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, in my view, is the level of exceptions or error messages that come back when something goes wrong.

Belinda Pearson

I think HCM was the most stable for me...It is a very scalable product.

Vasu Narasimha

It's very suitable for large, multi-geography companies but also very suitable for medium companies with multi-geography operations.

Solomon Gummadi

We have features such as ABKRS based on the client's requirement, tariff and TMSTA, and so on.

Faisal_Khan

It is a scalable solution. There are three administrators maintaining the solution: an HR person, a payroll person, and one backup.

Fachlul Infithar

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.

Dave Dumeni

Technical support is excellent.

Diop Aissatou

The platform is simple to use and has a user-friendly dashboard and integration features.

SAP now does the most innovation for the cloud solution and less innovation for the on-premises client.

It takes a long time to apply an update patch to the system.

Belinda Pearson

Managing changes in applications can be challenging since it complicates testing and unit testing, resulting in longer testing phases. This time-consuming process often leaves little room for actual work.

Vasu Narasimha

A better user interface and greater AI integration are crucial.

Solomon Gummadi

There are already success factors for the cloud solution which cannot be integrated into S/4 HANA.

Faisal_Khan

The breadth of functionality offered by SAP HCM comes at a cost.

Fachlul Infithar

I'm currently working for a state-owned government company, and we need to follow some standards and regulations. We also have a strategy to be followed. Sometimes the template and the format are not available in the SAP HCM, so we have to work around this limitation. The tax also sometimes changes in my country, and we have to redo everything to change the payroll calculations, benefits, and things like that.The talent management feature can be improved. It is currently very simple in SAP HCM. SAP is also very hard to integrate. In terms of monitoring, there are no monitoring tools, but as long as we take care of the disk capacity, there is no problem.

Dave Dumeni

The current platform is quite rigid and not as flexible and end-user friendly as other HR solutions.

Diop Aissatou

The product's license is very expensive.

Ahmed_Kamal

It was difficult to deploy. There were challenges regarding configurations and implementation. So, we had a lot of issues.
