Things are not well grouped in folders or spaces to ensure differentiation. > > Overall, it is a good tool for managing a lot of workers/employees and it make it easy to standardize expectation across multiple departments ----- ### "Platform Manager Preference" — 5.0/5 > **Amy** | *January 30, 2026* | Financial Services Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It covers everything we need. And what it doesn't cover, we can connect easily to another solution. > > **Cons**: There are a lot of add-ons that you have to have to make it all work sometimes. This can be prohibitive of keeping a solution all in one place without spending significantly more than anticipated. > > There isn't a system that I could imaging supporting and advocating for in our organization. I spent 20+ years in HR sometimes with 20+ systems. Now, with Workday, we may have a few others outside of Workday, but we can keep the number reasonable, manageable and when needed - talk directly to Workday on enhancements. ----- ### "Fortunately" — 5.0/5 > **Ryan** | *February 20, 2026* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Everything is centrally located I can also easily pull records and pay history. I am fortunate that I have something like this available for tracking purposes ----- ### "Caveat Emptor" — 3.0/5 > **Mike** | *January 8, 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: Workday is a robust platform with exceptional features with a good look and feel for the end user along with a virtual sandbox to test updates before they go live. > > **Cons**: I our case, customer support was through a third party as we were "not large enough to get support directly" through Workday HCM. That third party used a case system. Though we could assign a level of priority based on our needs, the third party could lessen the priority level causing excessive delays for immediate needs. > > Workday was not designed for mid-size enterprise businesses. The service was lacking and the support from Workday, directly, was spotty. ----- ### "One Place for all your Enterprise needs" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *January 30, 2026* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Unified HR data for global workforce management AI-driven talent and skills management tools Integrated payroll with real-time analytics Configurable workflows and business processes Powerful reporting and predictive analytics Employee self-service and mobile accessibility > > **Cons**: Complex navigation and frequent updates can slow user adoption as they don't have all the resources to catchup with the updates and latest technologies. ----- Page: 1 / 71\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/90783/workday-hcm?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/90783/workday-hcm) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
