User satisfaction grows with valuable features and excellent customer support
Some features of SAP SuccessFactors Learning that require improvement include reporting tools and dashboarding, which are not so good, and integration is really difficult. In the future, I suggest updates primarily on the mobile user experience side, reporting, dashboarding, and workflows. An AI version would definitely help significantly. Integrating SAP SuccessFactors Learning with HR systems through HR processes in my organization is very difficult.

Good automation and dashboards with helpful customer support
TalentLMS is packed with instrumental features that are pertinent to a successful Learning Management System. Of these, the most impactful features are: 1. Automation. Notifications can to automated to notify users of assigned courses, remind users of outstanding courses, and email PDF certificates upon successful completion. 2. Rewards and Recognition. This feature makes it fun, competitive, and engaging via a point system and recognition of top learners. 3. Customer Support. The customer support team was amazing when I first began using this solution. They scheduled video meetings with me to personally demonstrate alternative solutions to issues I was having with data management. 4. Dashboard. Data is readily available in the form of interactive dashboards with modern, crisp data visuals. This shows the performance of the LMS, highlighting areas that can be improved and recognizing strong points in the business operations.
