A cloud-oriented HRMS that needs to be more flexible and improve offline support

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Recently, the localization versions for different countries were increased, and that added value to the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the Personnel Administration."
"I think HCM was the most stable for me...It is a very scalable product."
"The setup was straightforward."
"It simplifies everything for human capital management, and all users can do self-enrollment for leaves and those kinds of things. The employee self-service feature is quite a powerful feature for me. You can install it on your mobile phone or iPad and do your employee service activity there."
"The integration between the different models like personnel administration, work management, payroll, and time management are the most valuable and key features."
"I feel SAP HCM is very competitive and worth the investment given its capability to integrate modules and provide comprehensive value."
"The payroll suite is very valuable."
"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

"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."
"SAP HCM is costly compared to other ERPs like Microsoft Dynamics or Oracle, and I would rate the cost as one out of ten."
"We are able to optimize a lot of processes but there is always room for improvement."
"SAP HCM has many different channels for communication with the consultants which makes it complex. There are delays when there is a problem."
"It is a bit tedious and manual to work with."
"The speed of technical support can be improved."
"On the personnel administration side, it's very difficult to do custom development."
"The product's license is very expensive."
"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."
"ZingHR is not flexible and needs to improve offline support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"HCM is cheaper than SuccessFactors."
"Be careful and guard against future changes in licensing."
"The cost of SAP HCM is high, the license should be reduced. SAP HCM has a lot of hidden costs."
"We purchase the product's yearly license."
"SAP is extremely expensive. The integration costs and customization costs are also a lot."
"The pricing is not reasonable at all."
"The pricing is around the middle, at a five out of ten. But it depends on the number of licenses. More licenses mean lower per-user costs. You need to understand how to play the volume game and the growth."
"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."
"ZingHR is not expensive."
"ZingHR is a less expensive solution than others, such as SAP SuccessFactors."
