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

"I find the PeopleFluent implementation support to be extremely flexible and generous towards their customers."
"Overall, it’s easy to learn and use."
"The solution is extremely stable."
"I found the analysis features to be very useful for our company. I also found the modules installed to be aligned with our company's KPIs. These were the two features that stood out."
"The solution has good accessibility; it's easy to use and not very confusing."
"We use this solution to manage financials, payroll and recruiting."
"It's actually a cloud-native solution and based on the community for development, with a very good open architecture that is able to interconnect with other systems, and it is very stable and very fast in terms of response."
"The most valuable feature of Workday is the ease of use which is overall user-friendly."
"Overall, it delivers a really seamless solution that allows for operational efficiencies and operational excellence."
"We like the fact that this solution is very user-friendly, with a straightforward user interface."
 

Cons

"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."
"The integration capabilities could be improved."
"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."
"There is so much information floating around Workday that it becomes overwhelming to digest all of it."
"Workday could give us industry-specific or vertical-specific solutions."
"Workday is an expensive solution."
"In terms of reporting, we have to rely on a consultant to do the report customization. The most important thing is to be able to do your own reporting, which it can't do. We rely so much on our consultant to customize reports for us."
"The ability to drive more analytics on a customizable level would be helpful."
"There could be a web-based application for making payments to the employees."
"In a future release we could like to have access to asset, supply and treasury management functionalities."
"The tool has certain shortcomings when it comes to its integration capabilities with other systems in our company, making it an area where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not too expensive, but not too cheap either."
"With a bigger budget, I would recommend SAP."
"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 an expensive solution."
"The solution is flexible in terms of pricing."
"It has an annual subscription rate, but I'm not sure how it will work."
"It's very, very expensive."
"I would rate the solution’s pricing a six out of ten."
"The solution’s pricing is better than SAP SuccessFactors."
