Workday

Coverage

Some core data missing

Core HCM, finance, and workforce data accessible via REST, SOAP, WQL, and RaaS APIs, but access is gated behind complex domain security policies and some advanced analytics require Prism Analytics (paid add-on)

Performance

Missing CDC + high throughput

Restrictive rate limits (~10 calls/sec, 100 records/response); API calls for large data volume are very slow; RaaS lacks pagination causing large report failures; no native bulk extraction or CDC support

Egress charges

Modest

Workday recently introduced a consumption pricing model where each customer is provided a certain entitlement of API calls based on their tier. API usage beyond this is charged based on the customer's rate card
