A scalable solution with good functionalities, but customer support needs to improve
Customer support and getting help from MHR iTrent are not great at all. MHR iTrent concentrates too much on sales, like a selling mechanism. They don't concentrate on helping their existing clients get the most out of the solution. All they're interested in is selling you something else to add on.

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

"MHR iTrent's functionality and the payroll part are good."
"The retrospection feature within iTrent is really good and better than what some other software provides. It's really useful."
"The stability and reliability of SAP HCM product are really nice, very helpful, and secured."
"I think HCM was the most stable for me...It is a very scalable product."
"SAP gives the best automation solution, which not only reduces paperwork but also with minimal manpower we can obtain maximum results."
"The payroll suite is very valuable."
"They have some interesting features in the learning space."
"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."
"The compliance management functionality is quite good."
"The user interface is the solution's most valuable feature, as it makes it easy for us to use."
 

Cons

"Customer support and getting help from MHR iTrent are not great at all."
"MHR's customer service needs to improve. It's dreadful at the moment. They're not very customer-focused."
"SAP is not a last generation system. Users experience the use of the system as it was in 1998."
"The solution is rather expensive."
"I would like it to move more towards a single data space, a single data source. SAP as a platform relies on multiple data sources because traditionally, it's been bolted together by the acquisition of other products rather than a single database. That's why there are lots of points of failure and lots of required points of integration. They need a single integration point."
"It takes a long time to apply an update patch to the system."
"SAP is not ready to sell the license on time and delays the progress of projects."
"We are not planning to continue to use it at all. We are moving away from it entirely."
"SAP is not ready to sell the license on time and delays the progress of projects. It's better to work with a competitor like Oracle. Those that are selling the product just go through powerpoints and don't have the knowledge necessary to sell. They can't answer any questions."
"Regarding vSAN ReadyNodes, there needs to be a clear assessment of areas that require improvement from the product perspective."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
"We purchase the product's yearly license."
"We have an annual license for this solution, and the price depends on the number of users."
"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 solution is a little expensive and we are charged per user for the license. The solution can be paid monthly or annually."
"For implementation, SAP offers little support unless you buy SAP Safeguarding from SAP Consulting."
"The pricing is not reasonable at all."
"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."
