What are the biggest differences between Salesforce and Workday?
I work as a senior project manager for a non-profit.
Does anyone have experience onboarding from Salesforce and Workday? How do these solutions compare to each other? Is there another solution you would recommend?
@Valon I suggest you submit a new question asking about the differences between successfactors and workday. Best if you provide a bit of context - you'll get better answers that way!

Hi Valon
Besides the fact that both are extremely sophisticated SaaS there is nothing in common in terms of product. Salesforce is a CRM system and Workday an HCM and ERP system.
If you want to establish comparisons "apple to apple" I would recommend to compare Salesforce against Oracle Sales/Marketing cloud, SAP and Microsoft Dynamics 365
On the Workday side I would compare it with:
a) HCM - Oracle , Bamboo HR, ADP workforce Now, Ascentis and SAP HCM
b) ERP - Oracle ERP cloud, Netsuite (owned by Oracle), SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Sage.
Hope this helps
Workday is more geared towards human capital management and salesforce is more geared towards CRM. Depends on what you need.

correction: please read successfactors instead of salesforce (typo/autocorrect)
