“Centralized details but hide leave balances”
Pros
For my needs, all of our employees details are available in a single, centralized place.
Cons
I sometimes struggle to submit an absence request in Workday because it doesn't display my leave balances clearly which makes the process confusing. I wish it showed remaining days more transparently. Also I feel there should be many more subcategories for leave types to better capture specific absence reasons, as the current options are too limited and make accurate reporting harder.

“Easy navigation needs better attachments”
Pros
The software's navigation is really easy and the interface is very user-friendly. Plus Workday serves as a centralized, one-stop platform handling everything from the underlying database to full workforce management such as recruiting, talent, learning, benefits and much more.
Cons
Attaching files gets frustrating since I cannot view them holistically within the interface means I have to download attachments into an Excel workbook to see everything properly.

“User-friendly for HR and employees”
Pros
What I like most about Workday is how user-friendly and simple it is to use. Whether it's our HR team or me as an employee, I can easily navigate the system and manage everyone's details and files without confusion.
Cons
sometimes it feels overly detailed. There are so many screens and choices a user can access that it ends up feeling scattered. so I'd prefer a more consolidated layout and I also wish it offered more customization.

“User-friendly but updates feel difficult”
Pros
the interface is user friendly and easy to explore on my own.
Cons
When I try to make a change, I often have to navigate across multiple tabs to make sure it's updated everywhere which feels difficult. So the way different sections are linked could definitely be improved.

“great interfaces and offers mobile access”
Pros
As someone using a cloud-based HR and finance platform, I appreciate how it delivers streamlined, user friendly interfaces, customizable workflows, strong reporting and analytics and mobile access. I find its ease of use, advanced capabilities and ability to scale make it a go-to option for companies of various sizes.
Cons
I have noticed that Workday's implementation and integration can sometimes be lengthy and complicated. In my experience the complex reporting can also lead to performance problems. I wish they would improve report performance optimization to make things run smoother.

“Easy to use with strong reporting”
Pros
From my experience Workday offers several positives in a nutshell as it's easy to use, cloud-hosted for access anywhere, links well with other HR systems, provides strong reporting features and receives ongoing updates and improvements
Cons
The main drawback is cost as it is fairly pricey so it makes most sense for large organizations. I also find it somewhat complex at times and getting comfortable with the navigation and features requires a fair amount of learning

“Great balance, better than competitors”
Pros
I have found Workday strikes a great balance between what employers require and what job seekers need and in my opinion it's significantly better than most competitors out there. I am hopeful it remains free as it is today.
Cons
One issue I have is that it doesn't give ongoing updates or reminders about application status to either the hiring team or to me as the applicant. it would be fantastic if they could add that functionality.

Pros
It is user friendly and easy to navigate and operate. Because multiple agencies use it, I am also fond of the range of services it offers to their clients and end users.

“Cloud-based but customization is hard”
Pros
In my experience Workday brings a lot of functionality and advantages that explain why so many people speak well of it. I find the cloud-based setup particularly helpful because my team and I can log in from virtually anywhere with an internet connection which makes it far more convenient and flexible when people are working from different offices or remotely. I also rely on the real-time data it provides that immediate visibility is critical when I need to make quick, informed choices. Another plus for me is the wide range of pre-built integrations. They've made it easier to connect it with the other applications we use without reinventing the wheel. On top of that, the interface comes across as clean and fairly easy to navigate and overall it feels designed to give users a great experience rather than a cluttered one.
Cons
I have noticed a few common issues. Such as setup can be long and complicated and customizing it for specific needs isn't always easy which can be frustrating. Sometimes the interface feels confusing and not as user-friendly as expected making it hard to find what I need. Reporting can also be limited as it is tricky to pull certain reports or format them the way I want. Finally, integrating it with other systems can be challenging and does not always feel smooth, requiring extra work to fix.

“decent but navigation is confusing”
Pros
All aspects, from recruiting progress to ongoing employee development and everything in between, are consolidated in one place. I enjoy being able to view payroll, check an employee's tenure and quickly find what I need.
Cons
I find navigation can be confusing at times and some chart generation isn't always clear. Working with charts and the filters Workday provides has been a definite learning curve for me.

“Custom fields with tailored reports”
Pros
I really appreciate that the system lets me build a wide range of custom fields and I can generate plenty of tailored reports to suit our company's needs whenever necessary.
Cons
Frankly, it's frustrating that even though Adaptive Planning is part of the Workday family, I still have to manually transfer and reconcile personnel data from Workday into the financial planning tool. I'd really prefer if Workday provided continuous syncing so the personnel sheets in Adaptive Planning stayed up to date automatically at all times.
