Workday makes life easier when it comes to time off and leave days. Everything is automated and it’s easy to request for leave days and check how many leave days you’re left with. It also makes it easy to manage your details and contracts. In a nutshell, Workday gives the best employee experience > > **Cons**: There is nothing I do not like about Workday. It’s gives us everything we need, and gives us value for money > > My overall experience with Workday has been really great. I have had the best work experience, from managing my personal details, contracts, leave days and any query related to HR. Workday makes all this easy and smooth to manage and with the use of AI, it makes everything efficient and makes the team more efficient in what they do. I love using Workday and will continue using it ----- ### "your workday\! will be a great day" — 4.0/5 > **Gopal** | *06 January 2026* | Human Resources | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Vendor management and candidate management help to manage the data for business leaders, as well as with self-work productivity. > > Overall, the features are good as compared to SAP SF, and Oracle Teleo. if someone is looking for bulk hiring and managing the data, and a single platform workday would be great. ----- ### "Workday HCM Makes Everything Better and Continues to be a Game Changer" — 5.0/5 > **Rick** | *30 January 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Having previous experience at companies that utilized multiple systems integrated together where we had to manage multiple integration error logs and such I really love that Workday HCM is a truly "core" product that brings all the modules HR, Onboarding, Payroll, Benefits, etc. together into a single system. Also, like that there is a reporting component built into the product so that as we configure new features we can also report on them. Also, it is beneficial in that it is translated/translatable so it can be used globally and also has a mobile interface so users can utilize it via a mobile device. > > **Cons**: During the early stages of Workday I was not sure I was going to like it as coming from multiple platforms that was familiar with to a way more robust single platform was a learning curve and initially thought that Workday was very vanilla in that certain basic things did not seem configurable, but over the past few years Workday has become 2nd nature as have become more familiar with the product and the Workday Product team has continued to listed to customers on Workday Community and enhance the product to make it better. > > Workday has really grown on me and continues to evolve and get better. I do not see any other platforms out there (Oracle HCM, SuccessFactors, etc) that perform like Workday does or are investing and taking the strides that Workday is currently taking. I see Workday as "best in class". Is it perfect - no, but my experience continues to get better with each release. ----- ### "Workday honest review" — 4.0/5 > **Adrianna** | *31 July 2026* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I do think it is easy to use and learn. My first time using it i was able to self navigate pretty smoothly. > > **Cons**: I dont like the way the pto hours are displayed. It can be a bit confusion to determine what is being used and what remains. > > Overall i would give it 4 stars. I have used other software's that were easier and handled pto requests more efficiently ----- ### "Simple to use as long as paying close attention" — 3.0/5 > **Jenna** | *13 February 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: ease of use, simple to navigate most of the time. Timekeeping is very simple to use on it, though wish I could view schedules and corrections as a whole. > > **Cons**: testing, the learning side likes to glitch out. as well as trying to put in schedules, a bit difficult to navigate putting in Teams scheduling. It's not easy to upload 1 whole schedule, so have to resort to adding one at a time. > > Haven't had many issues, only sometimes it doesn't like to work with learnings in aspects of loading modules or confirming completion. ----- Page: 1 / 72\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/66908/workday-hcm?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/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
