Pros
"Ramco HCM stands out due to its reliability and up-to-date compliance with legal, statutory, and regulatory requirements.""Payroll processing is very easy. SQL rules can be attached to any pay elements.""Ramco HCM is a stable system that doesn't have downtime or fluctuation issues. It can also take large volumes and scale up very fast.""Ramco is user-friendly. The UA is excellent and so easy to use that a customer can easily understand the process with zero knowledge of the system. We can easily walk a new user through the user guide. For each ESS MSS, I can log in to the ESS access. and documentation is available.""In general, the solution is very flexible and can be configured in multiple ways.""The performance management system is really good.""Once we implemented this solution, it was customizable for our needs and this has been the most valuable aspect of this solution.""It is a good product, and it is suitable for different client requirements. It has customization options and flexibility. You can customize a report or configure the workflow based on your requirements. Everything is there in the product, and you can customize it as per your requirement. Our clients found the automation of the payroll, leave attendance, and onboarding modules the most valuable. The Time and Attendance module is fully integrated with this solution and supports multiple data entry modes, such as barcode, biometric device, fingerprints, and face reading. Its core HR module includes features like movement, expense management, exit, and separation. The compensation and benefits module includes features like welfare, retirement, and superannuation. It also has analytical tools. You can create a real-time report based on your requirements. You can also publish that report in different formats, such as Excel, PDF, HTML, etc. It has a chatbot feature, which is using machine learning and natural language. You can ask questions about your leave balance, attendance, or things like that, and you will get an immediate reply from the chatbot. It also supports approval through email."

"Easy to use and user-friendly.""The performance of the solution is very good.""SuccessFactors' best features are talent management and HR Analytics.""They have succeeded in sustaining a powerful system supporting their philosophy.""The most important feature is the ability to follow up on the yearly performance of the team. It's very good for management to understand how people are performing.""SAP SuccessFactors, in my opinion, is the best cloud-based HR solution tool for any size business.""The tool's most valuable feature is its integration capabilities with on-premise ERPs and other systems.""One of the most wonderful features is the ability to customize the modules and workflows. So far, we've done a fair bit of customization and it is helping us a lot and really adds to the value we already get from SuccessFactors."

Cons
"Ramco could be a bit faster and offer more use cases. A prime aim is to get analytics and this is lacking in Ramco. This lack of reporting is one of the reasons we are moving away from using Ramco.""The product itself sometimes feels inconsistent because it comes with bugs.""They can improve the configuration time because it takes more time than other products to configure the system. It could be because they are managing this single product for all countries, but it would be good if they improve the implementation time because we need to implement the solutions within a timeline. They should provide some kind of auto-configuration so that the system can be configured and implemented within a certain timeline. Implementors should have a provision to configure the system in a short time. There should also be an option to move the setup or configuration from staging to production to save time. These types of automation should be there.""The talent management and performance appraisal modules could use some improvement.""The mobile app for this solution could be improved as it lacks many features.""The mobile app and web page user experience could be more user friendly.""The entire UI/UX of the solution can be improved drastically.""One area for improvement in Ramco HCM is its UI, which could be more intuitive. Another area for improvement in the system is that it can be challenging to make some modular-based changes to it."

More Ramco HCM Cons →

"The Reporting/Analytics and User Interface need improvement.""SAP SuccessFactors' pricing structure could be improved.""I don't think SuccessFactors is quite fit for use as an employee database.""It is not that user-friendly. It can be made more user-friendly.""SAP resources are at the high end and anything you want to change or any customization is expensive.""The pricing of SAP is quite high.""We lack information regarding how to build a network.""Overall, the documentation could be improved, and I think the learning management module needs to include more capabilities when it comes to matching an organization's particular learning approach."

  • More Ramco HCM Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The licensing fees are based on the number of modules that are being used, and the number of users."
  • "I don't want to comment on the license cost, to be honest. It could be about $1,000 approximately per customer. However, it's very flexible in terms of the licensing costs depending on the volume and depending on the deal of installation."
  • "If you go by best practices and do it right from the outset, the setup won't be a costly endeavor. In terms of setup, there is a lot of flexibility compared to three years ago."
  • "It could be cheaper."
  • "We have a yearly license. There are no additional costs."
  • "SAP SuccessFactors requires an annual subscription."
  • "It is not expensive because it is a complete suite with a module-based cost."

We recently implemented a learning platform that employs the individual staff to actually manage their own learning. They can do it at their own pace. SuccessFactors allows you to manage your team, have calibration for promotion, and you can generate reports and see how you're doing.” - Alaba O., IT Asset Management Lead at Dangote Industries Limited
