Find out in this report how the two Benefits Administration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."SAP HCM has valuable features for analytics data management."
"Recently, the localization versions for different countries were increased, and that added value to the solution."
"The technical support is quite good."
"The most valuable feature is Organizational Management (OM)."
"We have features such as ABKRS based on the client's requirement, tariff and TMSTA, and so on."
"All our employee data, like performance and payroll, is managed through SAP HCM."
"The setup was straightforward."
"It is a pretty stable solution."
"UKG allows us to customize our home screen so that we can easily monitor important items on a daily basis."
"The fact that I can see the whole HR information in a single point is valuable. There is a unified view of everything, which is good. Previously, we had many different systems for each part of the information. Now, it is all centralized. It is very good."
"I like UKG's integration."
"The solution has improved our organization by helping us cut hours and lessen our labor force. It saved us probably over $100,000 in just the last couple of years."
"The solution's UI is good. Also, it is very easy to use."
"It is much easier to use and the customer service is better than our previous solution."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be business intelligence and Cognos reporting."
"The most valuable feature is being able to get time management reports which break out reclassified jobs and departments to separate areas of the company. This allows for better tracking of hours spent in certain jobs and where more hours may be needed."
"We find some challenges in the integration between SAP HCM and SAP SuccessFactors."
"It takes a long time to apply an update patch to the system."
"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."
"SAP HCM could improve by having more resources and making it more user-friendly. It is complex."
"The current platform is quite rigid and not as flexible and end-user friendly as other HR solutions."
"The speed of technical support can be improved."
"The product's license is very expensive."
"There are already success factors for the cloud solution which cannot be integrated into S/4 HANA."
"I would like to see more functionality in the next release to be able to get hours and dollars per calendar month rather than just by payroll in the Business Intelligence reports."
"The navigation on the screen could be better. Sometimes, I have to dig a little bit deep to find what I need. Everything is there. It just needs to be a little bit smoother."
"Certainly, the time and attendance and the payroll integration need a lot of work. They are disjointed pieces, and they don't work smoothly together. That's the main drawback."
"I would like the capability to use UKG as a single platform without the need to alternate between systems."
"The solution could improve by simplifying it even more core reports, such as more sample reports, more generic reports that you can edit and improve on yourself."
"UKG could be a little more flexible in some areas."
"The solution could use better reporting with standard reports. We use the Cognos platform in BI for a lot of our reporting. However, they need to have more robust standard reporting available to their user base."
"One area where UKG could improve is in its ability to understand its own competency and then work hard to improve it."
