A cloud-oriented HRMS that needs to be more flexible and improve offline support

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We've found that the solution has the capability to scale."
"The setup was straightforward."
"SAP HCM has valuable features for analytics data management."
"I like the talent, recruitment, and learning features the most."
"All of the core processes are very valuable aspects of the solution. These include personnel, administration, organizational structure, and payroll."
"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 most valuable feature is the Personnel Administration."
"The payroll and time management features are useful."
"The solution is a cloud HRMS, which makes it a self-sufficient model. You can do a lot of things without taking anybody's help."
"The most valuable feature of ZingHR is the data bulk uploading and downloading."
 

Cons

"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 product's license is very expensive."
"The limitation of HCM compared to new-era human capital management solutions is the cost."
"On the personnel administration side, it's very difficult to do custom development."
"There needs to be a renovation of the interface and functionalities of the talent management modules."
"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."
"System usability is a challenge."
"This solution needs to be more configurable and user-friendly."
"ZingHR is not flexible and needs to improve offline support."
"ZingHR could improve by giving administration users from the front end the ability to make corrections. I am having to do the bulk corrections from an Excel upload from the system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cheap."
"The product is expensive."
"SAP is extremely expensive. The integration costs and customization costs are also a lot."
"You pay per license. There not any costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"We have an annual license for this solution, and the price depends on the number of users."
"We purchase the product's yearly license."
"HCM is cheaper than SuccessFactors."
"In my view, this product is a waste of money for SMB because there are much better products available and licensing is an issue."
"ZingHR is a less expensive solution than others, such as SAP SuccessFactors."
"ZingHR is not expensive."
