It links to major job boards and vacancies websites. Employee records are automatically created once they are in the payroll system.
The PageUp system could be improved if it could manage independent contractors. In our sector, contractors include all people engaged by the business for project or site work who are NOT on our Payroll system; they are not technically employees. Currently, our organization utilizes a separate software package to manage Contractor on boarding, inductions, and training. This represents significant additional financial outlay for the second system. Most induction and training records are automatically stored in the learning management component of PageUp once the user has commenced or completed any learning content. However, in some instances, parts of our business may develop and implement learning activities outside of the PageUp system and they may have several hundred participants in these activities. This makes manual data entry of the records very onerous. The PageUp system could be improved through the addition of functionality where batch uploads can be conducted. Batch uploading of many hundreds of records would save considerable time and resources. This product could be improved if it could manage contractors. That is, people who are not directly employed by your organization. Also, if training records could be uploaded in batches (as opposed to users creating their own development records) when required, this would be an improvement.

Useful to manage employee life cycle management but is not very easy to implement
There are quite a few things, like goal management, in terms of transferring goals from manager to subordinates, which is probably not one of the best ways to look at SAP SuccessFactors, making it an area that could have been done better. Route management and template management are pretty good areas. The reporting in the tool is not as great as I would want it to be from a PMGM internal management perspective. I just hope that SAP SuccessFactors comes up with a payroll tool that suits India. I don't see it as one of the best tools for the Indian scenario. I would love to see much better document management in the system, like onboarding. Onboarding has document management, but if I want to report through it, there is not much that I can do about it. DMS in SAP would be great since, in most places, DMS is maintained outside the system. I would have loved to see better DMS in SAP SuccessFactors. In terms of the reporting, I understand that since everything is moving to SAP SAC. Even without SAP SAC, it would be great if we could have better analytics within SAP SuccessFactors.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The talent acquisition and the onboarding components of the system are most valuable."
"SAP SuccessFactors is a stable solution."
"SAP SuccessFactors is stable, we have not found any bugs or glitches."
"The UX in SAP SuccessFactors is good."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten...It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of SAP SuccessFactors is analytics."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the onboarding module, which enables candidates to fill in their details online and smoothly transitions data from the recruitment module into the SAP database."
"The standardized procedures and best practices embedded in the system are very valuable."
 

Cons

"They could probably add surveying, as in engagement surveys, to their product. That would be something that would be valued by their customers. For instance, Culture Amp is a product that does a lot of the engagement stuff. They're diversifying into other aspects of talent management. It is not yet at the same scale as PageUp People, but it is an excellent product as well."
"The reporting tool is not as good as IBM Cognos which is very, very powerful."
"Some of the screens aren't that user-friendly, older employees especially have a hard time with it. They have some problems with it."
"There are a few features that are missing. There are specific features on the HTM, such as telecom safety, that just isn't there. It's not a very detailed solution in that sense. However, it is maybe not expected to have those kinds of features on the surface level of the product."
"I would like to be able to configure objects from instances, not from import and export files."
"There is an area of improvement in integrating SuccessFactors with different platforms."
"SAP SuccessFactors can improve the recruitment module and artificial intelligence features. More powerful analytics are needed."
"SuccessFactors feels rigid. It should be more streamlined. Also, the interface design is outdated and needs an upgrade."
"It is not that user-friendly. It can be made more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PageUp has a different model from other organizations. As part of their pricing structure, they tend to work with you very closely and not charge you for the setup. So, there is one price all inclusive of setup, and for that reason, they become an attractive provider to work with. Here in Australia, the education sector has gravitated very heavily towards PageUp."
"We have a yearly license. There are no additional costs."
"The cost of SAP SuccessFactors is reasonable."
"The price of the solution is highly expensive."
"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."
"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."
"For SAP, the product is pricey, both CAPEX and the OPEX. It's something that could be improved."
"The pricing for SuccessFactors is ridiculously high, and there are costs in addition to the license fee for some features."
"It could be cheaper."
