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.…

A cloud-oriented HRMS that needs to be more flexible and improve offline support
We use ZingHR as a human resource management system. It helps us manage recruitment, generate offer letters, and maintain employee database and attendance.  The solution is a cloud HRMS, which makes it a self-sufficient model. You can do a lot of things without taking anybody's help.  ZingHR is…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features of the solution that I found valuable for my business are its ability to create a dashboard, pie charts, and reporting functions, as well as advanced reporting capabilities."
"I hardly ever encounter any stability issues, as SAP SuccessFactors is very good and stable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the performance management module."
"This solution is very user-friendly, and supports 60 plus languages."
"Talent Acquisition and Learning features are best in class."
"They have succeeded in sustaining a powerful system supporting their philosophy."
"The solution is scalable. We have about 1,300 people using the solution."
"It has a global database, and it is globally accessible. By using this solution, we have moved away from paper, which is a big step for us."
"The solution is a cloud HRMS, which makes it a self-sufficient model. You can do a lot of things without taking anybody's help."
"The most valuable feature of ZingHR is the data bulk uploading and downloading."
 

Cons

"SuccessFactors' experience management is not so user-friendly."
"The organization is planning to move to Darwinbox from SAP SuccessFactors, primarily due to pricing considerations."
"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."
"The user experience could be simplified."
"The GUI needs to be enhanced to be in line with the latest and complete version of the solution."
"There have been cases involving a lot of re-implementations and frustrations within clients where they have the workbook sessions, the workbook workshops and things like that. And I think that doesn't really go down well because the workbooks are very technical and, a lot of times, very confusing for the client."
"We have many interruptions and disconnection points into processes, which is why we are looking to another solution. We are not so happy with the system. We believe we have in the market better solution, so we are looking for alternatives but so far the system has been used a lot."
"Some of the screens aren't that user-friendly, older employees especially have a hard time with it. They have some problems with it."
"ZingHR is not flexible and needs to improve offline support."
"ZingHR could improve by giving administration users from the front end the ability to make corrections. I am having to do the bulk corrections from an Excel upload from the system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Due to the way in which we purchased SuccessFactors as a module along with other SAP modules, we were able to procure it at a slightly better price than usual. I would rate their pricing 5/5 stars."
"For SAP, the product is pricey, both CAPEX and the OPEX. It's something that could be improved."
"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."
"The cost of SAP SuccessFactors is reasonable."
"The solution is on the expensive side but is definitely worth the money."
"We are on an annual subscription to use SAP SuccessFactors. The pricing model is something that they could restructure a bit better. If it was based differently on the type of usage it would help."
"The product is expensive. The product is worth the money you pay for it."
"ZingHR is a less expensive solution than others, such as SAP SuccessFactors."
"ZingHR is not expensive."
