Efficient payroll processing with comprehensive attendance management
I am currently heading the payroll benefits and HRIS team here in Manila. We are using SAP HCM on-premises, and we implemented SuccessFactors focusing on Employee Central and GMPM SAP HCM has helped a lot due to the always changing government regulations pertaining to taxation, social security…

A cloud-oriented HRMS that needs to be more flexible and improve offline support
We use ZingHR as a human resource management system. It helps us manage recruitment, generate offer letters, and maintain employee database and attendance.  The solution is a cloud HRMS, which makes it a self-sufficient model. You can do a lot of things without taking anybody's help.  ZingHR is…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We have features such as ABKRS based on the client's requirement, tariff and TMSTA, and so on."
"We have managed to consolidate our payroll for all India operations on this platform."
"I think HCM was the most stable for me...It is a very scalable product."
"The tool's best feature is SAP SuccessFactors."
"They provide the most stable and powerful technology in the areas of human resources, information systems, and ERP."
"SAP HCM is a powerful program that can greatly benefit organizations with its comprehensive features and integrations."
"The payroll and time management features are useful."
"When you maintain your data in SAP, you can generate any kind of HR report with one click."
"The most valuable feature of ZingHR is the data bulk uploading and downloading."
"The solution is a cloud HRMS, which makes it a self-sufficient model. You can do a lot of things without taking anybody's help."
 

Cons

"Reports need to be added on the time management side."
"The talent modules are lacking in HCM, so I would recommend switching to SuccessFactors for talent management, but HCM excels at time management and payroll."
"There are already success factors for the cloud solution which cannot be integrated into S/4 HANA."
"HCM could improve compatibility, making it more accessible via web applications and graphical interfaces."
"The organizational structure visualization could be improved in future releases. The solution has a very poor interface."
"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."
"What can be improved in SAP HCM depends on the industry it serves. The system's navigation could be simplified for users. The flow and integration between parts, like core HR, payroll, and recruiting, must be communicated properly. Users should focus on how doing things correctly from the start will improve things in the long run rather than feeling overwhelmed by tasks."
"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."
"ZingHR is not flexible and needs to improve offline support."
"ZingHR could improve by giving administration users from the front end the ability to make corrections. I am having to do the bulk corrections from an Excel upload from the system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"Be careful and guard against future changes in licensing."
"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 pricing depends upon the specific model and number of user accounts included in a bundle."
"The solution is a little expensive and we are charged per user for the license. The solution can be paid monthly or annually."
"The pricing is not reasonable at all."
"The solution is cheap."
"The cost of SAP HCM is high, the license should be reduced. SAP HCM has a lot of hidden costs."
"ZingHR is a less expensive solution than others, such as SAP SuccessFactors."
"ZingHR is not expensive."
