Workday HCM Reviews

We use the tool for talent management.

The software is easy to learn and use. When compared to SAP HR and SAP HCM, the tool is easy to access and understand. We have a hierarchy and structural connectivity in Workday. There is a certification for the solution and when we do it, we become the certified partners of the company.

The solution has some features missing when you put them in the test studio or Confluence Studio. I would like the tool’s coding to be easier to understand and automated. Most of the coding these days is automated. Any query given can pull the answer directly which can make the solution easier to understand.

I have been working with the solution for four years.

I would rate the solution’s stability a seven out of ten.

I would rate Workday’s scalability an eight out of ten. My company has a thousand users for the solution.

I am satisfied with the tool’s customer service and support.

We used SAP HCM before Workday. We switched to Workday because of the features.

I would rate the setup of the solution an eight out of ten. The tool is deployed on the cloud. The solution’s implementation took only hours to complete.

I would rate the solution’s pricing a six out of ten.

I would rate the overall solution an eight out of ten. I will recommend this solution to other users.

When I used to work on Workday, some of the info wasn't accurate, and I had to double-check via Sage People. The company that bought us wanted to use their own product. Their product was Workday, and our product was Sage People. They told us that Workday is like Sage People, but something didn't add up. I always used Sage People as a backup tool for Workday.

It was more efficient for the agents for their performance reviews, but when it came to HR and the recruitment team, it sometimes worked, and sometimes, it didn't work.

There were a lot of issues. There were consistency or accuracy issues with the data we had, and every time we had to pull reports in Workday, it was difficult. 

I've been using Workday since 2020. It has been around two years. I don't know the version that we had. All I know is that for HR, we've got access to everything, and employees have got access to their payslips, etc.

It was being used by the whole call center with more than 250 agents.

When a company bought us, we were still working on Sage People. That's how Workday came to us. If I could choose between Sage People and Workday, I'd go for Sage People. It's the best.

It's straightforward, but you need to know it in order to work on it. You need training on Workday.

To those considering using this solution, I'd advise doing a proper check. Pay attention and ask more questions.

I'd rate Workday a seven out of ten.

We install this solution for our customers to use, for capital management purposes.

We like the fact that this solution is very user-friendly, with a straightforward user interface.

We would like to see improvement in the mobile app variant of this solution. The  time sheet entry and approval, and the geo-tagging features all need to have their functionality updated, in order to be comparable with other products on the market.

We have been working with this solution for three years.

We have found this to be a stable solution during our time working with it.

We are informed bu our customers that it is an easily scalable solution.

The initial setup of this solution is very easy, and the deployment will take a maximum of one week to complete.

We would recommend this solution to organizations looking for a unifying product, as there is very little need for customization or development and it is easy to use from implementation.

We would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

I mainly use Workday for job requisitions, CRM, and HCM.

Workday's best features are planning and finance.

Workday would be improved with more API connectors. Its UI is also somewhat cumbersome.

I've been using Workday for a year.

Workday's scalability is good.

Workday is moderately priced - I'd rate its pricing three out of five.

I would rate Workday as six out of ten.

Our HR team use it to manage all employee information and processes. 

 It is easy to use and straightforward.

This solution could be made easier to use by continuing to release new improvements. 

I have been using this solution for six months. 

This is a stable solution. 

I have not needed to contact customer support. 

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten. 

We primarily use the solution for benefits administration and talent management. We can also manage HR and administration. We use the solution worldwide. 

It's for absence management. For platform and feedback management, both for myself and for my coaches. We use it for performance, in general, across the company. It's for onboarding. 

For example, I've been provided with monthly pay slips through Workday, I can have available all the pay slips and other information, personal information, such as certificates for tax and personal purposes. Everything is in Workday as far as personnel is concerned.

I like the usability and responsiveness of the application.

The interface is fine.

It's easy to set up.

It is stable.

It could be expensive, however, that is not something that is my concern as it is my company's concern, in terms of pricing. 

The user interface could be modernized somehow. 

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. I needed to contact an expert in order to facilitate the problem resolution.

Technical support could be better. 

I've been using the solution for two years. 

It's a very stable solution. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

We have about 1,000 users. 

It's a solution that can scale. 

While technical support could be better, it's improved. When I needed their support, it took me some days to resolve my issues. Probably it is not due to Workday's support. That said, in general, it is something that I expect to be improved.

It's very easy to set up. It's not overly complex or difficult. 

I'm not technical and did not handle the deployment and therefore cannot speak to how long it took or the exact process. It was a global rollout. It may have taken six months to a year. 

I'm not sure what the maintenance process looks like. It is a centrally managed application. I don't know which team actually covers it. Here in Greece, we have some application subunits that can support end-users, however, not the actual technical team. It is somewhere in the world. I don't know if it is in America, or if it is in India. I really don't know.

The solution would be expensive for smaller organizations. 

We're a user.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

As I do with my clients when HR topics come to the table, I really, really suggest everyone consider deploying some Workday features. I know it is expensive for some companies. Of course, if the company's a middle-sized company, it may not make sense. However, it is an application that, according to Gartner or other popular reviews, it is the best solution for HR, management, and talent acquisition management.

Workday is currently being used for all finance and accounting, i.e., time and expense, expense reimbursement, and payroll benefits. We're currently still expanding it where there are projects still ongoing.

Workday has improved our organization by being a centralized spot for payroll and benefits information. We use it extensively and plan on expanding our use. 

The payroll and benefits engine is the most valuable Workday solution in my opinion. It is also easy to access. 

The expenses and reimbursements module could be improved. Creating expense reports is time-consuming and inefficient compared to other expense solutions.

Workday could also be easier to use. 

I have been using Workday for two years. 

Workday's stability is fine. It's a cloud product, so it's not going to shut down on us.

Workday is probably the most scalable human capital management platform out there. We probably have more than 4,000 users, most of whom are using it for tracking time, expenses, payroll, and benefits. Also, the accounting department uses it as their ERP. 

We previously used a very old, end-of-life system. 

I was not part of the initial Workday setup so I don't really know.

We used a third-party vendor for the initial deployment and it took about a year and a half or so. 

I don't think we evaluated other solutions before going with Workday. 

The advice I would give to others considering Workday is to know that it's big and time-consuming. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten

We use Workday for the management of extensive leave applications in familiar industries. The primary use cases are for employment management.

I'm not a user. I don't get too involved in that.

I don't have any issues with this solution.

Workday is a secure product.

The dashboard is fine, but the dashboarding and other aspects could be improved.

The user interface can be enhanced.

I have been using Workday for four or five years.

Workday is stable. I have not had any issues with it.

Workday is a scalable solution.

We have approximately 100 users in our company.

I am not aware of any plans to increase usage by the company.

Technical support is always available. I don't have any concerns with technical support.

In terms of RP products, I work with UiPath, Studio, Orchestrator, and AI Center, which are included with UiPath. Process mining is available, but I have not used it. Perhaps I'll use it in the future.

I use Office and other activities on a regular basis, but nothing specific.

We don't use Microsoft because we have our own tools. We have internal resources.

It was easy to install. 

I was not involved with the deployment. I can't do it because I don't know how to do it.

It has an annual subscription rate, but I'm not sure how it will work.

I would recommend this solution to anyone who is interested.

I would rate Workday an eight out of ten.

We use this solution to manage financials, payroll and recruiting.

In a future release we could like to have access to asset, supply and treasury management functionalities.

I have used this solution for two years. 

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution. 

The initial setup is straightforward. 

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten. 

It is an in-house HCM system and is currently being used by our staff across the world. We are planning to implement more features of the solution including analytics.

With other ERP tools in place, there is a lot of scope for customization with this solution. There is a lot of maintenance and we need a very huge team to maintain our ERP systems. With Workday taking everything to the cloud and taking responsibility of the customizations, introduce the workforce which we need to maintain in the organization.

The entire HCM module, specifically the recruitment process compared to other modules, is way easier to use.

The finance module of this solution is not great and needs improvement. Within the HCM space, the analytics functionality could be improved to allow us to create our own reports.

We have used this solution for two years. 

Bharat Pulikonda:
HCM is pretty good. I think they have developed really good and they have spent a lot of time. I think they have a lot of... They have sold it a lot of companies.

Bharat Pulikonda:
Scalability. I think they have already done pretty good with the HCM module, but for the ERP solutions need to enter into other areas. So if they can do that, they can be really scalable.

Bharat Pulikonda:
So it's in house, so it is 250,000 population.

Bharat Pulikonda:
They're pretty experienced. So they have done a lot of implementations like this, so they're very clear about what they're doing.

We changed from our previous solution to have top end technology which is cost efficient.

The initial setup is very straightforward. Deployment took two years but was smooth because it's a huge implementation across 32 countries. And it took us only two.

Bharat Pulikonda:
[I 00:04:51] use a third party workday implementation partner of Deloitte.

For a large organization, this product is really good. For a small organization, there are better value products in the market. Overall, this solution provides a  good user experience and is very easy to use.
