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.

A cloud-oriented HRMS that needs to be more flexible and improve offline support

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support is excellent."
"The user interface is the solution's most valuable feature, as it makes it easy for us to use."
"When you maintain your data in SAP, you can generate any kind of HR report with one click."
"The master data where most of the reports were run from was the most valuable. We were quite satisfied with this module."
"Technical support is excellent."
"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."
"The technical support is quite good."
"I like the talent, recruitment, and learning features the most."
"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

"SAP HCM could improve by having more resources and making it more user-friendly. It is complex."
"We are able to optimize a lot of processes but there is always room for improvement."
"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."
"Processing large volumes of data during processes such as payroll is time consuming, which could be an area to work on."
"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'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."
"When performing reconciliation, manual entry is sometimes required, and barcode scanning isn't always available."
"It takes a long time to apply an update patch to the system."
"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

"The solution is a little expensive and we are charged per user for the license. The solution can be paid monthly or annually."
"Be careful and guard against future changes in licensing."
"The pricing depends upon the specific model and number of user accounts included in a bundle."
"HCM is cheaper than SuccessFactors."
"Licensing is pretty complex. SAP does not have a straight forward way of licensing, and it differs from client to client."
"For implementation, SAP offers little support unless you buy SAP Safeguarding from SAP Consulting."
"The cost of SAP HCM is high, the license should be reduced. SAP HCM has a lot of hidden costs."
"The solution is cheap."
"ZingHR is not expensive."
"ZingHR is a less expensive solution than others, such as SAP SuccessFactors."
