More PeopleStrong Cons →

"We find some challenges in the integration between SAP HCM and SAP SuccessFactors.""The breadth of functionality offered by SAP HCM comes at a cost.""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.""There are already success factors for the cloud solution which cannot be integrated into S/4 HANA.""It would be very helpful for our company if a new version was released with the ability to contain all of the things that we have newly introduced in our company.""It needs a lot of end user training as it is not intuitive at all.""SAP HCM has many different channels for communication with the consultants which makes it complex. There are delays when there is a problem.""The product's license is very expensive."
