Has improved employee satisfaction and streamlined real-time data management

In terms of customizations in specific modules for industry requirements, SAP SuccessFactors is much more generic and does not comply many times with industry requirements as a vertical. In my experience with SuccessFactors' analytics capabilities influencing decision-making, workforce analytics is still challenging due to customizations. It does not provide flexibility in terms of analytics, and we have to customize extensively. For the future of the product, I would like to see more AI implementation, Python integrations, and GPT integrations.

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

"HR and managers can use the onboarding tool to help new employees prepare for their first day on the job, which can help them acclimate to the company culture and reduce anxiety."

"This solution provides up with an easy way to on/off-board staff, as well as actioning internal transfers."

"The best features that were working well for us was the Goal Management and Performance Management. They were the most valuable to our organization."

"The performance and goal management is good, and it has a fairly detailed employee central."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the performance management module."

"I hardly ever encounter any stability issues, as SAP SuccessFactors is very good and stable."

"The tool's most valuable feature is document generation."

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten...It is a stable solution."

More SAP SuccessFactors pros

"It's just an easy solution to connect with."

Cons

"It is not that user-friendly. It can be made more user-friendly."

"I find that the website sometimes has problems loading, but I'm unsure if it's an issue with SuccessFactors. After the login, there are some connection issues. We get some errors telling us that it cannot connect to the host."

"The organization is planning to move to Darwinbox from SAP SuccessFactors, primarily due to pricing considerations."

"I think there is room for improvement in user friendliness. In my experience, users are sometimes confused about how to use the solution."

"In my experience with SuccessFactors' analytics capabilities influencing decision-making, workforce analytics is still challenging due to customizations."

"There's room for improvement in SAP SuccessFactors, particularly in terms of innovation. I'd like more flexibility in its functionality and more customization. In terms of what additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of the product, it depends on the module because you have various modules in SAP SuccessFactors, so it's easier to go module by module and understand what features you have in each module. The product has a lot of features coming up, but the product being more mobile, or having mobile features would be nice."

"The stability could be a bit better."

"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."

More SAP SuccessFactors cons

"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."

"For SAP, the product is pricey, both CAPEX and the OPEX. It's something that could be improved."

"Probably, it is one of the priciest products, and is very costly to put up and maintain but because it is a good solution end to end, people take it."

"The pricing for SuccessFactors is ridiculously high, and there are costs in addition to the license fee for some features."

"If you go by best practices and do it right from the outset, the setup won't be a costly endeavor. In terms of setup, there is a lot of flexibility compared to three years ago."

"I have raised change requests for some modules within SuccessFactors. For example, when you're using Recruiting Management, there's a feature called Interview Central you can use to reach the candidates you're interviewing. I wanted to add a writing assessment when I select the competency on that platform. It varies from consultant to consultant, depending on what module they use."

"The price of the solution is highly expensive."

"It is not expensive because it is a complete suite with a module-based cost."

More SAP SuccessFactors pricing and cost advice

"We pay a fixed amount that includes support. I think it's a very good deal actually."
