Improved transparency in sales processes but could use more flexibility in customization
In terms of Supply Chain Management support, we're still exploring its capabilities since we're relatively new to using ERP systems As for its impact on manufacturing efficiency, we're still in the development stage, but we expect it to improve our factory operations, especially with features…

Worked well for the agents for performance reviews but not for the HR and recruitment teams
When I used to work on Workday, some of the info wasn't accurate, and I had to double-check via Sage People. The company that bought us wanted to use their own product. Their product was Workday, and our product was Sage People. They told us that Workday is like Sage People, but something didn't…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is particularly effective for ERP. The automation of emails is a valuable feature for me. The solution is stable. The solution is scalable. Infor CloudSuite Industrial is better for its development aspect. It allows us to customize and implement changes more efficiently. The initial setup was straightforward. I recommend the solution."
"Infor's environment—ION and Infor OS—is better than SAP's. The load time is shorter and Infor performs much better than SAP."
"The customization capabilities of CloudSuite Industrial are also there."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"We did some research and chose CloudSuite because it has the flexibility to cover a range of areas. And there were many other factors like traceability, for example, which is crucial for food production."
"The product's most valuable feature is production planning. It is one of the core features."
"It is a complete wave management system to increase processing efficiency."
"It is a scalable solution."
"We have fewer systems, less manual data entry, and less processing."
"The reporting feature is quite easy for a layman to use, and the look and feel of the application is good. Its security is robust. You will never find a use case that cannot be covered."
"We use Workday for all our employee-related information. It is a central hub where we can access pay slips, tax-related information, tax automation, and tax rules. Additionally, it manages employee hiring processes and other HR functions. It's a one-stop solution where employees can find everything about their profile, work experience, and associated technologies."
"Workday is easy to use. Timesheet and resource management are also easy."
"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."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The product is useful for storing employee records."
"It stores everything for the employee. It has also been able to store the information that we use for our payroll demand."
 

Cons

"They could include marketing automation for the product."
"It takes time to properly learn what the product can do."
"The platform's distribution features need enhancement."
"For the quality department, there is a module called quality, and I feel it has to be a little bit simplified."
"Pricing is always an area where there is room for improvement."
"There should be better clarity and agreement on all interfaces and requirements before signing a contract. This would avoid unexpected costs and complications later on."
"Regarding integration, specific third-party tools are not accepted, for example, on the old version of IBM or Oracle."
"Currently, there are some challenges with handling large reports, possibly due to setup limits or issues with the solution."
"They could provide a web chatbot feature in the dashboard for Workday."
"There could be a web-based application for making payments to the employees."
"The security console should be made less complex."
"The navigation of Workday is good but could be better."
"Workday has several helpful features. It has categorized payroll processes into sections, such as CTC separation and pay slips. It also provides detailed information on promotions and salary hikes, showing changes from the previous year to the current year. This includes a clear view of the new CTC and the monthly paycheck breakdown."
"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."
"Analytical tools have needed improvement. Workday has just released Prism Analytics, to replace the current analytical tools, so it’s in the early stages."
"The user interface could be better. Everything else was fine."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform's pricing depends on the specific number of users."
"The pricing is not built on a standard model."
"I feel it is not very cheap, very economical but also not very expensive."
"I'm working for a German company, but I'm located in Portugal. In the German market, Infor's price isn't an issue for clients, but Infor is losing market share every year to SAP in Portugal. Portuguese clients find SAP more affordable. Infor needs to work on this."
"The product is expensive. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"For on-premise installations, the licensing is yearly."
"As for pricing, I secured a favorable deal at around $80,000 yearly for five years, but it was a one-time opportunity."
"It is a cost-effective 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."
"With a bigger budget, I would recommend SAP."
"You have the license fee per module, and then you have a kind of annual training fee, which is a kind of add-on. I wouldn't say it is exhaustive; it is minor. Licensing is pretty transparent for most of the part."
"It has an annual subscription rate, but I'm not sure how it will work."
"Its price is pretty high. It is more expensive than what is offered by other competitors in the market."
"The pricing is good from an HR perspective, although management gets upset after spending $500,000 a year, every year."
"It is on a yearly basis."
