Workday Reviews

It is basically an HR or employee management solution. It has specific modules for performance management, employee details, career management, etc.

It is a one-stop solution for everything. You can look for information about other employees or you can track your information. There is a directory, so you can search for other employees. You can also see and track your personal details and salary details on the employee profile page. 

It allows you to do everything related to career management. For example, you can give an employee reference. You can also refer people from outside the organization. 

It also helps you with leave management. If you want to apply for leave or track your leaves, you can do that.

I would be happy if it was faster. Currently, when I try to navigate within the solution itself, it is a bit slow in terms of the page load time. When I click on something, it usually takes time to load. When you click on different icons or areas on the website, it is slow. Even when you navigate between different models, it is a bit slow. I would like to see a bit faster performance and a better user experience.

I've been using this solution for more than two and a half years.

I am only an end-user. So, I don't know about its stability and scalability, but in our organization, all the users are using it. We have about 2,000 employees who are using this solution. Everyone has access to the solution across all the regions.

I have not contacted their tech support.

I've used different HR management systems. I might have used Oracle HR, but I am not sure.

It is a SaaS solution. I just need to access the website.

I would, of course, recommend this solution to others. It is a good solution.

I would rate it an eight out of ten.

We use Workday for the management of extensive leave applications in familiar industries. The primary use cases are for employment management.

I'm not a user. I don't get too involved in that.

I don't have any issues with this solution.

Workday is a secure product.

The dashboard is fine, but the dashboarding and other aspects could be improved.

The user interface can be enhanced.

I have been using Workday for four or five years.

Workday is stable. I have not had any issues with it.

Workday is a scalable solution.

We have approximately 100 users in our company.

I am not aware of any plans to increase usage by the company.

Technical support is always available. I don't have any concerns with technical support.

In terms of RP products, I work with UiPath, Studio, Orchestrator, and AI Center, which are included with UiPath. Process mining is available, but I have not used it. Perhaps I'll use it in the future.

I use Office and other activities on a regular basis, but nothing specific.

We don't use Microsoft because we have our own tools. We have internal resources.

It was easy to install. 

I was not involved with the deployment. I can't do it because I don't know how to do it.

It has an annual subscription rate, but I'm not sure how it will work.

I would recommend this solution to anyone who is interested.

I would rate Workday an eight out of ten.

When I used to work on Workday, some of the info wasn't accurate, and I had to double-check via Sage People. The company that bought us wanted to use their own product. Their product was Workday, and our product was Sage People. They told us that Workday is like Sage People, but something didn't add up. I always used Sage People as a backup tool for Workday.

It was more efficient for the agents for their performance reviews, but when it came to HR and the recruitment team, it sometimes worked, and sometimes, it didn't work.

There were a lot of issues. There were consistency or accuracy issues with the data we had, and every time we had to pull reports in Workday, it was difficult. 

I've been using Workday since 2020. It has been around two years. I don't know the version that we had. All I know is that for HR, we've got access to everything, and employees have got access to their payslips, etc.

It was being used by the whole call center with more than 250 agents.

When a company bought us, we were still working on Sage People. That's how Workday came to us. If I could choose between Sage People and Workday, I'd go for Sage People. It's the best.

It's straightforward, but you need to know it in order to work on it. You need training on Workday.

To those considering using this solution, I'd advise doing a proper check. Pay attention and ask more questions.

I'd rate Workday a seven out of ten.

Workday is currently being used for all finance and accounting, i.e., time and expense, expense reimbursement, and payroll benefits. We're currently still expanding it where there are projects still ongoing.

Workday has improved our organization by being a centralized spot for payroll and benefits information. We use it extensively and plan on expanding our use. 

The payroll and benefits engine is the most valuable Workday solution in my opinion. It is also easy to access. 

The expenses and reimbursements module could be improved. Creating expense reports is time-consuming and inefficient compared to other expense solutions.

Workday could also be easier to use. 

I have been using Workday for two years. 

Workday's stability is fine. It's a cloud product, so it's not going to shut down on us.

Workday is probably the most scalable human capital management platform out there. We probably have more than 4,000 users, most of whom are using it for tracking time, expenses, payroll, and benefits. Also, the accounting department uses it as their ERP. 

We previously used a very old, end-of-life system. 

I was not part of the initial Workday setup so I don't really know.

We used a third-party vendor for the initial deployment and it took about a year and a half or so. 

I don't think we evaluated other solutions before going with Workday. 

The advice I would give to others considering Workday is to know that it's big and time-consuming. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten

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.

Our HR team use it to manage all employee information and processes. 

 It is easy to use and straightforward.

This solution could be made easier to use by continuing to release new improvements. 

I have been using this solution for six months. 

This is a stable solution. 

I have not needed to contact customer support. 

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten. 

We support the tool. There are users who are using Workday. If there's an issue while they are using Workday, we see what's the issue and help them resolve it.

The product is useful for storing employee records.

The product must include payroll features.

I have been using this solution since 2018. I am using the latest version of the solution.

I rate the product’s stability a six out of ten.

I rate the tool’s scalability a six out of ten. Around 30,000 people are using the solution in our organization.

I rate the ease of setup a six out of ten. The product is not easy to implement. It is difficult to understand the setup at first. The tool is not that informative for us to understand the whole picture. The solution is deployed on the cloud. The deployment took us two years.

The number of people required for deployment depends on the project's size. In our case, it was a global deployment. We needed more than 100 people to deploy the product. If it’s for one company, it can be deployed with fewer people.

I have worked with ERP systems. I could recommend the solution to others. However, people must attend training to understand the tool. Overall, I rate the product a six out of ten.

We use Workday for employee benefits. 

Workday is a holistic HR solution. 

The solution needs to be updated with generative UI. 

I have been working with the solution for three years. 

The solution is stable. 

Workday is very scalable, and my company has more than 50 users. 

Workday's installation is straightforward. 

We deployed the product in-house. 

I rate the product a nine out of ten.
