Allows you to generate reports, easy integration and offers out-of-the-box support
The limitation of HCM compared to new-era human capital management solutions is the cost. While those solutions offer similar features at a lower price, they are not typically used by large enterprises. However, for small and medium enterprises, the HCM licensing and maintenance costs are quite high. There are numerous solutions like Zoho and Odoo that offer subscription models at a much lower cost, even as low as $10. This significantly impacts SAP's market share, especially among smaller businesses. The high cost is the main reason why it's not widely adopted by smaller businesses. Currently, it's largely used by big enterprises, and only a small percentage of SAP users actually utilize HCM, even though they might be using other SAP modules. The small organizations are not keen on using it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"greytHR has a great payroll system for India."
"HCM is a very important module that each organization should want to use. It will help any organization to calculate and control the cost of their human resources."
"The technical support is quite good."
"SAP HCM is a competitive and comprehensive tool that covers major programs in the enterprise and supports the global process."
"The payroll and time management features are useful."
"The most valuable feature, in my view, is the level of exceptions or error messages that come back when something goes wrong."
"The valuable features of SAP HCM include managing employee data from hiring to retirement."
"SAP HCM can handle a large number of employees. We can easily process payrolls and check the arrangements, and the client can also check the performance of the employees. Additionally, it has some advanced features."
"They provide the most stable and powerful technology in the areas of human resources, information systems, and ERP."
 

Cons

"The solution's OKR system or performance management tool is not so great."
"This solution needs to be more configurable and user-friendly."
"SAP HCM could improve by having more resources and making it more user-friendly. It is complex."
"The extensibility of the integration could be improved."
"There are already success factors for the cloud solution which cannot be integrated into S/4 HANA."
"System usability is a challenge."
"The talent modules are lacking in HCM, so I would recommend switching to SuccessFactors for talent management, but HCM excels at time management and payroll."
"There's still room for improvement. We need end-to-end systems. Only the HR team uses HCM, but employees don't have access to their data. With Employee Central, employees can see their ratings, increment cycles, and other details, making things more transparent."
"SAP HCM needs to improve its UI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We need to pay a yearly license for greytHR, which is much cheaper than SAP SuccessFactors."
"In my view, this product is a waste of money for SMB because there are much better products available and licensing is an issue."
"The pricing is around the middle, at a five out of ten. But it depends on the number of licenses. More licenses mean lower per-user costs. You need to understand how to play the volume game and the growth."
"The solution is a little expensive and we are charged per user for the license. The solution can be paid monthly or annually."
"The terms on which you buy licenses might change due to the way they license in a particular product."
"The solution is cheap."
"I believe HCM is a little expensive, but I don't know the exact price because I'm involved with the sales team. However, I think the price must be reasonable because many organizations are migrating their current ERPs to SAP. It's excellent software, and the price is competitive."
"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
"We have an annual license for this solution, and the price depends on the number of users."
