How AI sees Workday Student

Workday Student owns Higher Education SIS and nothing else.

Where it wins. In its one category, Workday Student ranks first among 15 competitors with a 60% mention rate, making it the most consistently surfaced SIS option across all three AI models.

Where it loses. First-pick selection sits at only 15%, and the models never frame it as the enterprise default, leaving a meaningful gap between how often it appears and how often it closes the recommendation.
