Learning Solutions Developer II at a legal firm with 5,001-10,000 employees
A solution with great customization and visually appealing features
I rate this solution a nine out of ten. Storyline has so much flexibility, and you can do so much fun with it. It's top-rated. You can do basic things and get carried away with Storyline. However, if you're looking to convert a PowerPoint presentation into something that looks nice or has an embedded video where the speaker would be, iSpring Learn is a good solution. It's a great program, and we use many features. For example, we use Camtasia for video and screen recordings. If we want to create a game or start something from scratch and customize it for the user with graphics and places with many engagement features, we can use either Articulate or Storyline. Everything is contained in one window, and it's visually appealing. We can scroll down, and it's almost like a webpage where we get all the information. iSpring Learn is made so that we can create visually appealing and engaging content with just a PowerPoint presentation. Sometimes we have people who give us a PowerPoint and say, "Can you do something with this? Can you make it pretty?" Or they'll provide us with audio and say, "I recorded these slides for PowerPoint. Can we jazz it up? Can we do something?" So we put the picture or their bio with their contact information. If they have any attachments, we'll add resources to them. Then we convert the PowerPoint and add the audio, which looks great. iSpring Learn is easy to work with.

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

"We can quickly convert PowerPoint to e-Learning modules and add video and other resources to our e-Learning modules."
"ISpring Learn is made so that we can create visually appealing and engaging content with just a PowerPoint presentation."
"Reporting is very nice."
"The most valuable features are continuous performance, activities, achievements, objectives for performance appraisal, and development learning."
"The best feature of SAP SuccessFactors Learning for me is the assignment profile. It's a rather specific feature, but this is what comes to mind."
"I like the product because it has logically synchronized modules."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning's most valuable features are accessibility and updated UX, as the solution can be accessed from outside of the office network and the user's experience is good."
"Some valuable features include assigning various courses to employees based on their groups and roles, as well as providing specialized training for new hires."
"The learning features are great."
"The analytics and reporting features are very helpful."
 

Cons

"I would recommend some enhancements to the product."
"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 application integration between cloud and on-premises storage has been completed. However, there is still room for improvement in integrating EC and SAP applications."
"Licensing is a major challenge in the solution."
"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."
"There is no portal within the tool for collaboration."
"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 price of SAP SuccessFactors Learning could be better, it is expensive. There is an annual subscription. It's overpriced for small enterprises."
"Some features of SAP SuccessFactors Learning that require improvement include reporting tools and dashboarding, which are not so good, and integration is really difficult."
