Workday Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Senior people and systems analyst at B_labs & Mylo4.0I extensively use Workday for HR, finding its interface superior and workflows helpful, while their support is perfect. My main improvement is mass shift assignment for large teams. It's expensive and has regional purchase restrictions, but I rate it 8.5/10.
Senior Analyst at Eos Intelligence4.0As a consultant, I'm recommending Workday to a retail client, especially for its strong recruiting features and ease of use. Despite information overload, I prioritize it over Oracle, rating it 8/10.
System Engineer at a retailer with 10,001+ employees4.5I use Workday for unified HCM, valuing its Google-like search and improved data integrity, which cut HR processing time by 45%. Custom reporting is challenging, and implementation is massive, but its benefits are undeniable.
HR Manager at NCSoft4.0Workday significantly reduced my HR workload with its excellent UI/UX and stability. Though very expensive, its lack of Korean language support and localized customer service is a key drawback for my market.
HRIS Analyst at a outsourcing company with 5,001-10,000 employees4.5I've used Workday since 2011, valuing its strong HCM features, stability, scalability, and excellent support. Though analytics and AI need improvement, I highly recommend Workday for its positive ROI and continuous updates, rating it nine out of ten.
Senior Technology Consultant at PricewaterhouseCoopers4.5I find Workday an easy-to-use, highly stable, flexible, and scalable solution. While its new 'launch' approach simplifies implementation for some, adding more features makes the subscription expensive. Overall, I rate it very highly.
Sr. HR Execuitve - Employee Relations at HGS - Hinduja Global Solutions4.5Workday is a good, stable HR hub for employee data, payroll, and tax. I value its detailed features, but navigation prominence needs improvement. Specific paths are tricky to find, and AI support often requires tickets.
HR Manager at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees4.0I find Workday user-friendly, especially Core HCM, and a good shift from Oracle. However, customer service is slow, and I wish for more industry-specific solutions instead of relying on extensive customization.
