SAP HCM is quite expensive, but considering solutions like Oracle, they are similar. Based on prior knowledge, I think the pricing is about seven in terms of cost-effectiveness.
Licensing with SAP involves negotiation to determine costs and benefits. Return on investment depends on how effectively the company negotiates with SAP for reasonable pricing.
The solution is cheap. Suppose a client can afford to purchase their software and hardware on-premises, even if it's expensive. In that case, that's okay because they can afford their agenda, which is an on-premises installation for security. And some clients who cannot afford the same, but allocate it to a business expansion, can choose either a private cloud or public cloud, sometimes operating in a hybrid mode. Some clients can pay a subscription if they want to go for a certain route.
The pricing is really high. Compared to Odoo, it's very high. However, if you already have the other modules, it's okay. But SAP will cost you a lot of money.
HCM is cheaper than SuccessFactors. The only thing is that SAP is now threatened and has to stop doing the development. I can tell you this since if I didn't, a lot of people would stay on-prem, as we call it.

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.

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.

The pricing is not reasonable at all. That's why the product needs to be used by an enterprise, because the pricing is not okay for medium or small companies.

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.
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 cost may differ from region to region, but here in the Middle East, you pay per license. There not any costs in addition to the standard licensing fees. SAP HCM is on-prem. SAP has another solution which is called SuccessFactors. It is on the cloud and by subscription only. So SAP has two solutions, the one on cloud is SuccessFactors and HCM on-prem. SAP is pushing for clients to go to SuccessFactors right now. The cloud solution may save some people money.
SAP costs a lot of money. In my view, this product is a waste of money for SMB because there are much better products available and licensing is an issue. I don't know how they come up with this pricing, but it is ridiculous. For example, if you want to have self-service for employees and managers then you need to pay for additional licenses.

Licensing is pretty complex. SAP does not have a straight forward way of licensing, and it differs from client to client. The terms on which you buy licenses might change due to the way they license in a particular product. Be careful and guard against future changes in licensing.

The product is expensive.
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.

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.
