Workday Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Tool Reviews

“features are great”

Pros

Mobile app capabilities are a big plus for our team since it lets us work remotely without getting stuck in complicated steps. Employees can also submit requests for days off from home right through the app. It connects nicely with other tools... especially time tracking that makes the whole workflow more effective and organized. That kind of integration also helps us cut down on production costs.

Cons

No real problems have come up yet. Scheduling has been running smoothly and the setup has been trouble free for the team so far.

“User-friendly dashboards for everyone”

Pros

Workday interface is very user-friendly. Also the platform looks good and I can easily get around whether I am acting as an employee or manager. The dashboards and self-service tools let me handle day to day tasks without hassle.

Cons

In my experience Workday HCM feels like a high-end solution and I have noticed that expenses can balloon once you add extra modules, integrations or hire consultants.

“user friendly dashboards for teams”

Pros

The interface feels really approachable, clean, good-looking and simple to navigate for both employees and managers. The dashboards and self-service options handle most day to day tasks without turning everything into a hassle.

Cons

It comes across as a premium offering and pricing can climb when you add extra modules, need integrations or bring in consulting support.

“Everything in one place simple”

Pros

What I like about this tool is how simple it is and that everything is in one place so I do not have to switch between different apps to request time off or submit expenses.

Cons

I am not a fan of the interface. it feels somewhat old-fashioned and isn't very visually appealing but from my perspective it still does what I need it to do which is ultimately the important part.

“So convenient for everyone”

Pros

What I appreciate most is how simple the tool feels, plus the fact that everything is centralized. That means I don't have to bounce between different systems just to submit my PTO requests or expense reports.

Cons

UI does look a bit dated and it isn't the most visually polished option. Still, it functions well and handles the job it's meant for.

“Time-tracking reviews quick and hassle-free”

Pros

One thing I really like about Workday HCM is how smoothly the time-tracking review and editing process operates making adjustments quick and hassle-free.

Cons

So far not many complaints about the Workday HCM application overall although I ran into some trouble when setting up my account at first. fortunately, customer support stepped in and helped me resolve the issue quickly.

“excellent time tracking”

Pros

Best part is definitely the way time tracking views and edits flow, everything feels really efficient and well organized when you're reviewing and making changes.

Cons

I didn't run into many issues with it overall. The only real snag was during the initial account creation but support stepped in quickly and got me sorted.

“Single system replaces multiple tools”

Pros

It bundles everything into a single system such as HR, recruiting, talent management and a bunch of other features so I don't have to juggle different tools.

Cons

On the downside it's got a steep upfront price tag that I think makes it a poor fit for many small businesses, often pushing them to seek cheaper alternatives.

“all-in-one Tool for hr”

Pros

What I really like is that it's an all-in-one platform, covering HR, recruiting, talent management and more in a single system.

Cons

A big downside is the steep upfront cost. For smaller businesses, it may not be the best fit which often pushes them to look at other options.

“Readable interface stays navigable after changes”

Pros

The interface very readable and easy to navigate and even after making changes I could still locate links quickly without any confusion.

Cons

At times extra links were tucked away. I had to choose 'VIEW EXTRA APPs to access additional fields and while the dropdown menus cover everything, I sometimes struggle to work through them.

“simple interface”

Pros

The content was simple to read and simple to follow. When updates or changes happened, the links stayed easy to locate and nothing felt confusing or out of place.

Cons

Some additional links feel tucked away. To get to the other fields, I have to choose "VIEW EXTRA APPS," and the dropdown boxes, while they cover everything, can be a bit tricky to work through at times.

“Wide HR tools with clear tutorials”

Pros

One thing I really like about it is that it offers a wide range of tools covering nearly every HR need an organization might have and the language it uses is clear and easy to follow. I also appreciate that there are tutorials for steps that need extra guidance. Plus I value the ability to connect it with many other apps through integrations which makes it more flexible.

Cons

I have noticed the platform can be quite slow and sometimes becomes unresponsive which I find pretty frustrating when I am trying to get work done. In addition, the interface can feel somewhat complex and overwhelming on occasion, especially when I am navigating it for the first time or handling more advanced tasks.

“Real-time payroll keeps employees updated”

Pros

The real-time payroll information is the best as it does an excellent job of keeping employees up to date on their pay details.

Cons

When I need to dig into the system it can be pretty complicated but I can rely on Workday experts to help me navigate it.

“Simplified daily tasks for us”

Pros

Honestly I am a big fan of Workday HCM as it's simplified my daily tasks. I rely on it for all my job-related activities and it consistently delivers more than I expect.

Cons

I'd like to see stronger AI integration. It would be great if more AI features were incorporated into the platform because I feel that smarter tech could significantly enhance nearly every aspect of it.

“Mobile app simplifies expense reporting”

Pros

Workday is good and user-friendly especially the mobile app. Plus it makes filing expense reports and checking paychecks simple and always within reach.

Cons

What frustrates me most is the Most Used Apps section on the home screen as it just doesn't make sense. I use the mobile app all the time for things like expense reports and checking my pay but those never show up in my top three and I cannot change what appears there. Instead, the app always shows Time Tracking, Absence and Org Chart none of which I have ever needed. It would be much more useful if that section actually reflected how I use the app so shortcuts to Expense Reports and Pay were right there. Right now, it feels like a missed opportunity for real personalization and smoother workflow.

“User-friendly even for non-tech users”

Pros

Using Workday I have found it to be quite user-friendly. Navigating around is pretty easy too, even if you're not particularly tech-savvy or confident with new software.

Cons

I honestly didn't encounter many issues using Workday. Whenever I wasn't sure what step to take at first, I could quickly find what I needed without much trouble.

“Fast, simple with desktop mobile apps”

Pros

It is fast, simple to manage and very user-friendly. Plus having both a desktop and mobile app is a big plus and it is just as easy for managers as it is for staff.

Cons

No issues to report. it delivers on its promises and is easy to use. I cannot think of anything I'd want to change.

“Well-organized with simplified sign-ins”

Pros

The system is well-organized and very efficient across each role I have held. I especially appreciate how it simplified signing into the site every time.

Cons

For my purposes there wasn't anything I disliked about using the product. I mainly used it for work-related tasks and could reliably retrieve all of my paystubs.

“Efficient time tracking with benefits view”

Pros

I am really impressed by how efficient and well-organized the system is. Also it is easy to locate the clock-in/clock-out control and I appreciate being able to view my benefits without having to navigate away from the same page.

Cons

Honestly I don't have any major complaints about Workday HCM as it has been fulfilling my needs so far.

“All HR tools in one location”

Pros

What I appreciate most about Workday HCM is that it brings together all the HR and work tools I use most often into a single location which makes managing tasks much easier.

Cons

No complaints about Workday HCM. before, my team and I were juggling around eight different systems for HR and work-related tasks but now everything is centralized in one place and my daily routine is so much simpler and less stressful.
