CG
Director at Edge HR
Has all-inclusive pricing and good talent acquisition and onboarding components, and is an excellent product for mid-sized to large organizations
They could probably add surveying, as in engagement surveys, to their product. That would be something that would be valued by their customers. For instance, Culture Amp is a product that does a lot of the engagement stuff. They're diversifying into other aspects of talent management. It is not yet at the same scale as PageUp People, but it is an excellent product as well.
SS
Assistant Manager at Kashiv Biosciences
Centralized global HR data has improved expense control and supports secure employee management
The features of SAP HCM are valued by me as it had a clear idea about what was expected from the user point. The person or the application has a lot of features and it had actually all the information needed from our part. That aspect is nice. Apart from that, the T-codes are really helpful to understand which particular option we need when we put the T-code in the search box. The stability and reliability of SAP HCM product are really nice, very helpful, and secured. It has no point of leakage and is mostly reliable, as most companies and organizations prefer SAP over many tools. As for security, it's already secured from the beginning itself, and that is the only reason our organization relies on it. Since it's very useful at a global scale, it is a very useful tool and is very easy to access and handle.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"If you are looking for a product with great support, recruitment functionality, ease-of-use, and reliability, this is a great product."
"PageUp has a different model from other organizations; as part of their pricing structure, they tend to work with you very closely and not charge you for the setup, so there is one price all inclusive of setup, and for that reason, they become an attractive provider to work with."
"I loved that function, as it made it SO much easier to work out the logistics of those days, and allowing candidates to book their own time slot was a lifesaver as it would have been a nightmare trying to do it for them."
"The talent acquisition and the onboarding components of the system are most valuable."
"Most of features in PageUp are very useful."
"Once automated through the system, the approval timeframe decreased to two days."
"This product is user-friendly and great for reporting purposes."
"It has a user-friendly interface in managing job requisitions for the end user."
"The functions are really important in the product in ReadyNodes."
"Sometimes, employees may have pending requests that need approval, so you should check those and clear any errors to ensure smooth processing."
"The master data where most of the reports were run from was the most valuable, and we were quite satisfied with this module."
"The product overall is very good."
"The technical support is quite good."
"We have features such as ABKRS based on the client's requirement, tariff and TMSTA, and so on."
"When you maintain your data in SAP, you can generate any kind of HR report with one click."
"The integration between the different models like personnel administration, work management, payroll, and time management are the most valuable and key features."
 

Cons

"The on-boarding process, with specific relation to the provisioning process, isn’t set up as well as other competitors, such as RedCarpet (SilkRoad)."
"The ability to pull reports was limited for us."
"It is probably not as scalable as SAP SuccessFactors or other talent management systems that are available in the global marketplace."
"In the Boolean search functions, I would like to be able to search CVs in regards to the skills using the AND/OR functions as well as keywords."
"Initially, we experienced issues with the stability of the learning management module as we migrated 50,000+ existing training records from our old system."
"In our experience, PageUp has not been as flexible as we would like or expect as a vendor."
"Maybe there is a need to improve the interface so that we will be able to easily search for modules in regards to the system fix."
"The automated removal of historical data would be great if the user could remove it on an ad-hoc basis when required."
"On the personnel administration side, it's very difficult to do custom development."
"SAP HCM needs to improve its UI."
"SAP HCM needs to be more customizable to fit unique organizational processes."
"The setup comes with a set of challenges as well."
"SAP HCM has many different channels for communication with the consultants which makes it complex. There are delays when there is a problem."
"The product's learning and development features could be better, including new exclusive LMS tools."
"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."
"There needs to be a renovation of the interface and functionalities of the talent management modules."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PageUp has a different model from other organizations. As part of their pricing structure, they tend to work with you very closely and not charge you for the setup. So, there is one price all inclusive of setup, and for that reason, they become an attractive provider to work with. Here in Australia, the education sector has gravitated very heavily towards PageUp."
"We have an annual license for this solution, and the price depends on the number of users."
"The solution is cheap."
"The product is expensive."
"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
"For implementation, SAP offers little support unless you buy SAP Safeguarding from SAP Consulting."
"In my view, this product is a waste of money for SMB because there are much better products available and licensing is an issue."
"The terms on which you buy licenses might change due to the way they license in a particular product."
"You pay per license. There not any costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
