Offers a user-friendly interface with seamless access and flexibility
The features of this solution I have found most valuable include that it is a cloud product, providing easy access without any T-codes. We can easily manage profiles and everything. I find SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central to be user-friendly, with a good UI, accessible through Fiori, making it easy to navigate without using T-codes.

Quotes from Members

Cons

"The solution's approvals hierarchy or employee hierarchy needs some improvement and more flexibility."

"Exposure to users on the volume or utilization of servers and memory is necessary. Currently, when users hit the threshold, the system experiences a slowdown."
"There needs to be familiarity mixed in with novelty."
"Product integration, particularly with collaboration tools, is lacking in this solution."
"I believe what could be improved is the EX portion of Oracle HCM Cloud and how it can more easily integrate with other tools."
"Lacks relevancy for the current generation."
"We're not receiving the proper support."
"SAP can improve RDP and reports by making them more user-friendly, as there are complex processes in understanding and handling them."

"The product could be more affordable."
"Pricing is largely determined by what is agreed upon."
