Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Workday, Oracle and others in Talent Management."We have features such as ABKRS based on the client's requirement, tariff and TMSTA, and so on."
"All of the core processes are very valuable aspects of the solution. These include personnel, administration, organizational structure, and payroll."
"SAP HCM can handle a large number of employees. We can easily process payrolls and check the arrangements, and the client can also check the performance of the employees. Additionally, it has some advanced features."
"Recently, the localization versions for different countries were increased, and that added value to the solution."
"They have some interesting features in the learning space."
"Customers can create custom infotypes to store any custom data points."
"It is a scalable solution. There are three administrators maintaining the solution: an HR person, a payroll person, and one backup."
"It is a pretty stable solution."
"I think it's perfect that every requirement has flexibility in how it is handled, and that there are several workarounds for any problem we are looking to solve. Each problem has multiple solutions, so it gives us a lot of flexibility in terms of processes."
"What I like most about SAP SuccessFactors are its recruiting and compensation features."
"This solution can be used for reporting related to employee information and contacts"
"SAP SuccessFactors is one of the most robust platforms in the world today. For a unique global company, they need a platform that is compliant, such as GDP compliant in Europe. The solution delivers high quality in their core HR IS system which is called Employee Central. The system is one of the strongest and sturdiest modules that are in existence in the world."
"Considering the flexibility of the system and its ability to accommodate complex business processes, the product is ready to be used in multiple industries."
"One of the most wonderful features is the ability to customize the modules and workflows. So far, we've done a fair bit of customization and it is helping us a lot and really adds to the value we already get from SuccessFactors."
"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."
"What I like the most is the KPI management formula."
"The solution was very good at reconfiguration and customization of their software. It helped us to meet federal regulations."
"Performance and good usability are the two most valuable features of this solution."
"It is quite user-friendly."
"The user interface is good and very easy to use."
"I found the analysis features to be very useful for our company. I also found the modules installed to be aligned with our company's KPIs. These were the two features that stood out."
"There is a lot to like about it. I really enjoy the business process framework. It's something that's really seamless. It allows you to have people within the flow. They get assigned a task to complete something to approve, etc. That's a really good piece of functionality that Workday offers. Their out-of-the-box reporting framework is also really powerful in terms of what it provides. These would be two things that I would highlight."
"It's easy to set up."
"We use this solution to manage financials, payroll and recruiting."
"SAP HCM has many different channels for communication with the consultants which makes it complex. There are delays when there is a problem."
"The organizational structure visualization could be improved in future releases. The solution has a very poor interface."
"Its reporting feature could have customization options."
"SAP HCM needs to improve its UI."
"It was difficult to deploy. There were challenges regarding configurations and implementation. So, we had a lot of issues."
"There needs to be a renovation of the interface and functionalities of the talent management modules."
"SAP is not ready to sell the license on time and delays the progress of projects. It's better to work with a competitor like Oracle. Those that are selling the product just go through powerpoints and don't have the knowledge necessary to sell. They can't answer any questions."
"This solution needs to be more configurable and user-friendly."
"The user experience could be simplified."
"There should be more connectivity with other systems."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"I don't think SuccessFactors is quite fit for use as an employee database."
"There is an area of improvement in integrating SuccessFactors with different platforms."
"The Reporting/Analytics and User Interface need improvement."
"The reporting tool is not as good as IBM Cognos which is very, very powerful."
"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."
"The security console should be made less complex."
"There were a lot of issues. There were consistency or accuracy issues with the data we had, and every time we had to pull reports in Workday, it was difficult."
"They don't have worker payroll in the product. We have to solve our payroll. I hope one day they will be able to have their own localized standard payrolls for all countries."
"The UI, UX (user experience) is very bad. It is not very interactive."
"The finance module of this solution is not great and needs improvement."
"It is good that much of the development is based on community input but often that can lead to details being ignored and small, nagging issues are ignored."
"There could be a web-based application for making payments to the employees."
"The solution has to work a lot on financial integrations, material management and CRM modules."
