Centralized global HR data has improved expense control and supports secure employee management
The features of SAP HCM are valued by me as it had a clear idea about what was expected from the user point. The person or the application has a lot of features and it had actually all the information needed from our part. That aspect is nice. Apart from that, the T-codes are really helpful to understand which particular option we need when we put the T-code in the search box. The stability and reliability of SAP HCM product are really nice, very helpful, and secured. It has no point of leakage and is mostly reliable, as most companies and organizations prefer SAP over many tools. As for security, it's already secured from the beginning itself, and that is the only reason our organization relies on it. Since it's very useful at a global scale, it is a very useful tool and is very easy to access and handle.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"greytHR has a great payroll system for India."
"The master data where most of the reports were run from was the most valuable, and we were quite satisfied with this module."
"SAP Payroll module is one of the best in the market and is integrated with benefits, time, etc."
"The valuable features of SAP HCM include managing employee data from hiring to retirement."
"The tool's most valuable features for our HR operations include easy reporting capabilities, which allow us to generate reports for management meetings and auditing purposes. Additionally, it supports appointment preparation and processing benefits."
"The payroll and time management features are useful."
"All of the core processes are very valuable aspects of the solution. These include personnel, administration, organizational structure, and payroll."
"The integration between the different models like personnel administration, work management, payroll, and time management are the most valuable and key features."
"The platform is simple to use and has a user-friendly dashboard and integration features."
 

Cons

"The solution's OKR system or performance management tool is not so great."
"The organizational structure visualization could be improved in future releases. The solution has a very poor interface."
"It would be nice if the solution migrated to S/4HANA, although this is not an immediate need of ours."
"It's intuitive, but not as intuitive or user-friendly as it should be. It's 2017, and I should be able to click once and just breeze through it."
"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 support wasn't that good."
"SAP HCM cannot integrate with other third-party applications. One of the drawbacks we encounter with SAP HCM, specifically in payroll management, is the limitation regarding changing payroll areas within the same month. For instance, if an employee transitions from staff to non-staff status during the month, we face difficulties because the system doesn't allow us to change the payroll."
"The implementation of the solution can be a bit difficult. They should make it easier."
"The organizational structure visualization could be improved in future releases. The solution has a very poor interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We need to pay a yearly license for greytHR, which is much cheaper than SAP SuccessFactors."
"The terms on which you buy licenses might change due to the way they license in a particular product."
"For implementation, SAP offers little support unless you buy SAP Safeguarding from SAP Consulting."
"The cost of SAP HCM is high, the license should be reduced. SAP HCM has a lot of hidden costs."
"We have an annual license for this solution, and the price depends on the number of users."
"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. You need to understand how to play the volume game and the growth."
"The solution is cheap."
"The solution is a little expensive and we are charged per user for the license. The solution can be paid monthly or annually."
"Be careful and guard against future changes in licensing."
