"Recently, the localization versions for different countries were increased, and that added value to the solution."
"We are satisfied with the reporting by SAP HCM."

"The user interface is the solution's most valuable feature. It makes it easy for us to use."
"It is a pretty stable solution."
"SAP HCM can handle a large number of employees. We can easily process payrolls and check the arrangements, and the client can also check the performance of the employees. Additionally, it has some advanced features."
"I think HCM was the most stable for me...It is a very scalable product."
"The integration between the different models like personnel administration, work management, payroll, and time management are the most valuable and key features."
"The biggest disadvantage with things like PeopleSoft is that they do continuous support and fixes and upgrades. You get to choose when you want to implement that upgrade. However, in order to keep up, you have to upgrade."
"Stability is an area where the solution lacks and needs to be improved."
"Global payroll could be easier to use."
"Having applications which provide more enhanced features and user-friendly elements."
"In my opinion, it needs more performance, maybe something technical related, because it's very slow for us and even small activities take a while."
"I would like for the initial rollout process to be completed faster so that it can be implemented in a more efficient manner."
"Agile system configurations to accommodate business dynamics."
"The solution could have better processes and automation, or features that allow for a paperless environment."

"SAP now does the most innovation for the cloud solution and less innovation for the on-premises client."
"The solution is rather expensive."
"The breadth of functionality offered by SAP HCM comes at a cost."
"SAP HCM cannot integrate with other third-party applications. One of the drawbacks we encounter with SAP HCM, specifically in payroll management, is the limitation regarding changing payroll areas within the same month. For instance, if an employee transitions from staff to non-staff status during the month, we face difficulties because the system doesn't allow us to change the payroll."
"The talent modules are lacking in HCM, so I would recommend switching to SuccessFactors for talent management, but HCM excels at time management and payroll."
"HCM could improve compatibility, making it more accessible via web applications and graphical interfaces."
