Renelia Villanueva - PeerSpot reviewer
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.…

Allows us to connect with, take care of, and nurture possible employees
The video function could be improved. Now that we do a lot of digital interviews, you can actually have your own video function. Still, I would prefer if it were more of a team function where you could change the background, for example. With everyone currently working from home offices due to lockdowns, some of the backgrounds look quite unprofessional. It would be nice if we could have our own unique background — for branding purposes during interviews. When we schedule an interview, in the message function, you can create a placeholder using a name, etc. I would like to have more generic placeholders and for them to be included in the message function when you schedule the interview.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution provides up with an easy way to on/off-board staff, as well as actioning internal transfers."
"The most important feature is the ability to follow up on the yearly performance of the team. It's very good for management to understand how people are performing."
"SAP SuccessFactors is a very reliable and stable solution."
"The tool's most valuable feature is document generation."
"This solution is very user-friendly, and supports 60 plus languages."
"Considering the flexibility of the system and its ability to accommodate complex business processes, the product is ready to be used in multiple industries."
"It's a uniform user interface."
"Currently, we are using the performance and goals management functionality the most. It is connected with the enterprise solution, and it is seamless. It can be easily accessed because it is available via the net. It is readily available, provided you have an internet connection. Their technical support is also very good."
"It's just an easy solution to connect with."
 

Cons

"The product doesn't have a modernized look and is not very user-friendly like other products."
"Its overall integration and user experience can be improved. SuccessFactors is a system that is built out of three different systems. The elements part was bought from Plateau, and the original performance dialogue was built by SuccessFactors itself. After that, SAP bought it, and it hasn't improved in the last few years. SuccessFactors is a perfect tool if you use it the way it is meant to be, but if you start building custom sessions and try to use it differently, then it is a total mess. It is not agile. It is like an old Mastodon truck or whatever. We don't have the Employee Central and Competence Management modules. Our company made the choice to not implement the Employee Central module. We also didn't implement the Competence Management module. We use the learning module to do some competence management, but I am not that fond of it. It would have been best to have the whole suite. SAP should never sell this without selling the whole suite because it just doesn't work. The biggest gain for me would be having the possibility of doing strategic personnel planning and managing internal mobility. If it could be used for social purposes, such as creating communities and connecting with media channels, that would be perfect. It should also have the possibilities for local admin and agile product development."
"SuccessFactors could be improved by making it usable on mobile and making its features less rigid."
"The back end for the administration and the front end is too overtly complex and it's not aligned with our operations and learning needs."
"Some of the screens aren't that user-friendly, older employees especially have a hard time with it. They have some problems with it."
"We would like to see improvement in the initial launch of the product, as it is currently quite slow."
"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."
"One area of improvement is the time taken to configure changes, such as taxation rules, which can take several months."
"The video function could be improved. It would be nice if we could have our own unique background — for branding purposes during interviews."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of SAP SuccessFactors is reasonable."
"The price of the solution depends on too many factors to provide an estimate. However, the price of SAP SuccessFactors is competitive."
"The pricing for SuccessFactors is ridiculously high, and there are costs in addition to the license fee for some features."
"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 licensing fees are based on the number of modules that are being used, and the number of users."
"It is not expensive because it is a complete suite with a module-based cost."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing a seven to eight out of ten."
"We pay a fixed amount that includes support. I think it's a very good deal actually."
