JM
Learning Solution Architect at a recruiting/HR firm with self employed
A flexible solution with superb automation capabilities
The technical support is high-end. They're knowledgeable people, both in the US and in the Philippines. One point of improvement — they should talk more to each other. They're quite responsive, but it depends on the scope of the ticket. If it's just solving an issue from one product, you can have either a consultant from the US or from the Philippines. It gets difficult when a solution is about integration. For instance, authentication mechanisms. Authentication mechanisms come from the US and they have to be incorporated in the Asia version. Then it's difficult because support has to talk to each other.

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

"Overall, it’s easy to learn and use."
"This solution is extremely flexible and the automation capabilities are great."
"I find the PeopleFluent implementation support to be extremely flexible and generous towards their customers."
"I would say that we have definitely seen a return on investment."
"The business process framework is excellent."
"The unique selling point of Workday is its easy-to-use user interface, which is quite difficult in other ERP systems such as SAP or Oracle Fusion."
"Workday has improved our organization by being a centralized spot for payroll and benefits information."
"The user interface is good and very easy to use."
"The payroll and benefits engine is the most valuable Workday solution in my opinion. It is also easy to access."
"It stores everything for the employee. It has also been able to store the information that we use for our payroll demand."
"It is a leading talent management tool, and it has got the largest market share."
 

Cons

"The integration capabilities could be improved."
"The integration capabilities could be improved. Integration of the recently acquired Learning Management System into the PeopleFluent suite, since it's clear that it's just recently acquired and it's not fully integrated."
"Give us the ability to source within the tool. It may just be how it’s configured for our organization, but we do not have the ability to source resumes in PeopleFluent."
"The solution should enhance its flexibility and promptly incorporate the brainstormed ideas into the upcoming releases. Typically, after their brainstorming session, it takes one or two update cycles for the changes to reflect in the tenant."
"The solution needs to be updated with generative UI."
"The solution has to work a lot on financial integrations, material management and CRM modules."
"If you want to add more features to your subscription, Workday becomes expensive."
"Errors are not very clear in some cases. I've been experiencing some issues within the application that the error messages or what I needed to do were not very easily clear to me."
"The security console should be made less complex."
"There is so much information floating around Workday that it becomes overwhelming to digest all of it."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not too expensive, but not too cheap either."
"Its price is pretty high. It is more expensive than what is offered by other competitors in the market."
"It is on a yearly basis."
"With a bigger budget, I would recommend SAP."
"Workday is an expensive solution."
"It has an annual subscription rate, but I'm not sure how it will work."
"The solution’s pricing is better than SAP SuccessFactors."
"The pricing is good from an HR perspective, although management gets upset after spending $500,000 a year, every year."
"I rate the product’s pricing a ten out of ten."
