SandeepKumar7

Head - Shared Service Operations and HR Systems at a pharma/biotech company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Useful to manage employee life cycle management but is not very easy to implement

There are quite a few things, like goal management, in terms of transferring goals from manager to subordinates, which is probably not one of the best ways to look at SAP SuccessFactors, making it an area that could have been done better. Route management and template management are pretty good areas. The reporting in the tool is not as great as I would want it to be from a PMGM internal management perspective. I just hope that SAP SuccessFactors comes up with a payroll tool that suits India. I don't see it as one of the best tools for the Indian scenario. I would love to see much better document management in the system, like onboarding. Onboarding has document management, but if I want to report through it, there is not much that I can do about it. DMS in SAP would be great since, in most places, DMS is maintained outside the system. I would have loved to see better DMS in SAP SuccessFactors. In terms of the reporting, I understand that since everything is moving to SAP SAC. Even without SAP SAC, it would be great if we could have better analytics within SAP SuccessFactors.

Allows us to connect with, take care of, and nurture possible employees

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

"The tool has a unique talent management platform."

"It's a uniform user interface."

"HR and managers can use the onboarding tool to help new employees prepare for their first day on the job, which can help them acclimate to the company culture and reduce anxiety."

"The most valuable features of the solution are GUI and OData API."

"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."

"The most important feature is the ability to follow up on the yearly performance of the team. It's very good for management to understand how people are performing."

"Overall, it's excellent performance management."

"The most valuable feature of SAP SuccessFactors is that it is a full suite of applications to enable your employees. Additionally, it has good integration with S4 HANA. Our payroll solution is from SAP and the integration becomes much easier when using SAP SuccessFactors."

More SAP SuccessFactors pros

"It's just an easy solution to connect with."

Cons

"SAP SuccessFactors can improve the recruitment module and artificial intelligence features. More powerful analytics are needed."

"SAP SuccessFactors' pricing structure could be improved."

"The price could be lower."

"There's room for improvement in SAP SuccessFactors, particularly in terms of innovation. I'd like more flexibility in its functionality and more customization. In terms of what additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of the product, it depends on the module because you have various modules in SAP SuccessFactors, so it's easier to go module by module and understand what features you have in each module. The product has a lot of features coming up, but the product being more mobile, or having mobile features would be nice."

"There is not much scope for enhancements, personalization, or customization with the cloud-based variant of this solution, which could be improved."

"The user experience and interface are not user-friendly."

"The integration between the recruitment module and employee central is a big problem."

"SAP resources are at the high end and anything you want to change or any customization is expensive."

More SAP SuccessFactors cons

"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

"So now, SAP charges me 300 Euros for 14,000 employees. I still have to pay 2,000 euros because I'm using SAP on-prem."

"The price of the solution is highly expensive."

"It is not expensive because it is a complete suite with a module-based cost."

"The solution is on the expensive side but is definitely worth the money."

"The licensing fees are based on the number of modules that are being used, and the number of users."

"If you go by best practices and do it right from the outset, the setup won't be a costly endeavor. In terms of setup, there is a lot of flexibility compared to three years ago."

"For SAP, the product is pricey, both CAPEX and the OPEX. It's something that could be improved."

"The cost of SAP SuccessFactors is reasonable."

More SAP SuccessFactors pricing and cost advice

"We pay a fixed amount that includes support. I think it's a very good deal actually."
