Who is Workday best for?
In other words, Workday is worth it for large enterprises (5,000+ employees) that need cloud HRIS + payroll + financials + planning as a unified suite — particularly if you're a Fortune 500 running complex global HR operations. Custom-quoted per employee + modules; typical mid-market to enterprise contracts $200K-$5M+/year. Steep learning curve; certified implementation partner required (6-18 month projects). Native integrations across enterprise ecosystem plus 400+ third-party apps. Downside: implementation costs run 1.5-3x annual license fees, and modernization has been slower than Workday's marketing suggests.
When to look elsewhere
Under 1,000 employees? Pick Rippling or BambooHR. Global EOR-heavy? Deel. SAP-loyalist enterprise? SAP SuccessFactors.
