SAP SuccessFactors Reviews

SAP SuccessFactors is a human resources solution for businesses, such as workforce planning and analytics.

It can help companies with improving business operations.

The most valuable features of SAP SuccessFactors are onboarding, recruiting, marketing, and performance.

SAP SuccessFactors could improve learning management. The module is desperate and should be included in the primary solution. Additionally, it is missing some business use cases.

I have been using SAP SuccessFactors for approximately six years.

The stability of SAP SuccessFactors is great. I have not had any problems with the system.

The scalability of SAP SuccessFactors is good. We can add extensions to the customer's needs that are not available in the core features. Scalability is possible but some modules have limitations. For example, in Recruiting, I can have a lot of features using business tools, such as building the business role, and NDS meter data framework. However, in Performance, I have a lot of limitations.

I have over 12 customers that are using this solution. We have more customers coming in the near future.

The support from SAP SuccessFactors is good. They were able to solve customer problems regarding integration between modules or some deployments that had issues.

There are a lot of modules and integrations that need to take place while implementing the solution. It is complex to implement. For example, it can be difficult to enable specific groups of users to access certain modules or features.

Once we have the payment from the customer we can deploy the solution in six to eight weeks. This includes all the necessary modules and configurations suitable to the customer's needs.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate SAP SuccessFactors an eight out of ten.

Our use cases are made up of two broad categories. The first one is defining or determining goals and the second focuses on behavior. We carry out self-assessments that are then evaluated and the company evaluates performance this way. I'm a public policy specialist.

The product is easy to use and they've recently developed a new and more user-friendly layout where everything is right in front of you. 

The single problem that needs to be solved is that once you submit a form it cannot be edited. It would be helpful if that were a possibility. If I want to make a change, it means going to the HR department to gain access.  

I've been using this solution for two years. 

SAP is a stable product. 

The solution is scalable, we have 2,000 users. 

The company provides good service and accompanying support.

I rate this solution eight out of 10. 

We are using SAP SuccessFactors for our mandatory training.

SAP SuccessFactors is working on making beneficial changes but they are not fast enough. They can improve by making the improvements or updates quicker. Additionally, the user interface could improve, it is not something you want to return to when compared to a solution similar to Instagram.

I have been using SAP SuccessFactors for approximately three years.

SAP SuccessFactors is a very reliable and stable solution.

The scalability of SAP SuccessFactors is good. They are many modules that we could use. For example, they have the Employee Center module where we can expand our employee information, such as which skills we have and career aspirations.

We have approximately 20,000 employees using this solution in my organization.

We plan to continue to use the solution in the future. We do not have plans in our roadmap to change solutions.

I have not contacted the support from SAP SuccessFactors.

I have previously used Saga People, which is a learning platform. It's not the same as SAP SuccessFactors, it does not bring the same capabilities.

The implementation of SAP SuccessFactors is highly complex.

We are a pharma company and in this domain, it's very important to have mandatory training. All the inside notes and email that has been sent to the employees are very heavy and it's not easy to modify them because it's part of the suite. It is very complex to use. It's not easy to change things and if you would like to change things, we need to wait six months. We can wait for a long time, and if there are not any other customers that need the changes we will not receive priority.

We used a third-party integrator in Israel named AKT for the deployment.

This is a very heavy solution suitable for large companies, but not agile enough for my design needs to bring learning for employees.

I rate SAP SuccessFactors a six out of ten.

SAP SuccessFactors forms a key tool to our Employee Engagement pillar extensively leveraged by our HR function across the Group. Key processes around Employee Self Services, Learning and Development, Performance Goals and appraisals, Career Development, Succession Planning is run on SAP SF

UX, Intuitiveness of the System, Integration with SAP S/4HANA

SAP is heavily invested in bringing new features and functionalities in SAP SuccessFactors with every release. Integration with the core financial and HCM / Payroll systems is very critical. This is the area where SAP can leverage its own product portfolio like S/4HANA and provide a much seamless integration

I have been using SAP SuccessFactors for approximately four years.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I have found SAP SuccessFactors to be stable.

SAP SuccessFactors is a scalable solution.

We have 5,500+ employees using this solution in my organization.

We have had large-scale implementations of SAP SuccessFactors. The implementation is neither easy nor very difficult. If it's done right it can be easy and seamless but there's quite a lot of effort that is required. You need experts to do it.

The implementation lifecycle can be further reduced.

You require experts to be able to implement this solution.

An average 4-8 certified Consultants support with the Business as Usual activities

SAP SuccessFactors requires an annual subscription.

I rate SAP SuccessFactors an eight out of ten.

We use the solution for everything except payroll and time off. The solution is deployed on cloud.

The performance and goal management is good, and it has a fairly detailed employee central.

The integration between the recruitment module and employee central is a big problem.

With WFA, People Analytic, and SAC, the confusion that we have now is regarding  what should be used and what should not be used, which is a big problem.

For me, analytics is a big gray area in SuccessFactors. A person like me would want a tool like Power BI to be integrable to SuccessFactors in a way that I'm able to derive analytics and reporting the way I want to, and not get enrolled into three or four solutions.

I would rather have a direct connector into a good BI tool, like Power BI, and derive whatever I want from there, which of course, is not there. There are no inbuilt connectors for that.

The different ways people use analytics shouldn't be guided by the way the software is structured, or the way an ERP is structured.

I have been using this solution for three and a half years.

The solution is stable and predictable.

I have never had a problem with scalability. We have more than 3,000 users in our organization. Internally, we have a couple of people who manage the solution and do maintenance. For anything major, we use the integrator.

On a scale of 1 to 5, I would give technical support a 4.

Initial setup was not very complex. If you're looking at an ERP sort of a solution, there is complexity with the way you want to define your organization. If the organization is clear about that, in terms of business unit, division, function, departments, the way you want to structure your organization, then it is not a problem. But if that is not clear, then of course, it is an issue.

We used an integrator.

We have a yearly license. There are no additional costs.

I have also used Workday and Darwinbox. I prefer Workday because I found it to be better in terms of integration, data integration, management of data, and workflows.

I would rate this solution 7 out of 10.

The next version takes care of lots of things that I have mentioned, but since I haven't used the next version, I would rate it a seven.

The primary use case is for the company's human resources.

There is room for improvement in licensing model. It is very expensive.

It is a stable solution. 

It is a scalable solution. Approximately 1,000 users are currently using SAP SuccessFactors.

The initial setup is complicated. 

The IT department mainly handles the deployment and implementation.

It is expensive. I would rate it a two out of ten. 

Overall, I would rate the solution a five out of ten. 

I am using SAP SuccessFactors performance management for documentation.

The most valuable feature of SAP SuccessFactors is analytics.

The price of the solution could improve, it is too high.

I used SAP SuccessFactors within the last 12 months.

SAP SuccessFactors is stable.

I have not used the support from the vendor.

The initial setup of SAP SuccessFactors is easy.

We have not seen a return on investment.

The price of the solution is highly expensive.

I would recommend the solution to others, but the price is too high.

I rate SAP SuccessFactors a six out of ten.

We use SuccessFactors for HR and administrative services, including payroll, hiring, promotions, resignations, etc.  It covers all the everyday functions of the employee life cycle.

SuccessFactors feels rigid. It should be more streamlined. Also, the interface design is outdated and needs an upgrade. 

I have used SuccessFactors for four or five years.

I rate SuccessFactors eight out of 10 for stability. 

I rate SuccessFactors six out of 10 for scalability. It covers about 2,000 to 3,000 employees at our company. 

I rate SAP SuccessFactors six out of 10.
