Sentiment score

SAP SuccessFactors Learning support is mixed, showing reliable, prompt help but also communication challenges and varied user satisfaction.
I have been facing an issue with Journeys, and I had raised a couple of SRs, but unfortunately, there has been no solution until now.
Oracle provides robust technical support, with regular updates every six months or quarterly.
Oracle's technical support is generally satisfactory yet lacks flexibility and rapid response times.
The support from SAP is good.

Sentiment score
7.9
SAP SuccessFactors Learning is praised for reliability and accessibility, with users rating it highly despite minor early technical issues.
While I have not seen any downtime, the system can be slow at times.
 

Room For Improvement

Enhancements needed for UI, integration, payroll, data processing, customization, training, cost reduction, and recruitment functionalities.
SAP SuccessFactors Learning needs UI improvements, better integration, mobile apps, language support, reporting, and transparent licensing for user satisfaction.
Instead of uploading documents, a default integration with local government authorities would simplify onboarding.
Standardizing the exposure of functionalities within the application as external interfaces could enhance integration capabilities.
Integrating SAP SuccessFactors Learning with HR systems through HR processes in my organization is very difficult.
 

Setup Cost

Oracle HCM Cloud offers competitive pricing with discounts, though it may be costly for SMEs; negotiate for optimal costs.
SAP SuccessFactors Learning requires annual fees, considered expensive, but valued for technical advantages and competitive enterprise market pricing.
Oracle HCM Cloud pricing is a bit expensive compared to newer solutions.
Licensing costs were also a consideration, particularly regarding contractors.
The pricing is not bad, however, it is not affordable for everyone, especially in Africa.
 

Valuable Features

Oracle HCM Cloud is praised for its modern UI, analytics, HR functions, mobile access, and seamless updates enhancing productivity.
SAP SuccessFactors Learning offers integration, remote accessibility, personalization, robust analytics, and industry-specific support for diverse organizational training needs.
The integration capabilities of Oracle HCM Cloud are valuable, particularly its support for managing global HR operations, including absence management, talent management, employee recruitment, and performance evaluations.
For Core HR, all the UI has been changed from different, responsive to Redwood.
This makes operations easier, and Oracle has excelled in this area with Fusion Explorer.
The implementation of SAP SuccessFactors Learning has definitely impacted our operational efficiency and cost savings.

Streamlines HR operations and reduces management through valuable self-service features
We used Oracle HCM Cloud for HRMS to access without a perpetual license. We aimed to transition employees to the cloud because Oracle planned to stop support for E Business Suite by twenty twenty-five. We wanted to test and understand how Oracle HCM Cloud would support our business needs It…
ManujGupta - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
