"Good integration capabilities and extensibility."
"The Talent Acquisition and Headhunting features are good."
"It is easy to use. Requisition management and pre-screening are the two most valuable features."
"The stability of the solution is good."

"Workday's best features are planning and finance."
"The solution is extremely stable."
"The platform itself is very robust and I generally like the reporting and analytics capability."

"I would say that we have definitely seen a return on investment."
"It helps the users to enroll for the benefits automatically and update their life events without the involvement of HR individuals or back-office staff. It enables a person to take action on their own. It reduces the administrative burden on HR and puts the ownership on the person that is going through the life event, whether it is having a child, taking a leave of absence, or something else. There are easy ways to integrate Workday with your common benefits. At least in the USA, it can be integrated with common benefits providers such as Fidelity, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, etc. It has got a connector that is able to connect with the vendor or the third party to which you are trying to send the eligibility file. It basically allows us to automate or set up the tool, and the integration with the provider is a lot quicker than competing tools. When it comes to reporting on just eligibility and SLSA, it is a lot more user-intuitive. Depending on the purpose of what you are doing, you can grant security rights or roles, for example, you can control whether someone is a benefits administrator doing an independent audit. Workday makes it very easy to do that. It significantly simplifies the reporting process."
"It's intuitive, a very usable tool and it's easy to find the data you're looking for."
"I don't see very valuable features in this product because it has an old way of interpreting ATS. It should be more flexible in managing datasets and data searches. The screening data is a long process in Taleo."
"There are always going to be little caveats here and there that you might not have known about as far as changes are concerned, however, it's not business-oriented to the point where the business shuts down."
"The bulk recruitment feature does not work well."
"In terms of Oracle Taleo as a product, there are a lot of things which can be developed; most feedback which I have heard from customers is about the dashboard and the home page, both of which are quite basic."
"Lacks some systems that we need."
"It would be ideal if we could integrate the solution with Olympia. It would be helpful if we could add another support desk for an IT person. It would be great if the product was more interdisciplinary and could include IT."
"The pricing could be improved."
"They could provide a web chatbot feature in the dashboard for Workday."
"The implementation could have gone a little smoother."
"The solution can be improved by speeding up the load time when pulling up information."
"The cost of Workday is certainly not inexpensive. It's very pricey."
"The finance module of this solution is not great and needs improvement."
"There were a lot of issues. There were consistency or accuracy issues with the data we had, and every time we had to pull reports in Workday, it was difficult."
"There is a lot of complexity in the configuration of this solution."
"My only suggestion might be to include a brief description of any new fields we introduce, making it easier for people to use them. Perhaps this is something they can consider implementing."
