Gayathri Advani - PeerSpot reviewer
Director at Apian Consultancy
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.

Vice President & Group Head People & Workplace Management at PLDT Enterprise
Integrated employee data has improved HR coordination but reporting and interface still need work
The GUI of SAP SuccessFactors Learning is still not very good. The drop-downs are too limited. One thing I want to have is an advisory banner with highlighted font that employees can visibly see during login, but support indicated this cannot be done. I have already raised this request to the support team, and they mentioned that the same request has come from other companies.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The integrations work fine."
"The product offers a lot of information which we can share with systems."
"The most valuable features of the solution were the deployment and onboarding."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The analytics and reporting features are very helpful."
"It is a stable solution."
"Reporting is very nice."
"The platform's most valuable feature is personalized learning recommendations."
"It is a very stable tool. It is the most stable security application."
 

Cons

"It's highly dependent on other tools."
"Licensing is a major challenge in the solution."
"The solution should have a more user-friendly dashboard because its current dashboard is not so great."
"There is room for enhancement in their core HR system, Employee Central."
"The course analytics feature takes a long time to load data, which is especially problematic for managers who want to quickly access reports and dashboards."
"What needs improvement in SAP SuccessFactors Learning is the user interface. The user management and the integration of the whole suite could also be improved. The solution also needs to be modernized because at the moment, it's a little bit outdated. It's old-fashioned, and though it has a data import feature, that's just plain outdated. SAP SuccessFactors Learning doesn't have any cutting-edge features."
"The only drawback of the tool is that it is dependent on its database."
"The consultants implementing this solution could be more knowledgeable."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning's e-learning portal has a very poor interface when compared to Cornerstone or PeopleFluent. It's a very basic interface, but I know that it has a very good foundation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool’s pricing is too much for what it is."
"The additional costs in the solution are based on usage and in regard to the functionalities or services leveraged."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a one out of ten."
"Compared to Workday, SAP SuccessFactors Learning is not an expensive solution."
"The price of SAP SuccessFactors Learning could be better, it is expensive. There is an annual subscription. It's overpriced for small enterprises."
"The pricing changes and the license amount is quite costly."
"I rate the price for SAP SuccessFactors Learning an eight out of ten, with ten being the highest."
"The tool's licensing model is very straightforward...You will get the relevant mail from SAP, and accordingly, you have to proceed with the provisioning enablement, after which you can start the configuration."
"The licensing cost for SAP SuccessFactors Learning is rather expensive, but it's not the only SAP tool my company uses in the suite, so it's very hard to compare prices."
