Reviewer Insights for: Workday Financial Management

Workday Financial Management Likes & Dislikes

Like

It offers detailed, flexible reporting features, helping to drill down into financial data and manage budgets effectively. Features like attaching documents to invoices and journal entries support a move towards paperless office operations. The software integrates well with other Workday modules and supports automation of various financial workflows. It offers efficient process automation, that reduces manual work and paper use, especially for high-volume financial operations

Like

Somewhat consolidates finance, HR and other core-business functions into a cloud-based solution. Its ability to track any and all changes made by the user or system.

Like

One of the best features is its intuitive interface that helps users easily navigate dashboards and pull reports. Integration with HR functions helps increase collaboration across departments and reduce inefficiencies.

Dislike

Its difficult to navigate in the system, especially when searching for specific reports or taks, which often requires users to remember specific, abbreviated names. The reporting function can be slow to load, and you may encouter pop-ups asking if you would like to be notified when a report becomes available, which adds unnecessary steps and delays to the workflow. Occasional performance slowdowns when handling large data sets or multiple users simultaneously

Dislike

You can search for anything, but it's hard to find something. It requires a lot of end user training in order to be able to properly navigate its different features and reports so one tends to spend a lot of time looking for simple things such as specific expense reports, journal entries, vendor payments, etc.

Dislike

For instance, sometimes the platform can be overwhelming for new users and the new system can slow down onboarding. Better training material can help with transitioning into a new platform.
