### "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.

### "Impressive portal for employee request"

January 23, 2023

5.0

I am using Workday HCM for requesting annual leave or to submit different expenses that I do during my job. I really enjoy its design and features.

Pros

I do enjoy the product for being intuitive and straight forward, not hard to use.

Cons

I find the product accurate and well-organised, I could not say what I do not like about it. For my purpose of use it is more than enough.

### "Functional"

March 5, 2019

5.0

Pros

It is very functional, it does all that we have needed it to do.

Cons

A lot of the lingo in the UI is cryptic and often hard to interpret. The messages implementation is poor, hard use.

### "Cloud-based HR system that is very easy to implement/use"

January 4, 2019

4.0

Pros

As a completely SaaS-based HR solution, implementation is very straight-forward, and the UI is very easy and intuitive for colleagues to use

Cons

Historically, the per user licensing cost was quite high, but I have not been involved commercially for some time, so this may no longer be the case?

### "Good HCM platform"

December 10, 2019

4.0

Our company has benefited from some of this software's additional features such us a board with anniversary/birthday pop ups and the calendar view of time off across company, teams and locations.

Pros

The individual and team visualisation, as well as absence tracking are the best features of this system.

Cons

Default filters of performance reviews and other direct reports data is not cronological, so old inputs appear mixed with new ones at first sight.

### "A more "controlled" system "

July 30, 2018

5.0

Pros

Workday also has an application as well which makes it convenient for all users. Employees can also log in to view paychecks, PTO, etc...

Cons

Whenever it generates a pdf copy of the paystub you will have to wait and then log back in to pull up a copy.

### "Big but Clunky "

July 10, 2018

3.0

Pros

The support and implementation teams are very helpful, and there is plenty of functionality to be had.

Cons

It's big, it's clunky, and just not very user friendly. I think that the different packages make it hard to decide the level you need.
