Pros

Beamery is a solid ATS system that simplifies the outreach process.
It allows the user to customize a ton of their stages and workflows, to make it highly specific to the company/user's needs.

This software offers us the ability to raise questions during the appraisal cycle, as well as give us an overview of the various steps we follow during the appraisal process and also provides one-stop solutions for all my needs, such as applying for leave and checking salary slips.
The onboarding and hiring process was changed with this tool, and it also generated attendance reports and performance reports for employees.
There are a number of training courses available in the SAP Learning Hub that can help you improve the configuration. If you are familiar with them then you can easily fix it yourself first. Unless something needs to be modified in Provisioning.

Cons

The Chrome Extension could really use some work: very buggy and it's pretty common for candidates that are already in our system to not show up as such in the Extension.
The internal searching features are limited: we have a massive database that is really hard to access.

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.

SAP SuccessFactors 2.7

Based on 13 answers

Support is still lacking. If we don't have a critical business need where we're looking to license something new, there is no partnership with SuccessFactors. Unless of course you purchase the Platinum Support which we did not. It is difficult for us to take advantage of new functionality when we have professional services fees that will be incurred as a result. We're in a tough economy and our budgets are slim. We don't have wiggle room to add $5k here or $10k there. The overall integration into a total HCM solution is also lacking.

You can sometimes get bounced around from person to person. Tickets can take some time to get looked over by Engineering.

The overall platform could use the updates, so the overall look of it seems more modern. Also, the number of possible customizations could be made more simple to implement. SAP SuccessFactors does have a helpline that is helpful and free. On a positive note, it is beneficial in our performance reviews and recruiting efforts.

As a whole, SuccessFactors is tough to beat. It's at its best when all of the modules are working together. There are few competitors that offer the full talent suite.Individually, the quality of the modules can vary. The performance and goal management modules perform well but the recruiting one significantly lags its competitors. The recruiting world has seen a lot of advances in technology over the last few years but these have yet to trickle down into the SuccessFactors module.

Visibility to the organization was an immediate impact and socialized the value of the product immediately.
A common and aggregated performance process reduced time and energy spent on quarterly goal setting.
Consolidating performance to pay outputs reduced time in some manual audit processes.
