A scalable solution with good functionalities, but customer support needs to improve
Customer support and getting help from MHR iTrent are not great at all. MHR iTrent concentrates too much on sales, like a selling mechanism. They don't concentrate on helping their existing clients get the most out of the solution. All they're interested in is selling you something else to add on.

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

"The retrospection feature within iTrent is really good and better than what some other software provides. It's really useful."
"MHR iTrent's functionality and the payroll part are good."
"Sometimes, employees may have pending requests that need approval, so you should check those and clear any errors to ensure smooth processing."
"The payroll function in SAP HCM has been most beneficial for managing global workforces. We plan to use goal management and KPI features to link to payroll through the SAP SuccessFactors module."
"The compliance management functionality is quite good."
"I think it's extremely stable; generally speaking, I think it's exceptionally reliable."
"SAP HCM has a good performance."
"It has the best data management features."
"There has been a significant productivity increase in HR due to reduction of manual work and data consistency improvement."
"The setup was straightforward."
 

Cons

"MHR's customer service needs to improve. It's dreadful at the moment. They're not very customer-focused."
"Customer support and getting help from MHR iTrent are not great at all."
"SAP HCM's long and tedious transactions can be improved."
"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."
"The organizational management (OM) side needs improvement due to frequent reorganization which makes it tedious to make all the movement changes and combinations."
"System usability is a challenge. It needs a lot of end user training as it is not intuitive at all."
"SAP HCM needs to be more customizable to fit unique organizational processes."
"The limitation of HCM compared to new-era human capital management solutions is the cost."
"It is a bit tedious and manual to work with."
"On the personnel administration side, it's very difficult to do custom development."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Be careful and guard against future changes in licensing."
"In my view, this product is a waste of money for SMB because there are much better products available and licensing is an issue."
"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."
"We have an annual license for this solution, and the price depends on the number of users."
"The cost of SAP HCM is high, the license should be reduced. SAP HCM has a lot of hidden costs."
"We purchase the product's yearly license."
"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."
"HCM is cheaper than SuccessFactors."
