"It has good navigation, and it is user friendly and secure. Every three months, there is an upgrade, and it has new features."
"In terms of ERP, it's a good product. It's convenient."
"HCM solution that's easy to set up and scale, with good data integration and technical support."

"They have some interesting features in the learning space."
"The valuable features of SAP HCM include managing employee data from hiring to retirement."
"Payroll processing is my favorite HCM feature, and I like all the SuccessFactors talent modules also. SAP is making good progress on enhancements to the features in the SF modules."
"The customization of the solution presents many challenges."
"In the next release, I would like to see a new recruitments module. I would like to see the preboarding so that it sends out integrations through personal email. That would be very useful."
"The solution has much room for improvement in all the modules."
"An employee needs training to apply for leave, something as simple as that. They shouldn't need training materials or user guides to navigate the system. We're moving towards empowering users, especially with end-user-facing systems. People should be self-reliant and not need to rely on manuals. Oracle HCM Cloud is very old-school in this regard."
"The product needs to keep improving the integration tools and the tools to load the data - that whole mechanism - in order to allow for flexibility in the configuration."
"The support from Oracle HCM Cloud is great, they are responsive and helpful. However, they still could improve."
"I would focus on making high volume recruitment more bulky."
"The GUI interface should be more user-friendly."
"It is a bit tedious and manual to work with."
"The breadth of functionality offered by SAP HCM comes at a cost."
"It was difficult to deploy. There were challenges regarding configurations and implementation. So, we had a lot of issues."
"The speed of technical support can be improved."
"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."
"The limitation of HCM compared to new-era human capital management solutions is the cost."
"SAP is not ready to sell the license on time and delays the progress of projects. It's better to work with a competitor like Oracle. Those that are selling the product just go through powerpoints and don't have the knowledge necessary to sell. They can't answer any questions."
"Reports need to be added on the time management side."
