Consolidates various HR functions into a single, unified platform
Setting up SAP SuccessFactors was easy, but it has limitations due to being a cloud platform and the deployment took about a year for our organization. I would rate the easiness of the initial setup as a seven out of ten. Its ease of deployment stands out as a key advantage. Once implemented, we can manage the solution internally without relying on external partners, thanks to its user-friendly interface. We used SAP's Activate Methodology, based on agile principles, for deploying SuccessFactors. The process involved working with SAP partners to follow a structured approach. Around 15 people were involved in deploying SuccessFactors, with roles ranging from program and project managers to solution architects and consultants. Currently, our in-house team of about six people handles maintenance, addressing both incidents and enhancements.

The tool's deployment is not complex but need to work on multi-tenant trainings
The challenge was understanding the entire solution, particularly its capabilities for managing training within a distributed organization. As part of a group of companies, some with training hubs and others working differently, the need for different tenants arose. This helps organize the training…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of the solution were the deployment and onboarding."
"The learning features are great."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning is highly scalable."
"The solution is a user-friendly application for learning, designing, and setting up courses."
"The solution's most valuable feature is tracking."
"The product offers a lot of information which we can share with systems."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning's most valuable features are accessibility and updated UX. 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."
"The tool's deployment is not complex."
 

Cons

"What needs improvement in SAP SuccessFactors Learning is the user interface. The user management and the integration of the whole suite could also be improved. The solution also needs to be modernized because at the moment, it's a little bit outdated. It's old-fashioned, and though it has a data import feature, that's just plain outdated. SAP SuccessFactors Learning doesn't have any cutting-edge features."
"The product needs to improve its escalation system."
"This solution does not support right to left for the Arabic Language, and the Arabic text support is very bad."
"The technical support team has room for improvement."
"SuccessFactors Learning solely serves as a plain learning experience platform without any pre-existing content."
"The product must make the integrations more seamless."
"The consultants implementing this solution could be more knowledgeable."
"The GUI and dashboards are areas in the solution with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The challenge was understanding the entire solution, particularly its capabilities for managing training within a distributed organization. As part of a group of companies, some with training hubs and others working differently, the need for different tenants arose. This helps organize the training offerings centrally, addressing the challenge of a multi-tenant solution, which wasn't fully grasped initially."

"A company is required to pay annual licensing fees."
"The additional costs in the solution are based on usage and in regard to the functionalities or services leveraged."
"I rate the price for SAP SuccessFactors Learning an eight out of ten, with ten being the highest."
"The price of SAP SuccessFactors Learning could be better, it is expensive. There is an annual subscription. It's overpriced for small enterprises."
