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. ----- ### "One Place for all your Enterprise needs" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *30 January 2026* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Unified HR data for global workforce management AI-driven talent and skills management tools Integrated payroll with real-time analytics Configurable workflows and business processes Powerful reporting and predictive analytics Employee self-service and mobile accessibility > > **Cons**: Complex navigation and frequent updates can slow user adoption as they don't have all the resources to catchup with the updates and latest technologies. ----- ### "Great experience" — 5.0/5 > **Jazzmen** | *17 June 2026* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that I’m able to see my employment history as well as if I need a pay stub it’s all right there > > **Cons**: I least like that if I can’t get into my account I have to do all this verification Just to access my account ----- ### "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
