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's a fully consolidated system. All the transactions and configuration are co-located in one fully in-memory system, so there is no need to go to different data sources (multiple DBs) to pull data; it’s all in one place."
"There is a lot of scope for customization with this solution"
"According to me, the most valuable feature is autonomy of business processes and the security configuration within the tenant, specifically the configuration. The solution is highly stable. It’s designed to handle most tasks automatically. I rate it a nine out of ten. The solution is highly scalable. I rate it an eight out of ten. This solution consistently supports its customers through its implementation partners or sales support. The setup is designed to be user-friendly and straightforward. Workday HCM is user-friendly and easier to implement within the organization"
"Since adopting Workday, we have reduced HR administrative processing time by 45%."
"The most helpful Workday features for our HR processes were in HCM, particularly in areas like talent, compensation, benefits, and learning."
"The most valuable feature of Workday is the ease of navigation to browse the application. The solution can hold information about the company and people with accounts can be discovered by others in the whole company."
"The reporting capability is perfectly adequate in 90% of cases, given the requisite training."
"Provides flexibility to integrate with the product. It has several tools, out-of-the-box, for integrations. It delivers pre-built interfaces for specific vendors, pre-built generic integrations to extract or push data into Workday through configuration."
 

Cons

"It would be great to have a mobile version in the future."
"There is a lot of complexity in the configuration of this solution."
"There is so much information floating around Workday that it becomes overwhelming to digest all of it."
"We have had issues with respect to incidents."
"The expenses and reimbursements module could be improved. Creating expense reports is time consuming and inefficient compared to other expense solutions."
"Workday does have a community site where people can go on and off for suggestions. They call them Brainstorms, and you can vote them up. That is something that they do well, but oftentimes, they seem to be racing to deliver something based on what a competitor is delivering. For example, if they hear SAP has this new functionality and learning that's going to be coming out, they prioritize there, which makes sense, but unfortunately, some of these Brainstorms may get neglected where the product might not be improved as quickly or as needed for the customers. You might be waiting for a year or two to get a feature that you'd like released. They should pay more attention to customer feedback and ensure that customer feedback is an essential part of their product roadmap."
"It would be good if the solution provided more extensive training sessions."
"The ability to drive more analytics on a customizable level would be helpful."
"Workday would be improved with more API connectors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I rate the product’s pricing a ten out of ten."
"By and large, Workday is expensive. It is based on the headcount. I'd probably rate it a three or four out of five in terms of pricing. It'd be like buying a Mercedes or a high-end car. It's expensive, but there's a specific value that you're getting with additional features and things of that nature. Using that metaphor, Workday probably tends to be more of a luxury. There are others like ADP that can do your payroll, your time off, and other things, but they don't do it as well."
"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."
"With a bigger budget, I would recommend SAP."
"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."
"Workday is an expensive solution."
