We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution that we used previously was very complex. As a result, without referring to the manuals and consulting an expert, it was difficult for a newly hired employee to navigate the platform. However, this is not the case with Darwinbox. It has a very intuitive user interface, and anyone can use it and implement it without having to use a guide or a walk through process. It's very simple.""In our company, we use DarwinBox to maintain the data of our employees and for recruitment purposes.""The most valuable features of the solution are organogram and position-based mapping."

Cons
"DarwinBox is not a stable solution...DarwinBox is not a scalable solution.""The solution's API integration with third-party applications should be improved.""Like most software, it has a base version, the vanilla, out-of-the-box version, and customization is required to match it to the unique processes of each company. The Darwinbox team seems to be having difficulty with the customization process. They have to be a little more mature to customize it as per every company's need."

More DarwinBox Cons →

"The product doesn't have a modernized look and is not very user-friendly like other products.""The Reporting/Analytics and User Interface need improvement.""Visual representations, in the form of graphs and charts, can be added. This is beneficial for both management and employees. Upon accessing the system, they should generate graphical representations on their dashboard. These visuals illustrate aspects such as company-wide training progress and current company training status. The information encompasses both company-related data and personal profiles. This approach makes it convenient to grasp the company's profile along with individual information.""Everything, including the provisioning dependency, should be moved to the instance, and coding should be kept to a minimum. Wherever possible, coding should be minimized, and everything should be a drag-and-drop.""The SAP SuccessFactors integration with old versions can improve. We are using an older finance module but we are having migration issues.""It's a bit complicated to make a change in the tool... It is time-consuming.""The stability could be a bit better.""SAP SuccessFactors' pricing structure could be improved."
