Vice President & Group Head People & Workplace Management at PLDT Enterprise
Integrated employee data has improved HR coordination but reporting and interface still need work
The GUI of SAP SuccessFactors Learning is still not very good. The drop-downs are too limited. One thing I want to have is an advisory banner with highlighted font that employees can visibly see during login, but support indicated this cannot be done. I have already raised this request to the support team, and they mentioned that the same request has come from other companies.

Good automation and dashboards with helpful customer support
TalentLMS is packed with instrumental features that are pertinent to a successful Learning Management System. Of these, the most impactful features are: 1. Automation. Notifications can to automated to notify users of assigned courses, remind users of outstanding courses, and email PDF certificates upon successful completion. 2. Rewards and Recognition. This feature makes it fun, competitive, and engaging via a point system and recognition of top learners. 3. Customer Support. The customer support team was amazing when I first began using this solution. They scheduled video meetings with me to personally demonstrate alternative solutions to issues I was having with data management. 4. Dashboard. Data is readily available in the form of interactive dashboards with modern, crisp data visuals. This shows the performance of the LMS, highlighting areas that can be improved and recognizing strong points in the business operations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SAP SuccessFactors Learning is highly stable and it is used by many companies."
"The best feature of SAP SuccessFactors Learning for me is the assignment profile. It's a rather specific feature, but this is what comes to mind."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning's most valuable features are accessibility and updated UX, as the solution can be accessed from outside of the office network and the user's experience is good."
"The platform's most valuable feature is personalized learning recommendations."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning easily interfaces with our other systems."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning is very user-friendly."
"The product offers a lot of information which we can share with systems."
"Assignment Profiles: Data driven training assignments."
"It is one of the least expensive learning management systems I've ever worked with."
"The setup for TalentLMS is easier than Cypher LMS."
"Notifications can to automated to notify users of assigned courses, remind users of outstanding courses, and email PDF certificates upon successful completion."
"You can't beat this solution for the price; I've worked with Cornerstone On-Demand, Captivate Pride, Sum Total, and Knowledge Planet, and those learning systems are $40 to $70 per person, but for this solution, depending on what licensing level you're at, you're looking at less than $3 a user per month, and the pricing is insane for what you get, which is why my company is still using it."
 

Cons

"I am talking about SAP in general, so there are multiple screens that you have to go through, and it takes some time to get used to it."
"This solution does not support right to left for the Arabic Language, and the Arabic text support is very bad."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning doesn't have a punch-in and punch-out facility."
"The initial installation could be a bit easier."
"The solution should have a more user-friendly dashboard because its current dashboard is not so great."
"The technical support team has room for improvement."
"The price of SAP SuccessFactors Learning could be better, it is expensive. There is an annual subscription. It's overpriced for small enterprises."
"The course analytics feature takes a long time to load data, which is especially problematic for managers who want to quickly access reports and dashboards."
"Regarding improvement areas, when I upload animated training packs in Microsoft PowerPoint format, the animation and transitions are lost. This makes it static."
"The biggest challenge of TalentLMS is that if you use their builder and go through the effort of building courses in their programming along with your text and information, the only thing you're going to be able to pull out are images or media."
"The problem with TalentLMS is that it has some bugs. If you need to upload an image, then it will cause trouble. It is not actually stable."
"The built-in builder has some rather serious limitations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cheap."
"The solution is expensive, but it's a good product."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning is an on-premise solution, there is a one-time fee, which will be given by a company during the implementation. Additionally, there are support fees, which are annual."
"My company does have to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. My company considers the solution to be worth its price, but we don't consider it to be a cheap solution."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a one out of ten."
"You need to procure licensing and it is expensive."
"The pricing changes and the license amount is quite costly."
"Compared to Workday, SAP SuccessFactors Learning is not an expensive solution."
"You can't beat this solution for the price."
