SAP HCM Reviews

We begin using this solution when we hire an employee. We input all of their family details, bank details, and the wage we decide on during the interview. We enter all of their initial information in SAP, then we generate their new employee number. 

I think that it's a very powerful tool for maintaining your company data. When you maintain your data in SAP, you can generate any kind of HR report with one click.

We input all of our workflows into SAP to make our work environment better. All of our new projects and new policies will be implemented in SAP. It would be very helpful for our company if a new version was released with the ability to contain all of the things that we have newly introduced in our company.

I have been using this solution for 12-13 years. 

This solution is stable. 

600-700 people use this solution in our company. The supply chain management department, internal audit department, IT, and the administration department use SAP HCM. 

I would rate the technical support as a five out of five. With the support team, you can easily satisfy your clients.

We have an annual license for this solution, and the price depends on the number of users. 

My company chose this solution because it is very important and famous all over the world, and its reporting tool is very good. I would recommend it, and my advice to someone considering this solution is that it is a very user-friendly software. I would rate it as a ten out of ten. 

SAP HCM has totally integrated our work. We left a manual environment, and much of our work is now automated with this solution. 

SAP HCM is used by our clients for all their business processes, such as HR, finance, procurement, and supply chains.

SAP HCM has a good performance.

SAP HCM could improve by having more resources and making it more user-friendly. It is complex.

I have been using SAP HCM for approximately 20 years.

The stability of SAP HCM is good.

SAP HCM is a scalable solution.

We have over 20 clients using this solution.

The support services are not good for SAP HCM. It could be faster.

I have previously used other solutions, such as Oracle.

The initial implementation of SAP HCM is complicated. It's complicated for users and for implementers. It took a lot of time to do the implementation. For example, to do the complete UK payroll implementation, can take approximately nine months.

The amount of people we need to support the solution depends on the project, but per client support, you need approximately 10 people to support one client.

The cost of SAP HCM is high, the license should be reduced. SAP HCM has a lot of hidden costs.

There are two people have to do before implementing SAP HCM. One is the license cost. SAP HCM has a lot of hidden costs. They charge per module, they should be aware of what exactly they are going to use. They have to be clear about whether SAP HCM is a good solution for them or possibly another one, such as Oracle.

I rate SAP HCM a seven out of ten.

We basically use the solution to do all our HR management processes. That includes our payroll processes and our personal administration. We use time management as well as recruitment processes on the system.

The solution is deployed on-premises.

HCM is actually moving over to the cloud, which is Success Factors or S/4HANA.  It's a better solution than the current platform because the current platform is quite rigid and not as flexible and end-user friendly as other HR solutions. 

This is a transaction driven type of system, whereby a user actually has to know or understand a certain transaction code.

If they have no idea, they will not be able to do anything. From that perspective, there are a couple of drawbacks. The solution is of course not as flexible. It's more than an application. It was the best back then, but things have evolved and technology has evolved significantly. People want easier to work with applications.

The graphic user interface could be improved. It's not for a use of 20. I think the most improvement will be on the front-end than the back-end.

I have been using this solution for over 12 years. I am using version ECC 6.0.

SAP HCM is stable.

It is scalable. We have approximately 1,300 employees in our organization. They are using the system either directly or indirectly. Indirectly in the sense that we have the employee portal, where the employees actually use the self-service portal and can do their own things, like leave applications. Almost everyone in the organization uses the system, but of course in a different way.

Right now, we don't have any plans to increase usage in the future.

Technical support is excellent.

Initial setup was complex. On a scale of one to five, I would give it a four.

It normally takes over a year to implement these types of solutions. 

We used the SAP partner for deployment. Our experience was quite good.

I would rate this solution 8 out of 10.

The current solution is phasing out. If you are purchasing it, then it shouldn't be for long-term usage. I think SAP has customers' usage up to 20 or 25 for the current platform, by which everyone needs to upgrade to their newer versions or newer applications. Otherwise, if you are planning to implement HCM in the current type of module and version, then you actually are not doing justice to yourself. I would advise that you go for Success Factors, which has a fresher look and maybe some other tools that are available.

We use the solution as an ERP system for enterprise business.

The solution has the best customization features. It provides good data management features and integration with enterprise resource management platforms.

The solution's reporting feature could have customization options. Also, its dashboard features need to be better compared to Oracle.

We have been using the solution for seven years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is challenging to scale compared to Oracle, which is easier to understand. Our organization has over 100 solutions users from the material management, finance, and networking departments.

We have our IT support department for technical queries. So, we never directly contact the solution's technical support team.

The solution's initial setup process is time-consuming. Also, we need to hire resources for customized reports apart from maintenance.

The solution is more expensive than Oracle. 

In comparison with the solution, Oracle is more cost-effective. Also, it has a more straightforward process for customizing reports based on our requirements. We can create reports with customized designs using it.

I recommend the solution to others and rate it an eight out of ten. It provides a complete ERP system.

We use this solution for all of the organization's HR needs.

Most of it is similar to Oracle HCM. 

They have some interesting features in the learning space.

The extensibility that SuccessFactors talks about is when we are required to create an add-on solution or a small application, that could be developed within the ecosystem of the Oracle HCM itself, and then integrate it easily. 

This is a feature that we can look forward to seeing in  SAP as well.

The extensibility of the integration could be improved.

I have a lot of experience with SAP. I have been working with SAP for nine years.

We are using the latest version.

I have no issues with the stability of SAP HCM.

SAP HCM is a scalable product.

We have approximately 32,000 users in our organization who use this solution.

Technical support is a strong team.

The initial setup was straightforward. It was good.

Licensing fees are paid yearly.

I would rate SAP HCM an eight out of ten.

We use SAP HCM as a human resources management system for tasks, such as payroll and attendance.

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. 

It can be integrated into any platform and is very secure. It's very difficult to access SAP's database, and if anyone tries to log in, his computer's name and password amongst other information will be saved in the system. We can integrate your fingerprint in the system to automatically log in to the system. The integration is very good with other applications.

I have been using SAP HCM for approximately six years.

The solution is stable.

SAP HCM is scalable, the client can modify according to their needs.

We have approximately 500 people using this solution.

The support has been very good.

You can implement SAP HCM in three months minimum, and if you need more customization, then it can take more time.

We have up to thirty engineers available to do the implementation and maintenance of the solution. The size of the deployment dictates how many engineers we will need.

The solution is a little expensive and we are charged per user for the license. The solution can be paid monthly or annually.

I rate SAP HCM a seven out of ten.

I used it for learning and talent management, employee self-service, and the n2n process for HRIS.

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.

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. 

I have been using this solution since 2014. 

It is quite stable because we run it on the IBM AIX platform, which is quite powerful. The CPU allocation is maintained by us. We use the DB2 database. In terms of power, machine performance, and availability, it is quite stable.

It is definitely scalable because we have an on-premises solution. It is very simple to add memory, processor, or disk capacity.

We got the principal support from SAP. We also have support from a business partner to do all the implementation and maintenance. We don't have any issues related to support.

I am also using SuccessFactors. SAP HCM has got talent management, but it is not as detailed as in SuccessFactors. In terms of HR management, SAP HCM has got more features and more details than SuccessFactors.

It is totally customized. The full deployment or rolling it out fully takes one to two years.

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.

The best thing to do is to identify whether you will need integration with other applications or solutions. If you don't look at this aspect in terms of future implementation, it will give you a hard time later on while doing the integration.

I would rate SAP HCM an eight out of ten.

We use SAP HCM to store and manage organizational data such as OM data, job profile data, solution data, HC data, and call center data.

Currently, we are in the process of migrating our SAP HR system to Workday. This is the process that I am involved in at the moment.

The most valuable feature is Organizational Management (OM).

This solution needs to be more configurable and user-friendly.

People who work with HCM need to have the proper knowledge of coding.

I have been using SAP HCM for more than two years.

The scalability is good. We have between 1,000 and 3,000 users.

I have been in touch with technical support once or twice. Our problems were resolved very fast so I would say that the support is good.

We are currently in the process of migrating to Workday, which is more user-friendly.

The two solutions are similar; Workday has improved on some of the things that SAP can do, whereas SAP can do some things more efficiently. Also, SAP can do some things that Workday cannot. One example is the address formatting. For example, in India, the format of addresses is different than in the US and some other countries. We have had challenges mapping the addresses to Workday from SAP.

With Workday, you do not need to be a program developer.

SAP HCM is a solution that I recommend. It is a good product, but if it were more configurable and you did not need to develop as much code then it would be better.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
