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."
"The integration between the different models like personnel administration, work management, payroll, and time management are the most valuable and key features."
"Customers can create custom infotypes to store any custom data points."
"The integration provided by SAP between different modules is very good."
"All of the core processes are very valuable aspects of the solution. These include personnel, administration, organizational structure, and payroll."
"I like the talent, recruitment, and learning features the most."
"When you maintain your data in SAP, you can generate any kind of HR report with one click."
"The tool's most valuable features for our HR operations include easy reporting capabilities, which allow us to generate reports for management meetings and auditing purposes. Additionally, it supports appointment preparation and processing benefits."
"All our employee data, like performance and payroll, is managed through SAP HCM."
 

Cons

"The solution's OKR system or performance management tool is not so great."
"System usability is a challenge."
"The extensibility of the integration could be improved."
"I would like it to move more towards a single data space, a single data source. SAP as a platform relies on multiple data sources because traditionally, it's been bolted together by the acquisition of other products rather than a single database. That's why there are lots of points of failure and lots of required points of integration. They need a single integration point."
"The current platform is quite rigid and not as flexible and end-user friendly as other HR solutions."
"SAP HCM's long and tedious transactions can be improved."
"We are able to optimize a lot of processes but there is always room for improvement."
"SAP HCM could improve by having more resources and making it more user-friendly. It is complex."
"There needs to be a renovation of the interface and functionalities of the talent management modules."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We need to pay a yearly license for greytHR, which is much cheaper than SAP SuccessFactors."
"You pay per license. There not any costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The cost of SAP HCM is high, the license should be reduced. SAP HCM has a lot of hidden costs."
"SAP is expensive, but if you're using the product, then the expensive product becomes inexpensive. Considering its performance and features, I find it quite reasonable."
"The pricing depends upon the specific model and number of user accounts included in a bundle."
"HCM is cheaper than SuccessFactors."
"The terms on which you buy licenses might change due to the way they license in a particular product."
"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."
"SAP is extremely expensive. The integration costs and customization costs are also a lot."
