What differentiates Workday Strategic Sourcing from other similar products?

It is easy to use and quick to deploy that there is no third-party assistance required for the implementation process.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I can easily track supplier performance and history over time, gaining insight into their activity and risk level from within the Workday records syncing capabilities hence ensuring data accuracy. It has a very handy integration capability with Microsoft 365 that allows me to comment and collaborate in Microsoft word therefore it becomes easy to create and revise contracts across multiple stakeholders without worrying about version control or visibility.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The user interface needs some improvements in terms of built-in graphical dashboards.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

This product is capable of delivering better performance and features but lacks in user interface compared to most products in its category and for this, I would recommend them to go for the product.

Pros

Unique Features
Effective Service
