"The platform is on a private cloud that is fully secure with no way for hacker penetration."
"It is a scalable solution."

"The most valuable feature to me is performance management because we just started using that."
"Workday is highly intuitive from a customer experience perspective. It was effortless for us to understand what to do even though we didn't have any related training. It was easy to use without guidance."

"When I'm not working with the implementation team and I'm just talking to customer service or something, they're just not a lot of help. They don't understand how it works. They'll tell you to do something that I know would affect something else. So, it's less about the software and more about just training their folks to a higher level."

"The report functionality is not as good as competitive products."
"Its benefits portal could be user-friendly."
"The ease of developing and creating reports could definitely use some improvement."

"There is a lot of complexity in the configuration of this solution."
"The price could be lower."
"The security console should be made less complex."
"The user interface could be better. Everything else was fine."

"The UI, UX (user experience) is very bad. It is not very interactive."
