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 Performance Manager, Recruitment manager, and the Payroll and HR core functionalities are the most valuable aspects of this solution."
"Overall, this solution provides a good user experience and is very easy to use."
"I would recommend the solution to others, owing to its stability."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a cloud-based system and easy to use."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The product is a complete solution for security."
"It's intuitive, a very usable tool and it's easy to find the data you're looking for."
"I'm happy with the features Workday offers. But in particular, Core HCM is the best."
"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."
 

Cons

"The learning development functionalities has room for improvement."
"The solution needs to be updated with generative UI."
"The compensation module is not dynamic enough or flexible enough to accommodate the complexities in our salary structure."
"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 does not integrate with some of the career management softwares, like LinkedIn."
"In addition to the lost data, the solution is slow to pull up information and I am not sure if this is due to the botched implementation or if it is the solution itself."
"I'm not sure they have added this feature yet, but there should be a cellphone version, so we do not need to do it on a laptop. I'd like to log in on a cellphone and have the same features. I'm not sure if that is already available or if it's on the roadmap, but that would be a great feature."
"The implementation could have gone a little smoother."
"The user interface could be better. Everything else was fine."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Workday is an expensive solution."
"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."
"The pricing for this solution is fairly high. It is not affordable for small and mid-sized companies."
"It is on a yearly basis."
"With a bigger budget, I would recommend SAP."
"It's very, very expensive."
"The solution is flexible in terms of pricing."
"I would rate the solution’s pricing a six out of ten."
