It is well suited for maintaining financial records, as it is a safe and confidential approach. The tool is easier to use and access so this makes it appropriate to be handled. Further, keeping all clinical records in one place. The tool is a magic wand to be considered for organization's especially those financial services.

I think its user interface is very nice. The alternatives I had to use for this were ADP and BambooHR at my previous job. I would rate this better than ADP, but BambooHR has more features. You could also see others' time off, which was a good feature.

Workday is well suited for managing employees throughout their full life cycle. It excels at housing employee data from the start of their time with the company through their departure. Workday is less suited to payroll functions, which could be more robust.

Our main use case is to manage and track our expenses and revenue, which has worked well for us so far. It is easy to integrate with our CRM, and other financial tools we use in our company, so we can get all those data together for accounting needs. But, if we are looking for more affordable solutions, or a simple tool, Workday will not work for us.

Workday Financial Management is very good at tracking data. It does this particularly well with time off and compensation data. It's a great management tool if you're able to dedicate some time to teach others in the company how to use it. It is not as user friendly to a first time user though, and many key parts of the system are hidden behind layers of options.

It is well suited if you are already using Workday Financial Management for HR or Adaptive Planning for your budgeting software. It is most likely for companies that are a little more established and moving on from another entry level type accounting software.

There are out of the box solutions that Workday Financial Management has when implementing, but the system is overall highly configurable to meet the needs of your organization. There are layers of security and complex reporting elements that allow you to get to the data you need (sometimes easily and sometimes it's a challenge). Workday Financial Management is very effective for us.

Financial reporting is sometimes tricky in our field because some oil and gas fields are depleted, and the standard methods of activating abandoned oil wells will have high-cost variability. Therefore, in this scenario, Workday Financial Management made internal financial reporting statements pretty seamless, where initial bid and field cost can be incorporated very easily in an asset-wise manner. Also, cloud-based sharing was never a problem, and our lease operators never had a problem understanding which reports belong to which asset.

Workday can be configured to do almost anything that is needed for a client. However, it has been difficult for us to integrate Channel Online into Workday Financial Management/Revenue Management because of all of the exceptions that come along with using Channel Online. For example, having a PO in Channel Online trigger the creation of an invoice in Workday even though the product on the PO may not have shipped yet or if the product is cancelled the invoice has already been generated in Workday Financial Management/Revenue Management.

Our primary model for budgeting revenue is centered on patient counts. Missed assumptions early in the year result in massive ramifications over the balance of the year. Workday formulas allowed us to write formulas to project the recovery of such shortfalls over a variable length of time, resulting in realistic projections for overcoming said shortfalls.

Workday Financial Management/Revenue Management is good for creating dashboards to see where costs are within your organization. There is a steep learning curve though, so may not be suited for organizations that want to hit the ground running immediately.

Workday is a very innovative platform that offers plenty of options and resources to its users in their daily lives. I have used Workday in three of the organizations I have worked in the past for. I am also a current user of Workday through my employer. Workday is best suitable for any retail or customer-facing environments. More and more companies are using Workday to even have strong candidates apply for a job. This helps them navigate their way through a platform that they will be using in the near future.

It was suited for our brand new operation; we 'opened the box' and implemented it from scratch and did not have to sunset older systems and replace with Workday Financial Management. This was well-suited for this. The cloud functionality was a core requirement for the organization, we did not need a Cadillac with all of the trimmings, we moved relatively quickly and installed.

I thought this was a great tool for putting together and tracking our department's actuals. Kind of like a Google Doc, people could edit it in real-time and comment. Which is great as I work on projects with coworkers where the events and projects are using different budgets. It helps to sort through what items should hit each budget.
