Featured Reviews

Centralized leave and payroll management has saved time and simplifies approvals for our teams
HiBob has positively impacted my organization by making it very easy to track employee leaves and employee time off. Managing all of that in one system, having it all in one place, has really saved a lot of time for HR teams and management teams where approval does not need to go through a series of channels. It is all there in one platform and easily trackable. The quickest outcome I can share since using HiBob is that when we need leave approved, it is much easier. It is quite quick to really assess and review whether it is something that can be approved, and it is just a matter of a few clicks. This is the easiest experience I have ever had.

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

"Everything works great, and I am quite happy with it."
"HiBob integrates with various tools, such as Slack, Jira, and Google Calendar."
"The solution was very good at reconfiguration and customization of their software. It helped us to meet federal regulations."
"I'm happy with the features Workday offers. But in particular, Core HCM is the best."
"It is quite user-friendly, and we can store all the employee data information on it."
"According to me, the most valuable feature is autonomy of business processes and the security configuration within the tenant, specifically the configuration. The solution is highly stable. It’s designed to handle most tasks automatically. I rate it a nine out of ten. The solution is highly scalable. I rate it an eight out of ten. This solution consistently supports its customers through its implementation partners or sales support. The setup is designed to be user-friendly and straightforward. Workday HCM is user-friendly and easier to implement within the organization"
"Workday is a holistic HR solution."
"The business process framework is excellent."
"The most valuable feature of Workday is the ease of use which is overall user-friendly."
"There is a lot of scope for customization with this solution"
 

Cons

"HiBob isn't as user-friendly for managing contractors, part-time employees, or consultants."
"The implementation time should be addressed, as it is too slow. Also, the solution should be more user-friendly."
"There is so much information floating around Workday that it becomes overwhelming to digest all of it."
"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."
"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."
"It is good that much of the development is based on community input but often that can lead to details being ignored and small, nagging issues are ignored."
"They don't offer any backend database access. This is one limitation that I found in this product. Workday hasn't opened up about what kind of database they are into, which can make it easy for the technical team to emulate issues. It would be good if they can offer backend access to the technical team. It would be helpful if they can also provide a Troubleshooting Guide that we can use to troubleshoot issues. When we have an issue, there are very limited resources to refer to."
"The price could be lower."
"For time management, it does not have a calendar generator. For example, if you want to have a shift calendar for an entire year, you need to push the entire year's calendar into the system instead of being able to generate it using a time management pattern."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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 moderately priced - I'd rate its pricing three out of five."
"It is on a yearly basis."
"It has an annual subscription rate, but I'm not sure how it will work."
"I would rate the solution’s pricing a six out of ten."
"The solution’s pricing is better than SAP SuccessFactors."
"I need to pay for a license. It is expensive."
"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."
