SAP HCM Reviews

I used it for learning and talent management, employee self-service, and the n2n process for HRIS.

It simplifies everything for human capital management, and all users can do self-enrollment for leaves and those kinds of things. The employee self-service feature is quite a powerful feature for me.

You can install it on your mobile phone or iPad and do your employee service activity there.

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. 

I have been using this solution since 2014. 

It is quite stable because we run it on the IBM AIX platform, which is quite powerful. The CPU allocation is maintained by us. We use the DB2 database. In terms of power, machine performance, and availability, it is quite stable.

It is definitely scalable because we have an on-premises solution. It is very simple to add memory, processor, or disk capacity.

We got the principal support from SAP. We also have support from a business partner to do all the implementation and maintenance. We don't have any issues related to support.

I am also using SuccessFactors. SAP HCM has got talent management, but it is not as detailed as in SuccessFactors. In terms of HR management, SAP HCM has got more features and more details than SuccessFactors.

It is totally customized. The full deployment or rolling it out fully takes one to two years.

SAP is expensive, but if you're using the product, then the expensive product becomes inexpensive. Considering its performance and features, I find it quite reasonable.

The best thing to do is to identify whether you will need integration with other applications or solutions. If you don't look at this aspect in terms of future implementation, it will give you a hard time later on while doing the integration.

I would rate SAP HCM an eight out of ten.

We use SAP HCM to store and manage organizational data such as OM data, job profile data, solution data, HC data, and call center data.

Currently, we are in the process of migrating our SAP HR system to Workday. This is the process that I am involved in at the moment.

The most valuable feature is Organizational Management (OM).

This solution needs to be more configurable and user-friendly.

People who work with HCM need to have the proper knowledge of coding.

I have been using SAP HCM for more than two years.

The scalability is good. We have between 1,000 and 3,000 users.

I have been in touch with technical support once or twice. Our problems were resolved very fast so I would say that the support is good.

We are currently in the process of migrating to Workday, which is more user-friendly.

The two solutions are similar; Workday has improved on some of the things that SAP can do, whereas SAP can do some things more efficiently. Also, SAP can do some things that Workday cannot. One example is the address formatting. For example, in India, the format of addresses is different than in the US and some other countries. We have had challenges mapping the addresses to Workday from SAP.

With Workday, you do not need to be a program developer.

SAP HCM is a solution that I recommend. It is a good product, but if it were more configurable and you did not need to develop as much code then it would be better.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I learned SAP through a structured program, which laid the foundation for deeper engagement with Android development. SAP HCM is a vast platform offering ample opportunities for exploration and learning. It is easy to use and easy to learn.

Sometimes, employees may have pending requests that need approval, so you should check those and clear any errors to ensure smooth processing.

It's highly flexible, allowing you to understand the employee processes from hiring to departure. Additionally, you can access comprehensive information. It essentially structures the employees and their data to achieve organizational goals efficiently.

If SAP could streamline the onboarding process directly, it would be more efficient.

I have been using SAP HCM for three years. I'm working under the HR system checking employee and personal data for employees.

I rate the solution’s stability a ten out of ten.

200 people are using this solution.

I rate the solution’s scalability a ten out of ten.

SAP HCM isn't always a standalone solution for recruitment. I also utilize Workday, which serves us well. When we hire someone using a platform different from ours, it integrates into SAP HCM. Then, we manage the data and verify if the employee was hired correctly, including personal data, background checks, and bank details. It doesn't facilitate much employee engagement. We are assigned to manage the data equipment via FedEx.

The initial setup is easy and takes a day to complete. It was done in-house.

The solution is expensive.

You can use SAP HCM to streamline your organization's payroll processes. Integration is complicated if you want to integrate it with different teams.

I recommend the solution.
Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

SAP HCM is used for payroll and core HR.

We are satisfied with the reporting by SAP HCM.

We find some challenges in the integration between SAP HCM and SAP SuccessFactors.

I have been using SAP HCM for nine years.

SAP HCM is a stable solution.

SAP HCM has very good scalability. Our clients for SAP HCM are enterprise businesses.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten for scalability.

Sometimes, we get fast responses from the solution's technical support. However, the technical support team's response time is sometimes very slow.

Neutral

Implementing the solution in core HR and payroll for managed services and employee-managed services is not straightforward.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy, I rate the solution's initial setup a four out of ten.

I rate SAP HCM an eight to nine out of ten for its user experience and ease of use when navigating HCM modules.

Overall, I rate SAP HCM an eight out of ten.

Our primary need is for payroll processing, which is why we rely heavily on SAP HCM.

One area that could be improved is the time-tracking and attendance system. We currently have an external system that uploads the data into SAP HCM.

We recently launched the system on a mobile app, and people have become accustomed to it. It's been easy for them, so we don't want to ask them to change to something else. We don't want to make too many changes too often.

Other than that, I find SAP HCM quite convenient and easy to use. The only issue so far is with the pricing.

I have been using this solution for ten years. I am currently using the Hana version and HCM module. 

It is a stable solution. I would rate it a nine out of ten.

It is a scalable solution. There are three administrators maintaining the solution: an HR person, a payroll person, and one backup.

The customer service and support was good. There were very helpful.

We were thinking of switching to a SuccessFactors solution. Due to some cloud issues there, we are sticking to the on-premise model for HCM

The initial setup for SAP HCM was straightforward for the most part. The entire deployment process took more than six months. The payroll setup was done quite well.

We took help from an IBM consultant for the HCM module, they were quite helpful. The deployment process had a blueprint that we followed. We checked the blueprint against some scenarios. Once everything looked good, we went ahead and launched the deployment.

The price of SAP HCM is really high, which is why many people choose not to use it. The licensing cost and other associated expenses can be a deterrent. It is an area that needs to be looked at.

We have been interested in using SAP HCM from the beginning because they have their own software. Currently, we have a separate appraisal system and recruitment system. We are exploring how we can integrate them with the SAP HCM platform.

However, we have encountered issues with cost and cloud compatibility. We might just use it for payroll and continue using different modules for other HR functions.

My advice for those looking to implement SAP HCM is to create a detailed blueprint beforehand, and this will make the process much smoother. It's critical to communicate clearly with your consultant and provide specific details about your required reports and outputs.

Overall, I would rate SAP HCM an eight out of ten. However, it would be even better if the solution were more cost-effective so people could also test other modules. Users should be allowed more uploads and ease of use, and users should be able to adapt to SAP HCM quickly.

We find all the features to suit our needs. 

It would be nice if the solution migrated to S/4HANA, although this is not an immediate need of ours.

I have been using SAP HCM for five or six years. 

The solution is quite scalable.

The technical support is quite good.

We did not work with other products prior to going with the solution. 

As with all solutions, we found the initial setup to be complex but, with time and use, it became easy. 

We have an internal team that is responsible for maintenance. 

I cannot comment on pricing, as this is not within my purview. 

The solution is quite good as a business product, useful.

We are satisfied with the solution. 

There are 300 people utilizing the solution in our company. 

We are talking about a very friendly product, which sets an industry standard. 

The interface with biometrics is good. It works well. 

I rate SAP HCM as a seven or eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for automating HR processes.

The product has been very stable overall.

We've found that the solution has the capability to scale. 

The solution is rather expensive.

I'd like to see the solution offer even more stability in future releases.

We have been on the solution for many years. We started using it originally in 2013. 

The stability of the solution is pretty good overall. It's reliable and the performance is good. It doesn't crash or freeze. There are no bugs or glitches. It's good.

That said, stability is an area that can be constantly improved upon.

The scalability of the solution is okay. It's possible to expand it. that's not a problem.

We have about 20 to 30 people using the product within our organization.

We do not plan to increase usage. We are not planning to continue to use it at all. We are moving away from it entirely.

I've never been in touch with technical support at all. I have no idea if they respond quickly or if they are knowledgeable enough about the product. I can't give any insights due to my lack of experience dealing with them directly.

While we are currently using SAP HCM, we are in the process of scrapping it and moving over to SAP SuccessFactors.

I do not have very good knowledge of the pricing itself. It's not an aspect of the solution I directly deal with. However, it's my understanding that the cost is quite high.

I would rate the solution at a six out of ten. 

We're actually moving away from it currently, and are in the process of doing so right now.

I would not necessarily recommend the solution to other users or organizations. There are other options on the market that may be more suitable.

The primary use case is as an HR and payroll system that is used to manage our organization.

The most valuable feature is the Personnel Administration.

The Time Management feature is not very user-friendly.

The speed of technical support can be improved.

The configuration requires somebody with technical know-how, and it would be better if it were easier to do.

We have been using SAP HCM for two years, since 2018.

This is a stable product.

SAP HCM is scalable.

I wouldn't say that the technical support is the greatest. They take quite a long time to respond to issues.

The initial setup is complex. The deployment took between six and eight months. It is not an instant process.

We used consultants to assist with the deployment.

This is a product that I can recommend. 

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.
