Centralizes HR workflows and has transformed how I manage performance and daily tasks
Regarding Keka Performance's AI capabilities, its accuracy and reliability of output are good. Time-to-time trainings have been provided by the Keka team, and Keka conducts big seminars that share updates to our HR, which are then conveyed to us. Keka Performance has positively impacted my organization because initially, we had a manual HR process through a very small platform, and after launching Keka to our company, it has been a very smooth process for us and the process has also been escalated. The process became smoother with Keka Performance mainly because I have saved time. Initially, the platform we used had many manual questions that needed to be written manually, and one-to-one meetings went for long. However, with objectives and performance metrics, and the answers given by the employee, it is very easy for us to manage the performance cycle along with our tasks. The part of Keka Performance cycle I find most valuable is that we add objectives to our performances, and equal weightage or respective weightage has been assigned to each objective, which can be updated on a daily or weekly basis. Performances are usually monitored by the end of the quarter, and I think that is the best part.

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

"The interface is good."
"My advice for others looking into using Keka Performance is that if anyone is looking for a platform that has all the capabilities, whether it be performance, HR, or admin, Keka Performance is an all-in-one platform."
"We've found that the solution has the capability to scale."
"SAP HCM has a good performance."
"The payroll function in SAP HCM has been most beneficial for managing global workforces. We plan to use goal management and KPI features to link to payroll through the SAP SuccessFactors module."
"The OpenShift user interface is user-friendly, making it easier for anyone to perform tasks compared to Kubernetes, and we have operators that help us rectify issues easily and identify which APIs or Pods are experiencing problems."
"Sometimes, employees may have pending requests that need approval, so you should check those and clear any errors to ensure smooth processing."
"The stability of the solution is pretty good overall."
"We have managed to consolidate our payroll for all India operations on this platform."
"Core HR data management for employee and organizational data is very stable and flexible."
 

Cons

"The solution must provide project or task management features."
"I think Keka Performance can be improved by adding a live chatbot to it, which would be useful when someone new is using Keka Performance."
"System usability is a challenge."
"Managing changes in applications can be challenging since it complicates testing and unit testing, resulting in longer testing phases. This time-consuming process often leaves little room for actual work."
"This solution needs to be more configurable and user-friendly."
"Reports need to be added on the time management side."
"The limitation of HCM compared to new-era human capital management solutions is the cost."
"SAP HCM is costly compared to other ERPs like Microsoft Dynamics or Oracle, and I would rate the cost as one out of ten."
"The Time Management feature is not very user-friendly."
"It's intuitive, but not as intuitive or user-friendly as it should be. It's 2017, and I should be able to click once and just breeze through it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It would be good if the product were cheaper."
"SAP is extremely expensive. The integration costs and customization costs are also a lot."
"Licensing is pretty complex. SAP does not have a straight forward way of licensing, and it differs from client to client."
"The pricing depends upon the specific model and number of user accounts included in a bundle."
"In my view, this product is a waste of money for SMB because there are much better products available and licensing is an issue."
"The product is expensive."
"The solution is a little expensive and we are charged per user for the license. The solution can be paid monthly or annually."
"We purchase the product's yearly license."
"The cost of SAP HCM is high, the license should be reduced. SAP HCM has a lot of hidden costs."
