Simplifies payroll processing and reduces the need for extensive marketing efforts while providing scalability, compliance, and excellent stability

I believe there is room for enhancement in the scope of services. We encountered challenges at times in clearly defining it, particularly because the firewall domain is extensive and demands localization for this service. Consequently, there is occasional confusion regarding whether a service falls under the standard category or is considered an add-on. I think there is a need for a deeper level of comprehension.

It's so easy to use that a customer can easily understand the process with zero knowledge of the system

Ramco is user-friendly. The UA is excellent and so easy to use that a customer can easily understand the process with zero knowledge of the system. We can easily walk a new user through the user guide. For each ESS MSS, I can log in to the ESS access. And documentation is available. Ramco doesn't charge much when customers request custom KPI calculations and other custom features. Workday and SAP impose a high charge. Ramco's bots are excellent, whereas Workday doesn't have an automated system and is only now developing a mobile app.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The advantage was that ADP Streamline was inherently designed to serve as a marketing engine for the company."

"The most valuable feature was that everything was in one system."

"They are very strong in terms of having a central regional system. A regional person can see and monitor the calendar for each different country."

"I like the reporting feature as it allows me to generate reports independently without relying on a payroll consultant."

"Payroll processing is very easy. SQL rules can be attached to any pay elements."

"Once we implemented this solution, it was customizable for our needs and this has been the most valuable aspect of this solution."

"Ramco HCM stands out due to its reliability and up-to-date compliance with legal, statutory, and regulatory requirements."

"Ramco HCM is a stable system that doesn't have downtime or fluctuation issues. It can also take large volumes and scale up very fast."

"In general, the solution is very flexible and can be configured in multiple ways."

"The performance management system is really good."

"It is a good product, and it is suitable for different client requirements. It has customization options and flexibility. You can customize a report or configure the workflow based on your requirements. Everything is there in the product, and you can customize it as per your requirement. Our clients found the automation of the payroll, leave attendance, and onboarding modules the most valuable. The Time and Attendance module is fully integrated with this solution and supports multiple data entry modes, such as barcode, biometric device, fingerprints, and face reading. Its core HR module includes features like movement, expense management, exit, and separation. The compensation and benefits module includes features like welfare, retirement, and superannuation. It also has analytical tools. You can create a real-time report based on your requirements. You can also publish that report in different formats, such as Excel, PDF, HTML, etc. It has a chatbot feature, which is using machine learning and natural language. You can ask questions about your leave balance, attendance, or things like that, and you will get an immediate reply from the chatbot. It also supports approval through email."

"Ramco is user-friendly. The UA is excellent and so easy to use that a customer can easily understand the process with zero knowledge of the system. We can easily walk a new user through the user guide. For each ESS MSS, I can log in to the ESS access. and documentation is available."

Cons

"Having more clear guidance on design and training would be beneficial."

"I think there is a need for a deeper level of comprehension."

"The UI could be improved to be a bit more modern or trendy because it looks old-fashioned compared to other systems."

"They could improve the service relationship manager (SRM), because they have an SRM which is not familiar with Simple."

"They can improve the configuration time because it takes more time than other products to configure the system. It could be because they are managing this single product for all countries, but it would be good if they improve the implementation time because we need to implement the solutions within a timeline. They should provide some kind of auto-configuration so that the system can be configured and implemented within a certain timeline. Implementors should have a provision to configure the system in a short time. There should also be an option to move the setup or configuration from staging to production to save time. These types of automation should be there."

"The entire UI/UX of the solution can be improved drastically."

"The mobile app and web page user experience could be more user friendly."

"One area for improvement in Ramco HCM is its UI, which could be more intuitive. Another area for improvement in the system is that it can be challenging to make some modular-based changes to it."

"The product itself sometimes feels inconsistent because it comes with bugs."

"The mobile app for this solution could be improved as it lacks many features."

"Ramco could be a bit faster and offer more use cases. A prime aim is to get analytics and this is lacking in Ramco. This lack of reporting is one of the reasons we are moving away from using Ramco."

"The talent management and performance appraisal modules could use some improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The amount we pay is not low, and it is not high. It is average."

"Our company had a standardized pricing model based on the number of employees."

"Their customized solution is pretty expensive but much cheaper than its competitors."

"This solution is priced in the middle compared to other solutions on the market."

"I am not aware of the price because I was working in the implementation team, but pricing is generally based on the requirement, modules, headcount, and country."
