Pros
For me Workday ranks among the best HR systems available worldwide. it helps me and my team improve HR and payroll compliance while significantly boosting our efficiency across everyday tasks and routine processes.

“User-friendly but missing lms integration”
Pros
From my experience Workday stands out because its interface is user friendly, it handles HR and financial functions thoroughly and being cloud-based makes managing payroll and HR tasks much simpler for our organization.
Cons
However I wish it integrated with our LMS. onboarding feels clunky right now because Workday doesn't connect with our learning systems.

“Long steps for simple hiring”
Pros
The org charts are handy and it's really simple for me to pull up organizational charts when I need them. Other than that, I don't find Workday particularly useful.
Cons
I find it tedious because there are far too many steps required to complete even basic tasks. The interface doesn't feel user-friendly and processing new hires becomes a real hassle. When I am acting as a hiring manager, creating requisitions is awkward and involves an excessive number of steps for a single task.

“Tailored reports save valuable time”
Pros
I find Workday to be an excellent, user-friendly HRIS. the standout thing for me is how I can tailor and automate reports to meet specific needs which saves me time.
Cons
Overall my experience is positive but I still struggle sometimes because creating reports can be pretty challenging for new users who lack any technical training.

“Cloud-based is resilient against major risks”
Pros
From my experience with data handling, I find Workday hard to beat. Its cloud-based capabilities make it significantly better. It feels so resilient that major risks such as natural disasters and ransomware attacks wouldn't stand much of a chance against Workday. I also appreciate how user-friendly it is and how smoothly it connects with other applications which adds to its overall strength.
Cons
I honestly don't find many downsides to it but being designed with large enterprises in mind means smaller companies may see it as somewhat costly.

“Clean interface with smooth workflow”
Pros
For me the interface is clean with a good UI, the workflow feels smooth, the organization view is effective and the search functionality works well.
Cons
I would like to see a built-in tax and TDS system added and it would be great if they could include more payroll tabs to expand functionality.

Pros

“Central resources need better search”
Pros
I appreciate that Workday keeps many everyday tools, files, handbooks and similar resources all together so I can access what I need for my daily tasks in a single location.
Cons
For me navigating Workday feels a bit buggy. I have had trouble finding specific documents or pages when I am not already sure where they live. It could really use a much better, more powerful search feature.

“Stable browser tool costs too much”
Pros
Overall I find it quite user-friendly. it runs in the browser and feels very stable. I also appreciate the regular updates, it integrates with our SSO and tech-savvy users manage it easily without too much trouble.
Cons
Honestly I find it really, really expensive so it's a poor fit for smaller teams. The customization options are limited and I occasionally hit performance problems. For non-technical users, the UI feels complicated.

“simplifies time off and expense filing”
Pros
It is really easy to request time off. Plus I can quickly see exactly how much leave I have and it also makes filing expense reports really easy and hassle-free.
Cons
I wish there was a way to report when something's missing. For instance, if I am trying to expense an item but the appropriate cost center isn't available, I'd like to be able to flag that directly to my organization so it can be added or fixed.

“Org chart handy but complex reporting”
Pros
I find the organizational structure chart and the quick people-search feature incredibly handy because it lets me pull up someone's peers, direct reports and managers without fuss. Having a clearly organised task list in the actions panel also comes in extremely useful, especially when I am juggling a large team and facing many competing priorities at once.
Cons
Sometimes I struggle to do simple things like checking time-off balances for my team as it ends up being way more complicated than it should be. The reporting tools seem powerful in theory but finding the right report and getting the results I want often takes too many clicks and jumping between screens.

“All HR functions are in one place”
Pros
As an employee, I appreciate how Workday brings all HR functions into a single place where I can check my salary history, view pay stubs, track PTO balances and requests, see the org chart and handle other company-related tasks.
Cons
I'd like Workday to provide more flexible, interactive ways to display information. For example, it would help if I could easily compare pay stubs across many months in a clear visual format or quickly see the combined total I have put into both my 401k and Roth 401k accounts.

“Precise timestamps with file categories”
Pros
What I appreciate is being able to see precise timestamps for every step the applicant goes through in the hiring process. I also find it handy that I can upload attachments and there are built-in categories for different kinds of files.
Cons
Honestly I cannot pinpoint anything I disliked as it handled tracking application progress fine. If anything, I would like better indexing or an easier way to search for a candidate's name since entries can appear duplicated multiple times.
