Good work-related personality survey, but it needs to be updated
When it comes to understanding personality, the models are not dynamic enough. They use old, obsolete or outdated terminology. In general, they need to be updated. They need to include more dimensions for analyzing personality. They do not have an option for Saudi norms, or Arab norms, so we utilize the US norms. The problem is that these are not right for people working in the Middle East because the market is different and the culture is different. The US norms do not, for example, take into account the problems associated with regions that are underdeveloped culturally. I would add a dimension that deals with how the person perceives the culture of their society or the culture of their organization. It would help to determine how honest they are in their understanding, as opposed to pretending or being a hypocrite. It is important to do this in a sophisticated way so that they people do not figure out the reasons underlying those items, otherwise, they may get defensive and only answer the questions in the same way that they would answer their employer. Another dimension they should add deals with personal lifestyle. I work in the area of human health, both physical and mental, and it is very important to understand the employee's lifestyle. It is something where people often do not tell the truth unless you know them pretty well. For example, sometimes people deny that they are smoking or drinking, yet the reality is that they have these habits. People who are overweight sometimes deny the fact. Psychological problems are the same. OutMatch is not competitive in the Middle East.

HR has gained clear analytics for attrition, goals, and appraisals and manages talent efficiently
SAP SuccessFactors has a low error rate. We had many ad hoc reports that we needed to generate, and it was very easy to do so in SAP SuccessFactors. We also created many in-house reports according to our specific requirements with the help of this tool, which was a really big game changer for us. We did not depend on advanced Excel in those cases. We generated a lot of detailed reports whenever we needed them during emergency cases or board meetings. A lot of usefulness and time were saved in those cases. I will also mention that we conducted a comparative study for some recruitment cases. We had a recruitment model where we were looking for a very niche profile. Since the job profile was really different and rare, we had to depend on analytics to understand and shortlist from a large pool of candidates that we already had in our database. Analytics was really helpful in this situation.

"Easy to use and user-friendly."
"As for the product itself, I like its flexibility and configurability."
"The solution is very intuitive. Many of the things we need to do are easily accessible."
"SAP SuccessFactors integrated solution, allows us to start the process from a recruitment marketing perspective and have our career site and candidate profile pull through into each other."
"Currently, we are using the performance and goals management functionality the most. It is connected with the enterprise solution, and it is seamless. It can be easily accessed because it is available via the net. It is readily available, provided you have an internet connection. Their technical support is also very good."
"Allow me to highlight that we went live for eight countries in scope for the Payroll HCM, and also went live for more than 12 countries in terms of SuccessFactors employee data."
 

Cons

"When it comes to understanding personality, the models are not dynamic enough. They use old, obsolete or outdated terminology. In general, they need to be updated."
"The pricing of SAP is quite high."
"Employee Central made an incredible improvement, but still is behind the SAP HCM On Prem solution."
"The technology is changing quickly and the solution requires support but it's not forthcoming."
"There's room for improvement in SAP SuccessFactors, particularly in terms of innovation. I'd like more flexibility in its functionality and more customization."
"Be prepared for price surprises. It’s quite expensive."
"The installation was a bit complex. They are more complicated than other cloud solutions."
"The organization is planning to move to Darwinbox from SAP SuccessFactors, primarily due to pricing considerations."
"SuccessFactors could be improved by making it usable on mobile and making its features less rigid."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We don't utilize even half of the licenses because not everyone uses them. With SAP SuccessFactors, though, we're now conducting all our performance evaluations within the system, so I suppose we're making better use of those licenses. As for SAP for employee services and internal benefits processing, we do have licenses for those but don't utilize them."
"The price of the solution is highly expensive."
"For SAP, the product is pricey, both CAPEX and the OPEX. It's something that could be improved."
"The cost of SAP SuccessFactors is reasonable."
"It is not cheap, but it is reasonable."
"It could be cheaper."
"The licensing fees are based on the number of modules that are being used, and the number of users."
"I rate the tool's pricing a seven to eight out of ten."
