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:

"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."

"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 most valuable features are continuous performance, activities, achievements, objectives for performance appraisal, and development learning."

"One valuable aspect of SAP SuccessFactors Learning is its stability and established customer base, particularly evident in modules like Employee Central."

"The most valuable feature for us in SAP SuccessFactors is the Performance Management module."

"Some valuable features include assigning various courses to employees based on their groups and roles, as well as providing specialized training for new hires."

Cons

"It's highly dependent on other tools."

"The flexibility and user-friendliness of the user's front end can be improved."

"Support needs improvement."

"The GUI of SAP SuccessFactors Learning is still not very good."

"This solution does not support right to left for the Arabic Language, and the Arabic text support is very bad."

"The initial installation could be a bit easier."

"The only drawback of the tool is that it is dependent on its database."

"The product must make the integrations more seamless."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool’s pricing is too much for what it is."

"The price of SAP SuccessFactors Learning could be better, it is expensive. There is an annual subscription. It's overpriced for small enterprises."

"A company is required to pay annual licensing fees."

"The additional costs in the solution are based on usage and in regard to the functionalities or services leveraged."

"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."

"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."

"You need to procure licensing and it is expensive."
