Sentiment score
7.9
Workday is generally stable and reliable, with occasional minor issues like slowness or login disruptions, rated highly by users.
Infor CloudSuite is very stable, provided there is a good internet connection.
 

Room For Improvement

Infor CloudSuite requires IoT integration, simplified processes, improved reporting, customization, and better workflows for enhanced user experience.
Workday struggles with data integration, user interface inflexibility, and limited mobile utility, affecting user experience and international functionality.
In Germany, there aren't enough IT specialists for customization and software development, causing projects to take too long.
In Europe, it's difficult to find people who already know Infor, which was a problem during implementation.
While there is mass upload functionality where we can load shifts for all people or specific groups, we need to select multiple people and assign them to a schedule from the interface itself.
However, going by the demo, I think it is quite simple to use.
 

Setup Cost

Infor CloudSuite offers comprehensive features for enterprises, with pricing varying based on modules, user numbers, and location.
Workday's pricing is high, based on headcount and modules, offering value in reduced HR complexities and integration.
Infor CloudSuite is cheaper than SAP and the license is on a yearly basis.
 

Valuable Features

Infor CloudSuite provides robust manufacturing capabilities, cloud usability, ERP functions, and integration, supporting large enterprises in global operations.
Workday excels with its intuitive interface, powerful integrations, customizable functions, and strong security, enhancing HR efficiency and reducing costs.
We handle approximately 500 to 600 orders per day, and the product is excellent for extracting and implementing solutions to check various parameters like client credit status.
Infor CloudSuite offers a comprehensive solution with integrated business intelligence and artificial intelligence capabilities.
I have utilized the industry-specific functionalities of Infor CloudSuite, which have given me a better understanding of how the ERP system can work in regards to my sectors.
Comparing Workday to other products, I am taking a positive note about Workday and it is the first priority that I suggested compared to Oracle or other products.
The interface of Workday is superior.

Featured Reviews

Dietmar Müller - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides integrated solutions for international business operations
Infor CloudSuite offers a comprehensive solution with integrated business intelligence and artificial intelligence capabilities. It does not require hardware or extensive IT expertise, which are standard advantages for cloud solutions. Its integration capabilities with Microsoft features are notable. Additionally, it is a highly scalable and stable solution, useful for large enterprises engaged in international business. It is also easy to maintain compared to other ERP solutions.
Eslam Abo Elnaga - PeerSpot reviewer
Has improved HR process efficiency through intuitive workflows and responsive support
There is something that could be improved in Workday, specifically in the time tracking module. While I am not working on Workday now, I was a regional HRIS working for Egypt, Malta, India, and China. I mention these countries to relate to high population countries and companies. In our company, we use assigned work schedules for our teams. Because we work with the time tracking module, we need to assign shifts. In the manufacturing industry, we might need to change shifts every day or week. Manufacturing teams are huge, approximately 50 to 200 people in one team. If this team has one leader, the leader needs to assign a work schedule for each person individually. While there is mass upload functionality where we can load shifts for all people or specific groups, we need to select multiple people and assign them to a schedule from the interface itself. I have requested this functionality many times. When extracting business processes awaiting actions report, I can select different processes in one box, hit okay, and the report comes up. However, the same functionality does not work for work schedule assigning. If implemented, it would help many people in companies with high populations and big teams.
