Compensation cycles have become more secure and compliant while payroll data is now easier to validate
From a coding perspective, there are server timing issues. The system gets logged out, and there are issues from a coding perspective. From a feature perspective, most software has the same features, so they cannot implement more features in compensation because it is a crucial part. There are more issues with the software rather than the features. The time and saving time are problematic. There are some errors and rendering issues. Sometimes we get errors without our faults, which is where the inconsistency with their features exists. One area I want them to improve is the integration part where we can integrate systems with third-party software. Workday and Oracle provide very good integration suites, but SAP, because they are more focused on security, is hesitant. Their systems are somewhat legacy, so they do not support third-party software as comparably well. SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll has introduced story reports in the analytics part, which is a good feature. They are removing legacy systems like detailed reporting and Canvas. In 2028, they plan to remove these systems. Story reports is a pretty good feature where we can view graphs, tiles, and all information on one screen with the data. I would suggest they improve their community. SAP Community is pretty good, but they can improve their database with tech tips and documentation where they put every single scenario into written documents so that every client can find solutions without waiting for replies. The community should be improved.
