Has good performance and usability but it is missing certain functionalities
Pros and Cons
  • "Performance and good usability are the two most valuable features of this solution."
  • "It has missing functionalities. Specific countries, like Germany, didn't have the option to do payroll. Now we need to look for another product for HR."

What is most valuable?

Performance and good usability are the two most valuable features of this solution. 

What needs improvement?

It has missing functionalities. Specific countries, like Germany, didn't have the option to do payroll. Now we need to look for another product for HR. Then it becomes complicated because then it takes time to integrate. The workforce management also needs improvement. 

In the next release, I would like a complete full-stack for HR, especially payroll abilities in all countries. At a high-level, this solution has everything else that is needed. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I used Workday for around two to three years before I left my company.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It's very stable. We haven't had big problems with it.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's absolutely scalable. It's a cloud solution, it's built for scalability. This product is built for the cloud which is why it's extremely scalable. 

How are customer service and support?

Customers said that they have a good knowledge-base community. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was easy. It's on the cloud, so you just set how many users you need and they activate it and that's it. 

The setup normally takes around a week. The time it takes depends on the technicalities and functionalities. 

What other advice do I have?

I would rate Workday a seven out of ten. No software would get a ten because there is no existing software on the market that is perfect.

A stable and scalable solution, but it could be more user-friendly, have an easier installation and faster technical support response time
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is stable."
  • "The solution should be more user-friendly."

What is our primary use case?

I am not at liberty to share our use cases. 

What needs improvement?

The implementation time should be addressed, as it is too slow. Also, the solution should be more user-friendly. 

The installation is time-consuming and not so straightforward. 

So too, technical support is not sufficiently fast. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Workday for a couple of years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable.

How are customer service and technical support?

We have had experience with technical support and it could be faster. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Prior to using the solution, we made use of Oracle. This was around four or five years ago. 

How was the initial setup?

The installation is not so straightforward and could be faster. 

Its duration depends on the model one is using and can range from three to six months. 

What about the implementation team?

We made use of a consultant. 

What other advice do I have?

The solution is cloud-based.

Our organization has 1,000 people making use of the solution. 

I would recommend the solution to others, owing to its stability.

I rate Workday as a seven out of ten.
