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.

A cloud-oriented HRMS that needs to be more flexible and improve offline support
We use ZingHR as a human resource management system. It helps us manage recruitment, generate offer letters, and maintain employee database and attendance.  The solution is a cloud HRMS, which makes it a self-sufficient model. You can do a lot of things without taking anybody's help.  ZingHR is…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is a complete solution for security."
"It's intuitive, a very usable tool and it's easy to find the data you're looking for."
"Workday is a holistic HR solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the usability, learning, and compliance tools."
"The solution has good accessibility; it's easy to use and not very confusing."
"It was more efficient for the agents for their performance reviews, but when it came to HR and the recruitment team, it sometimes worked, and sometimes, it didn't work."
"Workday is easy to use. Timesheet and resource management are also easy."
"It is a one-stop solution for everything. You can look for information about other employees or you can track your information. There is a directory, so you can search for other employees. You can also see and track your personal details and salary details on the employee profile page."
"The solution is a cloud HRMS, which makes it a self-sufficient model. You can do a lot of things without taking anybody's help."
"The most valuable feature of ZingHR is the data bulk uploading and downloading."
 

Cons

"Errors are not very clear in some cases. I've been experiencing some issues within the application that the error messages or what I needed to do were not very easily clear to me."
"It's possible that the way things are integrated could be improved but if you've used SAP then Workday is actually pretty good."
"My only suggestion might be to include a brief description of any new fields we introduce, making it easier for people to use them. Perhaps this is something they can consider implementing."
"The user interface can be enhanced."
"It does not integrate with some of the career management softwares, like LinkedIn."
"It would be good if the solution provided more extensive training sessions."
"There is a lot of complexity in the configuration of this solution."
"The solution has some features missing when you put them in the test studio or Confluence Studio. I would like the tool’s coding to be easier to understand and automated. Most of the coding these days is automated. Any query given can pull the answer directly which can make the solution easier to understand."
"ZingHR is not flexible and needs to improve offline support."
"ZingHR could improve by giving administration users from the front end the ability to make corrections. I am having to do the bulk corrections from an Excel upload from the system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"With a bigger budget, I would recommend SAP."
"Each module comes with an additional cost. It operates on a mid-price model. So, there is an additional payment for each module needed. The solution might be costlier for smaller companies, making it more suitable for mid to large-sized enterprises."
"Workday is an expensive solution."
"I rate the product’s pricing a ten out of ten."
"It has an annual subscription rate, but I'm not sure how it will work."
"The solution’s pricing is better than SAP SuccessFactors."
"The solution is flexible in terms of pricing."
"It is on a yearly basis."
"ZingHR is not expensive."
"ZingHR is a less expensive solution than others, such as SAP SuccessFactors."
