Workday Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Tool Reviews

“a lot of features with excellent support”

Pros

I like the wide range of features. Also it is easy to pick up and I can always reach customer support. Overall I consider it an excellent cloud-based solution.

Cons

That said I don't see many real downsides. I do think the cloud platform requires continuous updates since new challenges keep appearing for example the integration and use of AI and machine learning.

“Slow and visually unappealing platform”

Pros

Honestly I am not finding it especially remarkable. It helps organise time off and other things.

Cons

I don't find it very fast or visually appealing as a platform.

“Simplifies HR and financial tasks”

Pros

Workday makes handling HR and financial tasks simple and highly efficient.

Cons

At times it can be a little sluggish and I did find it somewhat tricky to get the hang of at first though that's not the case anymore.

“Great applicant tracking with integrations”

Pros

For me it's great at tracking applicants and it's very user-friendly. plus there are plenty of integrations available.

Cons

Occasionally I have run into server problems where pages take ages to load which slows my work down.

“Real-time data with community support”

Pros

It has a user-friendly interface and a wide range of HR features. Plus the real-time data analytics really help me make decisions and integration is simple. I also find it easy to get help from the Workday community.

Cons

Implementation can be very challenging and requires a lot of training before I can work effectively. The reporting tool feels inflexible and I noticed there's no compiler or query-testing utility bundled with HCM.

“Interface is incredibly user-friendly”

Pros

I really like Workday HCM's interface and how user-friendly it is.

Cons

Unfortunately I cannot view an employee's full file in a single place which makes managing their records more difficult.

“dashboard navigation feels organized”

Pros

Navigation and dashboard really work well together especially how it pulls everything into a clear system. Once you get in, the integration of the many menus feels smooth and organized instead of scattered.

Cons

Font sizes could be a bit more readable and the colour scheme isn't as comfortable to look at for long stretches. Also, the image display quality could be sharper.

“shortcuts save time”

Pros

Feels really simple to use and the whole interface is neatly sectioned. Moving around is simple and the built in shortcuts make it quick to jump to what you need.

Cons

It could be faster overall and offer more flexibility for customization.

“transparent pricing”

Pros

Biggest strength is how it helps optimize financial resources and map out plans for the future. The support feels genuinely unmatched, there's real personalization that covers the needs of the whole business. Pricing also stays predictable with no hidden surprises and it comes across as fully transparent. Also, the platform is simple and payroll processing is noticeably easier than before.

Cons

The editing flow could use work. Once something is saved, it can be pretty hard to jump back and update the existing information.

“Strong integrations across HR finance”

Pros

Workday HCM excels due to its user friendly interface and strong integrations across HR and Finance functions.

Cons

I have noticed the tenants can be somewhat sluggish because they contain a very large volume of data which impacts responsiveness.

“Smooth connections with third-party apps”

Pros

I really like how smoothly it connects to our ERP, CRM and various third-party apps so data moves seamlessly between systems. For organizations of all sizes whether I am running a small business or working in a large enterprise it fits the needs well and scales appropriately.

Cons

I think it's overpriced for smaller firms especially once you include the costs for implementation and customization.

“works smoothly”

Pros

Feels pretty simple to navigate once you get the hang of it.

Cons

At the beginning, it takes a few extra steps to locate benefit summaries for your benefits. After you learn the quickest path though, it's noticeably easier than most other systems I've used before.

“great integrations”

Pros

It's simple to enter information and I really appreciate the way it connects to Outlook.

Cons

Im still unsure about its full range of features since I haven't used many of them yet.

“friendly tool”

Pros

A real game-changer. The interface is super simple so I can jump between tasks quickly and keep tabs on consultant assignments without getting lost. I'm not wasting time hunting for missing details anymore either... everything is right there when I need it which has cut down a lot of the stress from my day to day workload.

Cons

Wish more of the companies I support actually adopted it, most of them aren't using it so I'm limited in where I can use it effectively.

“so good”

Pros

I really appreciate how login gives me access to everything I need. Trainings, performance, time off, salary details and career development are all right there (plus other useful sections). It makes my it much simpler since I can sign in and handle what I need from a single place. If I need to request time off, check notification details or see how much I'm making through payroll, I can do it without hunting around in different systems.

Cons

Taking off notifications isn't as simple as it should be.

“Workday for efficient HR data management”

Pros

Workday truly assisted me in structuring our HR data and maintaining its accuracy. It's an excellent resource for organizing employee information company-wide.

Cons

I think the customer support system could be improved to better address any issues when they arise.

“Simple clock in and corrections”

Pros

The software really makes it simple to clock in and out and I can easily fix any entries when they need correcting.

Cons

Occasionally it freezes or crashes on me and it tends to log me out automatically far too fast which is really frustrating.

“has so much potential”

Pros

The setup process feels both user friendly and flexible and it was simple to tailor it to our needs. Also, the pricing came out as pretty cost-effective for what we're getting.

Cons

Getting everything running at the start took a fair amount of troubleshooting. Our reporting requirements were complex and varied so the initial configuration required more back-and-forth than expected.

“Easy view of team structures”

Pros

For me the organizational view makes it easy to look at how other teams are structured and understand their setups.

Cons

I have been using this for the past year and personally I haven't run into any problems or complaints.

“my review...”

Pros

Has been a dependable setup for employee onboarding and it also supports the recruiting workflow. It helps keep employees more engaged and it's solid for monitoring and managing the workforce.

Cons

Running multiple HR tasks at the same time can make it feel slow.
