Featured Reviews

Vicki Sham - PeerSpot reviewer
Recruiter at TransVolving
Easy to use, helps place candidates fast, and provides instant notifications
It helped me to place candidates much easier and faster. For example: 1. The job is much more thoroughly presented with a job description, and everything a recruiter needs to know is already well presented when you pick up the job. I love the audio briefing function. It's a record from the hiring team, so it saves time and effort for me to schedule a time with the client to brief the job. Also, I assume it saved a lot of time for hiring companies to schedule with different recruiters to do the job briefing repeatedly. 2. The interview request can be made automatically on the platform instead of back and forth through email. 3. With instant communication tools, the hiring team is more engaging.

Automation has transformed hire to retire processes and delivers powerful HR analytics
In Workday Human Capital Management, I feel that the security part needs to be improved. Workday gives complete control to the implementers regarding security and who is going to see what data. There are sometimes loopholes that are not identified unless fully tested. If Workday had a security alert system, even a small alert would help the security architect secure all information better, especially sensitive data such as payroll. Additionally, customization is another area of improvement, as Workday provides a default blue and yellow theme, which may not align with a company's branding. If Workday provided the option to customize themes based on a company's preferences, it would enhance the user experience.

Pros

"The job is much more thoroughly presented with a job description, and everything a recruiter needs to know is already well presented when you pick up the job."
"It helps the users to enroll for the benefits automatically and update their life events without the involvement of HR individuals or back-office staff. It enables a person to take action on their own. It reduces the administrative burden on HR and puts the ownership on the person that is going through the life event, whether it is having a child, taking a leave of absence, or something else. There are easy ways to integrate Workday with your common benefits. At least in the USA, it can be integrated with common benefits providers such as Fidelity, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, etc. It has got a connector that is able to connect with the vendor or the third party to which you are trying to send the eligibility file. It basically allows us to automate or set up the tool, and the integration with the provider is a lot quicker than competing tools. When it comes to reporting on just eligibility and SLSA, it is a lot more user-intuitive. Depending on the purpose of what you are doing, you can grant security rights or roles, for example, you can control whether someone is a benefits administrator doing an independent audit. Workday makes it very easy to do that. It significantly simplifies the reporting process."
"Workday is a secure product."
"We like the fact that this solution is very user-friendly, with a straightforward user interface."
"The software is easy to learn and use. When compared to SAP HR and SAP HCM, the tool is easy to access and understand. We have a hierarchy and structural connectivity in Workday. There is a certification for the solution and when we do it, we become the certified partners of the company"
"The reports I can download with compensation details come in a very organized manner, and I can record any future payments through the software, such as deferred cash bonuses that need to be paid one year later."
"The reporting feature is quite easy for a layman to use, and the look and feel of the application is good. Its security is robust. You will never find a use case that cannot be covered."
"The platform itself is very robust and I generally like the reporting and analytics capability."
"I would recommend the solution to others, owing to its stability."
 

Cons

"It would be great to have a mobile version in the future."
"Workday is an expensive solution."
"Reporting system should be improved. It is quite static based on historical data."
"The user interface could be modernized somehow."
"This solution could be made easier to use by continuing to release new improvements."
"They don't have worker payroll in the product. We have to solve our payroll. I hope one day they will be able to have their own localized standard payrolls for all countries."
"In a future release we could like to have access to asset, supply and treasury management functionalities."
"It would be good if the solution provided more extensive training sessions."
"In Workday Human Capital Management, I feel that the security part needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It's very, very expensive."
"The pricing is good from an HR perspective, although management gets upset after spending $500,000 a year, every year."
"Workday is moderately priced - I'd rate its pricing three out of five."
"I would rate the solution’s pricing a six out of ten."
"The solution’s pricing is better than SAP SuccessFactors."
"You have the license fee per module, and then you have a kind of annual training fee, which is a kind of add-on. I wouldn't say it is exhaustive; it is minor. Licensing is pretty transparent for most of the part."
"It is on a yearly basis."
"Its price is pretty high. It is more expensive than what is offered by other competitors in the market."
