Featured Reviews

Gayathri Advani - PeerSpot reviewer
The product is highly dependent on other tools, and it doesn’t have reporting functions
The product is quite poor in integration with the back end. We can’t report out of it very well. It's highly dependent on other tools. If it doesn't integrate properly, it can be quite complex to work with. I don't see any value in having a learning experience platform over and above a working LMS like Cornerstone. Getting data out as an administrator has always been bad because the product doesn’t have its own reporting functions. It has a reporting tool added to it. It's not part of the core system. It's very hard to report on data accurately and know that the data is accurate because it doesn't always reflect what's actually in the tool.

User satisfaction grows with valuable features and excellent customer support
Some features of SAP SuccessFactors Learning that require improvement include reporting tools and dashboarding, which are not so good, and integration is really difficult. In the future, I suggest updates primarily on the mobile user experience side, reporting, dashboarding, and workflows. An AI version would definitely help significantly. Integrating SAP SuccessFactors Learning with HR systems through HR processes in my organization is very difficult.
