"Intuitive and Unified Platform, Yet Complex for New Users"
5/5
What do you like best about Workday HCM?

I like how Workday HCM is intuitive with a modern interface. Everything being on one unified platform is really convenient. The self-service portal is amazing, and the real-time analytics and dashboards are super helpful. The mobile app is great for solving on-the-go problems. I also appreciate how it integrates well with other tools like Microsoft Teams, LinkedIn Recruiting, financials team, and benefit providers. The setup was pretty streamlined, and I didn't encounter many issues. Overall, I'd rate it 10/10 because it's great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday HCM?

The system is very powerful but can feel complex for new users and managers; training takes time. It's flexible but building reports often requires extra help or better technical abilities. Simpler navigation, more intuitive reporting, and a better mobile experience are needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5
What do you like best about Workday HCM?

Workday HCM excels by blending a user-centric UI/UX with powerful AI-driven intelligence that automates complex workforce planning and talent insights. Its seamless integrations and high-speed performance create a unified source of truth, ensuring a massive ROI through streamlined operations. Furthermore, their world-class support and onboarding programs ensure that organizations can scale effectively while maximizing the platform's full technical potential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday HCM?

While Workday is powerful, its UI/UX can feel overly rigid and click-heavy for complex administrative tasks, making the learning curve steeper than expected. The Pricing model remains a significant hurdle for mid-sized firms, and while Integrations are robust, they often require specialized technical expertise to implement correctly. Additionally, Support response times can be slow during major updates, which can temporarily impact system Performance and user adoption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined Employee Management, Needs Recruitment Flexibility"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Workday HCM?

I like Workday HCM because it allows me to organize everything and keep everything on track. I appreciate that it lets me manage both recruitment and people administration matters all in one place, which is great because it avoids duplication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday HCM?

I think Workday HCM from a recruitment perspective could be a little bit improved. Compared to other ATSs, it might fall a bit behind. For instance, when it comes to moving candidates to specific stages, it's not so flexible. It doesn't let us move a candidate back to the old stage once they've been advanced. In that regard, it feels a bit complicated and clunky. The features are also not very user-friendly sometimes when it comes to recruitment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined HR with Real-Time Insights"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Workday HCM?

I like the one-system experience with Workday HCM, which gives me the flexibility of not having to reconcile records between multiple systems or sources for reports and analytics on workforce and HR management. I appreciate its real-time report pulling capability because, unlike looking at a snapshot from yesterday, it allows anytime data pulling to view real data at that moment. For instance, if a manager approves a leave for an employee at noon, and I pull the report at 12:01, it shows that update right away. I also find the initial setup not so cumbersome, and it is great overall to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday HCM?

I would say some simple tasks like updating an address for example have multiple menus/pop-ups. I think this could be improved to a more straightforward approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4.5/5

What do you dislike about Workday HCM?

The user interface sometimes can be slow to respond. It confuses at times whether we have clicked the right button. I have not used Workday HCM iPhone app but similar issues persist on Andrioid apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes Workday HCM has limitations on what you can do based upon your role or title in the system. As a manager, I sometimes have less visibility into my downstream team-members than I did as their direct supervisor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
