Workday Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Tool Reviews

“onboarding made easy”

Pros

This tool makes employee onboarding and the recruiting workflow feel simple and quick. Tracking and managing employee time and attendance is also pretty simple in the system. It handles a lot of the manual, repetitive HR work through automation which saves time for the team. Also, you can generate employee payroll directly through Workday HCM.

Cons

Processing multiple HR tasks at the same time can feel a bit slow so performance drops when everything is running in parallel.

“Love all it offers”

Pros

Turned out to be an amazing, dependable human capital management solution. The built in features are simple to follow and understand which makes it easier to get things done without a ton of guesswork.

Cons

Nothing really comes to mind to criticize, there's nothing about it that I dislike. Overall, it's superb.

“5 stars!!!”

Pros

Automated compliance is a big win for me since it reduces my overall compliance expenses. The continuous learning loop also helps refine the AI algorithms over time so improvements keep coming instead of feeling like a one-and-done setup. It handles the complex stuff confidently which saves a lot of manual effort.

Cons

It's genuinely very helpful and heads above everything else I've seen. I haven't used any alternative closely enough to make a fair comparison but this one feels like the best fit for what I need.

“Two years still cannot navigate”

Pros

For me it's a SaaS tool that is well integrated into modern toolchains e.g Slack.

Cons

I have been using the tool for more than two years now and I still have a hard time locating what I need. Its layout and overall usability don't help me move through tasks efficiently so I often struggle to complete routine stuff. If it weren't for the shortcuts I painstakingly set up after discovering the handful of truly useful features, I'd be completely lost. Compared to other platforms it's noticeably clunkier. Take planning an absence. why must I click every single day individually? Letting me pick a range by choosing the start and end dates would be so much faster. There are a number of similar little friction points that, when added together, make Workday a frustrating experience to use.

“smooth job board integration”

Pros

Can be integrated with basically any job board so tracking the recruitment workflow is simple all the way through to onboarding.

Cons

At times, new hires may feel the interface is a bit too busy which makes it harder to interact with.

“Clear graphics”

Pros

Nice graphics and a personal-style menu. It's pretty basic but it still covers all the essentials I need.

Cons

Not the most adaptive setup sometimes it takes a bit of searching to find exactly what I'm looking for.

“can be better”

Pros

It's simple to use and the platform feels pretty complete, it's not just for annual evaluations but also helps you view compensation-related information.

Cons

The design isn't very modern and it could be more adaptive.

“simple pay management”

Pros

This pay management system is genuinely simple to use. save to say i would recommend it

Cons

Would be even better with additional pay monitoring tools and upgraded scheduling features.

“all scheduling in one place”

Pros

I'm able to access all my scheduling from a single, convenient location which makes planning a lot simpler day to day.

Cons

There have been a few connectivity hiccups here and there though they've never been severe or hard to work around.

“offer wide variety for HR tasks”

Pros

Workday offers a wide variety of features for managing human resources tasks.

Cons

Don't really have any major complaints about this app. there isn't anything I strongly dislike about it.

“clean desktop”

Pros

The design feels clean and simple and it's genuinely simple to locate what I need. Being able to handle tasks from both my desktop and my phone has been super useful especially when I'm traveling. I also appreciate having essentials like tracking time off, checking my pay stub and managing my team all in one place, it cuts down the back-and-forth and saves me time.

Cons

Occasionally the system runs a bit slowly. Some reports are harder to track down and interpret and that's mostly because I'm not very familiar with HR tools from a manager's perspective.

“Feels effortless”

Pros

This is the simplest payroll system I've used. It is priced competitively which makes it a solid fit especially when you're comparing options. I'm already planning my next projects using it.

Cons

A mid tier platform that covers the full set of features you'd expect to run a successful payroll? for this, i have no complaints!

“super simple to use”

Pros

It's extremely simple to use and I've been able to put it to use for a bunch of different things without any hassle.

Cons

Nothing negative comes to mind, seems flexible enough to handle just about anything.

“recommended from me”

Pros

I liked its unified platform because it pulls HR, payroll, talent management and financial management into one place. Having those functions connected made it much easier for information to move between teams, cut down on manual mistakes and gave us a single source of truth across the org.

Cons

Some modules don't offer much customization.

“so good”

Pros

Really handy for me because I can review my hours every day and if I need to make changes for my taxes or anything else, it's all right there when I need it.

Cons

One thing I don't enjoy is that my manager has to approve my hours before they go to HR. It worries me because if a manager doesn't end up working or shows up late on the day the timesheet needs to be submitted, the whole process could get delayed.

“experience was good”

Pros

This platform brings together a bunch of different companies for job applications and it keeps everything organized in one place so you don't have to juggle multiple websites.

Cons

No real downsides come to mind yet.

“user friendly navigation setup”

Pros

It's quite simple to use and the navigation options are simple to configure.

Cons

The notifications and messaging features are the weak spot. They lag frequently and don't always work reliably.

“sets the bar high”

Pros

Overall user friendliness really stands out, it feels well designed and it honestly sets the bar a bit higher than a lot of other tools I've tried.

Cons

Honestly there isn't much to complain about since the time it took to finish was so quick.

“love using it!”

Pros

I've only just started using it but it already feels like a solid platform. It supports a lot of integrations so the experience for employees comes across as pretty comprehensive. Besides the usual HR details people expect (salary, time off, etc.), my skills profile from the recruitment stage is connected to the company's skill-building tools, like courses.. and it also ties into the mentoring platform. A couple of features that have been especially helpful as a new starter are the admin assistance chat, plus the way it's all integrated alongside things like the org chart. Logging in is simple and there's an app as well.

Cons

Have got no major downsides to report at this stage.

“phone app is very user friendly”

Pros

Ease of use is a huge plus... having the app on my phone has been a really good experience, everything feels simple and quick to navigate.

Cons

Delegating tasks can feel a bit tricky at times since the process isn't as adaptive as a few of the other functions and features.
