Workday is the product most people point to when they talk about why enterprise software has a bad reputation. The interface is functional in the strictest sense. You can complete tasks, but every interaction requires more effort than it should. Finding information requires memorizing navigation paths. Basic tasks like submitting time off or finding a pay stub involve more clicks than they do on any consumer app. The score reflects that users endure Workday; they don't use it.
What earns the score
- +Handles complex HR and finance workflows at enterprise scale
- +Data model is comprehensive for large organizations
- +Mobile app exists and covers basic tasks
What holds it back
- –Nearly every task requires more clicks than it should
- –Navigation requires memorizing paths, not intuition
- –Visual design is dated and information-dense without purpose
