    SAP Field Service Management fits our SAP EAM strategy and natively integrates with our landscape. SAP Field Service Management works well with all of our short cycle work that is primarily executed by our internal work force, but we did not use SAP Field Service Management for our long cycle work. Initially SAP Field Service Management did not fit our needs, but we will look to re-evaluate - since there has been substantial improvements with Crowd Service.

    This product was marketed to us as a school and several schools in our area use the program. However, the implementation team we were set-up with had limited school experience and we are still working on the best way to do some of the timekeeping issues where I know that could have been handled better. That being said from a payroll and reporting side it has been great to capture so much data (at times almost too much) and have the system do automatic allocations of salaries and general ledger reports. The reporting takes some getting used to, but overall I've been able to run reports to see and track just about anything I want. Our employees also love the self service compared to our previous products where they can make W4, direct deposit and other updates on their own without having to get HR involved.

    • I personally feel like timekeeping is very well thought out and has some powerful tools built in. There is a bit of a learning curve but with strategically placed SMEs we were able to get the use and functionality we needed out of the system.
    • Workforce planning has been crucial in planning operational support in our retail and customer service centers. It is also editable and modifiable as needed.

    • Reporting - some of the reports' names do not coincide with the data that is pulled from the system
    • System errors - the system crashes regularly on us with no real explanation why
    • Punch accuracy - sometimes the punches from the timeclocks do not feed into the system

    Though it is good tool but still having issues with stability and need good amount of technical support to implement. The Industry still do not have good resource available for supporting this product. SAP should provide lighter user manuals/ set up documents. The ones which are already there looks very complex and requires lot of time to go through

    Now that the system is installed and operational, the "pain is gone"...therefore we see no reason to change to a different application. There is no functionality that is missing from the system that would drive us to consider another solution at this time. Maintenance support from Kronos is sufficient and updates occur regularly.

    Usability
    SAP
    SAP Field Service Management has definitely very nice interface and mobile application. Also thanks to advanced business rules we can automate a lot of processes and many AI functionalities can be used to help dispatchers, technicians and service team in their work. It also has strong integration capabilities (using e.g. SAP CPI or Proaxia Connector).

    Support is not very good. Actually one way to support this product is to have flexible and robust support. As it is a relatively new product and continuously evolving so it is better that SAP provide quick support on issues which may feel are trivial.

    Having no experience with Kronos prior to using it in March 2016, their customer service team taught me how to use it the right way after my initial training at work. I am well-versed in data analysis using Excel and Access primarily, so once I discovered that Kronos had a reporting feature built in, I've used the feature quite a few times to help our properties evaluate their production costs and make good labor decisions. I give Kronos a 10 because once a person takes the time to learn how to use the software, they'll realize that Kronos is far more effective than most, and gives users more ways to access their information where and when they want to.

    Kronos and Dayforce are the two timekeeping systems I’ve worked with in recent years. Kronos feels a little more comprehensive and is my primary timekeeping tool both for myself as well as my staff. Kronos is a great tool for a wide range of shifts, working locations, and pay codes. In this context, I would pick Kronos over Dayforce. On the opposite side, Dayforce is extremely user-friendly and has a “cleaner” user interface if that is a contributing factor for anyone. Also, for managers who oversee large teams (30-50 team members) then Dayforce is a bit more simple to approve time cards, hours, and leave. Kronos is a bit clunky with all the clicks, and managing large teams of hourly employees would be a huge time suck to go in to review/approve all.

    • Kronos is much more expensive than the previous systems we were using, so at this point the ROI is negative. The idea is that it will allow us to scale and grow the company more easily so time will tell if that is the case.
