Workday Extend Reviews & Product Details

I like Workday Extend for creating custom applications effortlessly. The combination of AI with a strong engine to build tailored apps and UI makes it very powerful for us. The AI developer feature and direct connection to Workday data are invaluable, simplifying the custom application development process. The initial setup was easy and seamless, which was a great relief. Also, considering how unique it is, there isn't any other comparable product on the market.

It's kind of challenging to keep up with all the newest functionality because they have matured the product so quickly. Also, considering change management processes alongside custom applications development in Workday could really enhance user adoption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can customize apps within Workday to meet our business needs. If Workday can’t provide a process we need, I can extend it. We’re configuring legal hold orders so we can track them for our employees, and we’re preparing a talent application because Workday’s development plan doesn’t meet our business needs.

I found the initial setup pretty complicated. I don’t know of other issues at this time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our organization has built customized process flows in Workday Extend that aren’t available natively in Workday’s current BP framework, including connecting tasks that can’t natively be used as sub-business processes. This has streamlined tasks for our union payroll team. The ability to create custom pages that look like Workday with their own built-in logic has eased the user experience.

We need an easier way to build Workday Extend using a native language that doesn’t rely on development language knowledge. The initial setup wasn’t easy. Our organization hired external resources to build our three Extend applications while we were implementing Workday, and my internal resource is now learning Extend and the programming language used in our Extend applications.

I like the flexibility Workday Extend provides to create a custom experience within the Workday platform. It's great not having to switch to a different software from a user's standpoint, which makes it a nice and intuitive experience. The single sign-on and seamless connectivity to standard Workday data are really convenient, keeping everything up-to-date and in sync in real-time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it challenging that the extend data objects or business objects aren't fully exposed to reporting. We can create some reports, but it’s not possible to report on everything. Additionally, some of the standard features or objects in Workday Extend lack the usual features that Workday itself offers. For example, when there's a display grid, it isn't easily filterable or sortable like a normal Workday grid. Also, the initial setup was pretty complicated; our mass vacation bidding software project took nine months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate being able to build new interfaces, business processes, and services when Workday doesn’t natively provide the capability we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t like that Extend exists outside the native product. Even when an Extend business process extends the Worker object, the BP steps don’t behave the same way as other Worker business processes. For example, a Review Document step doesn’t add the document to Worker Docs, and the BP event doesn’t appear in Worker History. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Workday Extend lets us create custom business processes that meet our needs instead of making our processes fit existing ones. Both developers and business users can use it, and I feel like we’re only limited by our creativity—we can create whatever we can think of. The initial setup was fairly simple.

I think Workday Extend works well, but I’d like more resources to help customers get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Extend gives us the ability to do "built in" instead of "bolt on" or on the side development for our workday space. carries the same security along, etc. So built in the Workday platform gives us a lot of advantages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The battle between IT and functional teams on who can do Extend development will continue for us based on this product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With Extend we can create fully optimized solutions running natively in Workday that are tailored to our business needs. This allows us to make greater use of the core platform, in turn delivering more value for our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Workday Extend can be inflexible at times with UI/UX options. Nothing prevents building a functional application, but it might not look exactly how we want it to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Art of the possible. No software gets you all the way home, it has to work for your business vs the other way around. Extend gives you the opportunity to create custom experiences and workflows that fit into the way you doing business vs you trying to fit your flow in the proverbial "box" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
