The best software for HR professionals
Comments: My experience was very good, it is just what I received and I cannot complain, I would like it to be better but with the advancement of technologies this may change, those changes I would like to see and allow me to automate everything.
Pros:
The ease of use and its interface is very simple for those who have or not experience with the software
Cons:
I did not find something that I did not like, perhaps scaling the connection with artificial intelligence, it would be ideal to be able to connect all this with automated learning
Too Complicated if you do not need an Enterprise Solution
Pros:
It is a solid HCM System if you are a company with subsidiaries and need to connect them all and intend to utilize it as such.
Cons:
The system’s implementation, cost, and overall ease of use leave much to be desired, not to mention the customer service. The cost is particularly exorbitant, making it a poor choice unless you intend to use it as a comprehensive ERP system to connect subsidiaries. Its design is somewhat outdated, functioning more like a relationship database. Upgrades are a slow process, taking years to complete, while other HCM products are rapidly introducing new features to keep pace with technological advancements. Building out this system is a time-consuming process, and by the time it’s ready, newer options have already hit the market. It then takes additional years to integrate these new features. Considering the high implementation and ongoing costs, it would be more prudent to opt for other HCM systems. These alternatives offer similar modules that function effectively, but at a fraction of the cost.

Sometimes it takes very much time to respond to sudden commands , which makes process bit slower.

Delaval user
Pros:
Easy to use and simple. Android application also works fine.
Cons:
I don't get notifications in my application if, for example, my vacation request is accepted.
Alternatives Considered:
A Leading and reasonably cost effective end to end HR system
Comments: Overall this system meets our expectations. The platform is fast and stable.
Pros:
An end to end system to handle recruitment, onboarding through to employee management, absence, performance and succession planning and offboarding is not easy to find at this price point. The Integration Centre which can export data for use in other systems is feature rich and very fast for extracting data.
Cons:
Reporting, and not unlike any cloud systems, isnt as strong as it could be. It is somewhat clunky and cumbersome to create reports. SAP Support, so far, is extremely poor.
Product Review
Pros:
Product is configurable and easy to implement
Cons:
Customisation is least possible. However few are possible with good features
Alternatives Considered:
Adequate ATS Tool
Comments: The product gets the job done at the end of the day but it can be unpredictable most often than not. It's user friendly but also is not expansive enough to be a designed tool to function with increased creativity.
Pros:
The product is user friendly and the ability to perform basic functions works for daily use. The product asthetics are appealing .
Cons:
A lot of areas are in need of improvement. When software updates the next day there are always issues that arise that cause delays in daily tasks. External customers are limited in some user options that should not be restricted.

The main focus of SAP HCM is employee administration: which gives basic, personnel-related data, and leverages a centralized database that enables employees and management to access up-to-date, consistent information that supports HR- and business-related decisions.
Global employee management allows to supports processes involved in international employee relocation, including planning and preparation of global assignments to personnel administration and payroll for global employees managements.
Perfect Payroll and legal reporting which allows for large multi-regional countries payroll handling and support for legal regulations compliance with regulatory and reporting requirements.
Manager Self-Service (MSS) which provides managers with the information and application access for employee development, compensation planning (and approval), and budgeting.
Employee Self-Service (ESS) which provides employees (even if deployed globally) with the information, access, and tools to autonomously manage their own important life and work events.
Shared-Service Framework which is a multifunctional framework that allows for the same architecture to be deployed in support of HR, finance, IT, service center operations, and other business functions.
Pros:

Cons:
Training and SOX deployment is bit difficult
The best
Pros:
The most useful program I've ever used for HR
Cons:
inter-module integration can be further improved
Perfect one stop solution to manage employees database
Comments: Overall good and mature product. Have been using it for almost 2 years now and not a single time faced any issue. Must for medium to large scale organization.
Pros:
Very clean and simple UI which makes it easy to use, goal setting is very easy, good feature of requesting and giving feedback, good features in terms of employee directory search, course tracking is made easy and lots of other good features which I have used. Also one good feature is that you can customise your own ui with just simple drag and drop of tiles and arrange them according to your usage and importance.
Cons:
I personally feel that UI colors can be improved and its usually kept very simple. Good to add feature like giving badges when providing feedback.
SAP HCM
Comments: Payroll and Legal Reporting is near perfection, although with challenges (at least PT Location has challenges on the legal report side. All the HR information is gathered in one place, which allows for reporting and analytics to be deep and accurate.
Pros:
Talent management analytics: which allows for employee skill/qualification analysis;
Cons:
The learning curve of usability is a bit steep, although when you get the hang of it you won't believe how effective this software is.
Many features but hard to use
Pros:
- Employees familiar with SAP in other use-cases will have an easier time adapting to this version of the software. - Reporting functionality if powerful and capable to dealing with large amounts of data and pulling what data looked like on a particular time-frame.
Cons:
- Administrator interface is not intuitive and has a steep learning curve in order to use it. Requires a significant amount of time to train new administrators. - Learner portal is not well laid out and can be confusing for new employees.
Alternatives Considered:
SAP SuccessFactors - The HR Platform
Comments: SAP SuccessFactors was one stop solution for all the requirements related to HR.
Pros:
SAP SuccessFactors is a total one stop solution for almost all the HR functions such as Employee on-boarding, Performance Management, Payroll etc.
Cons:
As SAP SuccessFactors has a lot if functions and rolls, it is found little bit confusing to operate. If the main options made simplified, it will be great.
SAP? Nope?
Comments: The base its there, but unless you are running SAP everywhere it does not scale well.
Pros:
SAP is amazing in one thing, they have an incredible amount of software, I mean they build their entire enterprise on that! Success Factors is one of them, it is a HR management/training software. Many companies use it.
Cons:
However they are not very good at maintaining it. Success factors is prone to missing information, subpar support, and just straight up madness. I've had to handle tickets consecutively of missing information and just over all. It looks like a software out of 2003. It is simply garbage. It will not sync well with systems. My god its horrible. Please stay away
Decent but outdated compare to others
Pros:
The software integrated with other SAP tools which provide more choices for HR professionals to have everything in one go. It is also customizable depending on your organisation process/requirements.
Cons:
As it involves several different software it can be bit unstable at times specially during upgrades period
SAP SF
Comments: My overall experience with SAP SuccessFactors has been neutral.
Pros:
What I like most about this product is that it is a typical applicant tracking system. It gathers your candidates and as a recruiter, you can sort through the hay stack as a traditional recruiter.
Cons:
What I least like about the software is that there is no Artificial Intelligence in our software that could make it easier for the recruiters to do their tasks, such as sourcing.
