SAP SuccessFactors Review
- Ease of use - For the most part the software is intuitive
- Extensibility - Ability to drive more functionality from connection modules and tools
- Continuous development - Progress of development gives confidence to customers that the product will continue to remain relevant
- Consistency - Parts of the system move forward at different speeds, so visual UI can be inconsistent
- ECP - Needs to move to fully cloud based without need for native GUI access
- Configure Business Rules - Needs to move to a modern drag and drop workflow builder style interface to build whole processes. Sharing rules with SMEs doesn’t give them the full appreciation of workflows/calculations/approvals/notifications steps
- Core Data Model
- Business Rules and Workflow
- Recruiting Management
- Guided forms to improve User Experience
- Half year releases
- Strong customer communications through our Exec support
- Support through the expert chat
- High priority tickets support

SAP SuccessFactors Review
- Staff profiles
- Onboarding, including mandatory learning
- Basic LMS package doesnt provide an engaging user experience
- Metrics/analytics function in the LMS is difficult to navigate or provide all data required.
- Skills assessment linking to recommended learning and project opportunities, although this is in development.
Does the basics but not much more.
- Helps with basic data capture and self service for end users.
- The reporting tool is limited—we struggle to produce basic reports such as turnover reports. Some of this may be due to the way the system has been configured.
