Kronos Workforce Central Software [EOL] vs Workday comparison

"We use Workday for all our employee-related information. It is a central hub where we can access pay slips, tax-related information, tax automation, and tax rules. Additionally, it manages employee hiring processes and other HR functions. It's a one-stop solution where employees can find everything about their profile, work experience, and associated technologies."

"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."

"There is a lot of scope for customization with this solution"

"Between risk reduction, audit reduction and knowing that in many ways we can stop thinking about HR as an issue to solve, we have seen great value."

"In the manufacturing industry, we might need to change shifts every day or week. Manufacturing teams are huge, approximately 50 to 200 people in one team. If this team has one leader, the leader needs to assign a work schedule for each person individually."

"Reporting systems should be improved. If you want to report it on paper, if you want something more BI oriented, more high level predictive or more data-driven, it should be improved."

"The solution can be improved by speeding up the load time when pulling up information."

"The product must include payroll features."

"I'm not sure they have added this feature yet, but there should be a cellphone version, so we do not need to do it on a laptop. I'd like to log in on a cellphone and have the same features. I'm not sure if that is already available or if it's on the roadmap, but that would be a great feature."

"There is a lot of complexity in the configuration of this solution."

"The user interface could be better. Everything else was fine."

"There could be a web-based application for making payments to the employees."

"The price is expensive."

"I rate the product’s pricing a ten out of ten."

"The pricing is good from an HR perspective, although management gets upset after spending $500,000 a year, every year."

"I need to pay for a license. It is expensive."

"The solution is flexible in terms of pricing."

"Its price is pretty high. It is more expensive than what is offered by other competitors in the market."

"I would rate the solution’s pricing a six 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."

"It is on a yearly basis."
