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."
"SAP HCM has valuable features for analytics data management."
"We have features such as ABKRS based on the client's requirement, tariff and TMSTA, and so on."
"Technical support is excellent."
"We are satisfied with the reporting by SAP HCM."
"The integration between the different models like personnel administration, work management, payroll, and time management are the most valuable and key features."
"They provide the most stable and powerful technology in the areas of human resources, information systems, and ERP."
"Recently, the localization versions for different countries were increased, and that added value to the solution."
"It's very suitable for large, multi-geography companies but also very suitable for medium companies with multi-geography operations."
 

Cons

"The solution's OKR system or performance management tool is not so great."
"In my experience, SAP HCM and similar products are very good, but the focus now should be on providing features to encourage employee adoption. For example, accessing pay slips is a task that naturally drives adoption. However, AI tools that can prompt employees at the right time through the right application are needed for actions such as conducting surveys or gathering performance feedback."
"When performing reconciliation, manual entry is sometimes required, and barcode scanning isn't always available."
"It was difficult to deploy. There were challenges regarding configurations and implementation. So, we had a lot of issues."
"The solution is rather expensive."
"SAP HCM has many different channels for communication with the consultants which makes it complex. There are delays when there is a problem."
"SAP HCM cannot integrate with other third-party applications. One of the drawbacks we encounter with SAP HCM, specifically in payroll management, is the limitation regarding changing payroll areas within the same month. For instance, if an employee transitions from staff to non-staff status during the month, we face difficulties because the system doesn't allow us to change the payroll."
"It would be very helpful for our company if a new version was released with the ability to contain all of the things that we have newly introduced in our company."
"SAP HCM could improve by having more resources and making it more user-friendly. It is complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We need to pay a yearly license for greytHR, which is much cheaper than SAP SuccessFactors."
"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."
"The pricing depends upon the specific model and number of user accounts included in a bundle."
"We purchase the product's yearly license."
"HCM is cheaper than SuccessFactors."
"The cost depends on the size of the organization. Compared to others, I'd say Oracle is number one, followed by Workday and SAP HCM."
"For implementation, SAP offers little support unless you buy SAP Safeguarding from SAP Consulting."
"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 pricing is not reasonable at all."
