Enhanced performance reviews with flexible goal setting and valuable employee feedback
I primarily use Cornerstone Performance for performance appraisals, year-end reviews, check-ins, and competency assessments. It's about managers and direct reports, employees meeting and discussing their progress on milestones, etc The tasks themselves, such as the performance reviews and…
Renelia Villanueva - PeerSpot reviewer
Vice President & Group Head People & Workplace Management at PLDT Enterprise
Integrated employee data has improved HR coordination but reporting and interface still need work
The GUI of SAP SuccessFactors Learning is still not very good. The drop-downs are too limited. One thing I want to have is an advisory banner with highlighted font that employees can visibly see during login, but support indicated this cannot be done. I have already raised this request to the support team, and they mentioned that the same request has come from other companies.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would definitely recommend Cornerstone Performance."
"The analytics and reporting features are very helpful."
"I like the product because it has logically synchronized modules."
"The interface is really friendly, and the training embedded in it is very easy to use, explore, and search. The catalog is pretty strong."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning is very user-friendly."
"The tool allows us to create content and review employee progress in their educational knowledge."
"Proven track record as the Vendor and SI spend hundreds of hours developing, testing, and researching the system (this results in fewer bugs, threats, and a more functional system)."
"The solution is a user-friendly application for learning, designing, and setting up courses."
"The platform's most valuable feature is personalized learning recommendations."
 

Cons

"The competency assessment is not as flexible as the rest of the solution features. I would like more options for customization."
"Some features of SAP SuccessFactors Learning that require improvement include reporting tools and dashboarding, which are not so good, and integration is really difficult."
"There is no portal within the tool for collaboration."
"The price of SAP SuccessFactors Learning could be better, it is expensive. There is an annual subscription. It's overpriced for small enterprises."
"The product's configuration process needs improvement."
"There is room for enhancement in their core HR system, Employee Central."
"It's very difficult to do simple activities using the tool, like getting a report."
"The product must make the integrations more seamless."
"What needs improvement in SAP SuccessFactors Learning is the user interface. The user management and the integration of the whole suite could also be improved. The solution also needs to be modernized because at the moment, it's a little bit outdated. It's old-fashioned, and though it has a data import feature, that's just plain outdated. SAP SuccessFactors Learning doesn't have any cutting-edge features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's licensing model is very straightforward...You will get the relevant mail from SAP, and accordingly, you have to proceed with the provisioning enablement, after which you can start the configuration."
"The tool is cheap."
"Compared to Workday, SAP SuccessFactors Learning is not an expensive solution."
"The solution is expensive, but it's a good product."
"The price of SAP SuccessFactors Learning could be better, it is expensive. There is an annual subscription. It's overpriced for small enterprises."
