JM
Learning Solution Architect at a recruiting/HR firm with self employed
A flexible solution with superb automation capabilities
The technical support is high-end. They're knowledgeable people, both in the US and in the Philippines. One point of improvement — they should talk more to each other. They're quite responsive, but it depends on the scope of the ticket. If it's just solving an issue from one product, you can have either a consultant from the US or from the Philippines. It gets difficult when a solution is about integration. For instance, authentication mechanisms. Authentication mechanisms come from the US and they have to be incorporated in the Asia version. Then it's difficult because support has to talk to each other.

Assistant Manager at Kashiv Biosciences
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, it’s easy to learn and use."
"I find the PeopleFluent implementation support to be extremely flexible and generous towards their customers."
"This solution is extremely flexible and the automation capabilities are great."
"From a general perspective, I think that it's very satisfactory to have a full solution that can cover everything in Human Resources Management."
"We use the cloud version to maintain all the employee records, payroll, etc., and we use everything that comes with the HR suite."
"The tool's most valuable feature is document generation."
"Talent Acquisition and Learning features are best in class."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the performance management module."
"The most important feature is the ability to follow up on the yearly performance of the team. It's very good for management to understand how people are performing."
"We are partners with a company and we are responsible for using this software for our clients."
"SuccessFactors is a great product, offering a lot of flexibility, customization, integration and disintegration points as well, which are the most preferred requirements in an optimized solution so you should take a look."
 

Cons

"The integration capabilities could be improved. Integration of the recently acquired Learning Management System into the PeopleFluent suite, since it's clear that it's just recently acquired and it's not fully integrated."
"The integration capabilities could be improved."
"Give us the ability to source within the tool. It may just be how it’s configured for our organization, but we do not have the ability to source resumes in PeopleFluent."
"Employee Central made an incredible improvement, but still is behind the SAP HCM On Prem solution."
"SAP SuccessFactors functionality doesn't meet the expectation of our end users. There are other solutions that have better functionality, such as Workday, which is one of the top applications. Additionally, the solution could be easier to use."
"LMS, Learning Management Systems, needs improvement because there were some stability problems."
"he user interface could be improved."
"There is not much scope for enhancements, personalization, or customization with the cloud-based variant of this solution, which could be improved."
"Integration between Employee Central and Compensation in SAP SuccessFactors is one area of the solution that has room for improvement."
"SuccessFactors' experience management is not so user-friendly."
"SAP needs to add more power to its built-in analytics capability as part of the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not too expensive, but not too cheap either."
"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."
"Our costs for the solution are subsidized by our parent company, I am not aware of the exact cost because of this. However, we pay $50,000 annually. If we move to another solution it will be more expensive."
"The product is expensive. The product is worth the money you pay for it."
"It is not cheap, but it is reasonable."
"The price of the solution depends on too many factors to provide an estimate. However, the price of SAP SuccessFactors is competitive."
"The cost of SAP SuccessFactors is reasonable."
"I rate the tool's pricing a seven to eight out of ten."
"SAP SuccessFactors requires an annual subscription."
