    It is perfect for inputing time sheets, time offs and expenses. It is hosted on the cloud, so accessible from anywhere, and even from mobile. It should nonetheless do just that, as it is not suited to track the work that you are doing or details about it. It is completely useless in that case.

    If you are a company with very little administrative or IT staff that can be dedicated to run, train, and launch - this is the perfect tool for you because it requires very little on the set up end and training. It looks like a social network so a platform many are already used to seeing. Its definitely a very powerful product with an easy interface, providing a stellar customer experience

    • It's so easy use & maintain.
    • Support team is really impressive, seem to know their product.
    • Reporting is a breeze.

    Cons
    Deltek | Replicon
    • Though the technical support staff are always very nice, sometimes they don't seem to understand exactly what the issue is based on our explanation. There have been several times when I've ended up solving the issue on my own without their assistance, despite numerous emails and phone calls. Could be a language barrier issue, perhaps they could receive more training in how companies are actually using the software on a daily basis.
    • Employee time sheets have to be approved by project managers and supervisors prior to my final approval. However, when viewing the time sheets in list form, there is no way for me to tell whether a time sheet has been approved by everyone else. I have to manually open each one and hover over the approver link. It would be helpful if there was a column in the list showing which approvers still need to approve it.
    • There have been a few times when time sheets were accidentally deleted by approvers. In order to retrieve them, we've had to contact Replicon support and have a backup instance of the information created. It would be great if perhaps there was some sort of archive or recently deleted section that could be accessed right away without having to go through Replicon support, a folder or something that would hold on to recently deleted files for a few days or a week just in case they needed to be retrieved.
    • Some of our projects have more than one project manager. Replicon currently allows for co-managers to be assigned to a project, but this status does not seem to include that co-manager in the approval of time sheets and expenses. We have had to manually create an approval path to include that second manager. It would be nice if co-managers would automatically be included in those approval paths.

    • Would like to be able to use it for clocking in and out
    • The dashboard user interface could be improved to include more pertinent information
    • Would be nice to hide features that we use other applications for (i.e. org chart, pay, expenses)

    With workday support options, I would like to see a more immediately responsive response option. Possibly a chat or a responsive email response team would be helpful.

    We used to track time on JIRA on the tickets. This was good enough for time tracking, but didn't integrate efficiently with accounting software, so accountants had to replicate manually the data from JIRA to their software in order to bill clients. Using Replicon made things much easier for them.

    I was not on the selection team for Workday Profession Services Automation; it was the HR system used by our parent company. However, I have had several opportunities to work with Workday in other HR roles, and have also worked extensively with Oracle products. Workday Professional Services Automation seems more dynamic than the Oracle Suite I've utilized in the past.

    • All in one platform great for businesses with locations across the country
    • We don’t use its learning/training features, or it doesn’t have, which would be nice
    • Reporting features are extensive and, though can be hard to figure out, there is clearly great capability there
