Provide performance management and HR operations but lacks AI capabilities
Using PeopleStrong, uploading modules, and downloading reports was very easy. The process was hassle-free and user-friendly. We use PeopleStrong for performance management and HR operations, such as storing data and handling documentation when a new person joins the company. For learning and…
Sarvesh Kumar Jha - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to use and provides great flexibility and security
Implementing the solution is generally not easy because it depends on our client's landscape. In the last one and a half years, Workday has started a new implementation approach called launch implementation. This approach allows you, as a client organization, to implement Workday in a shorter amount of time, given that you fulfill certain criteria. It depends on the number of subsidiaries and employees you have and their compensation structure. If it's not too complex, Workday provides its clients with this new approach called launch, where they can quickly onboard with the Workday without many complex requirements. The general implementation for Fortune 500 companies is always complex.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product has valuable flexibility for customization, user interface, and search capabilities."
"The mobile responsiveness is strong."
"PeopleStrong Alt is flexible because it allows customization and the user's experience is very good."
"It is priced low."
"It has the capability of reporting. We, as a business team, found it good. In fact, we migrated to PeopleStrong essentially because of its reporting feature."
"The UI and UX are fantastic."
"Some of the most valuable features are the onboarding experience of new employees, the employee service portal, and the entire performance management system."
"The hiring process is good. It will create a process-oriented procedure in terms of hiring, promotion, the movement of people, and other related HR tasks."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the usability, learning, and compliance tools."
"Workday is highly intuitive from a customer experience perspective. It was effortless for us to understand what to do even though we didn't have any related training. It was easy to use without guidance."
"It's a fully consolidated system. All the transactions and configuration are co-located in one fully in-memory system, so there is no need to go to different data sources (multiple DBs) to pull data; it’s all in one place."
"The solution was very good at reconfiguration and customization of their software. It helped us to meet federal regulations."
"I like its UI and UX. When we were using Oracle or SAP, the UI/UX wasn't very user-friendly for the employees."
"We use this solution to manage financials, payroll and recruiting."
"We use the platform for tasks, including applying for leaves, communication, and adhering to our organization's policies through efficient goal setting and reviews."
"Workday is a secure product."
 

Cons

"They could include a sort of collaborative platform where employees are able to work together with a chat mechanism like WhatsApp and video chat."
"It would be helpful if you could work offline because sometimes, we have problems with internet connectivity."
"The global scalability and support could improve."
"The solution's workflow can improve by adding more customization at the organizational level."
"PeopleStrong could make it AI-friendly."
"Sometimes, we feel that we should have an API-based integration aspect."
"They had challenges getting the performance management system up and integrated with our systems."
"They could improve talent management capabilities."
"This solution could be improved by providing user-level access to customization capabilities. Users currently rely on more technical teams to customize reports, for example."
"It is very unique as compared to other tools in terms of the employee master data and how it is organized. That's why sometimes the information needs to sit in two different systems because, in Workday, it is organized differently. This issue is not related to benefits. It is more or so related to how you categorize employees. I don't think this is a problem that could be solved. Workday is aware of this. It is one of those kinds of situations that you just got to live with."
"There could be a web-based application for making payments to the employees."
"The expenses and reimbursements module could be improved. Creating expense reports is time consuming and inefficient compared to other expense solutions."
"The solution can be improved by speeding up the load time when pulling up information."
"The price could be lower."
"The solution needs to be updated with generative UI."
"They could provide a web chatbot feature in the dashboard for Workday."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's very reasonably priced. It is paid per employee."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"With a bigger budget, I would recommend SAP."
"Its price is pretty high. It is more expensive than what is offered by other competitors in the market."
"The solution is flexible in terms of pricing."
"The pricing for this solution is fairly high. It is not affordable for small and mid-sized companies."
"Workday is moderately priced - I'd rate its pricing three out of five."
"It has an annual subscription rate, but I'm not sure how it will work."
"I rate the product’s pricing a ten out of ten."
"The pricing is good from an HR perspective, although management gets upset after spending $500,000 a year, every year."
