Senior Systems and Information Analyst with 1,001-5,000 employees
Creates user defined screens, which are then reportable
Flexibility in terms of customisation does come at the expense of ease of use. It is not the easiest system to manage from a system administrator point of view. Whilst obviously not unmanageable, you will need to develop expertise in teams to manage the back end of the system internally within the organisation.

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 ability to create user defined screens, which are then reportable, allows us to capture specialised information that would not necessarily be considered core HR data for most organisations, and as a university, the ability to produce our HESA return using the dedicated module is invaluable."
"MyView is easy to configure, and Auto Enrolment is excellent as you can automate letters and templates."
"I would recommend ResourceLink and it is a highly customisable solution to any organisation, but they would need to employ a System Analyst to fully implement the system due to the size and complexities."
"SAP gives the best automation solution, which not only reduces paperwork but also with minimal manpower we can obtain maximum results."
"The compliance management functionality is quite good."
"The tool's most valuable features for our HR operations include easy reporting capabilities, which allow us to generate reports for management meetings and auditing purposes. Additionally, it supports appointment preparation and processing benefits."
"The most valuable feature is Organizational Management (OM)."
"The localization packages and, of late, the Rapid Deployment Solutions have proved to be immensely time saving and thus have made SAP implementations monetarily viable for the SME sector."
"The setup was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature, in my view, is the level of exceptions or error messages that come back when something goes wrong."
"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."
 

Cons

"Customer service is questionable at best recently; we have experienced issues with patches and installation of additional modules, which has caused delays on some projects and meant senior managers of the school have had to be involved in escalating issues."
"Their product is not overly intuitive when setting up new processes, but MyView is very easy to use."
"Leave Management needs to be significantly enhanced and ACs need to be trained fully on the product."
"The payroll area for managing employee salaries has room for improvement; Payroll area for managing employee salary, regarding SAP HCM system, is an area with complex issues because Italian tax and labor legislation and regulations are often changed; so several implementations of this module need custom integration from a consultant."
"The Time Management feature is not very user-friendly."
"We are able to optimize a lot of processes but there is always room for improvement."
"HCM could improve compatibility, making it more accessible via web applications and graphical interfaces."
"SAP HCM has many different channels for communication with the consultants which makes it complex. There are delays when there is a problem."
"SAP is not ready to sell the license on time and delays the progress of projects."
"The solution is rather expensive."
"SAP needs a total upgrade to the user interface. I've worked with the performance module and the objectives and goals module in HCM and they're far from being satisfying to any customer compared to what exists now with SuccessFactors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product is expensive."
"Be careful and guard against future changes in licensing."
"We have an annual license for this solution, and the price depends on the number of users."
"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."
"The terms on which you buy licenses might change due to the way they license in a particular product."
"SAP is extremely expensive. The integration costs and customization costs are also a lot."
"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."
"For implementation, SAP offers little support unless you buy SAP Safeguarding from SAP Consulting."
