Find out what your peers are saying about Workday, Oracle, SAP and others in Benefits Administration."Rapidly implement jobs, positions, grades, and steps within setup of organizational structure."
"The solution is perfect for big industry and high-scale e-business transactions."
"I like Oracle ERP for streamlining the entire process from PRTL and invoice payments. It also has the decision and internet sale order, and my customers can correct the internet decision. It automatically converts to the internet order, and they don't need to create the entry object. They don't need to make a secondary ledger in the parent company and subsidiary. That's very helpful for internet decisions. If they get an order at the parent company, it automatically creates the sales system in the subsidiary."
"E-Business Suite's best features are the standard process, the table dictionary, and the ability to work with the SQL language to correlate data."
"It provides a well-centered database that is feature rich."
"ERP is a valuable feature of this product."
"If I want to manage many parts of my organization, such as finances, proceedings, or supply chain I would typically need to buy many different solutions. However, with Oracle E-Business Suite, it is all that is needed. This ERP system has many modules."
"It's quite secure and fast, and we get an end-to-end solution."
"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 valuable features of SAP HCM include managing employee data from hiring to retirement."
"SAP HCM has a good performance."
"We've found that the solution has the capability to scale."
"I think HCM was the most stable for me...It is a very scalable product."
"The platform is simple to use and has a user-friendly dashboard and integration features."
"The most valuable feature, in my view, is the level of exceptions or error messages that come back when something goes wrong."
"All our employee data, like performance and payroll, is managed through SAP HCM."
"The payroll and benefits engine is the most valuable Workday solution in my opinion. It is also easy to access."
"There is a lot to like about it. I really enjoy the business process framework. It's something that's really seamless. It allows you to have people within the flow. They get assigned a task to complete something to approve, etc. That's a really good piece of functionality that Workday offers. Their out-of-the-box reporting framework is also really powerful in terms of what it provides. These would be two things that I would highlight."
"I like that it's easy to use and flexible."
"It is quite user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Workday is the ease of navigation to browse the application. The solution can hold information about the company and people with accounts can be discovered by others in the whole company."
"We like the fact that this solution is very user-friendly, with a straightforward user interface."
"The platform itself is very robust and I generally like the reporting and analytics capability."
"It's actually a cloud-native solution and based on the community for development. It is a very good open architecture and able to interconnect with other systems. And it is very stable and very fast in terms of response."
"On-site cloud support is slow and unresponsive."
"They should have a nicer way to handle very high volumes of data because we deal with really high volumes, and sometimes, we end up with performance issues."
"The system has bugs, is not user friendly, and requires too much customization."
"Technical support is focused on-cloud versus on-premise customers."
"The initial setup was a little complex."
"We need more user-friendly fast formulas for all HRMS modules."
"Pricing is the biggest disadvantage of Oracle."
"There are some cycles in HR that are not straightforward."
"This solution needs to be more configurable and user-friendly."
"SAP HCM has many different channels for communication with the consultants which makes it complex. There are delays when there is a problem."
"System usability is a challenge."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The breadth of functionality offered by SAP HCM comes at a cost."
"The product's license is very expensive."
"Reporting systems should be improved. If you want to report it on paper, if you want something more BI oriented, more high level predictive or more data-driven, it should be improved."
"Workday does not support many Korean language features. So, it will be great if they have some development on the Korean language side – then it will be really powerful in our market."
"The solution needs to be updated with generative UI."
"They could provide a web chatbot feature in the dashboard for Workday."
"Workday could improve by adding other features, such as messaging to candidates and other recruiting capabilities that other new-age solutions have."
"One potential feature that could be added is the ability to streamline business processes through quick tips and guided tours. This would allow for a smoother and more guided experience for colleagues as they navigate through different processes and steps. It would be similar to a guidance system or a step-by-step tutorial that could be added after the business process to guide users through it."
"The implementation could have gone a little smoother."
"In terms of reporting, we have to rely on a consultant to do the report customization. The most important thing is to be able to do your own reporting, which it can't do. We rely so much on our consultant to customize reports for us."
