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.

Cons

"It's highly dependent on other tools."
"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."
"The initial installation could be a bit easier."
"I am talking about SAP in general, so there are multiple screens that you have to go through, and it takes some time to get used to it."
"The only drawback of the tool is that it is dependent on its database."
"The consultants implementing this solution could be more knowledgeable."
"There is no portal within the tool for collaboration."
"The product needs to improve its escalation system."
"It's very difficult to do simple activities using the tool, like getting a report."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool’s pricing is too much for what it is."
"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."
"You need to procure licensing and it is expensive."
"My company does have to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. My company considers the solution to be worth its price, but we don't consider it to be a cheap solution."
"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 pricing changes and the license amount is quite costly."
"Compared to Workday, SAP SuccessFactors Learning is not an expensive solution."
"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."
"The solution is really cheap."
