Assistant Manager at Kashiv Biosciences
HR has gained clear analytics for attrition, goals, and appraisals and manages talent efficiently
SAP SuccessFactors has a low error rate. We had many ad hoc reports that we needed to generate, and it was very easy to do so in SAP SuccessFactors. We also created many in-house reports according to our specific requirements with the help of this tool, which was a really big game changer for us. We did not depend on advanced Excel in those cases. We generated a lot of detailed reports whenever we needed them during emergency cases or board meetings. A lot of usefulness and time were saved in those cases. I will also mention that we conducted a comparative study for some recruitment cases. We had a recruitment model where we were looking for a very niche profile. Since the job profile was really different and rare, we had to depend on analytics to understand and shortlist from a large pool of candidates that we already had in our database. Analytics was really helpful in this situation.

The video function could be improved. Now that we do a lot of digital interviews, you can actually have your own video function. Still, I would prefer if it were more of a team function where you could change the background, for example. With everyone currently working from home offices due to lockdowns, some of the backgrounds look quite unprofessional. It would be nice if we could have our own unique background — for branding purposes during interviews. When we schedule an interview, in the message function, you can create a placeholder using a name, etc. I would like to have more generic placeholders and for them to be included in the message function when you schedule the interview.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"They are the easiest to use without additional instructions."
"SAP SuccessFactors forms a key tool to our Employee Engagement pillar extensively leveraged by our HR function across the Group."
"The tool's most valuable feature is document generation."
"We like that all the employee events, everything, can be managed on one single system and it is very user-friendly and very agile."
"SuccessFactors is a great product, offering a lot of flexibility, customization, integration and disintegration points as well, which are the most preferred requirements in an optimized solution so you should take a look."
"This solution offers good flexibility and configurability. It can handle different types of performance management."
"Once we switched to SuccessFactors and started enjoying all of its features, it's really given us an edge and things have been going great."
"The product is easy to use and they've recently developed a new and more user-friendly layout where everything is right in front of you."
"From my experience, there's no better system currently on the market."
"It's just an easy solution to connect with."
 

Cons

"What needs to be improved in this product is the user experience."
"The data management part can be improved in terms of how you can manage data from the HR admin's or HR team's perspective. It has some limitations in the reporting part in terms of how you can update the data and fetch the data. SAP HCM comparatively has a lot of capabilities in terms of backup loads, data management, data changes, etc. You can do these things easily, which is not the case with SAP SuccessFactors. Data management should be simplified in SAP SuccessFactors in terms of accessing the data, reporting, and then manipulating the data."
"SuccessFactors' experience management is not so user-friendly."
"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."
"I think there is room for improvement in user friendliness. In my experience, users are sometimes confused about how to use the solution."
"Pricing is a bit high and on the higher side."
"Technical support has been an issue since day one."
"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 video function could be improved."
"The video function could be improved. It would be nice if we could have our own unique background — for branding purposes during interviews."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It could be cheaper."
"The pricing for SuccessFactors is ridiculously high, and there are costs in addition to the license fee for some features."
"Due to the way in which we purchased SuccessFactors as a module along with other SAP modules, we were able to procure it at a slightly better price than usual. I would rate their pricing 5/5 stars."
"The product is expensive. The product is worth the money you pay for it."
"This is a more costly solution than comparable products, and training is not available in the open-market, so this has to be purchased separately from the vendor."
"Probably, it is one of the priciest products, and is very costly to put up and maintain but because it is a good solution end to end, people take it."
"I rate the tool's pricing a seven to eight out of ten."
"Our costs for the solution are subsidized by our parent company, I am not aware of the exact cost because of this. However, we pay $50,000 annually. If we move to another solution it will be more expensive."
"We pay a fixed amount that includes support. I think it's a very good deal actually."
