Hadoop vs Workday HCM

• HDFS is reliable and solid, and in my experience with it, there are very few problems using it
• Enterprise support from different vendors makes it easier to 'sell' inside an enterprise
• It provides High Scalability and Redundancy
• Horizontal scaling and distributed architecture

• Groups employees in management hierarchies and creates Org Charts that are easy to navigate and allow for visualizing management chains regardless of employee locations
• Intuitive and easy to use. The Workday search functionality works very much like Google; one can search for anything that they have access to in the database and drill down into the various details. All information is connected through hyperlinks and users can easily keep digging into the details for as far as their security access would take them.
• Tasks such as to do, review or approve items are sent to the user's Workday Inbox, very much resembling email. Notifications about outstanding "to do" items are also sent to each the user's work email address on a daily basis.

• Hadoop is a batch oriented processing framework, it lacks real time or stream processing.
• Hadoop's HDFS file system is not a POSIX compliant file system and does not work well with small files, especially smaller than the default block size.
• Hadoop cannot be used for running interactive jobs or analytics.

• To me, it did not have enough user guides or they were just lacking so you had to wing it. Sophisticated users appreciate the effort a software developer and provider has in making complete user guides. Makes it complete and comprehensive.
• I was expecting to see contact help by hovering over certain sections of the screens but did not see this, kind of surprised it was missing.
• I tried to cascade my performance goals to my team but they all duplicated, no idea why and our HR IT team could not figure it out. Appeared to be a hierarchy set up issue.

• Hadoop has allowed us to scale out a few of our tier-1, customer facing applications to provide very fast access to reports and analytics.
• Hadoop was easily implemented by our Linux team and onboarded by our Hadoop Admins.
• Hadoop has been a very stable platform and only goes down due to server patching or other maintenance.

• Gave us almost 4 hours per HR rep back on new hire day 1. We have a start date every 4 weeks and the manual entry of paperwork that was able to be eliminated with Workday has allowed us to put more HR reps in the classroom to aid with more important day 1 tasks.
• Simplified search - the backend information is now housed in a simple database that allows me to pull with employee first or last name, or user ID.
• We paid more for this solution, but we've seen a 33% increase in employee interaction since doing so.
