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."
"This solution is extremely flexible and the automation capabilities are great."
"Overall, it’s easy to learn and use."
"We like the fact that this solution is very user-friendly, with a straightforward user interface."
"Overall, it delivers a really seamless solution that allows for operational efficiencies and operational excellence."
"It saves a lot of time for onboarding processes."
"Everything is in Workday as far as personnel is concerned."
"Workday Human Capital Management is a user-friendly solution."
"Workday is easy to use. Timesheet and resource management are also easy."
"The interface of Workday is superior; it is easy and clear, everything is organized effectively, and I enjoy using Workday extensively."
"I like its UI and UX. When we were using Oracle or SAP, the UI/UX wasn't very user-friendly for the employees."
 

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."
"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 integration capabilities could be improved."
"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."
"The product must include payroll features."
"Payroll integration is terrible. It has a lot of limitations."
"They don't have worker payroll in the product. We have to solve our payroll. I hope one day they will be able to have their own localized standard payrolls for all countries."
"It has missing functionalities. Specific countries, like Germany, didn't have the option to do payroll. Now we need to look for another product for HR."
"They could improve the product areas such as enhancing the interview scheduling module to support more flexible online assessments within the platform."
"They could provide a web chatbot feature in the dashboard for Workday."
"The cost of Workday is certainly not inexpensive. It's very pricey."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not too expensive, but not too cheap either."
"I would rate the solution’s pricing a six out of ten."
"It is on a yearly basis."
"With a bigger budget, I would recommend SAP."
"Workday is an expensive solution."
"I need to pay for a license. It is expensive."
"Its price is pretty high. It is more expensive than what is offered by other competitors in the market."
"Workday is moderately priced - I'd rate its pricing three out of five."
"The pricing for this solution is fairly high. It is not affordable for small and mid-sized companies."
