Has all-inclusive pricing and good talent acquisition and onboarding components, and is an excellent product for mid-sized to large organizations
They could probably add surveying, as in engagement surveys, to their product. That would be something that would be valued by their customers. For instance, Culture Amp is a product that does a lot of the engagement stuff. They're diversifying into other aspects of talent management. It is not yet at the same scale as PageUp People, but it is an excellent product as well.
Renelia Villanueva - PeerSpot reviewer
Moving to a cloud-based employee portal has improved experience but user interface requires attention
I am currently handling SAP sub-modules, particularly in HR. I interface with SAP SuccessFactors modules such as Employee Central, Goals and Performance, and Talent Moving from an in-house developed employee self-service portal to a cloud-based internet solution is an improvement for us.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The talent acquisition and the onboarding components of the system are most valuable."
"The cloud security and the correct features for payroll calculations, once issues are resolved, are valuable aspects of this product."
"It is a scalable solution."
"This solution is very user-friendly, and supports 60 plus languages."
"The most valuable feature of SAP SuccessFactors is analytics."
"The solution is scalable. We have about 1,300 people using the solution."
"SAP SuccessFactors is a very reliable and stable solution."
"The best features that were working well for us was the Goal Management and Performance Management. They were the most valuable to our organization."
"Overall, it's excellent performance management."
 

Cons

"They could probably add surveying, as in engagement surveys, to their product. That would be something that would be valued by their customers. For instance, Culture Amp is a product that does a lot of the engagement stuff. They're diversifying into other aspects of talent management. It is not yet at the same scale as PageUp People, but it is an excellent product as well."
"The reporting tool is not as good as IBM Cognos which is very, very powerful."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The back end for the administration and the front end is too overtly complex and it's not aligned with our operations and learning needs."
"The organization is planning to move to Darwinbox from SAP SuccessFactors, primarily due to pricing considerations."
"I think there is room for improvement in user friendliness. In my experience, users are sometimes confused about how to use the solution."
"One area for improvement is making SuccessFactors more compatible with other countries, especially in terms of payroll and other functionalities."
"We have many interruptions and disconnection points into processes, which is why we are looking to another solution. We are not so happy with the system. We believe we have in the market better solution, so we are looking for alternatives but so far the system has been used a lot."
"The price could be lower."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PageUp has a different model from other organizations. As part of their pricing structure, they tend to work with you very closely and not charge you for the setup. So, there is one price all inclusive of setup, and for that reason, they become an attractive provider to work with. Here in Australia, the education sector has gravitated very heavily towards PageUp."
"Probably, it is one of the priciest products, and is very costly to put up and maintain but because it is a good solution end to end, people take it."
"It is not cheap, but it is reasonable."
"Due to the way in which we purchased SuccessFactors as a module along with other SAP modules, we were able to procure it at a slightly better price than usual. I would rate their pricing 5/5 stars."
"I don't want to comment on the license cost, to be honest. It could be about $1,000 approximately per customer. However, it's very flexible in terms of the licensing costs depending on the volume and depending on the deal of installation."
"The pricing for SuccessFactors is ridiculously high, and there are costs in addition to the license fee for some features."
"The product is expensive. The product is worth the money you pay for it."
"If you go by best practices and do it right from the outset, the setup won't be a costly endeavor. In terms of setup, there is a lot of flexibility compared to three years ago."
"It is not expensive because it is a complete suite with a module-based cost."
