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 offers a comprehensive, all-in-one solution for managing HR processes, which makes it convenient to handle everything from employee data to performance tracking in a single place.”

Amanda M.

Manager

“You can complete many training and certificates through this application as well for job role management and staying up to date with clearances, certificates and government policies.”

Kerry G.

Patient Account Services Associate

Pros

“The LI integration works smoothly in practice, and the in-app support chat is useful for resolving small, tactical questions w/o slowing the team down.”

Samanta J.

Head of Talent Acquisition

“Support staff has been great, lightweight ATS that covers everything you want 1) Candidate and Job management, sourcing, integration with email/calendar, and sequencing emails”

Evan P.

Recruiter

“Pricing can also be a constraint for smaller or earlier-stage teams. While the core product is strong, some advanced capabilities, particularly around reporting, come at an additional cost that may not be accessible to all teams, like ours.”

Samanta J.

Head of Talent Acquisition

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

“That limits us for using it for construction industry and we are missing for access to contractors data bases.”

Andrii L.

Senior strategist

“The site itself seemed a bit dated and lacked the customization that our team required when it came to scheduling.”

Susan N.

Sr. HR Specialist

“More features meaning is not as snappy as it could be (UI is getting slower)”
