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
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

"All our employee data, like performance and payroll, is managed through SAP HCM."
"The valuable features of SAP HCM include managing employee data from hiring to retirement."
"The main benefit SAP HCM provides is that we have all the information in one place; it is basically one centralized system with all the information rather than having multiple systems across the organization."
"We have features such as ABKRS based on the client's requirement, tariff and TMSTA, and so on."
"The most valuable feature is Organizational Management (OM)."
"The user interface is the solution's most valuable feature, as it makes it easy for us to use."
"Human Capital Management is a powerful tool for organization management that helps define the organizational structure, support the company, and automate administration of employee information, education and learning, insurance, healthcare, and all other facets of human resources."
"SAP HCM is used by our clients for all their business processes, such as HR, finance, procurement, and supply chains."
"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

"The product's learning and development features could be better, including new exclusive LMS tools."
"I'm currently working for a state-owned government company, and we need to follow some standards and regulations. We also have a strategy to be followed. Sometimes the template and the format are not available in the SAP HCM, so we have to work around this limitation. The tax also sometimes changes in my country, and we have to redo everything to change the payroll calculations, benefits, and things like that. The talent management feature can be improved. It is currently very simple in SAP HCM. SAP is also very hard to integrate. In terms of monitoring, there are no monitoring tools, but as long as we take care of the disk capacity, there is no problem."
"We are not planning to continue to use it at all. We are moving away from it entirely."
"SAP is not a last generation system. Users experience the use of the system as it was in 1998."
"The product significantly improved our organization by automating many processes, which reduced paperwork and provided clearer, more accurate goals and competencies."
"When performing reconciliation, manual entry is sometimes required, and barcode scanning isn't always available."
"The talent modules are lacking in HCM, so I would recommend switching to SuccessFactors for talent management, but HCM excels at time management and payroll."
"The organizational management (OM) side needs improvement due to frequent reorganization which makes it tedious to make all the movement changes and combinations."
"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

"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."
"Licensing is pretty complex. SAP does not have a straight forward way of licensing, and it differs from client to client."
"You pay per license. There not any costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The solution is cheap."
"Be careful and guard against future changes in licensing."
"The solution is a little expensive and we are charged per user for the license. The solution can be paid monthly or annually."
"For implementation, SAP offers little support unless you buy SAP Safeguarding from SAP Consulting."
"The terms on which you buy licenses might change due to the way they license in a particular product."
"ZingHR is a less expensive solution than others, such as SAP SuccessFactors."
"ZingHR is not expensive."
