SAP HCM Room for Improvement

I think that with the cloud's introduction and because of the new changes, SAP HCM will become dormant. The talent components in SAP HCM are not really viable anymore. One thing that I know is that SAP HCM has no workforce planning. But in the olden days, we had personnel planning, which worked very well for finance or budgeting. So if there was something similar to it in the solution, I'm not too sure about it since I haven't had all the exposure to workforce planning to see how different it works from personnel planning.
A better user interface and greater AI integration are crucial. Which is now a part of the road map ahead.
Integration isn't an issue anymore; they've solved that. The current integration is fairly seamless.

What cannot be facilitated through the product's standard functions can be done through development. Success factors also come into the picture in the new cloud management aspect and integrations. For instance, S/4HANA. The two aspects are development, with reports, interfaces, conversion, enhancement, prompts, and smart forms. The reporting aspect covers employee and manager self-service, anything the employee can do. Then there are already success factors for the cloud solution which cannot be integrated into S/4 HANA.

One area that could be improved is the time-tracking and attendance system. We currently have an external system that uploads the data into SAP HCM.
We recently launched the system on a mobile app, and people have become accustomed to it. It's been easy for them, so we don't want to ask them to change to something else. We don't want to make too many changes too often.
Other than that, I find SAP HCM quite convenient and easy to use. The only issue so far is with the pricing.

Additionally, it requires a significant amount of configuration, and we haven't been able to find anyone who can meet our specific data configuration needs. But the major issue it's a really old fashion app. We are in 2023, there is no need to use an app that looks like this.
View full review »SAP needs a total upgrade to the user interface. I've worked with the performance module and the objectives and goals module in HCM and they're far from being satisfying to any customer compared to what exists now with SuccessFactors.
SAP also needs to apply better practices to the talent management modules. There needs to be a renovation of the interface and functionalities of the talent management modules.
The product's learning and development features could be better, including new exclusive LMS tools. Additionally, the data analytics feature could have more depth, similar to Workday.

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.
We encounter issues related to employee repatriation, especially when individuals return within a two-year timeframe. The system sometimes picks up previously processed data, complicating the repatriation process. As a result, we often have to find workarounds to address these issues. These challenges may stem from our system configuration, but we're still investigating to determine the exact cause.

It would be very helpful for our company if a new version was released with the ability to contain all of the things that we have newly introduced in our company.
