Pros

“Its greatest strengths are its high system stability with minimal bugs and a seamless Scheduling and Time Clock feature that simplifies daily operations for employees. While it is a premium investment, the Value for Money is clear through the elimination of disconnected third-party tools and the high level of professional Customer Support provided.”

RAUL M.

software support

“The platform integrates multiple HR functions into one system, making it easier to access employee records, process requests, and manage workforce operations efficiently.”

Swaminathan S.

ERC Sr Associate

“The absence calendar is especially useful because it provides a clear visual overview of time off, helping employees request leave and allowing managers to quickly see team availability.”

Waghlis T.

Software Dev Manager

Pros

“For a team like ours at Built, currently moving to a 65% strategic/35% reactive split, we find ourselves having to build external AI orchestration or buy third-party tools to handle what should be native: high-volume fraud prevention, complex auto-scheduling, and bulk workflow efficiency.”

Ashley G.

Senior Talent Partner

“The ability to build specific role scorecards ensures we maintain a high bar for talent even as we scale.”

Ashley G.

Senior Talent Partner

“It is quite pricey and a bit difficult for our hiring model, we have a unique model which our employee numbers fluctuate.”

Tracy W.

Talent Acquisition Lead

Cons

“The main drawbacks of Workday HCM are its steep learning curve and the complexity of its back end configuration, which often requires specialized training or expensive consultants.”

RAUL M.

software support

“Reporting, not clear on trended worker data source and not easy to combine data and data sources and not easy to make dashboards for higher management, often we need to go to powerbi solution which means exporting sensitive data.”

Sofia P.

HR IT

“One thing I wish were better is how sometimes navigation feels a bit unintuitive in Workday HCM — simple tasks like finding the right leave field or switching between views can take more clicks than I’d expect.”

Sam P.

HRIS Systems Analyst

Cons

“It takes a lot of manual effort to set up a job properly, or to do something as simple as pulling up a job description, and its internal reporting often requires exporting data to Excel to get real insights.”

Ashley G.

Senior Talent Partner

“Automation Gaps: Native scheduling still lacks the complexity needed for an AI-native function, currently consuming 1,000–1,700 hours of team capacity annually.”

Ashley G.

Senior Talent Partner

“Additionally, the resume parsing was not always accurate, which sometimes required manual corrections and added extra time to the hiring process.”
