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 ----- ### "The Most User Friendly HR System\!" — 5.0/5 > **Cameron** | *February 25, 2026* | Financial Services Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Workday is a very user friendly HR interface, and allows me easy access when it comes to booking my annual leave, submitting overtime requests when work has been completed out of hours, reviewing my benefits packages and ensuring all of my emergency contacts are up to date. It is the most comprehensive, detailed and straightforward HR system I have personally used, and I wholeheartedly recommend it as a user, and I imagine it is very straight forward to administrate as well given how easy to navigate it is. > > **Cons**: It is very hard to be negative / suggest improvements about workday, but I would say the one thing stopping it from being a complete user friendly system is the lack of customisation, for example there is no ability to set your own theme / colour code certain things which may cause accessibility issues for some people. Seeing this implemented would be nice but it is not a necessary addition. > > Workday is a very complete HR system which I have had the pleasure of using first hand as a user, and I'm very satisfied by it's features, how easy to navigate it is, and how easy it is to update any personal information I need to. I would wholeheartedly recommend workday to a business looking for a reliable HR system having experienced using it as a user, it is so complex in it's features but also seamless to navigate which makes it a great detailed system. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Useful and Resourceful" — 4.0/5 > **Mitchell** | *March 18, 2026* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really enjoy Workdays user interface. It makes the process for payroll schedule submissions and career development reviews easier and well organized. The layout is perfect for reporting and HR management. > > **Cons**: They don't have a dark mode option, everything is so bright on screen by default. Need more user options for employees to co create task list rather permissions. > > Overall experience is fairly great. I would rate it from four out of five as applications can become more developed. Wasn't able to find a Salesforce integration unless I missed it but would be nice to integrate with such enterprise tools as well as CRM integrations for full panel summary of everything like Tableau does. ----- 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
