    Workday product lives up to our high expectations, particularly for scale M&A activity

    5.0
    Jul 3, 2026
    Now half way through our second five year licence period, having just completed a complex 1,100 FTE, 14 country and 17 entity migration to Workday. Could not be happier with our renewal decision, the product and the way the migration went. We are now full platform, 7,500 employees in the US, UK, India, Philippinnes, Lithuania and further extension into EMEA and APAC. Our renewal was predicated on proven scalable product features and integration-ready nature; we were able to expand the functionality into new areas (payroll partnership where non-native, use of banking-as-a-service) to marry up a talented Workday savvy team on the acquisition side with strong, wider SaaS/ERP talent on the acquiror side to great effect. This leveraged Workday adoption at a rate that has surprised even us.

Dislike

The navigation tools and customization options are behind. It also has not been and simple to implement as initially promised, with many items still lagging months after our implementation was supposed to be finished. Creating any customized field feels like a hassle with many hoops to jump through. Finding reports and specific items is also difficult with everything relying on a search bar. I think that Workday is rolling out improvements in these areas, but it is easy to tell the financial side was not built first on their platform.
