    Centralised HR Processes Enhance Data Integrity and Efficiency Across Organisations

    4.0
    Mar 20, 2026
    I have used this product in two organisations that I have worked in and had great results all round. As a governance specialist, it allows for a focus on the integrity of data. It has contributed to a culture of good practice throughout our HR processes and has allowed us to centralise processes, whereas previously we were reliant on very manual and clunky ones.

    Mar 12, 2026
    The platform provides a highly secure and auditabke foundation for our government ERP needs. Integrating its cloud architecture with our established on-premises Microsoft environments requires administrative effort, but the system is reliable, and robust APIs allow for effective management and automation.

    Integrated HR and Finance Offer Convenience but Come With Steep Learning Curve

    4.0
    Apr 2, 2026
    My experience with Workday has been positive but not without its challenges. Workday is an all-in-one platform that covers HR, payroll, and finance, which is great from a consolidation standpoint, but it takes considerable time and effort to fully understand and get comfortable with.

    HR Task Management Is Streamlined While Accounting Features Remain Limited

    4.0
    Mar 12, 2026
    I have mostly used it for company's HR related tasks and Accounting tasks. For HR related tasks I have found it easy to access. For accounting related task, there is a need for more options like we have in other ERPs, it is quite simple.

Reviewer Insights for: Workday Platform
Performance of Workday Platform Across Market Features

Workday Platform Likes & Dislikes

Like

what I like most about the work day platform that it architectural integrity having single security model and unified data core for HR Finance and planning has improved our data accuracy Um second thing is the the recently roll out work day illuminate the AI agents have transit in our HR team tactically the strategy analysis and and so on Also we used work day extend that is to build highly specific internal workflows for our I mean to integrate our systems.

Like

Data integrity is key, Workday allows us to have all data in one place and processes to run smoothly from that. Previously, we used a combination of platforms and internal manual processes that weren't efficient, Workday allows us to be more efficient. It also allows us to obtain analytics to inform decisions and reporting which has been useful from a transparency perspective. It has also helped in access requests, where previously data discovery had to be done manually in all different areas, now only gets pulled from Workday as the main HR data suppository.

Like

- comprehensive audit trails and reporting that meet strict public sector compliance requirements; - reliable APIs that enable efficient user management and synchronization using PowerShell scripts; - granular security framework and strong role-based access controls;

Dislike

Our biggest drawback or a hurdle for not liking this product is the administrative task and reporting system um the power of one is benefit it also making our employees to adapt small changes to their business processes and which is difficult for large enterprises where thousands of vendors attached furthermore work the Illuminate AI features are currently somehow somewhat solid not so developed as all of the AI agents right now so using that in our the products and data is frightening So yeah that.

Dislike

Searching and navigation can be clunky, it requires you to be quite narrow in your search criteria which enhancing the quality of output, however if you don't have specifics, it doesn't always return what you need. We have put in processes and guidance around this to ensure criteria is appropriately determined. We have also found that sometimes changing or amending a process can be quite difficult, particularly where rerouting data or process flows.

Dislike

- the administrative interface for managing custom reports and complex integration endpoints is unintuitive; - mapping historical public sector data structures to the cloud model is time-consuming; - the initial configuration of synchronization with legacy Active Directory environments requires extensive testing;
