Cons
"The global scalability and support could improve.""They had challenges getting the performance management system up and integrated with our systems.""The solution's workflow can improve by adding more customization at the organizational level.""They could include a sort of collaborative platform where employees are able to work together with a chat mechanism like WhatsApp and video chat.""It would be helpful if you could work offline because sometimes, we have problems with internet connectivity.""They could improve talent management capabilities."

More PeopleStrong Cons →

"SuccessFactors should consider building their best practices around critical industries to help companies become more differentiated in the markets they operate in.""We encountered challenges with the tool's integration with third-party applications and deployments.""The pricing of SAP is quite high.""SAP should also look into easily integrating with other applications or other tools. Technology has changed now, and it should be easier for any application to integrate with other apps. There needs to be more flexibility.""Everything, including the provisioning dependency, should be moved to the instance, and coding should be kept to a minimum. Wherever possible, coding should be minimized, and everything should be a drag-and-drop.""The reporting and cloud integration could be done better in this solution.""I would like to be able to configure objects from instances, not from import and export files.""One of the most essential features that needs improvement right now is the reporting functionality. SuccessFactors' reports seem to be lagging a bit behind and we are very interested in customizing the reporting mechanism such that it pushes reports through quickly and automatically."
