Workday Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Tool Reviews

“Easy access to pay and leave”

Pros

On Workday HCM I can easily access HR-related details like my vacation balance, pay statements and tax paperwork whenever I need them.

Cons

When I first started using the platform it took me a while to get comfortable navigating Workday and generating PDFs for certain documents can also be slow at times.

“save us a lot of time”

Pros

One thing I really like about Workday is how easy it makes reviewing candidates applications which saves me time and keeps the process organized.

Cons

What I like least about it is that the platform can sometimes run a bit slowly during use and that occasional lag can be frustrating.

“reporting made easy”

Pros

One standout feature for me is how simple it is to review candidate applications.

Cons

The only part I don't fully like is that it can feel a bit slow at times.

“Single hub for professional development”

Pros

Personally I find Workday gives me a single hub for all my professional development and the tasks that are assigned to me as an employee.

Cons

It would be great if I received notifications through the app the same way I get them via email or Microsoft Teams.

“so great”

Pros

Acts like one central hub for my personal development and for keeping track of the tasks assigned to me as an employee.

Cons

It would be nice if updates and notifications came through more like email or Microsoft Teams, instead of relying on the app's flow alone.

“Has resources but navigation is hard”

Pros

It includes most of the information and resources I need.

Cons

Sometimes I struggle to navigate the system and find exactly what I am searching for.

“All-in-one hub for colleague details”

Pros

I am a big fan of Workday because it's essentially an all-in-one hub as I can pull up my own personal details and also look up information for colleagues. Whenever I need to confirm someone's job title or discover who their manager is, I can open the department's organizational chart and see it immediately.

Cons

At the moment I don't have any complaints or issues that come to mind.

“Additional functions benefit large organizations”

Pros

The additional functions and fields prove beneficial to our large organization

Cons

Not everything flows really ideally for our organization to use

“Brings together everything but tough start”

Pros

Workday really brings HR and finance together and after spending a little time poking around I got a decent sense of how things work there.

Cons

To be honest I struggled to get started with it as a beginner and I also noticed there isn't any easy way for me to make substantial custom changes.

“useful extra fields for orgs”

Pros

The extra functions and added fields have turned out to be really helpful for a large organization especially when you need more flexibility in how data is handled across teams.

Cons

Not every part of the workflow feels perfectly aligned with how the organization wants to use it so there are still a few areas that don't quite flow the way you'd expect.

“Good integrations but rough onboarding”

Pros

It's pretty useful how it brings HR and finance closer together. Getting a quick sense of what was happening in both areas didn't take too long and the connection between departments feels practical.

Cons

Using it at the start can be tough especially if you're new and still learning the ropes. Also, there's no clear option for making serious modifications once you need to adjust things more deeply.

“HR analytics makes decision-making easier”

Pros

The HR analytics and built-in reporting give me excellent visibility into our workforce which really makes decision-making much easier.

Cons

The high price can be a real barrier for mid-sized companies in many cases.

“strong hr analytics visibility”

Pros

The HR analytics and the built in reports give really solid visibility into headcount which makes it a lot easier to make decisions.

Cons

Cost is fairly high and can be a barrier for mid sized companies.

“Everything together with easy navigation”

Pros

Workday stands out because it brings everything together on one platform. Also I can find nearly every tool or piece of information I need in a single place. The interface is user-friendly too and I find it really easy to navigate after logging in.

Cons

I find logging into it more difficult than with other time-tracking systems I have used as it requires noticeably more steps and effort. If it supported Face ID sign-in, it would make access much quicker and solve a lot of this hassle.

“was pretty easy to set up”

Pros

It is pretty easy to connect the system to our physical time clocks which made the setup quick and painless.

Cons

For our team employees could still see features they never used and that visibility ended up confusing them during their daily work.

“Simple navigation for schedules deadlines”

Pros

It's really simple to navigate and I depend on it to stay organized with my work schedule and upcoming deadlines.

Cons

At the beginning I found it pretty challenging to get comfortable with but after spending time learning the features, I now use it every day and cannot imagine my routine without it.

“effortless scheduling”

Pros

Super simple to operate and it's been really helpful for keeping track of my work schedules and upcoming deadlines.

Cons

Getting the hang of it at the beginning takes a bit of time but after that initial learning curve, it quickly turns into something I rely on every single day.

“Perfect!”

Pros

Integration with our physical time clocks went smoothly and was simple to set up within our workflow.

Cons

Even after setup, unused features remained visible on the employee side which tends to confuse staff.

“Convenient app for daily workflow”

Pros

The app is really convenient and easy to use in my daily workflow.

Cons

I felt the app was primarily convenient for getting paid which was its main usefulness for me.

“convenient and worth it”

Pros

Using the app has been really convenient for me and it fits smoothly into my routine.

Cons

Felt like one of those convenient apps that you still need to pay for to really use it fully.
