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

"The most valuable feature is the Personnel Administration."
"The valuable features of SAP HCM include managing employee data from hiring to retirement."
"When you maintain your data in SAP, you can generate any kind of HR report with one click."
"It's very suitable for large, multi-geography companies but also very suitable for medium companies with multi-geography operations."
"The user interface is the solution's most valuable feature. It makes it easy for us to use."
"Technical support is excellent."
"SAP HCM has a good performance."
"SAP HCM is a competitive and comprehensive tool that covers major programs in the enterprise and supports the global process."
"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 implementation of the solution can be a bit difficult. They should make it easier. If it could be as simple as the SuccessFactors implementation that would be ideal."
"The product's license is very expensive."
"The organizational structure visualization could be improved in future releases. The solution has a very poor interface."
"What can be improved in SAP HCM depends on the industry it serves. The system's navigation could be simplified for users. The flow and integration between parts, like core HR, payroll, and recruiting, must be communicated properly. Users should focus on how doing things correctly from the start will improve things in the long run rather than feeling overwhelmed by tasks."
"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."
"We are able to optimize a lot of processes but there is always room for improvement."
"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 helped a lot due to the always changing government regulations pertaining to taxation, social security service, and local regulations that change frequently."
"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

"The pricing is really high."
"Be careful and guard against future changes in licensing."
"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 not reasonable at all."
"We have an annual license for this solution, and the price depends on the number of users."
"The solution is a little expensive and we are charged per user for the license. The solution can be paid monthly or annually."
"The solution is cheap."
"SAP is extremely expensive. The integration costs and customization costs are also a lot."
"ZingHR is a less expensive solution than others, such as SAP SuccessFactors."
"ZingHR is not expensive."
