User-Friendly Platform with Valuable Features but Needs Improvement in Pool of Questions and Statistics
The integration with Google Workspace is great because we have many tools such as Google Meet, Google Sheets, and Google Drive. However, the space is very limited. We purchased extra space until it reached 100 gigabytes. I have been using Google since having a Gmail account in 2001 when I was a student. Google Classroom allows me to make quizzes and assignments for students with random ordering, but I would appreciate having a pool of questions feature. For example, having 1000 questions and extracting 20 for each student would allow every student to have a different version. Currently, while using quizzes, every question appears to every student, though the order might differ. Adding the pool of questions would be beneficial. Having statistics while students take their exams would be helpful - showing how many students submitted, how many are in progress, and how many have not started the quiz. Having a log file to track students who opened documents would be valuable. In Moodle, I can see which students opened files, downloaded them, or watched videos. This feature is not available in Google Classroom, which is why I prefer other applications with more powerful statistics to trace student performance.

User satisfaction grows with valuable features and excellent customer support
Some features of SAP SuccessFactors Learning that require improvement include reporting tools and dashboarding, which are not so good, and integration is really difficult. In the future, I suggest updates primarily on the mobile user experience side, reporting, dashboarding, and workflows. An AI version would definitely help significantly. Integrating SAP SuccessFactors Learning with HR systems through HR processes in my organization is very difficult.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Google Classroom is the ability to share my lectures with many students, assign tasks to be completed, and overall student engagement."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The most valuable features of Google Classroom are the meetings, mark book, and assignments."
"The features I found most valuable in Google Classroom are live chatting, sending messages, notifications, and accessing documents, which is very easy, simple, and user-friendly."
"I find Jamboard to be a great tool for supporting classroom activities."
"I would rate the initial setup a nine out of ten. It is very straightforward."
"I like that Google Classroom is free and integrates with the entire Google Suite, which includes Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, etc. I also like its flexibility, which makes it perfect for synchronous, asynchronous, and blended courses, and including live and archived webinars, as well as other kinds of content."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its performance."
"Reporting is very nice."
"The most valuable features are continuous performance, activities, achievements, objectives for performance appraisal, and development learning."
"The implementation of SAP SuccessFactors Learning has definitely impacted our operational efficiency and cost savings."
"The most valuable feature is the smooth integration."
"The platform now offers an improved user interface with options like custom cards and banners that enhance the user experience."
"The platform's most valuable feature is personalized learning recommendations."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning is highly scalable."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning is very user-friendly."
 

Cons

"It would be useful if this solution had its own online teaching platform with an integration with a Google video conferencing tool."
"Initially, the product's initial setup phase may not seem user-friendly."
"It would be helpful to add voice or audio capabilities to the classrooms instead of text only."
"I would like to see a master list of documents with folder names so that it is more convenient for students to know whether they have submitted a particular document. At present, you need to go to each classroom to check what you have submitted."
"Google Classroom could benefit from tools that help correct coding errors for students, thereby enhancing learning."
"The user interface of Google Classroom could improve by being more user-friendly."
"Students used to have points that were accumulated and the letter grades, such as A's, B's, C's, et cetera. Google Classroom should add a feature by which you can toggle in between both of them. It's more than only accumulated points, which are not going to mean that much for students unless there's a prize at the end or some type of reward for the effort. However, if there's a way to toggle in between allocating points versus allocating a grade, it would be nice."
"The stability of the product is an area with certain flaws where improvements are required."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning doesn't have a punch-in and punch-out facility."
"We encounter challenges when connecting with external systems and moving from one platform to another within SAP."
"The consultants implementing this solution could be more knowledgeable."
"There is no portal within the tool for collaboration."
"The only drawback of the tool is that it is dependent on its database."
"There is room for enhancement in their core HR system, Employee Central."
"The technical support team has room for improvement."
"The product needs to improve its escalation system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are an educational institution, and it is free of charge for us. Normally, if you are a private company, you have to pay a lot of money to get this service, but they are giving it for free to schools."

"The product is free."

"We did not need a license to use Google Classroom."
"My child's school made payments on a subscription-based model to use Google Classroom."
"I use the free version of Google Classroom."
"There are competitors that offer free solutions, making the price of Google Classroom high."
"The tool is cheap."
"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."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a one out of ten."
"The solution is really cheap."
"The additional costs in the solution are based on usage and in regard to the functionalities or services leveraged."
