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.

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

"The payroll and time management features are useful."
"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 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."
"The integration provided by SAP between different modules is very good."
"Ensures a single source of data for downstream systems use."
"HCM is a very important module that each organization should want to use. It will help any organization to calculate and control the cost of their human resources."
"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

"It would be nice if the solution migrated to S/4HANA, although this is not an immediate need of ours."
"SAP is also very hard to integrate."
"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."
"System usability is a challenge."
"SAP HCM needs to be more customizable to fit unique organizational processes."
"Its reporting feature could have customization options."
"SAP HCM has helped a lot due to the always changing government regulations pertaining to taxation, social security service, and local regulations that change frequently."
"The support wasn't that good."
"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

"We have an annual license for this solution, and the price depends on the number of users."
"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."
"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."
"For implementation, SAP offers little support unless you buy SAP Safeguarding from SAP Consulting."
"The solution is cheap."
"You pay per license. There not any costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"In my view, this product is a waste of money for SMB because there are much better products available and licensing is an issue."
"Be careful and guard against future changes in licensing."
"ZingHR is a less expensive solution than others, such as SAP SuccessFactors."
"ZingHR is not expensive."
