"Clunky and complicated"
25 September 2025
Pros:
I liked Workday's popularity, which indicated that it's a trusted product, but after using it and comparing it to other software, I'm convinced that its popularity is the result of persistent salespeople and not product superiority.
Cons:
Clunky and complicated UX that shows complete disregard for the user. If it can be simpler, it should. But if the people in charge lack emotional intelligence or empathy for the user, the result is a Workday-type UI.

"Give me da Gold Please!"
15 January 2025
i researched this service when starting up my business. signed up and paid the subscription for a trial basis then started getting my grounding, found several way cheaper, with more features, so decided not to continue this contract. i have eleven employees currently and WAP charges based on the users under said account id go bankrupt paying for this id suggest offering more suitable arrangements for smaller businesses, as there are tons more of those popping up everyday theres too much competition in software options for any company to not offer a free or trial package one can afford.
Pros:
great for budgeting and tracking expenses during month or quarter for large companies, easy to use interface, nice clean layout
Cons:
way to expensive unless you own cooperate businesses or companies, not suitable for small business owners

"Workday great tool, not so easy to use"
20 January 2025
Overall this is a great product. Once you adapt to it or just bookmark the pages you need and store them on your custom view for easy locating, the software makes HR items and manager requests a breeze.
Pros:
Everything you need is right there. Great all in one software. View time off taken, time off requests, paystubs, taxes, ect. Everything is at your fingertips.
Cons:
Everything is at your fingertips if you can figure out where it is. The user interface is a little confusing at first and navigating the site isnt the easiest.
