Find out in this report how the two Benefits Administration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"Recently, the localization versions for different countries were increased, and that added value to the solution."
"We've found that the solution has the capability to scale."
"Technical support is excellent."
"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."
"The setup was straightforward."
"They have some interesting features in the learning space."
"SAP HCM has a good performance."
"SAP HCM can handle a large number of employees. We can easily process payrolls and check the arrangements, and the client can also check the performance of the employees. Additionally, it has some advanced features."
"I found the analysis features to be very useful for our company. I also found the modules installed to be aligned with our company's KPIs. These were the two features that stood out."
"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."
"We use this solution to manage financials, payroll and recruiting."
"Workday is a secure product."
"The solution is stable."
"The user interface is good and very easy to use."
"There is a lot of scope for customization with this solution"
"It's easy to set up."
"It would be nice if the solution migrated to S/4HANA."
"I'm currently working for a state-owned government company, and we need to follow some standards and regulations. We also have a strategy to be followed. Sometimes the template and the format are not available in the SAP HCM, so we have to work around this limitation. The tax also sometimes changes in my country, and we have to redo everything to change the payroll calculations, benefits, and things like that. The talent management feature can be improved. It is currently very simple in SAP HCM. SAP is also very hard to integrate. In terms of monitoring, there are no monitoring tools, but as long as we take care of the disk capacity, there is no problem."
"The speed of technical support can be improved."
"The current platform is quite rigid and not as flexible and end-user friendly as other HR solutions."
"The extensibility of the integration could be improved."
"The solution is rather expensive."
"SAP HCM has many different channels for communication with the consultants which makes it complex. There are delays when there is a problem."
"There needs to be a renovation of the interface and functionalities of the talent management modules."
"The user interface can be enhanced."
"The implementation could have gone a little smoother."
"The security console should be made less complex."
"The user interface could be modernized somehow."
"It is very unique as compared to other tools in terms of the employee master data and how it is organized. That's why sometimes the information needs to sit in two different systems because, in Workday, it is organized differently. This issue is not related to benefits. It is more or so related to how you categorize employees. I don't think this is a problem that could be solved. Workday is aware of this. It is one of those kinds of situations that you just got to live with."
"The navigation of Workday is good but could be better."
"The user interface could be better. Everything else was fine."
"I would be happy if it was faster. Currently, when I try to navigate within the solution itself, it is a bit slow in terms of the page load time. When I click on something, it usually takes time to load. When you click on different icons or areas on the website, it is slow. Even when you navigate between different models, it is a bit slow. I would like to see a bit faster performance and a better user experience."
