Valda Coelho - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhancing HR engagement with effective development but could benefit from AI-driven improvements
The primary feature I appreciate about the solution is the information connection, allowing us to have a full employee life cycle visibility over the platforms. It also enables the creation of interactions between employees, launching communication campaigns that raise engagement. From the HR side, the most valuable features are the Learning Management Systems (LMS) that allow providing a personalized service in terms of development, where each employee can choose and architect their development plans. The second valuable feature is the autonomy each employee has to update their personal data. In terms of talent management, it helps design development processes, backups, and clearly view the criteria for those backups being achieved.

Offers many useful modules and integrations, and helps companies adhere to best practices
The main advantage of SuccessFactors is its ability to add many types of integrations within the SAP Cloud platform. Many useful modules can be implemented alongside SuccessFactors as third-party integrations, and this capability to extend the system is a big plus. Another positive for SuccessFactors is how it provides pre-defined best practices for building the solution, with plans that take you from A to Z directly. You don't need to build anything from scratch when you're using their implementation best practices for configuring the system. Within these best practices, you also have a range of options for customization, such as with the Metadata Framework (MDF) and the Business Rules feature where you can create various conditions when it comes to managing customers.

Cons

"I would like to have recruitment and acquisition features added to this solution."
"The HR portal, training model, and the development career model all need improvement."
"The solution is a little bit slow."
"The first response usually lacks depth, and if it were just an HR user submitting tickets, the outcome might be poor."
"There is room for improvements, such as including AI solutions for people management to improve job descriptions, recruitment reels, skills mapping, etc."
"Meta4 could improve by allowing users to manage things by themself."
"The HR portal, training model, and development career model could all use improvement. Stability and scalability should be improved as well."
"The user interface could be improved and the maintenance is complex when it comes to upgrades."
"There is room for improvement in licensing model."
"The price could be lower."
"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."
"We lack information regarding how to build a network."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is too high."
"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."
"There is not much scope for enhancements, personalization, or customization with the cloud-based variant of this solution, which could be improved."
"The solution is quite expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Meta4 requires annual maintenance that needs to be paid for."
"From a cost perspective, I think this is a well-balanced option."
"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 licensing fees are based on the number of modules that are being used, and the number of users."
"The price of the solution is highly expensive."
"We have a yearly license. There are no additional costs."
"It is not cheap, but it is reasonable."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing a seven to eight out of ten."
