Enhanced performance reviews with flexible goal setting and valuable employee feedback
I primarily use Cornerstone Performance for performance appraisals, year-end reviews, check-ins, and competency assessments. It's about managers and direct reports, employees meeting and discussing their progress on milestones, etc The tasks themselves, such as the performance reviews and…

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would definitely recommend Cornerstone Performance."
"The most valuable feature is the onboarding module, which enables candidates to fill in their details online and smoothly transitions data from the recruitment module into the SAP database."
"Considering the flexibility of the system and its ability to accommodate complex business processes, the product is ready to be used in multiple industries."
"This solution has automatic linking and reporting features. Upgrades are hassle-free because you don't need to change everything from scratch, when compared to Meta4."
"The overall functionality of the solution is very good."
"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."
"SuccessFactors' best features are talent management and HR Analytics."
"The best features that were working well for us was the Goal Management and Performance Management. They were the most valuable to our organization."
"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."
 

Cons

"The competency assessment is not as flexible as the rest of the solution features. I would like more options for customization."
"Some of the screens aren't that user-friendly, older employees especially have a hard time with it. They have some problems with it."
"The SAP SuccessFactors updates need to be more industry-specific because every industry has specific modules. What I want to be added to SAP SuccessFactors is a chat box where SAP staff can give support to users."
"They should work on a faster way of locating a proper documentation."
"SAP resources are at the high end and anything you want to change or any customization is expensive."
"It is not that user-friendly. It can be made more user-friendly."
"They should be more user friendly and give us more tools to make it more flexible."
"The user experience and interface are not user-friendly."
"SuccessFactors could be improved by making it usable on mobile and making its features less rigid."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of the solution is highly expensive."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
