Additionally, the mobile app is very user friendly for viewing all this information on the go. > > **Cons**: When you first login, there is not a dropdown list of selections for your organization so it is very hard to find and you often have to ask HR directly what it is. Additionally, the web is not as user friendly as mobile is. > > Workday HCM is an overall solid HR management tool for any organization that wants to keep all employees personal and payroll information in one consistent place. ----- ### "Powerful enterprise HR platform with strong analytics, though complex to deploy" — 5.0/5 > **Elon** | *30 April 2026* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked most about Workday HCM is the quality of its centralized data model. In practice, employee information, approvals, org charts, talent data, and reporting are managed in one ecosystem. For example, this makes headcount monitoring, workforce planning, and governance much more reliable than using disconnected systems. > > **Cons**: What I liked least about Workday HCM is that implementation and administration can be demanding. In practice, the platform is powerful, but configuration, change management, and user adoption require strong internal ownership. It can also be expensive for smaller organizations. ----- ### "Great Tool for a really great price\!" — 5.0/5 > **Lance** | *9 June 2026* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Smooth and fluid software\!

If you figure it out, the tools are very useful. > > As a user, I have felt more connected with HR management, especially when they create a "ticket," and you can see what steps are taken to get my issue resolved. Kudos\! ----- ### "Workday Works Wonders\!" — 5.0/5 > **Sarah** | *19 May 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: My favorite thing about Workday HCM, is how everything is all in one place.
