I demo'd some other software and at the time, the other software felt "better" but were way more expensive. Pro Software now does what those other software did, but the price is likely still better.

SAP HR can be well suited for global companies with operations in multiple countries. The Payroll module needs to be limited to one instance per country, otherwise trying to maintain multiple countries on the same instance is too complicated. I would not recommend using SAP HR and Payroll for smaller companies because the total cost of ownership and the lack of flexibility will make it unfeasible. There are many cloud-based options now a days available that would fit better for this type of scenario.

Cons
Pro Software
  • When we started with them, they were young and were missing quite a few things, that's all rectified now though
  • The things that were missing were sometimes shocking, and they are now working on some of those things
  • Customers don't always love all the security features, but they are necessary so what can you do

  • The design looks outdated
  • Could add more functions like PTO tracking
  • The help sections aren’t very helpful

It was lower cost and as they were a growing company, it allowed them to grow with us. I don't have much else to say about it than that. They've been a good partner, and that's just it, they are a partner, not just a software vendor, at least for us.

Return on Investment
Pro Software
  • There are many areas where we were blind to say tax changes that might be updated within the system
  • There are lots of areas where a more streamlined automated approach hasn't been available
  • In many of those cases, they were corrected however. Some we're still waiting for

  • SAP HR is suited for large companies with a sufficient budget. Small budgets will not be able to cover the expensive licensing, technical personnel and consultants required of an SAP installation.
  • In regards to the total cost of ownership, my ROI experience has been that by replacing SAP HR modules with cloud solutions we have been able to reduce the cost up to 60% while modernizing our systems and improving the employee experience.
  • I would encourage decision makers to look for cloud-based alternatives with a robust system integration, before believing that supporting every area of HR with a single SAP installation is a good long-term strategy. Having SAP HR as the core integrated to best-in-class cloud-based systems is a very valid and effective system strategy.
