Improves employees' security awareness, integrates with AD, and user synchronization works well
As we have to report the results of each training to different recipients, it will be very helpful when the reporting system is improved. We would like to create reports for local IT leaders in a different way, more suitable for upper management. We need to have archive functions for older training in order to satisfy requests from local regulators.

"SAP SuccessFactors Learning is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature for us in SAP SuccessFactors is the Performance Management module."
"The solution's most valuable feature is tracking."
"The most valuable features are continuous performance, activities, achievements, objectives for performance appraisal, and development learning."
"Safety is the most robust aspect of this platform."
"The platform's most valuable feature is personalized learning recommendations."
"The best feature of SAP SuccessFactors Learning for me is the assignment profile. It's a rather specific feature, but this is what comes to mind."
"Cloud Solution enables accessing the system from the internet, with no need to be within the company network."
 

Cons

"We would like to create reports for local IT leaders in a different way, more suitable for upper management."
"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 The solution also needs to be modernized because at the moment, it's a little bit outdated. It's old-fashioned, and though it has a data import feature, that's just plain outdated.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."
"The solution should have a more user-friendly dashboard because its current dashboard is not so great."
"There is room for enhancement in their core HR system, Employee Central."
"The flexibility and user-friendliness of the user's front end can be improved."
"I am talking about SAP in general, so there are multiple screens that you have to go through, and it takes some time to get used to it."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning doesn't have a punch-in and punch-out facility."
"The GUI and dashboards are areas in the solution with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The certifications are valid for only six months."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"received very good pricing, as we are also working with the Proofpoint spam appliances."
"I rate the price for SAP SuccessFactors Learning an eight out of ten, with ten being the highest."
"The solution is really cheap."
"My company does have to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. My company considers the solution to be worth its price, but we don't consider it to be a cheap solution."
"The additional costs in the solution are based on usage and in regard to the functionalities or services leveraged."
"The tool's licensing model is very straightforward...You will get the relevant mail from SAP, and accordingly, you have to proceed with the provisioning enablement, after which you can start the configuration."
"The pricing changes and the license amount is quite costly."
"The tool is cheap."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning is an on-premise solution, there is a one-time fee, which will be given by a company during the implementation. Additionally, there are support fees, which are annual."
