It is the only HR platform our company uses, and it does it all well, which is rare. Pros Most powerful and user-friendly HCM platform I have used. Easy reporting, intuitive navigation for our HR team. Cons The performance management section is not as intuitive as the other functionality but this might be a function of our implementation Switched from [SAP Business One](https://www.capterra.com/p/214667/SAP-Business-One/) SAP was antiquated and we needed to upgrade Review Source NM N'dea M. Human Resources Technician Utilities Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Condensed Our Platform Use" September 4, 2025 4.0 Overall it is a good experience. We were able to eliminate 11 platforms and have all of those functions in one. Pros The recruitment process can be initiated through HCM, collect and screen applications, interview, hire, and allow employees to have there own portal for self-service. Cons Customizable features and options that are specific to our organization can not be configured. Workday is good for basic processes, but when it comes to policies and regulations some features can not be added. Leaving us to complete processes manually. Switched from [SILKROAD ALM](https://www.capterra.com/p/162956/SILKROAD-ALM/) We switched for a more modern ATS and to enhance the applicants interactive experience. Review Source ES Eddy S.

Software Engineer Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Unbiased Opinion about Workday HCM" July 2, 2025 4.0 Although my overall experience with Workday HCM has been pretty good yet it needs to work on the cons that I mentioned to make the platform a better one. Also, I feel it has limited customization option. Pros The thing I like about workday is that it provides a variety of options for all HR related services in an organization and the language the platform uses is simple and easy to understand. I also provides tutorials for any operation(for the ones which need one). Also, it provides the option to integrate with a large number of other applications. Cons The platform tends to be very slow and non responsive at times which can be a little frustrating. The interface can seem a little complex and overwhelming at times. Review Source SM Shaunta M.

It is so great that we can use this application for our applicants and current employee's benefits, HR, payroll information! Cons It took some getting used to and a bit of a learning curve to find all the functionalities embedded into the application, but once this was ironed out, the ease of use greatly improved!

Review Source SE Sarah E. Instructional Designer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Generally good, but a bit tricky to learn and hard to integrate with other systems" January 8, 2025 4.0 Overall, I use Workday most days. Being able to find everything in one place is great, and the ability to run reports to check on training courses etc. is good. It is easy for the instructional designers to upload courses and track completions, and the HR team can run an array of different reports and control access to sensitive data. Pros We use Workday HCM at the moment, and it is very powerful, linking talent management, holidays, payroll and benefits. We recently merged systems with another company's systems, and this was tricky but worked well in the end. Cons I dislike the fact that Workday will time out annoyingly quickly if you are writing something like a staff review, losing your work irrevocably. I believe this may be a setting changeable by our IS team, but the cloud-based nature of Workday means that it can be fragile to bad connections etc. We have also not yet been able to integrate it into our ADP system for parts of the business, so some managers can't approve leave if their employee works in a different location. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Teaching Assistant Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simplified for HR, annoying for job searching" August 8, 2025 4.0 It's good for when you get the job; it's simple and streamlined, but that in turn makes it hard for when searching for jobs. Pros It has a good interface; it's simple to use and is good at streamlining a bunch of HR tasks like payroll and general contract stuff. Cons It can be annoying to use when searching for jobs; its search feature doesn't show much detail about each job and makes it so that you have to do a lot more looking than with other platforms.

I love how it allows me to streamline my processes when it comes to anything and everything when it comes to my employees. Pros It was so easy to use, I have never encountered an issue and it has never froze or bugged out like other software. It's also not too expensive. I have used workday products for years and it is one of my favorite HR tools. Cons I don't like that you can't change a requisition worker type without having to back all the way out basically and open a brand new requisition.

November 5, 2025 4.0 I'm glad we made the investment in Workday. I'm looking forward to taking advantage of features we have yet to implement.
