It was very user friendly and a convenient way to track work related information ----- ### "5stars for Workday" — 5.0/5 > **Shawn** | *18 February 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like using Workday because of the ease of use from the app. It makes reporting my time at the end of the week so much easier than in the past that payroll is never delayed. > > **Cons**: Sometimes when signing back into the app I may experience some bugs or issues. But honestly that may just be my cell phone service. > > I love using Workday. Easy user experience. You can track your time, plan vacation days with knowing what your PTO balance will be for the time you are requesting. Also, it makes your yearend reviews so much easier. ----- ### "A great tool for employee and human ressource" — 5.0/5 > **Vincent** | *26 March 2026* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It’s a very powerful tool to track employees timesheet, performance, objectives and progression in the company. > > **Cons**: The user interface, even if it was improved in the last few years, still needs improvement. I think they should hire UI designer with experience to fix it once for all. > > It’s been great, we’ve been using it for years at my job and it has offered us everything we need for the employees ----- ### "Workday HCM Makes Everything Better and Continues to be a Game Changer" — 5.0/5 > **Rick** | *30 January 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Having previous experience at companies that utilized multiple systems integrated together where we had to manage multiple integration error logs and such I really love that Workday HCM is a truly "core" product that brings all the modules HR, Onboarding, Payroll, Benefits, etc. together into a single system. Also, like that there is a reporting component built into the product so that as we configure new features we can also report on them. Also, it is beneficial in that it is translated/translatable so it can be used globally and also has a mobile interface so users can utilize it via a mobile device. > > **Cons**: During the early stages of Workday I was not sure I was going to like it as coming from multiple platforms that was familiar with to a way more robust single platform was a learning curve and initially thought that Workday was very vanilla in that certain basic things did not seem configurable, but over the past few years Workday has become 2nd nature as have become more familiar with the product and the Workday Product team has continued to listed to customers on Workday Community and enhance the product to make it better. > > Workday has really grown on me and continues to evolve and get better. I do not see any other platforms out there (Oracle HCM, SuccessFactors, etc) that perform like Workday does or are investing and taking the strides that Workday is currently taking. I see Workday as "best in class". Is it perfect - no, but my experience continues to get better with each release. ----- ### "Great Platform" — 4.0/5 > **Ricky** | *3 March 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of use for users to view multiple facets of their employment, including payroll, learning, benefits, and personal data.qq > > **Cons**: Sometimes navigation is not very intuitive, and the learning curve can be steep. If you figure it out, the tools are very useful. > > As a user, I have felt more connected with HR management, especially when they create a "ticket," and you can see what steps are taken to get my issue resolved.
