Centralized leave and payroll management has saved time and simplifies approvals for our teams
HiBob has positively impacted my organization by making it very easy to track employee leaves and employee time off. Managing all of that in one system, having it all in one place, has really saved a lot of time for HR teams and management teams where approval does not need to go through a series of channels. It is all there in one platform and easily trackable. The quickest outcome I can share since using HiBob is that when we need leave approved, it is much easier. It is quite quick to really assess and review whether it is something that can be approved, and it is just a matter of a few clicks. This is the easiest experience I have ever had.

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

"HiBob integrates with various tools, such as Slack, Jira, and Google Calendar."
"Everything works great, and I am quite happy with it."
"The payroll and time management features are useful."
"SAP HCM is a powerful program that can greatly benefit organizations with its comprehensive features and integrations."
"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."
"The localization packages and, of late, the Rapid Deployment Solutions have proved to be immensely time saving and thus have made SAP implementations monetarily viable for the SME sector."
"SAP HCM is used by our clients for all their business processes, such as HR, finance, procurement, and supply chains."
"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."
"SAP HCM is a scalable product."
"They provide the most stable and powerful technology in the areas of human resources, information systems, and ERP."
 

Cons

"HiBob isn't as user-friendly for managing contractors, part-time employees, or consultants."
"The setup process for SAP HCM is a bit complex; it is not simple."
"SAP HCM needs to improve its UI."
"The extensibility of the integration could be improved."
"The product's learning and development features could be better, including new exclusive LMS tools."
"We find some challenges in the integration between SAP HCM and SAP SuccessFactors."
"In my experience, SAP HCM and similar products are very good, but the focus now should be on providing features to encourage employee adoption. For example, accessing pay slips is a task that naturally drives adoption. However, AI tools that can prompt employees at the right time through the right application are needed for actions such as conducting surveys or gathering performance feedback."
"It was difficult to deploy. There were challenges regarding configurations and implementation. So, we had a lot of issues."
"The implementation of the solution can be a bit difficult. They should make it easier. If it could be as simple as the SuccessFactors implementation that would be ideal."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Be careful and guard against future changes in licensing."
"The pricing is really high."
"In my view, this product is a waste of money for SMB because there are much better products available and licensing is an issue."
"We have an annual license for this solution, and the price depends on the number of users."
"For implementation, SAP offers little support unless you buy SAP Safeguarding from SAP Consulting."
"You pay per license. There not any costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"Licensing is pretty complex. SAP does not have a straight forward way of licensing, and it differs from client to client."
"The cost of SAP HCM is high, the license should be reduced. SAP HCM has a lot of hidden costs."
