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.

Plenty of modules, useful bulk transfers, and scales well
I used SAP SuccessFactors prior to ZingHR. The main difference between ZingHR and SAP SuccessFactors is SAP SuccessFactors has a huge, dynamic UI. Admins have more control over fields, access, and permissions. Additionally, if the administrators are experienced they can make more customization within the system themselves. They do not need to approach the company or consultant. However, ask for the company to make necessary field corrections, or make certain changes for us. SAP SuccessFactors is not a perfect solution either, it has room for improvement. They are missing payroll as part of the core modules, you have to purchase it separately which can add to more costs. I prefer SAP SuccessFactors because it is good overall, dynamic, and it is evolving every quarter, every six months.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SAP SuccessFactors is stable, we have not found any bugs or glitches."
"Provides an open architecture and an open platform so it can coexist with other systems."
"There are a lot of features in SuccessFactors that HR can actually explore. We recently implemented a learning platform that employs the individual staff to actually manage their own learning."
"One of the most wonderful features is the ability to customize the modules and workflows. So far, we've done a fair bit of customization and it is helping us a lot and really adds to the value we already get from SuccessFactors."
"The solution is very intuitive. Many of the things we need to do are easily accessible."
"All of SuccessFactors' features are useful, but there are several modules within SuccessFactors that I find handy. You have Employee Central, which manages employee records within the system. It manages all the information about an employee, including names, addresses, account numbers, positions, org charts, etc. It also handles performance reviews and KPIs for employees within an organization. Then you have succession planning and development as well."
"Flexible with a lot of good features."
"I love SAP, and I like SuccessFactors...I think most users prefer SuccessFactors as they become more comfortable with it."
"The solution is a cloud HRMS, which makes it a self-sufficient model. You can do a lot of things without taking anybody's help."
"The most valuable feature of ZingHR is the data bulk uploading and downloading."
 

Cons

"We would like to see improvement in the initial launch of the product, as it is currently quite slow."
"SuccessFactors feels rigid. It should be more streamlined. Also, the interface design is outdated and needs an upgrade."
"Everything, including the provisioning dependency, should be moved to the instance, and coding should be kept to a minimum. Wherever possible, coding should be minimized, and everything should be a drag-and-drop."
"The complete integration process between SuccessFactors modules is not at the level that all customers expect when it comes to complete HR user experience from all angles."
"SAP should also look into easily integrating with other applications or other tools. Technology has changed now, and it should be easier for any application to integrate with other apps. There needs to be more flexibility."
"I find that the website sometimes has problems loading, but I'm unsure if it's an issue with SuccessFactors. After the login, there are some connection issues. We get some errors telling us that it cannot connect to the host."
"There is not much scope for enhancements, personalization, or customization with the cloud-based variant of this solution, which could be improved."
"SAP SuccessFactors can improve the recruitment module and artificial intelligence features. More powerful analytics are needed."
"ZingHR could improve by giving administration users from the front end the ability to make corrections. I am having to do the bulk corrections from an Excel upload from the system."
"ZingHR is not flexible and needs to improve offline support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is not cheap, but it is reasonable."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing a seven to eight out of ten."
"The pricing for SuccessFactors is ridiculously high, and there are costs in addition to the license fee for some features."
"It could be cheaper."
"We don't utilize even half of the licenses because not everyone uses them. With SAP SuccessFactors, though, we're now conducting all our performance evaluations within the system, so I suppose we're making better use of those licenses. As for SAP for employee services and internal benefits processing, we do have licenses for those but don't utilize them."
"The solution is on the expensive side but is definitely worth the money."
"ZingHR is not expensive."
"ZingHR is a less expensive solution than others, such as SAP SuccessFactors."
