A tool to help manage global payroll that needs to improve the area of customization after its implementation
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a six out of ten. With ADP GlobalView Payroll, if I have to scale up the operations, one of the practical challenges I would like to highlight here is that in the post-implementation phase, if there are any new system enhancements or customization requests, it takes a lot of time to work with ADP to implement such changes. In the present time, every business has to operate in an agile manner, but I think that when it comes to the area revolving around change and control, there is a cost involved in ADP, and it comes as part of ADP's global contract. Most of the time, users may find that the prices quoted are not reasonable to justify the efforts involved from ADP's end. Most of the companies that fall under the category of Fortune 100 use ADP GlobalView Payroll, especially in the APAC region and Europe. The good thing with ADP GlobalView Payroll is that its system can be integrated with any HR system, like Workday or SAP SuccessFactors, since the integration is very seamless because many companies use global HR systems.

Centralized system enhances resource and capital management efficiency
The functions in SAP HCM that I have found most valuable include a bundle of resource management as well as capital management, which is also integrated with payroll and other systems. I also use a payroll processing feature in SAP HCM. The talent management tool in SAP HCM is useful, though it does not provide everything; it is not at the level of some other third-party tools for talent management, but we can still use it. SAP HCM supports our organization's global operations with multi-currency capabilities. 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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If someone wants a good payroll system with a good presence in the APAC region and Europe, then without a doubt, ADP GlobalView Payroll falls at the top of the list of best tools."
"Good solution if you want simple, static systems."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the Personnel Administration."
"SAP HCM is a powerful program that can greatly benefit organizations with its comprehensive features and integrations."
"The payroll suite is very valuable."
"The tool's best feature is SAP SuccessFactors."
"The most valuable feature, in my view, is the level of exceptions or error messages that come back when something goes wrong."
"The functions are really important in the product in ReadyNodes."
"Payroll processing is my favorite HCM feature, and I like all the SuccessFactors talent modules also. SAP is making good progress on enhancements to the features in the SF modules."
"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."
 

Cons

"The portal where employees log in to check their weekly tax statements is called ADP ESS, an area where improvements are needed."
"With big companies, it takes a long time to run when it comes to the reporting part."
"Projects tend to take longer because ADP wants to manage everything."
"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."
"We find some challenges in the integration between SAP HCM and SAP SuccessFactors."
"The setup comes with a set of challenges as well."
"Managing changes in applications can be challenging since it complicates testing and unit testing, resulting in longer testing phases. This time-consuming process often leaves little room for actual work."
"SAP is not ready to sell the license on time and delays the progress of projects. It's better to work with a competitor like Oracle. Those that are selling the product just go through powerpoints and don't have the knowledge necessary to sell. They can't answer any questions."
"It needs a lot of end user training as it is not intuitive at all."
"A better user interface and greater AI integration are crucial."
"The product significantly improved our organization by automating many processes, which reduced paperwork and provided clearer, more accurate goals and competencies."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If users consider the license of the solution, then it is an expensive tool."
"I believe that ADP GlobalView Payroll is an expensive solution."
"The cost of SAP HCM is high, the license should be reduced. SAP HCM has a lot of hidden costs."
"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."
"Licensing is pretty complex. SAP does not have a straight forward way of licensing, and it differs from client to client."
"In my view, this product is a waste of money for SMB because there are much better products available and licensing is an issue."
"You pay per license. There not any costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"HCM is cheaper than SuccessFactors."
"We purchase the product's yearly license."
"For implementation, SAP offers little support unless you buy SAP Safeguarding from SAP Consulting."
