Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Workday, Oracle and others in Talent Management."System usability has improved to a large extent and our manual effort has been reduced."
"I like its UI and UX. When we were using Oracle or SAP, the UI/UX wasn't very user-friendly for the employees."
"There is a lot to like about it. I really enjoy the business process framework. It's something that's really seamless. It allows you to have people within the flow. They get assigned a task to complete something to approve, etc. That's a really good piece of functionality that Workday offers. Their out-of-the-box reporting framework is also really powerful in terms of what it provides. These would be two things that I would highlight."
"It is easy to use and straightforward."
"There is a lot of scope for customization with this solution"
"Workday is a holistic HR solution."
"Performance and good usability are the two most valuable features of this solution."
"It's intuitive, a very usable tool and it's easy to find the data you're looking for."
"The most valuable feature of Workday is the ease of use which is overall user-friendly."
"Analytics is one area where this system really needs a large improvement because currently, it has only basic reporting features."
"It's possible that the way things are integrated could be improved"
"The finance module of this solution is not great and needs improvement."
"They don't offer any backend database access. This is one limitation that I found in this product. Workday hasn't opened up about what kind of database they are into, which can make it easy for the technical team to emulate issues. It would be good if they can offer backend access to the technical team. It would be helpful if they can also provide a Troubleshooting Guide that we can use to troubleshoot issues. When we have an issue, there are very limited resources to refer to."
"The navigation of Workday is good but could be better."
"One potential feature that could be added is the ability to streamline business processes through quick tips and guided tours. This would allow for a smoother and more guided experience for colleagues as they navigate through different processes and steps. It would be similar to a guidance system or a step-by-step tutorial that could be added after the business process to guide users through it."
"The solution needs to be updated with generative UI."
"The cost of Workday is certainly not inexpensive. It's very pricey."
"It is very unique as compared to other tools in terms of the employee master data and how it is organized. That's why sometimes the information needs to sit in two different systems because, in Workday, it is organized differently. This issue is not related to benefits. It is more or so related to how you categorize employees. I don't think this is a problem that could be solved. Workday is aware of this. It is one of those kinds of situations that you just got to live with."
