The real-time reporting and analytics are extremely helpful for quick decision-making. I also liked its cloud-based accessibility, which allows working from anywhere, and its strong integration capabilities with other business systems. > > **Cons**: The initial setup and implementation can be time-consuming and may require expert support. There is also a learning curve for new users, especially for advanced features. Additionally, the cost may be a bit high for small businesses. > > Overall, my experience with Workday Financial Management has been very good. It has streamlined financial processes, improved accuracy, and saved a lot of time through automation. Despite a few challenges during the initial phase, it proves to be a reliable and efficient solution for managing financial operations. ----- ### "Business Application that Works like it Should" — 5.0/5 > **Siamak** | *8 August 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great integration with Payroll and HCM modules. Complete suite of financial modules. User-friendly user interface. > > **Cons**: A better integration with Adaptive Planning would be helpful. Some Financial dashboards are not available out of the box. > > We have streamlined most of our Finance processes using Workday Financials. It has an easy-to-use interface with a strong back-end for customizing business processes. Easy to onboard and integrate new company acquisitions. Great APIs for billing integration with 3rd party applications. ----- ### "Let's Get Back on Track" — 3.0/5 > **Kristine** | *11 February 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: My favorite aspect of Workday Financials is the ability to drill down to transaction level within reports. This is a great feature. > > **Cons**: I feel as though over the years Workday has pushed functionality into Production too soon; in other words many of the features are, in my opinion, at about 80-90% complete. Prime example would be recurring journals. The idea behind this is genius, however the fact that there is no BP for recurring journal templates sort of negates the idea of allowing these journals to post without approvals (which I imagine is what most customers want, myself included). Another example would be amortizing prepaid schedule installments - how many years have customers been asking to have the ability to schedule installments out to a certain DATE instead of 'Accounting Date Days Ahead'? > > I love Workday, I really do. I work hard to show this system off and make our employees fall in love with it. That being said, the last few years have been ROUGH trying to defend this system and company. I couldn't be more thrilled to see \[sensitive content hidden\] out and \[sensitive content hidden\] back in the driver's seat. Workday has deviated far from their core values and the things that made me originally fall in love with this system 6 years ago. STOP messing with the search functionality. Get rid of "simplified search" or allow it to be turned on/off tenant-wide. Why is it when I type in 'start prox', the Start Proxy task is the 7th in the list returned? Things like this happen all the time and cost us all time. Very frustrating. STOP over-complicating your customer support model. This has caused us so many issues and grief over the past 2 years. We have not been able to keep track of all the things - functional review, optimization package, etc etc etc. We start one and months in are told that we selected the wrong thing. So frustrating\! STOP over-engineering Community. Please bring back Brainstorms. ----- ### "Great experience using workday" — 5.0/5 > **Patricia** | *27 January 2026* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: One of the features I liked the most on workday is the design . It breaks all categories into a list and you can click through. > > **Cons**: The con is that it can become confusing until you get the hang of it. I found the way to request paid time to be confusing. > > My overall experience with workday is a positive experience since I did become proficient in using it. I liked how user friendly it was. ----- ### "Workday Financials POV, almost 10 years of experience" — 5.0/5 > **Amanda** | *30 January 2026* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Lots of flexibility for custom rules/validations, lots of pre-built items available such as calculations and reports. Once you get the hang of your area and related cause/effect, becomes second nature on how to make related changes to align with your company's needs. > > **Cons**: Sometimes bugs come up that take longer to resolve than desired. They aren't often, but on the plus side, they do typically offer information on how to work around the bug while its resolution is in progress. > > After using Workday for fin management, I don't want to work with anything else, truly. After working (for a short period) with a mix of programs, then getting to move into Workday with my company, I can't imagine going back. Everything is in one place, can be easily located and acts as one source of truth. There is a lot less room for risk and less labor being spent zigzagging between sources to ensure everything aligns. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/52993/workday-financial-management?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/52993/workday-financial-management) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
