A cloud-oriented HRMS that needs to be more flexible and improve offline support
We use ZingHR as a human resource management system. It helps us manage recruitment, generate offer letters, and maintain employee database and attendance.  The solution is a cloud HRMS, which makes it a self-sufficient model. You can do a lot of things without taking anybody's help.  ZingHR is…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Sometimes, employees may have pending requests that need approval, so you should check those and clear any errors to ensure smooth processing."
"SAP HCM is a competitive and comprehensive tool that covers major programs in the enterprise and supports the global process."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"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."
"The payroll and time management features are useful."
"The user interface is the solution's most valuable feature. It makes it easy for us to use."
"They provide the most stable and powerful technology in the areas of human resources, information systems, and ERP."
"The most valuable feature of ZingHR is the data bulk uploading and downloading."
"The solution is a cloud HRMS, which makes it a self-sufficient model. You can do a lot of things without taking anybody's help."
 

Cons

"The organizational management (OM) side needs improvement due to frequent reorganization which makes it tedious to make all the movement changes and combinations."
"There are already success factors for the cloud solution which cannot be integrated into S/4 HANA."
"When performing reconciliation, manual entry is sometimes required, and barcode scanning isn't always available."
"It needs a lot of end user training as it is not intuitive at all."
"This solution needs to be more configurable and user-friendly."
"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 has many different channels for communication with the consultants which makes it complex. There are delays when there is a problem."
"The organizational structure visualization could be improved in future releases. The solution has a very poor interface."
"ZingHR is not flexible and needs to improve offline support."
"ZingHR could improve by giving administration users from the front end the ability to make corrections. I am having to do the bulk corrections from an Excel upload from the system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"HCM is cheaper than SuccessFactors."
"We purchase the product's yearly license."
"The solution is cheap."
"The terms on which you buy licenses might change due to the way they license in a particular product."
"For implementation, SAP offers little support unless you buy SAP Safeguarding from SAP Consulting."
"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."
"Licensing is pretty complex. SAP does not have a straight forward way of licensing, and it differs from client to client."
"ZingHR is a less expensive solution than others, such as SAP SuccessFactors."
"ZingHR is not expensive."
