"The most valuable feature, in my view, is the level of exceptions or error messages that come back when something goes wrong."
"Technical support is excellent."
"All our employee data, like performance and payroll, is managed through SAP HCM."
"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."
"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."
"Customers can create custom infotypes to store any custom data points."
"We've found that the solution has the capability to scale."
"It has the best data management features."
"The operations could be better, specifically for manufacturing processes."
"The UI interface is not great."
"There are some cycles in HR that are not straightforward."
"Improving the reporting and user interface of Oracle ERP would be beneficial and is something that can be considered for future updates."
"Oracle E-Business Suite could improve the tables. When we remove some of them sometimes they cloud the modules into one. It becomes a little difficult to segregate."
"Areas for improvement would be that sometimes it's a bit rigid with customization and doesn't always facilitate region-specific requirements."
"The simplicity of the user experience needs to be improved tremendously."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
"It needs a lot of end user training as it is not intuitive at all."
"The product's learning and development features could be better, including new exclusive LMS tools."
"There needs to be a renovation of the interface and functionalities of the talent management modules."
"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."
"I would like it to move more towards a single data space, a single data source. SAP as a platform relies on multiple data sources because traditionally, it's been bolted together by the acquisition of other products rather than a single database. That's why there are lots of points of failure and lots of required points of integration. They need a single integration point."
"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 breadth of functionality offered by SAP HCM comes at a cost."
"The organizational structure visualization could be improved in future releases. The solution has a very poor interface."
