Creates user defined screens, which are then reportable
Flexibility in terms of customisation does come at the expense of ease of use. It is not the easiest system to manage from a system administrator point of view. Whilst obviously not unmanageable, you will need to develop expertise in teams to manage the back end of the system internally within the organisation.

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"MyView is easy to configure, and Auto Enrolment is excellent as you can automate letters and templates."
"The ability to create user defined screens, which are then reportable, allows us to capture specialised information that would not necessarily be considered core HR data for most organisations, and as a university, the ability to produce our HESA return using the dedicated module is invaluable."
"I would recommend ResourceLink and it is a highly customisable solution to any organisation, but they would need to employ a System Analyst to fully implement the system due to the size and complexities."
"The scalability is amazing."
"It is quite user-friendly, and we can store all the employee data information on it."
"The solution has allowed leaders to self-serve, and we have fewer systems, less manual data entry, and less processing."
"Since adopting Workday, we have reduced HR administrative processing time by 45%."
"The solution is stable."
"I would recommend the solution to others, owing to its stability."
"Everything is in Workday as far as personnel is concerned."
"Overall, this solution provides a good user experience and is very easy to use."
 

Cons

"Leave Management needs to be significantly enhanced and ACs need to be trained fully on the product."
"Their product is not overly intuitive when setting up new processes, but MyView is very easy to use."
"Customer service is questionable at best recently; we have experienced issues with patches and installation of additional modules, which has caused delays on some projects and meant senior managers of the school have had to be involved in escalating issues."
"The expenses and reimbursements module could be improved. Creating expense reports is time consuming and inefficient compared to other expense solutions."
"Workday is an expensive solution."
"It would be good if the solution provided more extensive training sessions."
"Workday could give us industry-specific or vertical-specific solutions."
"The dashboard is fine, but the dashboarding and other aspects could be improved."
"The product must include payroll features."
"They can work on getting the clients to work on their support model."
"The solution can be improved by speeding up the load time when pulling up information."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Workday is an expensive solution."
"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."
"The solution is flexible in terms of pricing."
"It's very, very expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is better than SAP SuccessFactors."
"It has an annual subscription rate, but I'm not sure how it will work."
"The pricing is good from an HR perspective, although management gets upset after spending $500,000 a year, every year."
"I would rate the solution’s pricing a six out of ten."
