Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Some of the most valuable features are the onboarding experience of new employees, the employee service portal, and the entire performance management system.""It has the capability of reporting. We, as a business team, found it good. In fact, we migrated to PeopleStrong essentially because of its reporting feature.""The product has valuable flexibility for customization, user interface, and search capabilities.""PeopleStrong Alt is flexible because it allows customization and the user's experience is very good.""The UI and UX are fantastic.""The mobile responsiveness is strong.""The hiring process is good. It will create a process-oriented procedure in terms of hiring, promotion, the movement of people, and other related HR tasks."

More PeopleStrong Pros →

"There is a lot of scope for customization with this solution""Workday is a holistic HR solution.""Workday's best features are planning and finance.""The solution is extremely stable.""This product is leaps and bounds above the competition. Part of the reason is that it is built with modern technology. It has no legacy coding in it at all.""Workday is a secure product.""I would say that we have definitely seen a return on investment.""The software is easy to learn and use. When compared to SAP HR and SAP HCM, the tool is easy to access and understand. We have a hierarchy and structural connectivity in Workday. There is a certification for the solution and when we do it, we become the certified partners of the company"

Cons
"The solution's workflow can improve by adding more customization at the organizational level.""It would be helpful if you could work offline because sometimes, we have problems with internet connectivity.""They had challenges getting the performance management system up and integrated with our systems.""They could improve talent management capabilities.""They could include a sort of collaborative platform where employees are able to work together with a chat mechanism like WhatsApp and video chat.""Sometimes, we feel that we should have an API-based integration aspect.""The global scalability and support could improve."

More PeopleStrong Cons →

"It's possible that the way things are integrated could be improved""There were a lot of issues. There were consistency or accuracy issues with the data we had, and every time we had to pull reports in Workday, it was difficult.""The expenses and reimbursements module could be improved. Creating expense reports is time consuming and inefficient compared to other expense solutions.""The solution can be improved by speeding up the load time when pulling up information.""Workday does have a community site where people can go on and off for suggestions. They call them Brainstorms, and you can vote them up. That is something that they do well, but oftentimes, they seem to be racing to deliver something based on what a competitor is delivering. For example, if they hear SAP has this new functionality and learning that's going to be coming out, they prioritize there, which makes sense, but unfortunately, some of these Brainstorms may get neglected where the product might not be improved as quickly or as needed for the customers. You might be waiting for a year or two to get a feature that you'd like released. They should pay more attention to customer feedback and ensure that customer feedback is an essential part of their product roadmap.""Workday does not support many Korean language features. So, it will be great if they have some development on the Korean language side – then it will be really powerful in our market.""This solution could be improved by providing user-level access to customization capabilities. Users currently rely on more technical teams to customize reports, for example.""Workday would be improved with more API connectors."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It's very reasonably priced. It is paid per employee."
  • "The product has reasonable pricing."
  • "The pricing is reasonable."
  • More PeopleStrong Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "With a bigger budget, I would recommend SAP."
  • "Workday is an expensive solution."
  • "You have the license fee per module, and then you have a kind of annual training fee, which is a kind of add-on. I wouldn't say it is exhaustive; it is minor. Licensing is pretty transparent for most of the part."
  • "The pricing is good from an HR perspective, although management gets upset after spending $500,000 a year, every year."
  • "Its price is pretty high. It is more expensive than what is offered by other competitors in the market."
  • "It has an annual subscription rate, but I'm not sure how it will work."
  • "The pricing for this solution is fairly high. It is not affordable for small and mid-sized companies."
  • "By and large, Workday is expensive. It is based on the headcount. I'd probably rate it a three or four out of five in terms of pricing. It'd be like buying a Mercedes or a high-end car. It's expensive, but there's a specific value that you're getting with additional features and things of that nature. Using that metaphor, Workday probably tends to be more of a luxury. There are others like ADP that can do your payroll, your time off, and other things, but they don't do it as well."
