Gayathri Advani - PeerSpot reviewer
Director at Apian Consultancy
The product is highly dependent on other tools, and it doesn’t have reporting functions
The product is quite poor in integration with the back end. We can’t report out of it very well. It's highly dependent on other tools. If it doesn't integrate properly, it can be quite complex to work with. I don't see any value in having a learning experience platform over and above a working LMS like Cornerstone. Getting data out as an administrator has always been bad because the product doesn’t have its own reporting functions. It has a reporting tool added to it. It's not part of the core system. It's very hard to report on data accurately and know that the data is accurate because it doesn't always reflect what's actually in the tool.

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

"The integrations work fine."
"It is a very stable tool. It is the most stable security application."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning's most valuable features are accessibility and updated UX, as the solution can be accessed from outside of the office network and the user's experience is good."
"The best feature of SAP SuccessFactors Learning for me is the assignment profile. It's a rather specific feature, but this is what comes to mind."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning is highly scalable."
"One valuable aspect of SAP SuccessFactors Learning is its stability and established customer base, particularly evident in modules like Employee Central."
"The implementation of SAP SuccessFactors Learning has definitely impacted our operational efficiency and cost savings."
"The most valuable features are continuous performance, activities, achievements, objectives for performance appraisal, and development learning."
"The platform now offers an improved user interface with options like custom cards and banners that enhance the user experience."
 

Cons

"It's highly dependent on other tools."
"Licensing is a major challenge in the solution."
"One area I would like to improve in SAP SuccessFactors Learning is the overall user experience and product feedback loop."
"The application integration between cloud and on-premises storage has been completed. However, there is still room for improvement in integrating EC and SAP applications."
"The initial installation could be a bit easier."
"There is room for enhancement in their core HR system, Employee Central."
"The product must make the integrations more seamless."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning doesn't have a punch-in and punch-out facility."
"The price of SAP SuccessFactors Learning could be better, it is expensive. There is an annual subscription. It's overpriced for small enterprises."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool’s pricing is too much for what it is."
"The pricing changes and the license amount is quite costly."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning is an on-premise solution, there is a one-time fee, which will be given by a company during the implementation. Additionally, there are support fees, which are annual."
"The solution is really cheap."
"The licensing cost for SAP SuccessFactors Learning is rather expensive, but it's not the only SAP tool my company uses in the suite, so it's very hard to compare prices."
"My company does have to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. My company considers the solution to be worth its price, but we don't consider it to be a cheap solution."
"A company is required to pay annual licensing fees."
"You need to procure licensing and it is expensive."
"The price of SAP SuccessFactors Learning could be better, it is expensive. There is an annual subscription. It's overpriced for small enterprises."
