Workday Reviews

I would say the most value comes from the annual review features. It is well laid out and easy to complete. It makes the process of annual reviews simple and concise.

It is more efficient than any methods/processes I have used in other companies. The simplicity of the system is very valuable.

The ability to drive more analytics on a customizable level would be helpful.

One year.

No problems with deployment.

No problems with stability.

Scalability has not been an issue.

Straightforward.

I primarily used the report writer; have some experience with EIB integrations as well.

My personal organization does not use it. However, in my clients’ organizations, people really seemed to like the user interface, and the community has been extremely helpful. The regular releases are also very nice. Reporting is a bit of a learning curve coming from an ERP built on a standard relationship database, but once users get the hang of it, it's really quite powerful.

It's great for operational / detailed reporting and some low-level analytics, but for heavy-duty analysis against large data sets, I find it's a bit lacking. For instance, the indexed data sources only work when using non-calculated fields. Most clients have a TON of calculated fields used for reporting purposes, so I find this severely limits the appeal of such data sources. Non-indexed data sources don't perform very well against large datasets compared to a data warehouse / star schema / OLAP cube.

I have used it off and on since 2013; had one project where I worked with it for about two years, another for about six months.

I rarely if ever encountered any stability issues.

The community is super helpful; haven't had to use an actual support ticket thus far.

From a reporting standpoint, there's not much configuration or setup required at all.

The reporting capability is perfectly adequate in 90% of cases, given the requisite training. For "heavy-duty" analytics across very large datasets, consider the integration required for integrating with an on-premise data warehouse, for example... There will be considerable additional overhead in managing the outbound files, SFTP, ETL, etc. from a cloud source vs an on-premise source.

I am not at liberty to share our use cases. 

The implementation time should be addressed, as it is too slow. Also, the solution should be more user-friendly. 

The installation is time-consuming and not so straightforward. 

So too, technical support is not sufficiently fast. 

I have been using Workday for a couple of years.

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable.

We have had experience with technical support and it could be faster. 

Prior to using the solution, we made use of Oracle. This was around four or five years ago. 

The installation is not so straightforward and could be faster. 

Its duration depends on the model one is using and can range from three to six months. 

We made use of a consultant. 

The solution is cloud-based.

Our organization has 1,000 people making use of the solution. 

I would recommend the solution to others, owing to its stability.

I rate Workday as a seven out of ten.
