Workday Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Tool Reviews

Pros

What I like most about Workday is its clean, user friendly interface and how easily it brings HR and finance together. I also value the powerful analytics and cloud-based access which have noticeably improved efficiency and made collaboration across our teams much smoother in managing the workforce.

Cons

I have noticed Workday can come with a fairly steep learning curve and there are limits to how much you can customize things, plus some setups for advanced features can get complicated. On top of that, a few people struggle with adapting to updates and there are occasional performance hiccups.

Pros

I have access to tools that help me take charge of my career and manage my development.

Cons

The interface could use some updates to make it feel more user-friendly for me.

Pros

I am a fan of how user-friendly this platform is and I find it easy to connect with other applications and services. Within Workday we rely on several modules, such as Expense Management where I can follow the full lifecycle of expense reports including every attachment and the audit trail. We also use the banking integrations so my team can match up all bank transactions against daily feeds that the bank uploads. I also like that every file or record can be exported or printed as a PDF for audits and I can always check the timestamp showing when a transaction was finalized.

Cons

Because Workday is a cloud-hosted service, I have to make a conscious effort to save drafts of items like manual journal entries and similar documents. if I forget to do that the platform won't retain my edits and I'll be forced to start over and recreate everything from scratch.

Pros

It is user friendly, easy to use and largely self-explanatory, supports multiple languages, feels customer-focused and is accessible everywhere and anywhere, etc.

Cons

From my experience the system's flexibility can be constrained in specific situations, leaving clients with little choice but to modify their local processes if they want to leverage the system's functionality.

Pros

The interface is very user friendly and simple to navigate and the way it connects with PayFactors works automatically and without hiccups. We have the sync scheduled weekly and PayFactors provided great support the one time we ran into a problem with that integration.

Cons

Overall there really isn't much I dislike about it although I do find that customizing it isn't very easy.

Pros

I have found that Workday includes all the essential features on its platform which really helps me manage HR operations efficiently.

Cons

For me getting around the product is a bit complicated as it's not always easy to navigate through the various sections.

Pros

Approving employee timesheets from a desktop is very easy. I also find it easy to enter my own hours and submit them.

Cons

My only issue is that you cannot view individual employee time details on a phone. It only shows the total hours they logged.

Pros

We used to juggle separate systems for hiring, vacation tracking, performance evaluations and more but now everything's housed in a single platform which really simplifies our processes. Compared to BambooHR which we previously relied on, this system feels much more user-friendly.

Cons

From my perspective the org chart isn't great for getting an overview as it's more useful if you search for a particular person's name to figure out which team they belong to. I'd really like to see a clearer, more zoomed-out chart option.

Pros

Workday is a leading cloud-based platform for HR and finance. As a regular user, I have found it to be reliable, easy to use and helpful in improving how our organization runs. The layout and controls feel logical and simple too making it easy for both experienced professionals and beginners. Plus the clear dashboards and easy navigation make daily use much more pleasant.

Cons

I do find that although it offers extensive customization making detailed tweaks to match particular company workflows can be tricky at times. I often need a proper grasp of the system and occasionally bring in Workday consultants for help. The cost model also feels fairly high for smaller firms. Even though the platform delivers strong value, tight budgets can make it hard for some organizations to justify the expense.

Pros

I like how wide-ranging the platform is from workforce planning through talent acquisition and ATS, analytics to talent management and Skills Cloud. It handles performance management, time tracking and L&D. For enterprise HR I have found Workday HCM to be a one-stop shop with strong customization

Cons

ownership costs are high for mid-market customers. Feature depth and variety add much complexity. The user interfaces seem quite archaic and resemble ERP software overall

Pros

Workday has been one of the best cloud-based employee management portals I have come across. Its platform is incredibly user-friendly and the interface looks fantastic. In my experience it's a full-featured human resources management system that lets me handle both employees personal details and their professional records. I personally access it at least three times each week.

Cons

I have been using it for the last three months and haven't run into any problems so far.

Pros

When managing my team, I appreciate the team recognition features and how easily I can pull reports to keep things organized.

Cons

I don't love the user experience as it's not a platform I am eager to spend a lot of time on and I really wish their customer support were better.

Pros

One thing I really like about Workday is that it bundles a lot of tools as everything from the company calendar and performance reviews to salary details and personal profile info. I can also check company announcements and read feedback from coworkers right there. The interface includes handy shortcuts that make moving around quicker. I usually open it a few times each month, maybe three times, to stay on top of things.

Cons

What frustrates me is that having so many features can make the app feel cluttered and it's not always obvious where to find things like pay slips or bank information. I end up clicking through several sections just to confirm I am in the right place. It requires patience and extra navigation to get to specific items.

Pros

What I really value is the way it lays out organizational details so I can easily tell who collaborates with whom and who reports to whom.

Cons

I find the notifications and to-do features unreliable. they often don't work the way I expect them to.

Pros

It is really easy to update leave and attendance records and I can also manage my career and personal info without any trouble.

Cons

So far I haven't run into any issues and everything has been running smoothly for me.

Pros

It is easy to set objectives and manage development and the pricing options are quite flexible. Plus I also really like the mobile app.

Cons

the development plan objective tools aren't very user friendly and I am not a fan of the suggested performance management feature.

Pros

I am really fond of Workday! The thing I like most is how easy it is to navigate. Also the interface seems so friendly so I use it all the time.

Cons

Up to now, I haven't encountered any problems with Workday. it consistently helps me keep accurate track of my working hours.

Pros

I can quickly look up my paystub and payment details whenever I need them.

Cons

There are times I wish the app translated things for my employer so it would display my work schedule and the exact hours I have worked.

Pros

From my experience Workday is built to let you accomplish almost anything you need, provided you understand the system and its possible configurations. I really like that Workday lets me examine the history of business processes and modify or augment those processes as needed. After many years working with ADP, I genuinely believe Workday is the best tool for HR.

Cons

I find the candidate recruitment workflow can be overly long and sometimes unnecessarily drawn out. While I enjoy the learning resources Workday provides, I wish they offered more hands-on configuration training so administrators and power users could get deeper, practical setup experience.

Pros

Having all the necessary information organized and stored in one centralized location is incredibly convenient to me.

Cons

I can't comprehend how software with such poor UX exists today. It feels like being stuck in 2010. Navigating is a disaster, and goal tracking is even worse than the other features.
