We performed a comparison between ADP Streamline and Workday based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Benefits Administration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The advantage was that ADP Streamline was inherently designed to serve as a marketing engine for the company."
"The most valuable feature was that everything was in one system."
"They are very strong in terms of having a central regional system. A regional person can see and monitor the calendar for each different country."
"I like the reporting feature as it allows me to generate reports independently without relying on a payroll consultant."
"Workday's best features are planning and finance."
"Workday is easy to use. Timesheet and resource management are also easy."
"I would say that we have definitely seen a return on investment."
"Performance and good usability are the two most valuable features of this solution."
"We have fewer systems, less manual data entry, and less processing."
"It's easy to set up."
"It stores everything for the employee. It has also been able to store the information that we use for our payroll demand."
"I like that it's easy to use and flexible."
"Having more clear guidance on design and training would be beneficial."
"I think there is a need for a deeper level of comprehension."
"They could improve the service relationship manager (SRM), because they have an SRM which is not familiar with Simple."
"The UI could be improved to be a bit more modern or trendy because it looks old-fashioned compared to other systems."
"The UI, UX (user experience) is very bad. It is not very interactive."
"Workday does have a community site where people can go on and off for suggestions. They call them Brainstorms, and you can vote them up. That is something that they do well, but oftentimes, they seem to be racing to deliver something based on what a competitor is delivering. For example, if they hear SAP has this new functionality and learning that's going to be coming out, they prioritize there, which makes sense, but unfortunately, some of these Brainstorms may get neglected where the product might not be improved as quickly or as needed for the customers. You might be waiting for a year or two to get a feature that you'd like released. They should pay more attention to customer feedback and ensure that customer feedback is an essential part of their product roadmap."
"For time management, it does not have a calendar generator. For example, if you want to have a shift calendar for an entire year, you need to push the entire year's calendar into the system instead of being able to generate it using a time management pattern."
"It is very unique as compared to other tools in terms of the employee master data and how it is organized. That's why sometimes the information needs to sit in two different systems because, in Workday, it is organized differently. This issue is not related to benefits. It is more or so related to how you categorize employees. I don't think this is a problem that could be solved. Workday is aware of this. It is one of those kinds of situations that you just got to live with."
"The implementation could have gone a little smoother."
"Workday would be improved with more API connectors."
"Analytical tools have needed improvement. Workday has just released Prism Analytics, to replace the current analytical tools, so it’s in the early stages."
"This solution could be made easier to use by continuing to release new improvements."
