Gayathri Advani - PeerSpot reviewer
The product is highly dependent on other tools, and it doesn’t have reporting functions
The product is quite poor in integration with the back end. We can’t report out of it very well. It's highly dependent on other tools. If it doesn't integrate properly, it can be quite complex to work with. I don't see any value in having a learning experience platform over and above a working LMS like Cornerstone. Getting data out as an administrator has always been bad because the product doesn’t have its own reporting functions. It has a reporting tool added to it. It's not part of the core system. It's very hard to report on data accurately and know that the data is accurate because it doesn't always reflect what's actually in the tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The integrations work fine."
"It is a very stable tool. It is the most stable security application."
"The tool allows us to create content and review employee progress in their educational knowledge."
"The platform now offers an improved user interface with options like custom cards and banners that enhance the user experience."
"Safety is the most robust aspect of this platform."
"The most valuable feature for us in SAP SuccessFactors is the Performance Management module."
"The product offers a lot of information which we can share with systems."
"The platform's most valuable feature is personalized learning recommendations."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning is highly scalable."
 

Cons

"It's highly dependent on other tools."
"The GUI and dashboards are areas in the solution with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The only drawback of the tool is that it is dependent on its database."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning doesn't have a punch-in and punch-out facility."
"The course analytics feature takes a long time to load data, which is especially problematic for managers who want to quickly access reports and dashboards."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning's e-learning portal has a very poor interface when compared to Cornerstone or PeopleFluent. It's a very basic interface, but I know that it has a very good foundation."
"What needs improvement in SAP SuccessFactors Learning is the user interface. The user management and the integration of the whole suite could also be improved. The solution also needs to be modernized because at the moment, it's a little bit outdated. It's old-fashioned, and though it has a data import feature, that's just plain outdated. SAP SuccessFactors Learning doesn't have any cutting-edge features."
"There is no portal within the tool for collaboration."
"The application integration between cloud and on-premises storage has been completed. However, there is still room for improvement in integrating EC and SAP applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool’s pricing is too much for what it is."
"The licensing cost for SAP SuccessFactors Learning is rather expensive, but it's not the only SAP tool my company uses in the suite, so it's very hard to compare prices."
"The price of SAP SuccessFactors Learning could be better, it is expensive. There is an annual subscription. It's overpriced for small enterprises."
"You need to procure licensing and it is expensive."
"The solution is really cheap."
"The pricing changes and the license amount is quite costly."
"The solution is expensive, but it's a good product."
"Compared to Workday, SAP SuccessFactors Learning is not an expensive solution."
"The additional costs in the solution are based on usage and in regard to the functionalities or services leveraged."
