### "It has been a great experience. Benefits are never easy, but Workday makes it easy. "

December 14, 2017

5.0

I'm able to select my benefits and enroll in everything with ease. I love how their is quick links to my companies polices readily available also.

Pros

When annual enrollment comes around, I receive a message in my inbox. I opened it up and I'm ready to start selecting my benefits. The UI is great. The response time is great. A+

Cons

I honestly do not have a single complaint. I've use this two years in a row and I love it. I feel any changes made at this point would be changing for the sake of change, not for an improvement.

### "Mediocre Platform"

November 16, 2017

1.0

Pros

Workday is fairly easy to use. I do like the ability to login with your fingerprint on new cellular devices.

Cons

Workday gets overcomplicated very easily. I feel like there is too much going on in one place. Sometimes it moves slow and I have personally had frequent issues with check ins.

### "Workday is good but can be better"

November 24, 2019

4.0

Overall, I am satisfied with Workday but it needs better advertising to stay relevant

Pros

Workday is good and it helps me view my paychecks; it is reliable and user friendly. I use it bi-weekly.

Cons

It is expensive to use for HR. It is an HR tool and I wish support can be made better for users in everyday use.

### "Workday - ease of use."

March 21, 2019

5.0

Pros

It’s easy to navigate and the QuickLinks page offers links to all of the other pages that you may need to access throughout your workday.

Cons

Every once in a while going through the sequence of events on inbox items is ineffective and the program will freeze up so you have to restart.

### "Review of Workday HCM"

November 12, 2021

4.0

Pros

The best feature is it separates the hours of the different jobs that employees are reporting which is good for when employees have different positions in the same company.

Cons

There is aspects of the user interface that are time consuming and a pain. For instance it keeps an open box for each day for reporting hours, but you need to erase empty boxes to submit.

### "Real SaaS Application as well for IT Operations"

March 13, 2017

5.0

Migration to the new platform was well prepared by Workday standards. Review by Workday of the work of implementation Partner was helpfull. Enabling Business to configure Business Processes works

Pros

Functionality is good. Bugs get communicated and fixed fast. Issues in Production get as well proactively communicated. Many things are implemented you rarely see in other applications - it is SaaS ready.

Cons

reporting is good - but you have to know a lot to use the correct objects.

### "Workday Review "

July 19, 2019

4.0

It is a Good Application as it will reduce your need to bug the HR or payroll because you will have all your information available on a click.

Pros

I used this app while working with PwC and it made the visibility of our benefits very simple. Just logging in would fetch your entire details and constant feeding of details is not required. Much of the details are clearly written and browsing is easy as well.

Cons

Most of the links are in the form of clip Art, so initially you may find it difficult to identify which one to go for. But once when get the hang of it it becomes very easy.

### "Confusing interface/design"

October 10, 2018

3.0

Pros

Aesthetically pleasing, let’s you start and stop self reviews easily, easy to find inbox from the home screen (I found myself treating the inbox like a hub)

Cons

I often found myself confused about where to go to complete tasks or find documents. I found myself clicking in a circle, ending back at the home screen , and ultimately using my inbox as the way to find anything. Maybe I just wasn’t paying enough attention, but it seems like it shouldn’t be so hard for the occasional user to find what they need

### "Clear and Simple"

December 17, 2019

5.0

Very simple to use. the overall performance of the application is great, it is fast. Capturing time can be very quick if you use the sign In/Out features.

Pros

The application is simple to understand. the terms are consistent from one part of the application to another. As a user, I see that the processes are well defined. Versatile, it does support Canada and US labor standards for Time reporting.

Cons

Little quirks, I wish I could enter my timesheet for the week on Monday not Friday. you can't enter time in the future when capturing your timesheet. Some areas are missing Export to Excel like the weekly timesheets.
