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."Stability-wise, it is a good tool."
"In general, this solution is user friendly and also performs well. There are two types of forms. One is a standardized form, which you can define things into. The other, you can customize so more repetition can be done in an even manner. That way, it can be designed for what the public or user actually wants. It's not very tough for any person, or layman to understand exactly what the screen requires one to do."
"It is a customizable product. We can customize it based on our needs, which is one of the features that I like about PeopleSoft. As far as financial accounting is concerned, the user interface is very good. You can also configure Chart of Accounts for all performance insights."
"I use the reporting feature occasionally to check for potential improvements in timesheets. We have integrated it with Power BI."
"I like the speed of the processing and how easy it is to use."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability."
"It is a very stable ERP solution. It is also supported on Oracle Cloud and provides extensive features."
"The breadcrumb approach to navigation in PeopleSoft is good. nVision is also a good supplement."
"When you maintain your data in SAP, you can generate any kind of HR report with one click."
"The technical support is quite good."
"The most valuable feature is the Personnel Administration."
"We've found that the solution has the capability to scale."
"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."
"We are satisfied with the reporting by SAP HCM."
"We have features such as ABKRS based on the client's requirement, tariff and TMSTA, and so on."
"The most valuable feature, in my view, is the level of exceptions or error messages that come back when something goes wrong."
"Services that need improvement include PeopleSoft Query, Pivot Grids, and PeopleSoft Test Framework."
"The product was too complicated when it came to navigating through multiple places and the search filters weren't great."
"Tools and UI could be enhanced."
"I would like to see a better UI."
"Scalability is not there in PeopleSoft. Its performance and resilience are also very bad. When you're trying to stretch it, it breaks. It is not resilient. It is also not stable. It is stable as far as data is concerned, but the infrastructure is not stable."
"The API integration could be better."
"The product is not intuitive, and finding the right candidate can be arduous."
"If there is another release, they should look at going to mobile computing to stay competitive."
"System usability is a challenge."
"I'm currently working for a state-owned government company, and we need to follow some standards and regulations. We also have a strategy to be followed. Sometimes the template and the format are not available in the SAP HCM, so we have to work around this limitation. The tax also sometimes changes in my country, and we have to redo everything to change the payroll calculations, benefits, and things like that. The talent management feature can be improved. It is currently very simple in SAP HCM. SAP is also very hard to integrate. In terms of monitoring, there are no monitoring tools, but as long as we take care of the disk capacity, there is no problem."
"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."
"SAP now does the most innovation for the cloud solution and less innovation for the on-premises client."
"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."
"The solution is rather expensive."
"A better user interface and greater AI integration are crucial."
"There needs to be a renovation of the interface and functionalities of the talent management modules."
