Assistant Manager at Kashiv Biosciences
Centralized global HR data has improved expense control and supports secure employee management
The features of SAP HCM are valued by me as it had a clear idea about what was expected from the user point. The person or the application has a lot of features and it had actually all the information needed from our part. That aspect is nice. Apart from that, the T-codes are really helpful to understand which particular option we need when we put the T-code in the search box. The stability and reliability of SAP HCM product are really nice, very helpful, and secured. It has no point of leakage and is mostly reliable, as most companies and organizations prefer SAP over many tools. As for security, it's already secured from the beginning itself, and that is the only reason our organization relies on it. Since it's very useful at a global scale, it is a very useful tool and is very easy to access and handle.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When you maintain your data in SAP, you can generate any kind of HR report with one click."
"I feel SAP HCM is very competitive and worth the investment given its capability to integrate modules and provide comprehensive value."
"SAP HCM is a competitive and comprehensive tool that covers major programs in the enterprise and supports the global process."
"The product is flexible and has periodic updates."
"The most valuable feature, in my view, is the level of exceptions or error messages that come back when something goes wrong."
"We have managed to consolidate our payroll for all India operations on this platform."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of ZingHR is the data bulk uploading and downloading."
 

Cons

"Talent management: SAP has acquired SuccessFactors and does not invest in the SAP HCM Talent Management module any more."
"The speed of technical support can be improved."
"SAP HCM is costly compared to other ERPs like Microsoft Dynamics or Oracle, and I would rate the cost as one out of ten."
"The product's license is very expensive."
"The implementation of the solution can be a bit difficult. They should make it easier."
"Regarding vSAN ReadyNodes, there needs to be a clear assessment of areas that require improvement from the product perspective."
"It's intuitive, but not as intuitive or user-friendly as it should be. It's 2017, and I should be able to click once and just breeze through it."
"There needs to be a renovation of the interface and functionalities of the talent management modules."
"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."
"ZingHR is not flexible and needs to improve offline support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We purchase the product's yearly license."
"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 product is expensive."
"SAP is extremely expensive. The integration costs and customization costs are also a lot."
"The cost of SAP HCM is high, the license should be reduced. SAP HCM has a lot of hidden costs."
"The solution is cheap."
"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."
"ZingHR is not expensive."
"ZingHR is a less expensive solution than others, such as SAP SuccessFactors."
