Feature comparison

While Workday Prism offers a robust human capital management or human resources information system (HRIS), HR analytics are not included in the core Workday HCM package.

To access Workday HR analytics, you need to purchase an additional module, Workday Workforce Analytics & Reporting, at a premium price point.

There are also hidden costs associated with this like the time it takes for most HR and people teams to implement and start gaining valuable insights from a tool this layered.

Buy Illoominus to unlock the full value of your Workday investment when you:

  • Have multiple sources of data — like recruitment, engagement, performance, or pay — that don't live inside Workday

  • Need to understand the entire employee journey (i.e. which sources of candidates are more likely to bring high performers into your company?)

  • Want to share platform access and need-to-know information with department leaders so the whole organization is responsible for people outcomes

  • Are looking for market context data to show how your organization compares on things like attrition relative to its peers

  • Are acquiring a company and want a single source of truth for reporting across multiple HR tools
