As a manager, it made it easy to manage my team, find employee information quickly, share updates, point people to the right resources, and handle things like time off approvals and recruitment in one centralized place. It reduced a lot of back and forth and kept everything organized. From an employee standpoint, it is equally easy to use. I can quickly book time off, manage my vacation schedule, review my employee information, and stay on top of tasks with clear and helpful notifications. Everything I need is easy to find, which makes day to day admin simple. > > **Cons**: I do not have many cons to point out. Because it is such a robust platform, some workflows can feel a bit heavy for very simple tasks, but that is largely the tradeoff of having a powerful and comprehensive HCM system. ----- ### "Great platform\!" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *January 8, 2026* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Workday HCM is a very comprehensive HR platform with strong capabilities across payroll, benefits, time tracking, and reporting. The centralized data and analytics are impressive and clearly built for complex organizations. > > **Cons**: The platform is complex and requires proper setup and training. It’s not the most intuitive system for new users who are being brought on. > > Overall, Workday HCM is a strong and dependable solution for organizations like ours. Once implemented, it performs well and supports long-term workforce management effectively. ----- ### "Better than most" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *August 14, 2025* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: very user friendly interface. very easy to understand and to navigate different menus and modules efficiently > > **Cons**: delays in updates. when you needed to configure something it was like pulling teeth to get it done quickly. > > it was far better than some of the other systems I have experience with, especially the user interface. ----- ### "Workday HCM a great tool" — 5.0/5 > **Yewande** | *November 11, 2025* | Human Resources | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Value for money - User interface - it was beautiful to use, User friendly - It is very user friendly navigating between different modules. It was easy to access reports and report captured everything especially for data analysis > > **Cons**: Customer Support was not really available, I had to ride on my knowledge to debug issues experienced > > It help me manage day to day task and my documentation and to help make informed decision when speaking at strategic HR management meeting.Work ----- ### "It Certainly is One-Size-Fits-All\!" — 4.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *November 5, 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The self service options and end-user experience are amazing. We didn't have the same level of insight with our previous vendor. > > **Cons**: It is highly configurable, which is in advantage for ensuring the tool is flexible for multiple industries; however, you really need to have super users or contract out development. > > I'm glad we made the investment in Workday. I'm looking forward to taking advantage of features we have yet to implement. ----- Page: 1 / 70\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/66908/workday-hcm?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/66908/workday-hcm) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
