Renelia Villanueva - PeerSpot reviewer
Moving to a cloud-based employee portal has improved experience but user interface requires attention
I am currently handling SAP sub-modules, particularly in HR. I interface with SAP SuccessFactors modules such as Employee Central, Goals and Performance, and Talent Moving from an in-house developed employee self-service portal to a cloud-based internet solution is an improvement for us.…
CS
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

"There were no major technical issues or downtimes reported with SAP SuccessFactors."
"The interface is user-friendly. It is very simple and intuitive, so it's good."
"I hardly ever encounter any stability issues, as SAP SuccessFactors is very good and stable."
"The functionality and user friendliness are constantly improving."
"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."
"The most valuable features of the solution are GUI and OData API."
"What I appreciate most about SAP SuccessFactors is that it has all the modules in one platform. SAP SuccessFactors is the best option in the market for HR use cases. I also find the solution user-friendly."
"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."
"It's just an easy solution to connect with."
 

Cons

"To explain one feature that I would like to see in SuccessFactors, I must describe a similar feature as seen in Oracle. In Oracle, there's a feature called Workforce Prediction, and with this feature, we can predict some of the behaviors of any employee. For example, the software can attempt to predict whether the employee might resign in future, or perhaps if they will start to perform better. This is something that is missing in SuccessFactors."
"The product doesn't have a modernized look and is not very user-friendly like other products."
"They should work on a faster way of locating a proper documentation."
"There have been cases involving a lot of re-implementations and frustrations within clients where they have the workbook sessions, the workbook workshops and things like that. And I think that doesn't really go down well because the workbooks are very technical and, a lot of times, very confusing for the client."
"The graphical user interface (GUI) is not very friendly. On the homepage, it is not possible to place advisories or announcements at the top."
"I think there is room for improvement in user friendliness. In my experience, users are sometimes confused about how to use the solution."
"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."
"SAP SuccessFactors could improve the integration. It is not simple to integrate and it needs to be made easier."
"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

"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 price of the solution is highly expensive."
"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."
"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."
"The cost of SAP SuccessFactors is reasonable."
"The price of the solution depends on too many factors to provide an estimate. However, the price of SAP SuccessFactors is competitive."
"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."
"We don't utilize even half of the licenses because not everyone uses them. With SAP SuccessFactors, though, we're now conducting all our performance evaluations within the system, so I suppose we're making better use of those licenses. As for SAP for employee services and internal benefits processing, we do have licenses for those but don't utilize them."
"We pay a fixed amount that includes support. I think it's a very good deal actually."
