Pros It has a good interface; it's simple to use and is good at streamlining a bunch of HR tasks like payroll and general contract stuff. Cons It can be annoying to use when searching for jobs; its search feature doesn't show much detail about each job and makes it so that you have to do a lot more looking than with other platforms.

April 20, 2026 4.0 Overall it's been a good experience, having used it for a couple years now to manage my team and myself reviews, time off, etc. Pros I like Workday's layout and design along with its ease of use. The user experience is fairly good with most things being intuitive. Cons On occasion it's hard to decipher where to locate something or what a report/functionality is called.

SR HR Leader Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent HRIS system " December 3, 2025 5.0 Excellent experience . I used mostly the applicant tracking and learning management database the most. Pros Good quality system and high- end technology. Well known and a good reputation in the Human Resources world. Cons Implementation takes a long time and it’s a lot of training to go through to learn the system and use it. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sr AI Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Powerful HR tool" February 22, 2026 4.0 Pros Been using this for a couple of purposes, on-boarding, doing mandatory and complementary courses, surveys and evaluations. I liked the simplicity of the tool. Cons I would say the navigation could have been easier. Also, occasionally would lag but overall not a deal breaker. Review Source AB Allison B. Server Restaurants Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "10/10 for workday" January 27, 2026 5.0 Overall, I would give it a 10/10. It's easy to work with and very productive. Employees seem to like it too Pros It's easy to use and all forms you need are right there. East to navigate and see the history of all transactions Cons Sometimes the password doesn't stay and it has to get reset a lot.

I love how it allows me to streamline my processes when it comes to anything and everything when it comes to my employees. Pros It was so easy to use, I have never encountered an issue and it has never froze or bugged out like other software. It's also not too expensive. I have used workday products for years and it is one of my favorite HR tools. Cons I don't like that you can't change a requisition worker type without having to back all the way out basically and open a brand new requisition.

You can also generate indicidual reports for your team and your respective Org Pros Its a one stop tool for everything - managing absences, payroll, performance reviews, learnings, team management, reporting Cons It would be wonderfull if it could have integrations with other timesheet entry tools like Clarizen, Beeline. This would help managing the reconciliation of vacation and time-offs for the employees in an automated fashion Review Source SE Sarah E. Instructional Designer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Generally good, but a bit tricky to learn and hard to integrate with other systems" January 8, 2025 4.0 Overall, I use Workday most days. Being able to find everything in one place is great, and the ability to run reports to check on training courses etc. is good. It is easy for the instructional designers to upload courses and track completions, and the HR team can run an array of different reports and control access to sensitive data. Pros We use at the moment, and it is very powerful, linking talent management, holidays, payroll and benefits. We recently merged systems with another company's systems, and this was tricky but worked well in the end. Cons I dislike the fact that Workday will time out annoyingly quickly if you are writing something like a staff review, losing your work irrevocably. I believe this may be a setting changeable by our IS team, but the cloud-based nature of Workday means that it can be fragile to bad connections etc. We have also not yet been able to integrate it into our ADP system for parts of the business, so some managers can't approve leave if their employee works in a different location.

June 23, 2025 4.0 Pros This platform has a lot of features that can make life easier as a manager and an employee. Once the tools are mastered it is fantastic.

Senior analyst and consultant Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Among the most reliable tools for talent management in big corporations " July 6, 2025 3.0 Overall great, does what is supposed to be without extra fancy stuff. Experienced few data issues in the past, not due to the software but the way HR was using it for data storage.. Pros Practical and all in one tool for HR and talent management, starting from employee data, to compensation information, performance review etc. Functional and straight to the point interface and all around capabilities. Cons Not so good UI, pretty basic and sometimes difficult to access specific info. An update would be required to combine innovative capabilities leveraging UI customization and AI, with solid data storage and management. Review Source NM Nafula M.

Pros What I like most about is how the time tracking review and editing worked so efficiently. Cons There's not too much I did not like about the application but the initial creation of an account did give me a bit of a problem but customer service was able to assist.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Campaign Specialist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workday: HR Solutions" June 19, 2025 5.0 Pros I have used Workday for applying jobs internally, referrals and finally, for mid year and year end reviews (phew), so far I have like the platform, its not too complicated. Cons One of the biggest con I had with them was not having an auto save functionality. You see Year end reviews require us spending precious time and effort into writing them out, think of a scenario where your manager pinged you while writing and you spent 5 mins away and later come back to see the session timed out without saving your thoughts?!!!!!!!!!! That was the biggest cons, but they have fixed it recently, so I am a super happy user. (yayy!) Review Source DD Deseree D.
