Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.

The floor is 13 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Full-suite HCM and finance platform with powerful workflow automation across the employee lifecycle, favoured by large and complex enterprises.” Muse Glimmer 30B · HR help desk · comparative prompt · alternative
“Workday is primarily an HCM system of record — ... rather than a dedicated service delivery platform.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · HR help desk · comparative prompt · alternative
“Best For: Companies seeking an "all-in-one" solution where HR service is linked directly to payroll” Qwen 3.7 Flash · HR help desk · comparative prompt · alternative
“Best for: Enterprises already on Workday, seeking an all-in-one system with deep data integration.” Grok 4.1 Fast · HR help desk · comparative prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Enterprise HCM Suites like Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle HCM" ... flagged as overkill” Muse Glimmer 30B · HR help desk · negative prompt · hard negative
“Security configuration complexity ... customization limitations, high cost | Requires strong internal security expertise; hidden costs” Kimi K2 · HR help desk · negative prompt · soft negative
“Often criticized for non-intuitive interfaces, steep learning curves... Workday is still a Leader despite UX gripes” Grok 4.1 Fast · HR help desk · negative prompt · soft negative
“Full HCM suite, expensive for case management alone” Kimi K2 · HR help desk · paraphrase prompt · soft negative
