Despite Airtable also being easier to use one thing that differentiates and put forth Workday Financial Management tool above is it's key features and better suited functionality for handling confidential data. The other positive note where Workday Financial Management performs high is it key analytics tool that's easier to use and representation of information into insightful dashboards.

Workday Financial Management provides additional capabilities like real time financial analytics creation, easy tracking of multiple projects expense and management of all project financial data from one platform. CRM features are also impressive, billing tools and the online invoicing using Workday Financial Management and fraund detection is effective and even on distribution management this product is the master.

WFM is integrated with SSO, while others are not fully integrated. SAP Concur was used mostly for expense report management, while Deltek Costpoint was used for project time and cost management. Deltek was not very user-friendly, unreliable, and expensive for what it handled.

Workday is far superior to UKG. UKG felt cumbersome while being used, whereas Workday felt easy and intuitive. Workday allows for an easier flow of completing numerous everyday functions. I aim to integrate it into as many of my daily work routines as I can, reducing the time required in each area.

The processing power of Workday Financial Management we much better. The other systems didn't run as fast when trying to look at the financials or running any of the various reports that we would need. It also has a cleaner view when looking at the details.

The application data of users in the case of PeopleSoft is stored in its proprietary data storage, whereas Workday Financial Management connects to outside databases to create analytics reports. Therefore, this option uplifts the need to use Workday Financial Management as an interactive tool of business intelligence. The release model of Workday Financial Management is ahead of Oracle because it has a continual announcement of more functionality that is a very attractive incentive for our project management team for improving and developing the ongoing operational streams.

We went from PeopleSoft to Workday because of the efficiency and ease of use. There were a lot of limitations in PeopleSoft, just in simple things like character limits on fields that did not allow us to be as detailed. Workday Financial Management/Revenue Management has very few limitations and is very intuitive.

The costs to implement Hyperion were astronomical comparted to Workday. Furthermore, the implementation timeline was probably a third of what we would have been looking at had we gone with Hyperion. Simply put, we got somewhere in the neighborhood of 90% of what we needed for 10-20% of the cost.

Stacking up it was a faster and more inexpensive implementation. Granted it was still early in the system development years, but the results and the five years of using it speak for themselves. Cloud we wanted, comprehensive financials was a core functional requirement and this was met - it would have taken much longer to implement Workday's competitor systems and we did not have that flexibility. Adding new functionality was relatively painless.
