What do you dislike most about this product?
To contact sales, anyone need to provide the name, business email, phone, company, and so many details so I dislike giving all the details. Some people might not be fine to give all details to get in touch with sales team, so there should be a way where one should not have to give all details to get in touch with team.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
My recommendation to someone who is considering this product would be that they have a demo on the website which is really helpful to help us understand Workday Student. so before enrolling in the product, one should watch that demo.
