms I've worked in. Cons They're trying too hard to fit things that don't fit. Like many products it seems like they want to be a single source end all be all platform. They did a great job on payroll and benefits but aren't doing as great in other HR/accounting platforms because they're squeezing them into something it wasn't made for. They seem to constantly improve but it would be better if they did the additional features right, as they did with earlier features, or not at all. Review Source Alexander V. BioProcess Engineer Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Very Intuitive Human Resources Tracker" November 22, 2020 5.0 If you're looking for a program to log hours and monitor the benefits of your employees, it is perfect and easy to use. Pros I could figure it out in about an hour, and everything I need to do on it is not overly complicated to figure out. I haven't had to contact customer service once to use it. Cons It is pretty simple and doesn't have advanced features that I've seen. The performance ratings don't seem that useful.
