Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"IBM Kenexa is fairly stable. We don't have any downtime.""The ease of scaling is one of BrassRing's biggest strengths, making it a trusted choice for large companies.""The most valuable features are that we can upload documents and download them on demand.""It is extremely user friendly. It is very flexible in managing recruitment, especially when you have thousands of applicants as we did. We easily had over 20,000 applicants within a year for some of our positions, so it made it very easy to manage a large application pool. It was very easy to customize by recruiter preference. When you open up someone's profile to see their experience, education, or other things, you can customize that for yourself. It was flexible in that, and each recruiter could set up their preferences. It didn't have to be set up so that everyone had to have the same landing platform, which was very helpful. As someone who trained other HR people on how to use the system, it was very easy to pick up and learn."

Cons
"I would not recommend IBM Kenexa to others.""It needs to update its reporting and analytics tools.""The reporting tool is helpful, but it is not the easiest to train on or is not as understandable for other HR pros. Their Workbench site, which is the administrator site that you use to update your website, is not user-friendly. When updates are required, it is not that easy to manage because Workbench is not user friendly. It required more work from the admins. They have Workbench training, which actually was very unhelpful. It took eight hours to complete, and it was not very helpful. Their customer service when it comes specifically to their Workbench site is not helpful.""I would like to have a better and more user-friendly interface."

More IBM Kenexa Cons →

"The technical support team has room for improvement.""Licensing is a major challenge in the solution.""This solution does not support right to left for the Arabic Language, and the Arabic text support is very bad.""The consultants implementing this solution could be more knowledgeable.""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 The solution also needs to be modernized because at the moment, it's a little bit outdated. It's old-fashioned, and though it has a data import feature, that's just plain outdated.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.""There is room for enhancement in their core HR system, Employee Central.""The certifications are valid for only six months.""The solution should have a more user-friendly dashboard because its current dashboard is not so great."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Kenexa was fairly priced. However, in 2019, before I left my previous organization, they significantly increased their pricing. It can be affordable, but their pricing is going up. It is not just licensing; it is how many applicants you have in your system on the database side."
  • More IBM Kenexa Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "A company is required to pay annual licensing fees."
  • "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 price of SAP SuccessFactors Learning could be better, it is expensive. There is an annual subscription. It's overpriced for small enterprises."
  • "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."
  • "The solution is expensive, but it's a good product."
  • "The pricing changes and the license amount is quite costly."
  • "The additional costs in the solution are based on usage and in regard to the functionalities or services leveraged."
  • "I rate the price for SAP SuccessFactors Learning an eight out of ten, with ten being the highest."
