"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 solution is very intuitive. Many of the things we need to do are easily accessible."
"The performance of the solution is very good."

"The solution is a little bit slow."
"Meta4 could improve by allowing users to manage things by themself."
"The HR portal, training model, and development career model could all use improvement. Stability and scalability should be improved as well."

"SAP HCM's long and tedious transactions can be improved."
"The product's license is very expensive."
"SAP is not ready to sell the license on time and delays the progress of projects. It's better to work with a competitor like Oracle. Those that are selling the product just go through powerpoints and don't have the knowledge necessary to sell. They can't answer any questions."
"The talent modules are lacking in HCM, so I would recommend switching to SuccessFactors for talent management, but HCM excels at time management and payroll."
"It would be very helpful for our company if a new version was released with the ability to contain all of the things that we have newly introduced in our company."
"It is not that user-friendly. It can be made more user-friendly."
"The reporting tool is not as good as IBM Cognos which is very, very powerful."

"The SAP SuccessFactors integration with old versions can improve. We are using an older finance module but we are having migration issues."
"I don't think SuccessFactors is quite fit for use as an employee database."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"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."
"Also, it would be helpful if they could improve its ability to localize the product to Nigeria."
