"The platform itself is very robust and I generally like the reporting and analytics capability."
"Workday's best features are planning and finance."
"I like its UI and UX. When we were using Oracle or SAP, the UI/UX wasn't very user-friendly for the employees."
"We have fewer systems, less manual data entry, and less processing."
"There is a lot of scope for customization with this solution"
"Not user friendly."
"One issue with the product is because it build on a lot of older technologies, there is a substantial technical debt in the system."
"It should be made a little bit more user friendly. When I complete my implementation and hand it over to the clients or the person who will operate it on a day-to-day basis, they find it a little bit difficult because they are not from a highly qualified IT background. I want Oracle to make it a little bit more user friendly."
"Oracle is easy to implement at a new organization like ours, but it might be more challenging for an established organization with more rules and policies in place."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Areas for improvement would be that sometimes it's a bit rigid with customization and doesn't always facilitate region-specific requirements."
"The operations could be better, specifically for manufacturing processes."
"The system has bugs, is not user friendly, and requires too much customization."
"I would really like to see a more robust timekeeping solution in Workday. Currently, most organizations are using Kronos for timekeeping and Workday for HR data. They then integrate Workday with Dimensions to manage time-related activities and payroll processing."
"The solution can be improved by speeding up the load time when pulling up information."
"In a future release we could like to have access to asset, supply and treasury management functionalities."
"It is good that much of the development is based on community input but often that can lead to details being ignored and small, nagging issues are ignored."
"There is a lot of complexity in the configuration of this solution."
"The user interface could be better. Everything else was fine."
"They don't offer any backend database access. This is one limitation that I found in this product. Workday hasn't opened up about what kind of database they are into, which can make it easy for the technical team to emulate issues. It would be good if they can offer backend access to the technical team. It would be helpful if they can also provide a Troubleshooting Guide that we can use to troubleshoot issues. When we have an issue, there are very limited resources to refer to."
"In terms of reporting, we have to rely on a consultant to do the report customization. The most important thing is to be able to do your own reporting, which it can't do. We rely so much on our consultant to customize reports for us."
