The self-service helps increase employee loyalty
The reporting could use some improvement. It doesn't shorten the data that it displays to the employee. At the moment you have to scroll through all of the results in order to find what you are looking for. Another improvement that should be implemented in the next release is the appraisal. For the appraisal model, we have to go to another solution because the one included is not supporting us in our needs.

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

"This solution increases the employees' loyalty to the organization since everything regarding their salary, health, insurance, etc. is there, and the employees can also check to see what activity is done on their files."
"The integration between the different models like personnel administration, work management, payroll, and time management are the most valuable and key features."
"I like the talent, recruitment, and learning features the most."
"The most valuable feature, in my view, is the level of exceptions or error messages that come back when something goes wrong."
"I think HCM was the most stable for me...It is a very scalable product."
"We are satisfied with the reporting by SAP HCM."
"It is a pretty stable solution."
"The stability of the solution is pretty good overall."
"The most valuable feature is Organizational Management (OM)."
 

Cons

"The reporting could use some improvement."
"SAP HCM has many different channels for communication with the consultants which makes it complex. There are delays when there is a problem."
"Integration is challenging and companies are struggling when it comes to integration between HCM and other systems."
"Processing large volumes of data during processes such as payroll is time consuming, which could be an area to work on."
"SAP HCM needs to be more customizable to fit unique organizational processes."
"The support wasn't that good."
"There's still room for improvement. We need end-to-end systems. Only the HR team uses HCM, but employees don't have access to their data. With Employee Central, employees can see their ratings, increment cycles, and other details, making things more transparent."
"I would say the speed of SAP HCM tool might need some optimization."
"The extensibility of the integration could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We have an annual license for this solution, and the price depends on the number of users."
"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 purchase the product's yearly license."
"I believe HCM is a little expensive, but I don't know the exact price because I'm involved with the sales team. However, I think the price must be reasonable because many organizations are migrating their current ERPs to SAP. It's excellent software, and the price is competitive."
"The product is expensive."
"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."
"Licensing is pretty complex. SAP does not have a straight forward way of licensing, and it differs from client to client."
"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."
