SS
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

"The solution is scalable. We have about 1,300 people using the solution."
"The overall interface is easy and user-friendly."
"This solution support our HR Transformation strategy. Provide ESS and MSS functionalities to employees."
"It has improved my organization by enabling us to efficiently manage our personnel."
"All of SuccessFactors' features are useful, but there are several modules within SuccessFactors that I find handy. You have Employee Central, which manages employee records within the system. It manages all the information about an employee, including names, addresses, account numbers, positions, org charts, etc. It also handles performance reviews and KPIs for employees within an organization. Then you have succession planning and development as well."
"The most valuable feature of SAP SuccessFactors is analytics."
"This solution offers good flexibility and configurability. It can handle different types of performance management."
"Talent Acquisition and Learning features are best in class."
"From my experience, there's no better system currently on the market."
"It's just an easy solution to connect with."
 

Cons

"We encountered challenges with the tool's integration with third-party applications and deployments."
"Employee Central made an incredible improvement, but still is behind the SAP HCM On Prem solution."
"We were not happy with their after-sales support. Whenever we had an issue it was really difficult to get in touch with them."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is too high."
"One of the most essential features that needs improvement right now is the reporting functionality."
"SuccessFactors could be improved by making it usable on mobile and making its features less rigid."
"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."
"Analytics could use some work."
"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 product is expensive. The product is worth the money you pay for it."
"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 could be cheaper."
"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 cost of SAP SuccessFactors is reasonable."
"I don't want to comment on the license cost, to be honest. It could be about $1,000 approximately per customer. However, it's very flexible in terms of the licensing costs depending on the volume and depending on the deal of installation."
"I rate the tool's pricing a seven to eight out of ten."
"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."
"We pay a fixed amount that includes support. I think it's a very good deal actually."
