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."
"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 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."
"The product is useful for storing employee records."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of reporting."
"There is a lot of scope for customization with this solution"
"The solution is easy to use and provides great flexibility and security."
"Since adopting Workday, we have reduced HR administrative processing time by 45%."
"There is a lot to like about it. I really enjoy the business process framework. It's something that's really seamless. It allows you to have people within the flow. They get assigned a task to complete something to approve, etc. That's a really good piece of functionality that Workday offers. Their out-of-the-box reporting framework is also really powerful in terms of what it provides. These would be two things that I would highlight."
"With Workday being a cloud application and SaaS model, the upgrade process is no more a nightmare; it gets updated overnight."
"It is fairly easy to set up"
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The implementation could have gone a little smoother."
"The solution can be improved by speeding up the load time when pulling up information."
"The dashboard is fine, but the dashboarding and other aspects could be improved."
"There is so much information floating around Workday that it becomes overwhelming to digest all of it."
"They could improve the product areas such as enhancing the interview scheduling module to support more flexible online assessments within the platform."
"The compensation module is not dynamic enough or flexible enough to accommodate the complexities in our salary structure."
"It has missing functionalities. Specific countries, like Germany, didn't have the option to do payroll. Now we need to look for another product for HR."
"There could be a web-based application for making payments to the employees."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It's very, very expensive."
"Workday is an expensive solution."
"Workday is moderately priced - I'd rate its pricing three out of five."
"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 pricing for this solution is fairly high. It is not affordable for small and mid-sized companies."
"I would rate the solution’s pricing a six out of ten."
"The solution is flexible in terms of pricing."
"It is on a yearly basis."
