Creates user defined screens, which are then reportable
Flexibility in terms of customisation does come at the expense of ease of use. It is not the easiest system to manage from a system administrator point of view. Whilst obviously not unmanageable, you will need to develop expertise in teams to manage the back end of the system internally within the organisation.

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

"The ability to create user defined screens, which are then reportable, allows us to capture specialised information that would not necessarily be considered core HR data for most organisations, and as a university, the ability to produce our HESA return using the dedicated module is invaluable."
"I would recommend ResourceLink and it is a highly customisable solution to any organisation, but they would need to employ a System Analyst to fully implement the system due to the size and complexities."
"MyView is easy to configure, and Auto Enrolment is excellent as you can automate letters and templates."
"Workday's best features are planning and finance."
"It saves a lot of time for onboarding processes."
"It is quite user-friendly."
"It's intuitive, a very usable tool and it's easy to find the data you're looking for."
"We use this solution to manage financials, payroll and recruiting."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the usability, learning, and compliance tools."
"Workday has improved our organization by being a centralized spot for payroll and benefits information."
"The solution is stable."
 

Cons

"Their product is not overly intuitive when setting up new processes, but MyView is very easy to use."
"Leave Management needs to be significantly enhanced and ACs need to be trained fully on the product."
"Customer service is questionable at best recently; we have experienced issues with patches and installation of additional modules, which has caused delays on some projects and meant senior managers of the school have had to be involved in escalating issues."
"In a future release we could like to have access to asset, supply and treasury management functionalities."
"The compensation module is not dynamic enough or flexible enough to accommodate the complexities in our salary structure."
"I would be happy if it was faster. Currently, when I try to navigate within the solution itself, it is a bit slow in terms of the page load time. When I click on something, it usually takes time to load. When you click on different icons or areas on the website, it is slow. Even when you navigate between different models, it is a bit slow. I would like to see a bit faster performance and a better user experience."
"We would like to see improvement in the mobile app variant of this solution. The time sheet entry and approval, and the geo-tagging features all need to have their functionality updated, in order to be comparable with other products on the market."
"The price could be lower."
"Analytical tools have needed improvement."
"The user interface can be enhanced."
"One area that could be improved with Workday is the analytics side."
