User friendly interface
Reviewed on 2018/08/15
Workday Financials gave us much needed reporting capabilities that we weren't getting from other software. The fact that it integrates with our HRM system makes it easier to drill into certain data sets. Adding attachments to invoices and journal entries has essentially turned us into a paperless office.
Pros
Workday Financials is user friendly and has some great reporting capabilities. The interface looks fresh and it's easy to navigate. Each new release adds additional utility. The Workday Community is a great tool to post ideas and get real world advice from other companies experiencing the same issues.
Cons
Workday runs slow sometimes, especially on days when we're loading payroll and there's a lot of data going through the system. Sometimes Workday gives cryptic and seemingly random error messages.

Your usual financial software
Reviewed on 2019/12/10
Okay overall, don’t really see anything outstanding compared to other financial softwares
Pros
Allows user to save particular reports for easy access in the future, especially great if you need recurring reports.
Cons
There should be some sort of a filter feature. I find it troublesome when looking up vendor in the search bar, but unable to refine by cost center or BU without going through pulling the ledger entries.

Not completely bad, but not user friendly.
Reviewed on 2020/04/10
I use it mainly to look at my check stubs, but it does that quite well.
Pros
I like that once you figure it out it's simple to use, and make it easy to access your information.
Cons
It's not too user friendly when you first start using it. It definitely takes some getting used to.

Workday is not for every business
Reviewed on 2018/09/18
My overall experience with Workday is sometimes frustrating since I cannot get the reports I need to do my job. I work with the filing of 1099s for all the vendors and it's impossible to run reports with the information I need in order to report accurately to the IRS.
Pros
Workday enables businesses to view all their financials in just a few clicks.
Cons
Usually when a report is exported to excel, it's hard to view since the columns contain information that are irrelevant and need to be hidden.

A powerful tool with a terrible UI
Reviewed on 2021/03/02
Employees will accept having to use Workday to manage their taxes, etc. I'm not aware of an alternative for large companies. It will, however, be a perpetual pain point for employees.
Pros
Workday is used by large companies for a reason - companies with employees throughout the US or even internationally can gain immense value from Workday. It takes a lot of the legwork out of managing financials with large numbers of employees for the company.
Cons
The user interface for actual employees leaves a lot to be desired. Performing even simple tasks can take multiple minutes of digging through menus.

Excellent Product
Reviewed on 2021/04/06
An excellent solution to make all of those once tedious tasks much easier.
Pros
This product has made work in our HR space so much more streamlined. From talent management, to recruiting, to benefits and obviously, financial reporting internally. Budget keeping is no longer the massive chore it used to be.
Cons
Because Workday is a holistic solution for HR, there are minor limitations, but those hardly impact it's greater value.

Workday Review
Reviewed on 2018/10/29
I use workday to keep track of all my important company information. Overall I would say it's a good platform, but it needs some updating to make it more user friendly. Epically the time and absence widgets. I'm not a huge fan of how this program functions.
Pros
I like being able to access my personal information, my performance, my time, my benefits, etc. all in one location.
Cons
I don't like how difficult it is to track my time. We have a lock out every week and it is difficult to keep track of the hours I work. I usually have to write them down on a sticky note and transfer them back in once the lock out is over. Very inconvenient. I also don't like how I have to go to a different screen to include my absences like PTO or Maternity leave. It's been somewhat of a mess trying to keep track of al my hours and benefits.

Excellent, I can have all the analysis of my management in a single financial management...
Reviewed on 2018/04/13
Allows me to register new levels of financial efficiency and business performance with Workday accounting software, I could quickly respond to anomalies as they happen with reports and in-memory accounting, I could manage all activity with configurable business processes. A great benefit is that I have accomplished to change proactively to internal and external changes without IT resources or costly customizations.
Pros
I like most is that it gives me the possibility of having all the analysis of my management in a single financial management system. I find it interesting that it helps me to lead strategic planning and find the best ways for the profitability of my new business.
Cons
I'm practically new using the tool, but I think it would be useful to include the possibility of including the initial data of the company and predict its productivity in the short term.

Workaround
Reviewed on 2016/11/03
When we initially started using this product it was very cumbersome. It improved some of our old processes but then seemed to make other worse. It has either gotten better or we have just gotten use to it. We have also had some issues with invoices getting lost in the system and had to recreate them in order to get them to process. They recently changed the requisition creation and it is not clear what the end user needs to do once they enter a line item. Overall I like the product but I feel it could still be improved. We just started using the HR function this week and so far I like what I see.
Pros
The reporting capabilities and the ability to drill down in functions to get to the info you need.
Cons
Not always user friendly. The error notes are not very helpful in pointing you to the specific line that has an issue.

Most Intuitive Yet
Reviewed on 2019/12/30
Workday has been the most enjoyable experience in my career. Nobody likes to fiddle around with software that looks outdated and glitchy when they’re dealing with their paycheck.
Pros
This has been the most intuitive software for entering payroll information and altering personal information for payroll as well. We’ve never had an issue with Workday and plan on using it forever!
Cons
The only difficult thing to figure out is how many hours you have for the week. Sometimes when you have holiday hours or vacation hours it’s hard to tell how many hours you actually have for the week without submitting it.

Simple product
Reviewed on 2019/11/19
Great tracking tool for a business that has multiple roles/jobs that are salaries, hourly, and contracted.
Pros
Easy to use and simple product. Does the necessary work and training isn’t necessary bc tool is intuitive.
Cons
Doesn’t have bells and whistles and doesn’t make sense to add on because of the support you get from the basic package.

My overall experience in Workday was fantastic. I would recommend it to everyone.
Pros
I love the aesthetics and the ease of use. I am not a lover of numbers but Workday made it almost seem fun to do my accounts through here. It's easy to use, to track your finances and make changes when needed. There is no fuss, no hiccups, just easy and almost fun to use because it works smoothly.
Cons
Nothing. I can't think of anything to help improve this system. I love it.

Workday for Office Life
Reviewed on 2020/04/09
We love workday. It is so simple and really streamlines the work process between employees and employers.
Pros
I enjoy that all of our employees use workday and it makes it very simple to approve their time, as opposed to having to check time cards or check into another account. You can do everything from Workday, enter your time, ask for time off, track employees time, send employee messages, check your pay stubs, see your benefits, and lots more.
Cons
I don' think there are really any cons! It is very simple to use, and is easy to access from a phone as well.
