ActivTrak vs SAP SuccessFactors

• The alarms feature is wonderful. In the past, we have had employees save company files to an external device and we had no idea. Having the ability to trigger an alarm and capture screenshots when this occurs is extremely helpful.
• The analytics provide a good bit of insight. For example, we have an employee who wasn't getting any work done, because he was constantly evaluating software that would make his job easier. We were easily able to see what he was spending his time on by using reports as well as looking at the dashboard where you are able to view a breakdown of categories.
• Screen capturing is extremely beneficial. Instead of trying to piece a puzzle together, you can simply view the screenshot.

• Agent sometimes stops reporting for no apparent reason, causing discrepancies of data.
• There is no information about software limitations or restrictions, we found out that the agent doesn't work on older versions of MAC OS.
• Uninstalling agent from a machine sometimes does not cause it to stop showing as a user on the list, it just stops it from reporting data

• The app for ios and android have room for improvement. They are aware of the limitations but amount of access and functionality is not where it needs to be.
• The homepage of Successfactors takes longer to load and refresh itself. Especially true when viewing employee files. That is partially due to how much information is having to show on the page but it still seems to take more time than usual to show each screen.
• You can't change the amount of time the homepage will lock you out from inactivity. This might seem minuscule but it causes so many painful re-logins and time wasting effort to login again. There currently isn't an option to change the time before lockout.

• Positive: Employees are reminded if websites are not business related, helps keep them focused.
• Positive: When reviews come down, it is easier to quantify their place within the firm.
• Negative: Employees find this to be a negative move on the part of management. Sort of "Big Brother". We negate this by reminding them that its a reactive tool, not proactive.
