Robust, responsive support, and plenty of modules available
SAP SuccessFactors is one of the most robust platforms in the world today. A global company needs a platform that is compliant (such as GDP compliant in Europe), a solution that enables strong workflows and delivers high quality in their core HRIS system which is called Employee Central. It offers a high level of audit tracking that can be kind of customized for the requirements of clients by region, by country, or within the same country. The system is one of the strongest and sturdiest modules that are in existence in the world. It is much easier to integrate SAP SuccessFactors with other software. There are many third-party software vendors that can be integrated.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The UI and UX are fantastic."
"Some of the most valuable features are the onboarding experience of new employees, the employee service portal, and the entire performance management system."
"The hiring process is good. It will create a process-oriented procedure in terms of hiring, promotion, the movement of people, and other related HR tasks."
"The mobile responsiveness is strong."
"It has the capability of reporting. We, as a business team, found it good. In fact, we migrated to PeopleStrong essentially because of its reporting feature."
"The product has valuable flexibility for customization, user interface, and search capabilities."
"PeopleStrong Alt is flexible because it allows customization and the user's experience is very good."
"SAP SuccessFactors is a stable solution."
"The UX in SAP SuccessFactors is good."
"In terms of user experience, it is quite good."
"All of SuccessFactors' features are useful, but there are several modules within SuccessFactors that I find handy. You have Employee Central, which manages employee records within the system. It manages all the information about an employee, including names, addresses, account numbers, positions, org charts, etc. It also handles performance reviews and KPIs for employees within an organization. Then you have succession planning and development as well."
"It covers all the everyday functions of the employee life cycle."
"SAP SuccessFactors is stable, we have not found any bugs or glitches."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its integration capabilities with on-premise ERPs and other systems."
"The best features that were working well for us was the Goal Management and Performance Management. They were the most valuable to our organization."
 

Cons

"It would be helpful if you could work offline because sometimes, we have problems with internet connectivity."
"They had challenges getting the performance management system up and integrated with our systems."
"They could include a sort of collaborative platform where employees are able to work together with a chat mechanism like WhatsApp and video chat."
"They could improve talent management capabilities."
"The global scalability and support could improve."
"Sometimes, we feel that we should have an API-based integration aspect."
"The solution's workflow can improve by adding more customization at the organizational level."
"One area for improvement is making SuccessFactors more compatible with other countries, especially in terms of payroll and other functionalities."
"The pricing of SAP is quite high."
"The reporting and cloud integration could be done better in this solution."
"There is an area of improvement in integrating SuccessFactors with different platforms."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"The SAP SuccessFactors updates need to be more industry-specific because every industry has specific modules. What I want to be added to SAP SuccessFactors is a chat box where SAP staff can give support to users."
"Overall, the documentation could be improved, and I think the learning management module needs to include more capabilities when it comes to matching an organization's particular learning approach."
"Language settings in the solution need to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
"It's very reasonably priced. It is paid per employee."
"The product is expensive. The product is worth the money you pay for it."
"The pricing for SuccessFactors is ridiculously high, and there are costs in addition to the license fee for some features."
"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."
"I have raised change requests for some modules within SuccessFactors. For example, when you're using Recruiting Management, there's a feature called Interview Central you can use to reach the candidates you're interviewing. I wanted to add a writing assessment when I select the competency on that platform. It varies from consultant to consultant, depending on what module they use."
"SAP SuccessFactors requires an annual subscription."
"I rate the tool's pricing a seven to eight out of ten."
"The cost of SAP SuccessFactors is reasonable."
"The solution is on the expensive side but is definitely worth the money."
