We've been able to bring all payroll functions back in-house, although the implementation online training classes were slow.
The report feature has been a valuable asset for us. Kronos has many canned reports and we have found that they meet our needs. Our employees enjoy the employee self-service for access to their information. We were seeking a product that all functions could interface and Kronos has done that for…

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

"It's really easy to use and has a simple interface."
"The most valuable features of the solution are GUI and OData API."
"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 most valuable feature of SAP SuccessFactors is analytics."
"They have succeeded in sustaining a powerful system supporting their philosophy."
"The most valuable feature of SAP SuccessFactors is that it is a full suite of applications to enable your employees. Additionally, it has good integration with S4 HANA. Our payroll solution is from SAP and the integration becomes much easier when using SAP SuccessFactors."
"SAP SuccessFactors is a very reliable and stable solution."
"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."
"Talent Acquisition and Learning features are best in class."
 

Cons

"The networking could use improvement."
"There's room for improvement in SAP SuccessFactors, particularly in terms of innovation. I'd like more flexibility in its functionality and more customization. In terms of what additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of the product, it depends on the module because you have various modules in SAP SuccessFactors, so it's easier to go module by module and understand what features you have in each module. The product has a lot of features coming up, but the product being more mobile, or having mobile features would be nice."
"It's a bit complicated to make a change in the tool... It is time-consuming."
"SAP SuccessFactors can improve the recruitment module and artificial intelligence features. More powerful analytics are needed."
"The reporting tool is not as good as IBM Cognos which is very, very powerful."
"The reporting and cloud integration could be done better in this solution."
"SAP SuccessFactors needs to improve the LMS and performance management."
"LMS, Learning Management Systems, needs improvement because there were some stability problems."
"The Onboarding module must be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is expensive."
"The pricing for SuccessFactors is ridiculously high, and there are costs in addition to the license fee for some features."
"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."
"The price of the solution is highly expensive."
"I don't want to comment on the license cost, to be honest. It could be about $1,000 approximately per customer. However, it's very flexible in terms of the licensing costs depending on the volume and depending on the deal of installation."
"The solution is on the expensive side but is definitely worth the money."
"I rate the tool's pricing a seven to eight out of ten."
"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."
