### "Highly promising sometimes a little high on the click"

November 7, 2024

4.0

Workday's strategy to build a simple and highly configurable product that is relatively simple to maintain on a low training level makes it an exceptionally adequate product. Their blockchain strategy for the future is an exceptionally promising concept. Example: Basically once locked in i.e. a formal background check can be locked in, and for future chchecks one would only need to update the gap since the last check, this can make the whole process very efficient and effective putting way less strain on employment checks, less external agency cost and so forth.

Pros

it's exceptionally well built for user configuration with it's highly flexible drag and drop customisation "out of the box"

Cons

it can be very "click heavy" to complete a workflow and having two browser windowns open with workday at the same time can cause glitching.

### "The go to standard overview tool for employees"

February 6, 2025

5.0

Workday was easy to navigate, overloaded with functionalities. I joined the company and resigned using it. It was the standardized tool and helped me navigate corporate life easily.

Pros

The in depth FAQ and support was good, it was easy to navigate and covered all features, including employment period, payslips, all under one site.

Cons

Even though all functionalities were covered by workday, sometimes due to mismatch of wordings (like the paygrade levels), companies would use external software or at times would have to explain the things on workday once more in person.

### "A good HR platform"

March 2, 2026

5.0

Pros

I like having everything in one place, from payroll and benefits to performance reviews. It's convenient to be able to write reviews about your co-workers on the platform as well.

Cons

The user interface can feel a bit rigid and 'corporate.' Sometimes, simple tasks like finding a specific tax document require clicking through too many sub-menus

### "Workday: Review"

March 19, 2025

5.0

My overall experience is great, I've really appreciate the ease of use and other employees can also attest to this. Great tool for our HR team

Pros

What I like most about Workday is how it holds everything our company needs to operate. Employee management through workday is excellent.

Cons

The thing I like least about Workday is the occasional system maintenance that occurs during my work hours preventing me to use the application.

### "Overall a great product!"

May 19, 2025

5.0

Managed it as an HR Manager and a Project Manager. Was able to build the platform to suit the needs of both functions.

Pros

The ease of managing tasks, the worker view is user friendly. Prompts for required fields is always helpful to ensure all information is input.

Cons

It has a few more input screens than other software. Could be revamped to make it a quicker tool for HR professionals.

### "Workday Review"

May 5, 2025

5.0

Pros

It's easy as a user to input time and submit timesheets for approval. Also easy to submit time off requests.

Cons

When you need to correct the time to a time office request, you have to delete the request entirely and resubmit vs. just updating the time.

### "Workday needs a (deep) refresh"

April 1, 2026

3.0

Pros

no much things, the interface is really out of current standards, needs a refresh and overall needs a revamp of the experience

Cons

the UX is terrible, the interface is really slow, showing empty sections (due to insufficient rights obviously, so why showing it at all, like access to peers' compensations ?!)

May 12, 2025

5.0

### "Overall, a Good One-Stop-Shop for Employees"

April 8, 2025

4.0

Overall, I use workday frequently and enjoy using it as a tool. I like that most of what I need to find is in one place.

Pros

It's easy to navigate to where I want to go (pay, time off, etc.)

Cons

Having to toggle between certain things has too many clicks. Like requesting time off, for example, I have to manually enter several inputs to get the output I want, and it never saves. Or task items/inbox items are confusing because I get two notifications for them sometimes, and I'm not 100% sure if I've completed the task at hand or not.

### "Simple intuitive user interface"

June 12, 2025

5.0

Overall very good. As I have stated I am just a user. From what I experienced, because it is so simple, it makes training others on it very easy.

Pros

As a user of workday, I like how simple the interface is. It is intuitive to new users, and makes navigating the site easy.

Cons

The way our IT department has it set up we cannot access the site off site. I do not think that is specific to the software, I think it is specific to my company.

### "Everything in one place "

March 29, 2026

4.0

Pros

All the documents are in one spot, employee logs in and sees everything that they need to complete and there is no back and forth with questions

Cons

For contract staff having to change/create a new password for them every time can be annoying for the employee. It is also a big learning curve trying to figure out the system as an employee

Que tiene fases de mantenimiento muy recurrentemente y aunque sea bastante sencilla requiere de una pequeña curva de aprendizaje

### "Workday review"

May 23, 2025

4.0

I did really like workday when I would use it on a computer but when I would use my phone it was harder to use.

Pros

Work day was easy to read and work around. It helped me a lot to communicate with team members. I couldn’t imagine using another app for my job.

Cons

I can’t really use it very well on a phone which i used it mostly on my phone. I think it’s a good app but it’s not great on iphones.

### "Always Evolving HR System"

November 7, 2024

5.0

I enjoy using Workday HCM as it's a one stop shop for our company's HR data. Moving to Workday was a big improvement from our previous HR system where we had an account per country, totalling to over 10 accounts. I would say there is a steep learning curve in the beginning as an Admin and even for employees. And the training and certificates are overpriced so I have had to learn how to configure/use Workday through other mediums.

Pros

It can be used globally. The user interface and usability is easy to understand (similar to Facebook's interface), the ability to customize, the different modules and features it supports. The tool is always evolving as the company has 2 releases every year.

Cons

It is created for the US by the US. It does not accommodate for international laws and compliance resulting in us having multiple tools to support international countries.
