The APIs provided by Workday provide all of the tools required to automate and integrate with local systems in real-time. The structure of these services can be a bit clunky - while it looks like they are working on REST implementations, the bulk of the work still needs to be done using SOAP APIs. That said, with a little bit of effort, there is very little this hosted solution provides that cannot be handled through their APIs, making powerful automation and custom solutions possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I mentioned the SOAP services - I actually don't automatically see this as a downside. While they have gone out of vogue in favor of REST APIs, I've always found SOAP straightforward to work with. However, there are a couple of downsides. First off, support for SOAP is slowly going away in modern platforms (.Net Core, for example, is missing some key elements for full support of WS-Security). Second, the services offered by Workday are ENORMOUS. As a result, some automated code gen tools (notably Visual Studio's "Add Service Reference" function) can get overwhelmed by the size. I found that after adding certain Workday WSDLs in Visual Studio, the IDE slowed and eventually crashed when trying to look at the generated code.

Finally, while there is extensive documentation for these services, it is often not very useful. A field might be labeled as needing to be a valid id type, but give no indication as to what the possible valid id types are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can see my reviews (as well as manager if the setting alllows) to track my goals and improvements throughout the year/quarter. All of the reviews are in one place and makes them easily comparable. I also like that you can customize your dashboard based on what your companies need is. There is also a "give feedback feature" where you can post positive experiences with coworkers on their profile for the company to recognize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The down side is not being able to make your feedback private to certain individuals, it always is seen by manager, hiring manager, director, etc where I think sometimes the feedback is beneficial if only that person knows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
