By far the best I have worked with in my HR career. Workday is not perfect, but it is the best HCM software that I have used. You can integrate almost every aspect of HR into one platform. The employee self service is easy to use.
Organization is key in any company, and being able to see and manage all
the information of your associates in a quick and secure platform
allows the HR personal and team leads alike to handle different
situations and activities, it shortens the time and need of meetings. In
a direct note, it allows me to have more accurate control of my team's feedback, it really softens my workload.
Pros
Organization
Speed
Features
Internal communication
Cons
Design wise it needs an upgrade on the looks
Some options bug constantly
Direct support should improve.
Likelihood to Recommend
If you want a friendly platform to allow all your peers to communicate
and share information this is a great option in the market, cloud and AI
implementation keep it on vanguard with others alike. Users will
understand and adapt quickly as it shares some utilities like in a
social media.

I use Workday for payroll. Workday Retro processing, Workday Community and Workday Training are all very challenging. Workday has no customer support.
Pros
The Workday payroll calculation process is relatively easy.
The Workday employee access is relatively easy.
The Workday continuous pay calculation is good.
Cons
The Workday Retro process is very challenging.
The Workday Community website is very challenging.
The Training products that Workday offers is expensive and not easy to access.
Likelihood to Recommend
Workday Cloud Platform is very challenging because you learn as you go along. That means making mistakes, figuring out how to correct them, figuring out how the process should be done going forward.
Workday is our organization's Human Resources application. We perform all the HR activities such as Personal Information view and update, Request references, Career, Performance, and Feedback request and receiving, Jobs and Referrals, etc on Workday as end-users.
Pros
Detailed Functionalities for HR Activities
In-app and email Notifications for activities pending
SSO logins for employees
Neat looking UI
Absence Management is very well defined
Cons
Search option is really difficult for some fields LOVs
Errors are not very clear sometimes and not easily understood how to resolve the same
No back button on pages are really a letdown
Notifications kept showing even after read (for weeks)
Likelihood to Recommend
Well suited for an enhanced number of use cases for the HRMS domain. Most of the HR activities can be easily achieved using the workday HCM application. It has a neat UI so well understandable. Absence management is quite good. Less appropriate for faster entry of data by end-users as lots of data needs to be entered for even some simple items. Errors are not always easily understood and take lots of time to resolve.

In any organization, a HCM software is required to track and manage its workforce. Unlike other HCM software, Workday is much more capable than just tracking and managing the organization’s workforce. At the company, Workday is utilized as the main portal for all employees, whether it is for compensation to retrieve payslips, benefits for benefits election, reimbursement, or even absence to request time-off and leave. On the other hand, from the HR side, Workday allows the HR team to retrieve any data that is needed and critical to the business at anytime via report writer. For instance the number of employees in each department or the total amount of reimbursement for each department. Workday also supports the creation, edit, and deletion of new supervisory organization (team, region, company, etc) and allow the admins to easily perform changes to employee data to accurately keep track of employee data so that it is most up-to-date.
Pros
Workday is easy-to-use for end-users due to its simple interface.
Workday can be unlimitely configure by the Workday team in order to meet the critical business needs (e.g. approval flows, business rules, validations, etc.)
Easily and accurately track and maintain employee data.
Easily allow the HR team to pull data and information through report writer.
Workday Studio allows Workday to be integrated with other platforms, leading to automation and time-savings using Workday as the main source of truth.
Cons
Even though Workday is easy-to-use for end-user, negative feedback on Workday generally revolve around the interface that doesn't look modern.
Even through Workday allows unlimited configuration, learning one Workday module can take up to 2 years. Workday configuration is not as simple as other HCM softwares.
Even though Workday provides learning course, it is extremely expensive.
Even though Workday has Workday Support to support errors, issues, and bugs on Workday, Workda Supports tend to be kind of slow when compared to other softwares support.
Workday is extremely expensive when compared to other HCM softwares.
Likelihood to Recommend
In my opinion, I believe that Workday is probably the best HCM software in the world right now. As mentioned, Workday allows unlimited configuration. For example, Workday allows the configuration of a time-off plan that should only be visible to a certain set of employees (e.g. Singapore employees). Moreover, the absence eligibility rule that is configurable even allows to segregate those Singaporean employees further, for example, if they are 25 - 30 years old, they are eligible for 15 days AL, on the other hand, if they are 30 or above, 20 days of AL. All of these are capable through Workday HCM.
I don't think Workday is not well-suit or not appropriate on any circumstances. In the past, I have used software like Eagle and Opera which is on a different level when compared to Workday. If I have to comment anything negative, as mentioned prior, Workday is difficult to learn. In order to master a module, it could take up to 2 years. From the scenario above, if someone has no experience on Workday at all, it would take them at least 6 months of Workday learning in order to configure the scenario mentioned above.

Workday Cloud Platform is used by the entire organization for track, manage and integrate employee information with other software and systems in the organization. It makes the life easier for both the employees and management by bringing all the human capital management tasks in a single interface. We can fill timesheets, check our payroll and investment declarations, apply for leaves, nominate colleague for rewards and give recommendations and shout outs. It is also integrated with our recruitment platform so that all human capital related information is captured at a single place.
Pros
Clean and intuitive interface
Ability to create surveys to gauge employee sentiment and then also able to analyze the responses in a presentable manner
Ability to analyze all the employee data right from recruitment to performance appraisals and then using cutting edge Machine Learning to predict and recommend personalized learning paths for each employee
Cons
Machine Learning along with Natural Language Processing can be used to classify different tasks into categories required by the organizations. This will help people to prioritize tasks in the inbox without spending a lot of time sifting through it.
User interface should have been customizable so that one can customize at least some of the elements on the interface
Pricing is very high for a medium sized organization to afford
Likelihood to Recommend
Workday Cloud Platform is primarily suited for large organizations with individual teams handling various Human Resource functions. Since the data is scattered, Workday is an excellent tool to bring all the data to a single platform and then use Machine Learning techniques to generate both descriptive and prescriptive insights to make sure the skillset portfolio remains updated.
It is being majorly used as a people management platform for us. All the important pages ranging from personal profile to learning are linked from it. Is it also used to assign company-related tasks like any mandatory training, form filling up, etc. Workday is also responsible for the onboarding of an employee, as all data needs to be filed and verified. Primarily, we are using pages like my profile, my learning, holidays, claims, etc. It is like a go-to page for all activities and helps a lot. We are also using it for partial time tracking. Why I say partially is because we are only tracking leaves in this application and a different one is used to actual report time. All in all, it is a pretty easy-going application without too much complexity.
Pros
Easy UI
No complex navigation
Fast functioning
Cons
Adding too much functionality on the same page can make it difficult to read.
Some time 3rd party links required cache clearing.
Favorites tab got wiped out twice.
Likelihood to Recommend
I would say the current scenario in which I am using this application is well suited. It could be very well used as the center stage for hosting links for all other major applications/software. It is extremely user-friendly and easy to use for even a new user. Its notification feature can be used effectively for urgent or important tasks.

Workday Cloud Platform is primarily used to integrate multiple and varied processes across human talent management department at our organization. However, it is widely used by all employees for various day to day tasks e.g. payroll, annual reviews, performance management, and employee profile management. Overall it is one stop solution for human resource management at our firm.
Pros
Integration of varied processes
Data privacy management
User friendly interface
Cons
Simple tasks e.g. printing of key documents is very convoluted in Workday
We expect more options to sort tasks in inbox
Dashboards are rare and again very crowded. More informative dashboards will be good
Likelihood to Recommend
The platform is extremely well suited to combine and integrate talent management processes on one interface. However, it definitely needs simpler ways to perform key tasks eg. printing of documents or sorting inbox, etc... Overall it is a very useful product for large and multi-national organizations with employees spread across the globe.
Workday Cloud Platform is used by the complete organization. Being a huge organization Workday helps to maintain everything related to the employee right from his joining to his exit. It also maintains yearly activities like performance appraisals, manager evaluations, address changes, project transfers, compensation details and history and much more. Workday is the key database for an employee as well as a manager.
Pros
maintain performance appraisals
maintain compensations
maintain manager history
maintain employee personal details
Cons
Process Flow can be simplified
Profile page needs huge improvement
Employee Dashboard is required
Likelihood to Recommend
Workday is used by the complete organization for maintaining data. t is best suited to look for any employee and get his skillset details. It helps managers to adjudge an employee before taking into his account/project. It is less apt for maintaining personal information especially leaves. It lacks a centralised database to maintain leaves and daily time entry.
