Integrates with various tools with flexible pricing model and easy setup
We conduct quarterly reviews throughout the year, using the system to manage the entire performance cycle. Employees and managers provide feedback, and one-on-one meetings can be scheduled directly through the platform. The system handles all records and notifications, syncing with Google Calendar and providing meeting preparation tools. Employees only need to complete their reviews, while the system takes care of the rest. After the reviews, we receive insights from all departments and regions, helping us analyze performance trends. HiBob can be configured to support hybrid and remote work, but its effectiveness will depend on how well it aligns with your company's needs and setup. While the system allows for customization, including features like tracking birthdays and anniversaries, its usefulness for remote work will vary. Compliance issues, such as GDPR, will also play a role in deciding which features to use. Ultimately, the value of these tools will depend on your company's specific requirements and location. HiBob requires one person for maintenance, though additional admins can be assigned as needed. The system offers various modules, such as the talent model, compensation hub, analytics hub, and hiring model, which may be utilized depending on your company's needs. For a company of around 200 employees, one person is typically sufficient for maintenance, but a second person might be needed if the company grows to around 250 employees. Overall, I rate the solution an eight-point five out of ten.

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

"HiBob integrates with various tools, such as Slack, Jira, and Google Calendar."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the performance management module."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The best features that were working well for us was the Goal Management and Performance Management. They were the most valuable to our organization."
"Flexible with a lot of good features."
"What I like most about SAP SuccessFactors are its recruiting and compensation features."
"I love SAP, and I like SuccessFactors...I think most users prefer SuccessFactors as they become more comfortable with it."
"This solution provides up with an easy way to on/off-board staff, as well as actioning internal transfers."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten...It is a stable solution."
 

Cons

"HiBob isn't as user-friendly for managing contractors, part-time employees, or consultants."
"The back end for the administration and the front end is too overtly complex and it's not aligned with our operations and learning needs."
"SuccessFactors should consider building their best practices around critical industries to help companies become more differentiated in the markets they operate in."
"They should be more user friendly and give us more tools to make it more flexible."
"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 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 would like to see improvement in the initial launch of the product, as it is currently quite slow."
"The Onboarding module must be improved."
"It is not that user-friendly. It can be made more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The cost of SAP SuccessFactors is reasonable."
"We have a yearly license. There are no additional costs."
"The price of the solution depends on too many factors to provide an estimate. However, the price of SAP SuccessFactors is competitive."
"SAP SuccessFactors requires an annual subscription."
"I rate the tool's pricing a seven to eight out of ten."
"It is not expensive because it is a complete suite with a module-based cost."
"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."
"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."
