Integrates with various tools with flexible pricing model and easy setup
We conduct quarterly reviews throughout the year, using the system to manage the entire performance cycle. Employees and managers provide feedback, and one-on-one meetings can be scheduled directly through the platform. The system handles all records and notifications, syncing with Google Calendar and providing meeting preparation tools. Employees only need to complete their reviews, while the system takes care of the rest. After the reviews, we receive insights from all departments and regions, helping us analyze performance trends. HiBob can be configured to support hybrid and remote work, but its effectiveness will depend on how well it aligns with your company's needs and setup. While the system allows for customization, including features like tracking birthdays and anniversaries, its usefulness for remote work will vary. Compliance issues, such as GDPR, will also play a role in deciding which features to use. Ultimately, the value of these tools will depend on your company's specific requirements and location. HiBob requires one person for maintenance, though additional admins can be assigned as needed. The system offers various modules, such as the talent model, compensation hub, analytics hub, and hiring model, which may be utilized depending on your company's needs. For a company of around 200 employees, one person is typically sufficient for maintenance, but a second person might be needed if the company grows to around 250 employees. Overall, I rate the solution an eight-point five out of ten.

Moving to a cloud-based employee portal has improved experience but user interface requires attention
I am currently handling SAP sub-modules, particularly in HR. I interface with SAP SuccessFactors modules such as Employee Central, Goals and Performance, and Talent Moving from an in-house developed employee self-service portal to a cloud-based internet solution is an improvement for us.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"HiBob integrates with various tools, such as Slack, Jira, and Google Calendar."
"Talent Acquisition and Learning features are best in class."
"SAP SuccessFactors, in my opinion, is the best cloud-based HR solution tool for any size business."
"The most valuable feature of SAP SuccessFactors is analytics."
"SuccessFactors' most valuable feature is performance management."
"I love SAP, and I like SuccessFactors...I think most users prefer SuccessFactors as they become more comfortable with it."
"The interface is user-friendly. It is very simple and intuitive, so it's good."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its integration capabilities with on-premise ERPs and other systems."
"Considering the flexibility of the system and its ability to accommodate complex business processes, the product is ready to be used in multiple industries."
 

Cons

"HiBob isn't as user-friendly for managing contractors, part-time employees, or consultants."
"The Reporting/Analytics and User Interface need improvement."
"SAP should also look into easily integrating with other applications or other tools. Technology has changed now, and it should be easier for any application to integrate with other apps. There needs to be more flexibility."
"Forms cannot be edited once submitted."
"The user experience could be simplified."
"The GUI needs to be enhanced to be in line with the latest and complete version of the solution."
"Visual representations, in the form of graphs and charts, can be added. This is beneficial for both management and employees. Upon accessing the system, they should generate graphical representations on their dashboard. These visuals illustrate aspects such as company-wide training progress and current company training status. The information encompasses both company-related data and personal profiles. This approach makes it convenient to grasp the company's profile along with individual information."
"They should work on a faster way of locating a proper documentation."
"Everything, including the provisioning dependency, should be moved to the instance, and coding should be kept to a minimum. Wherever possible, coding should be minimized, and everything should be a drag-and-drop."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is not expensive because it is a complete suite with a module-based cost."
"We don't utilize even half of the licenses because not everyone uses them. With SAP SuccessFactors, though, we're now conducting all our performance evaluations within the system, so I suppose we're making better use of those licenses. As for SAP for employee services and internal benefits processing, we do have licenses for those but don't utilize them."
"It could be cheaper."
"For SAP, the product is pricey, both CAPEX and the OPEX. It's something that could be improved."
"Our costs for the solution are subsidized by our parent company, I am not aware of the exact cost because of this. However, we pay $50,000 annually. If we move to another solution it will be more expensive."
"Due to the way in which we purchased SuccessFactors as a module along with other SAP modules, we were able to procure it at a slightly better price than usual. I would rate their pricing 5/5 stars."
"I think the pricing is a little better than most solutions out there. There are reasonable prices when it comes to some of the modules such as the Payroll module, and for the remaining modules I believe the pricing is fair in comparison to the rest of the market."
"The pricing for SuccessFactors is ridiculously high, and there are costs in addition to the license fee for some features."
