    Nectar is great if you are looking to add ways to recognize individuals, grow culture, and get people to connect. If you have a culture where people are already recognizing each other then Nectar might be redundant. However, if you want to add to or replace daily or monthly management recognition, then Nectar is a great place to start.

    I recommend SAP SuccessFactors HCM to businesses seeking a functional HR solution. It combines various functionalities, including Payroll, workforce planning, talent management, recruitment, and more. It ensures smooth HR processes and, in the same spirit, proper employee engagement. Most businesses would benefit from this tool.

    • It's a well integrated tool and the synchronization between the modules is seamless.
    • We have a good experience with the onboarding.
    • We have a good experience with employee cycle management.
    • There is no match for the SAP payroll system. It takes care of all the legislation, it takes care of all the payroll related activities. So altogether it's a very good tool to work with.

    • I think just overall the configuration can be a little bit hard on the backend user, like myself, knowing which screens to go to. Better documentation on how we configure things would be a great resource for employees in the HR field that are making those backend changes.

    Generally works as it needs to but there is room for improvement. Notifications are an example where they come from different places whereas they should be centralised and standardised. We would love to have time management and award interpretation in SAP SuccessFactors HCM instead of a third party system however the lack of rostering functionality makes this unusable

    Until now we have not had serious availability problems with SuccessFactors, we had Microsoft Active Directory and SSO with ADFS and we had availability problems but because of problems with ADFS, we migrated to Azure AD and with that the availability problems of SuccessFactors because of ADFS went away. The only windows of unavailability that we have had are those that we are communicated to do maintenance and upgrades.

    The performance is very good, the truth is that we have not had serious performance problems, some complex reports may take a little longer, but considering the complexity and the amount of records it is an acceptable time. We have never received a complaint from users regarding page loading speed.

    SAP SuccessFactors has been a easy to implement tool with low risks for a sensitive thing like employee feedback. It provides powerful performance in the backend functionalities, and at the same time a great look and feel for the employees. Totally recommended.

    SAP SuccessFactors is a very user-friendly application, it stacks up very well against competition, such as Oracle PeopleSoft HCM. We selected SAP SuccessFactors because we are already using a lot of other SAP solutions, such as SAP S/4 HANA and SAP Business Technology Platform. It allows us to have single-sign on and one vendor with multiple solutions.
