Assistant Manager at Kashiv Biosciences
HR has gained clear analytics for attrition, goals, and appraisals and manages talent efficiently
SAP SuccessFactors has a low error rate. We had many ad hoc reports that we needed to generate, and it was very easy to do so in SAP SuccessFactors. We also created many in-house reports according to our specific requirements with the help of this tool, which was a really big game changer for us. We did not depend on advanced Excel in those cases. We generated a lot of detailed reports whenever we needed them during emergency cases or board meetings. A lot of usefulness and time were saved in those cases. I will also mention that we conducted a comparative study for some recruitment cases. We had a recruitment model where we were looking for a very niche profile. Since the job profile was really different and rare, we had to depend on analytics to understand and shortlist from a large pool of candidates that we already had in our database. Analytics was really helpful in this situation.

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

"SAP SuccessFactors is one of the most robust platforms in the world today. For a unique global company, they need a platform that is compliant, such as GDP compliant in Europe. The solution delivers high quality in their core HR IS system which is called Employee Central. The system is one of the strongest and sturdiest modules that are in existence in the world."
"We have approximately 40,000 to 60,000 users using this solution, it was installed by our corporation; one can conclude it is a scalable solution, they have done a good job."
"We use the cloud version to maintain all the employee records, payroll, etc., and we use everything that comes with the HR suite."
"The most valuable feature of SAP SuccessFactors is that it is a full suite of applications to enable your employees. Additionally, it has good integration with S4 HANA. Our payroll solution is from SAP and the integration becomes much easier when using SAP SuccessFactors."
"It was much easier than the previous system, making things a lot easier and operations much smoother."
"The overall functionality of the solution is very good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the performance management module."
"SuccessFactors offers all aspects of Human Resources Management. What I love most about it is that it can be implemented for any company very quickly."
"From my experience, there's no better system currently on the market."
"It's just an easy solution to connect with."
 

Cons

"The integration with Employee Central and Employee Central Payroll needs improvement as the client is still considering on-premises solutions."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"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 single problem that needs to be solved is that once you submit a form it cannot be edited."
"The price could be lower."
"The Onboarding module must be improved."
"In the next release, I would like to be able to configure objects from instances, not from import and export files."
"They have a set of web services and connections to them. The libraries were not up-to-date and this contributed to the complexity."
"The video function could be improved. It would be nice if we could have our own unique background — for branding purposes during interviews."
"The video function could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for SuccessFactors is ridiculously high, and there are costs in addition to the license fee for some features."
"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."
"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 price of the solution is highly expensive."
"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."
"It is not cheap, but it is reasonable."
"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."
"So now, SAP charges me 300 Euros for 14,000 employees. I still have to pay 2,000 euros because I'm using SAP on-prem."
"We pay a fixed amount that includes support. I think it's a very good deal actually."
