Cost is the major factor as it impacts on the decision making process

Maintain trainings and ensure qualified employees

I really do not have any cons. The software suits out needs.

Implementation, many features, for big teams.

It's complicated to use, not the best UI/UX.
One of the best HRM tool in the software market.

SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite needs certain improvements such as position based permissions, which is currently limited to role based permissions.
Alternatives Considered:
The best software for HR professionals
Comments: My experience was very good, it is just what I received and I cannot complain, I would like it to be better but with the advancement of technologies this may change, those changes I would like to see and allow me to automate everything.
Pros:
The ease of use and its interface is very simple for those who have or not experience with the software
Cons:
I did not find something that I did not like, perhaps scaling the connection with artificial intelligence, it would be ideal to be able to connect all this with automated learning
Valuable tool with continuous feedback being at the heart of it's many capabilities
Comments: Overall it's been a pleasurable experience and the SF Suite has added value to our organization.
Pros:
The most satisfying aspects of the Success Factors suite is the wide-range of capabilities, the focus on enhancing employee engagement, and the ability to provide and track continuous feedback across its talent management and performance evaluation functions.
Cons:
It's cumbersome to customize and deploy- many smaller organizations may need to hire an implementation partner as a result. Additionally, it's mobile version leaves a lot to be desired.
Too Complicated if you do not need an Enterprise Solution
Pros:
It is a solid HCM System if you are a company with subsidiaries and need to connect them all and intend to utilize it as such.
Cons:
The system’s implementation, cost, and overall ease of use leave much to be desired, not to mention the customer service. The cost is particularly exorbitant, making it a poor choice unless you intend to use it as a comprehensive ERP system to connect subsidiaries. Its design is somewhat outdated, functioning more like a relationship database. Upgrades are a slow process, taking years to complete, while other HCM products are rapidly introducing new features to keep pace with technological advancements. Building out this system is a time-consuming process, and by the time it’s ready, newer options have already hit the market. It then takes additional years to integrate these new features. Considering the high implementation and ongoing costs, it would be more prudent to opt for other HCM systems. These alternatives offer similar modules that function effectively, but at a fraction of the cost.

Review for SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite
Pros:
One stop best software for HR that provides amazing employee experiences and manages multiple segments to workforce. It has most advance workforce management features.

Alternatives Considered:
Excellent product
Comments: Excellent experience… ease to use it is very smooth
Pros:
Accessibility and user friendliness.. UI is amazing
Cons:
Nothing much that I have which I don’tLike
Delaval user
Pros:
Easy to use and simple. Android application also works fine.
Cons:
I don't get notifications in my application if, for example, my vacation request is accepted.
Easy way to review performance in big teams
Pros:
It´s great for perfomance review, allows to track objectives and the progress of each of them, at the end of the year your team members reviews themselves and you review them too, so you can easily and objectively have a full year review to share with them
Cons:
The look and feel is kind of old and you have a lot of full page loads when modern software can update part of the content you´re looking
Alternatives Considered:
Adequate ATS Tool
Comments: The product gets the job done at the end of the day but it can be unpredictable most often than not. It's user friendly but also is not expansive enough to be a designed tool to function with increased creativity.
Pros:
The product is user friendly and the ability to perform basic functions works for daily use. The product asthetics are appealing .
Cons:
A lot of areas are in need of improvement. When software updates the next day there are always issues that arise that cause delays in daily tasks. External customers are limited in some user options that should not be restricted.
Good ATS
Pros:
Nice to have SAP integration for this particular industry
Cons:
Could use better user experience design
Horrible UX, hight cost and lacking features (Recruiting module)
Pros:
Nothing compared to modern ATS´s like Ponty, Workable, Teamtailor, GreenHouse etc. A nice "tell" is that during demo videos (created by actual fans/users on Youtube) the product lags and there is pauses every now and then since the pages have to load and you have to wait. Acceptable 10 years ago, not so much in 2018.
Cons:
- Crap UX: Means many clicks = drags down productivity - Setting up processes or adding a step is an actual project. Something that takes less then 2 minutes with any of the systems above - No data visualization (unless extra module is bought). Data is everything! And it´s a really unmodern and slow process to create specific reports (again, a project in itself), and then you get a report where have to take the data and maunally use your own tools to visualize your findings. - This is like a 15 years old recruitment system BUT it´s also expensive and you have to hire extra staff as trainers since the UX is so bad so this ads even more to the total cost. - No built in surveys. For instance if you want to check your candidate experience and such. The list goes on but you get the picture.
SuccessFactors has opportunities to improve
Comments: We had a poor experience with SuccessFactors. I had a similar experience in a past position. So, this poor experience was a repeat. Performance management module required more effort from administrators and managers to set up, write reviews, deliver to staff etc. Support really liked gamification and we didn't create enough about gamification. We cared about giving the right feedback to staff so they can grow and prosper. It appeared that SuccessFactors was competing with Facebook while we wanted it to compete with Gallup. Support and billing from their side needs to improve. When exiting SuccessFactors, we weren't treated well. SAP is in a great position to focus on changing people's emotions about SuccessFactors. I can totally see its potentials. SAP needs to take a different approach with the product and support.
Pros:
The best feature of SuccessFactors was that it was a operationally stable, cloud-native software when competitors were finding their footings with SaaS model and ensuring high availability. SuccessFactors had figured the technology out sooner than competition and our team didn't have to worry about hosting.
Cons:
Modules in SuccessFactors appeared to be scattered and cobbled together inefficiently. It appeared that employee data got copied over to payroll module. Performance data was copied from one year to another. It just seemed like a trailer/mobile home put piecemeal'ed together using plastic, wood, metal, soil and broken wheels from trucks and motorcycles were put underneath the trailer/mobile home, but the paint looked uniform and hid these inefficiencies. SAP has a great opportunity to turn this around since their foundational infrastructure is solid.
Complicated GUI Design
Comments: Success Factors Learning has a complicated graphical user interface and sometimes it's so hard to use. I couldn't find some options easily (especially when I try to filter some kind of trainings) and spends my time. It's design should be changed to make more eye-pleasing.
Pros:
ou can list and reach any kind of training & courses online. It's a good platform to find all kind of learning stuff in a hub
Cons:
Graphical user interface is so complicated. It's hard to use. It should be designed more user-friendly.
Development Idea Is Successfully But User Interface Should Be Developed.
Comments: When you use it for application to one position in a company, you can easily upload your resume, organize it quickly and apply. However some of the modules are not successful enough. i.e. scorecard definition and review screens don't provide a summary that you can see all items together and manage all of them with a check box. In that screen you should click item by item and update all of them manually. Only user interface needs to be updated to increase customer satisfaction.
Pros:
All career items (learning / carrier / scorecard etc.) can be connected to each other.
Cons:
User interface should be developed. It doesn't allow to user to check everything quickly.
Great HR software and for salaries & benefits
Comments: The employee management has improved substantially since Success Factors was implemented in my company. From training management to team management and career development, everything can be done from here, and it's mobile so, I can approve requests and track other things while on the go.
Pros:
I really like that since we are using success in my company, we do almost everything related to career development and benefits and employee management in the solution. We manage our objectives, 360 evaluations, trainings, vacations, vacants and more from success.
Cons:
Sometimes new releases change things in the platform and I have discovered that every now and then we lost some features we had in the past.. but new things appear so is more the benefits than the bad things.
Old Fashioned HCM Program
Comments: It does the job but it does not please you when using it. Also, it does not allow you to create your custom views, custom reports etc.
Pros:
Team status reports are really useful. Vacation plan reports, office hour reports, salary reports and salary change reports.
Cons:
User interface is very old fashioned and navigation within program to find correct functions and features are really hard.
Alternatives Considered:
SAP SuccessFactors HCM - Best cloudbased HCM
Comments:
Talent Management
Payroll
onboarding
performance reviews
Pros:
We use this software for onboarding, Talent Management, performance review and pretty much anything to do with the HR processes including Payroll.
Cons:
The only problem with this is only that this is slightly high in subscription cost.
