Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Workday, Oracle and others in Cloud HCM."I like the fact that the annual days are calculated automatically and that if annual leave is taken in the future, those days are put on hold. You know at every point how many days of annual leave are you left with and how many are on hold."
"We use this solution for our end to end HR needs from onboarding and hiring to learning."
"The scalability of BambooHR is good."
"The performance goals and personal features of every employee with the dashboard is most valuable."
"The solution that we used previously was very complex. As a result, without referring to the manuals and consulting an expert, it was difficult for a newly hired employee to navigate the platform. However, this is not the case with Darwinbox. It has a very intuitive user interface, and anyone can use it and implement it without having to use a guide or a walk through process. It's very simple."
"It's easy to set up."
"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."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the usability, learning, and compliance tools."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"Workday is highly intuitive from a customer experience perspective. It was effortless for us to understand what to do even though we didn't have any related training. It was easy to use without guidance."
"First time users, understanding accessibility and consolidated data is fairly easy. The solution improves productivity for users and reduces the need to switch between different tools."
"The payroll and benefits engine is the most valuable Workday solution in my opinion. It is also easy to access."
"It would be useful to have the possibility to assign a task to the different users within the software."
"In the BambooHR performance management annual evaluations we have some limits to the questions. We can only add four extra questions, and they already have three basic questions, this is not easy for us. We would like to have more flexibility with the questions."
"BambooHR could be improved by managing leave in a way that transfers remaining days at the end of the annual year to the following year."
"The color palettes could be changed to make the solution a little more attractive and easier to use."
"Like most software, it has a base version, the vanilla, out-of-the-box version, and customization is required to match it to the unique processes of each company. The Darwinbox team seems to be having difficulty with the customization process. They have to be a little more mature to customize it as per every company's need."
"The solution can be improved by speeding up the load time when pulling up information."
"This solution could be improved by providing user-level access to customization capabilities. Users currently rely on more technical teams to customize reports, for example."
"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."
"This solution could be made easier to use by continuing to release new improvements."
"The cost of Workday is certainly not inexpensive. It's very pricey."
"The implementation could have gone a little smoother."
"The user interface could be better. Everything else was fine."
"The navigation of Workday is good but could be better."
