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.…

A cloud-oriented HRMS that needs to be more flexible and improve offline support
We use ZingHR as a human resource management system. It helps us manage recruitment, generate offer letters, and maintain employee database and attendance.  The solution is a cloud HRMS, which makes it a self-sufficient model. You can do a lot of things without taking anybody's help.  ZingHR is…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It's brought to our organization a big big improvement. We would give it a good rating."
"The features of the solution that I found valuable for my business are its ability to create a dashboard, pie charts, and reporting functions, as well as advanced reporting capabilities."
"Talent Acquisition and Learning features are best in class."
"I think it's perfect that every requirement has flexibility in how it is handled, and that there are several workarounds for any problem we are looking to solve. Each problem has multiple solutions, so it gives us a lot of flexibility in terms of processes."
"SuccessFactors offers all aspects of Human Resources Management. What I love most about it is that it can be implemented for any company very quickly."
"What I like the most is the KPI management formula."
"The self-service part is most valuable. Employees and managers can do a lot of things on their own, and they are not dependent on the HR organization."
"The solution is a cloud HRMS, which makes it a self-sufficient model. You can do a lot of things without taking anybody's help."
"The most valuable feature of ZingHR is the data bulk uploading and downloading."
 

Cons

"The integration between the recruitment module and employee central is a big problem."
"They should be more user friendly and give us more tools to make it more flexible."
"The Onboarding module must be improved."
"I think there is room for improvement in user friendliness. In my experience, users are sometimes confused about how to use the solution."
"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."
"Integration between Employee Central and Compensation in SAP SuccessFactors is one area of the solution that has room for improvement."
"One area of improvement is the time taken to configure changes, such as taxation rules, which can take several months."
"The user experience and interface are not user-friendly."
"ZingHR is not flexible and needs to improve offline support."
"ZingHR could improve by giving administration users from the front end the ability to make corrections. I am having to do the bulk corrections from an Excel upload from the system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think the pricing is a little better than most solutions out there. There are reasonable prices when it comes to some of the modules such as the Payroll module, and for the remaining modules I believe the pricing is fair in comparison to the rest of the market."
"It is not expensive because it is a complete suite with a module-based cost."
"We have a yearly license. There are no additional costs."
"I have raised change requests for some modules within SuccessFactors. For example, when you're using Recruiting Management, there's a feature called Interview Central you can use to reach the candidates you're interviewing. I wanted to add a writing assessment when I select the competency on that platform. It varies from consultant to consultant, depending on what module they use."
"I rate the tool's pricing a seven to eight out of ten."
"We are on an annual subscription to use SAP SuccessFactors. The pricing model is something that they could restructure a bit better. If it was based differently on the type of usage it would help."
"The cost of SAP SuccessFactors is reasonable."
"SAP SuccessFactors requires an annual subscription."
"ZingHR is not expensive."
"ZingHR is a less expensive solution than others, such as SAP SuccessFactors."
