Sanket-Shinde - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Engineer at a insurance company with 10,001+ employees
Seamless collaboration has improved how I manage assignments, deadlines, and class resources
Google Classroom has the very best feature of assignment workflow, which is its core strength. I can create it, assign it, submit it, and have a grade on it all in one flow, so there is nothing to be changed. It also has real-time collaboration, allowing multiple students to work on the same documentation or assignment simultaneously, and the teacher can also see that and comment live. It has an automatic file management system where I can save my work, which is important because sometimes I do an assignment and forget to save, losing those assignments. This feature includes built-in video learning, allowing me to directly join classrooms via Google Classroom. It also supports Google Forms, Google Slides, and is very mobile-friendly. Google Classroom has reduced time in task tracking because I can have clear ownership and deadlines for everything. It has helped me to appreciate structured workflows by ticketing systems and improved collaborations, allowing many people to work together. I can understand that time has also been reduced. It has a limited impact on deep technical skills, but that is also good. It has helped me to understand structured workflow and utilize real-time features through Google Docs and Drive.
Renelia Villanueva - PeerSpot reviewer
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 product is easy to use."
"Google Classroom is simple to use."
"Classroom is wonderful for collaboration, and it integrates well with YouTube so it’s easy to incorporate live and archived video content."
"The customer service and support are very good."
"A teacher can send assignments and upload results using the product."
"I would definitely recommend this product, especially for K12 schools, because as an online solution it is very simple and very easy, and even year three, four, or five students can manage to go there and log in without any problem."
"The most valuable feature of Google Classroom is its clouds based. It can be accessed anywhere. Additionally, the GUI is good, we have not had any complaints and the platform has built-in security. For example, email has protection."
"The most valuable features of Google Classroom are the meetings, mark book, and assignments."
"Cloud Solution enables accessing the system from the internet, with no need to be within the company network."
"The most valuable features are continuous performance, activities, achievements, objectives for performance appraisal, and development learning."
"It is a very stable tool. It is the most stable security application."
"The most valuable feature for us in SAP SuccessFactors is the Performance Management module."
"It is a stable solution."
"The solution's most valuable feature is tracking."
"The tool allows us to create content and review employee progress in their educational knowledge."
"The interface is really friendly, and the training embedded in it is very easy to use, explore, and search. The catalog is pretty strong."
 

Cons

"It would be helpful to add voice or audio capabilities to the classrooms instead of text only."
"We have previously used Moodle which is an overall better solution than Google Classroom."
"The initial setup is not very easy. It has modern complexity."
"The stability could be improved."
"There are a lot of things that need to be fixed in order for it to be called a learning management system. I think that's where a lot of people are very confused in terms of what Google Classroom actually does. Google Classroom is not a learning management system. A learning management system allows teachers to grade with authenticity and doesn't provide only one grade for a particular document or assignment."
"Google Classroom could benefit from tools that help correct coding errors for students, thereby enhancing learning."
"This feature is not available in Google Classroom, which is why I prefer other applications with more powerful statistics to trace student performance."
"Managing a larger environment of assignments or classes can become cluttered, and the notification system can sometimes be overwhelming."
"This solution does not support right to left for the Arabic Language, and the Arabic text support is very bad."
"The product's configuration process needs improvement."
"It's very difficult to do simple activities using the tool, like getting a report."
"There is room for enhancement in their core HR system, Employee Central."
"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 application integration between cloud and on-premises storage has been completed. However, there is still room for improvement in integrating EC and SAP applications."
"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."
"Some features of SAP SuccessFactors Learning that require improvement include reporting tools and dashboarding, which are not so good, and integration is really difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I use the free version of Google Classroom."
"We did not need a license to use Google Classroom."
"The product is free."
"The price of Google Classroom has been reasonable."
"There are competitors that offer free solutions, making the price of Google Classroom high."
"The product offers a yearly based license."
"The solution is affordable."
"If you do a certain size and build, it's like any Google solution. You have to pay for storage, but you don't need to pay extra to use the interface. There may be Google Classroom partners that provide more integrated solutions, but I don't know. I'm strictly DIY."
"A company is required to pay annual licensing fees."
"The additional costs in the solution are based on usage and in regard to the functionalities or services leveraged."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning is an on-premise solution, there is a one-time fee, which will be given by a company during the implementation. Additionally, there are support fees, which are annual."
"The price of SAP SuccessFactors Learning could be better, it is expensive. There is an annual subscription. It's overpriced for small enterprises."
"Compared to Workday, SAP SuccessFactors Learning is not an expensive solution."
