CG
Director at Edge HR
Has all-inclusive pricing and good talent acquisition and onboarding components, and is an excellent product for mid-sized to large organizations
They could probably add surveying, as in engagement surveys, to their product. That would be something that would be valued by their customers. For instance, Culture Amp is a product that does a lot of the engagement stuff. They're diversifying into other aspects of talent management. It is not yet at the same scale as PageUp People, but it is an excellent product as well.

Assistant Manager at Kashiv Biosciences
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

"I loved that function, as it made it SO much easier to work out the logistics of those days, and allowing candidates to book their own time slot was a lifesaver as it would have been a nightmare trying to do it for them."
"I have recommended PageUp to a lot of my networks due to the fact that it is one of the best systems on the market in terms of functionality, support, and reporting capability."
"It has a user-friendly interface in managing job requisitions for the end user."
"PageUp has a different model from other organizations; as part of their pricing structure, they tend to work with you very closely and not charge you for the setup, so there is one price all inclusive of setup, and for that reason, they become an attractive provider to work with."
"If you are looking for a product with great support, recruitment functionality, ease-of-use, and reliability, this is a great product."
"This product is user-friendly and great for reporting purposes."
"PageUp has allowed us to integrate all HR systems and manage all processes associated with the employee lifecycle from recruitment through to managing performance, learning and development; also where applicable, departures from the organisation processes."
"It is a reliable, simple to use, end-to-end system for employee lifecycle management."
"The functions are really important in the product in ReadyNodes."
"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."
"Integration with all business processes, standard features, flexibility in configuration, full scalability."
"The integration provided by SAP between different modules is very good."
"SAP HCM has a good performance."
"They have some interesting features in the learning space."
"I think it's extremely stable; generally speaking, I think it's exceptionally reliable."
"They provide the most stable and powerful technology in the areas of human resources, information systems, and ERP."
 

Cons

"Initially, we experienced issues with the stability of the learning management module as we migrated 50,000+ existing training records from our old system."
"The ability to pull reports was limited for us."
"It is probably not as scalable as SAP SuccessFactors or other talent management systems that are available in the global marketplace."
"The on-boarding process, with specific relation to the provisioning process, isn’t set up as well as other competitors, such as RedCarpet (SilkRoad)."
"There are sometimes problems when loading the system; it can be very slow."
"In the Boolean search functions, I would like to be able to search CVs in regards to the skills using the AND/OR functions as well as keywords."
"The automated removal of historical data would be great if the user could remove it on an ad-hoc basis when required."
"Maybe there is a need to improve the interface so that we will be able to easily search for modules in regards to the system fix."
"SAP now does the most innovation for the cloud solution and less innovation for the on-premises client."
"Its reporting feature could have customization options."
"There needs to be a renovation of the interface and functionalities of the talent management modules."
"There's still room for improvement. We need end-to-end systems. Only the HR team uses HCM, but employees don't have access to their data. With Employee Central, employees can see their ratings, increment cycles, and other details, making things more transparent."
"The limitation of HCM compared to new-era human capital management solutions is the cost."
"This solution needs to be more configurable and user-friendly."
"The organizational structure visualization could be improved in future releases. The solution has a very poor interface."
"Scalability can be challenging from a cost perspective. If a company has the budget, they opt for the enterprise level."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PageUp has a different model from other organizations. As part of their pricing structure, they tend to work with you very closely and not charge you for the setup. So, there is one price all inclusive of setup, and for that reason, they become an attractive provider to work with. Here in Australia, the education sector has gravitated very heavily towards PageUp."
"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
"HCM is cheaper than SuccessFactors."
"Licensing is pretty complex. SAP does not have a straight forward way of licensing, and it differs from client to client."
"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."
"You pay per license. There not any costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The product is expensive."
"In my view, this product is a waste of money for SMB because there are much better products available and licensing is an issue."
