Likelihood to Recommend With their multiple compensation databases and the ability to quickly navigate and explore market matches, I can trust that the data is accurate and up-to-date and that I can confidently stand behind my recommendations after doing my in-the-box Payfactors work. PayScale is a company that continues to grow and develop by leaps and bounds , so getting onboard with them now is still essentially the ground floor of something incredible.
Read full review SAP Success Factors has a robust framework which makes it an absolute platform for scaling and scaled companies, including the ones of larger sizes. Success Factors is contributing to maintain the data quality and automated workflows. SF had almost automated every single HR process which has removed the manual intervention altogether. It's time consuming to implement so if you're loooking for a quick fix or quick results it may not be for you.
Read full review Pros Real-time market data for the most up-to-date pay bands and ranges Robust internal organizational tools to manage multiple projects and collections of roles Quick Price tool can get a comprehensive compensation pick for a role within seconds.

I have to pull up multiple at once. The ERD and HRMA reports are in totally different formats and they don't have the same parameters to fine-tune matches. To be honest, I look forward to exploring more built-in features in 2024. It is a great program! Read full review The whole software is not user friendly from and admin side. A lot of our problems have stemmed from our implementation partner not having the knowledge and experience we needed. Updates to the system have been made and it’s affected too many entities in our learning module. Settings to previous uploads needed to be changed, the previous settings applied did not work the same, etc. constant updates are needed. Read full review Likelihood to Renew We have put a vast amount of time and effort into our installation- and there is more work to be done, but the system has a lot of benefits that we plan to maximize and optimize in order to generate the greatest value for everyone involved

Read full review Reliability and Availability 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.

We have never received a complaint from users regarding page loading speed.
Read full review Support Rating SuccessFactors Employee Central gets a middle of the road rating from me because of the things it does really well - Training. It falls short with the objectives cascade and visibility amongst my reports. That's what brings it down to a 5. Objectives need to be clear and concise in order to gain buy-in from your reports, and SuccessFactors muddies that by poor delineation between cascaded attributes and my report's objectives. The whole objectives cascade can be reworked.

Read full review Online Training We use SAP Learning, and we like it very much, the topics are updated along with the products, we have access to the SFX customer certifications and we have done them all, in general the SAP learning platform is very good and complete.
Read full review Implementation Rating As we were new with all this, we would greatly appreciate if we had assitance directly from SAP so we can implement the modules with all of its features and best practices. Unfortunately, we notice that the partner left some thing incomplete.
Read full review Alternatives Considered I continue to use both
CompAnalyst and Payfactors simultaneously and they both have many pros and few cons. PayScale seems to have more advanced capabilities and has more robust user-provided tweaking and cutting-edge features. The access to multiple databases is also a major benefit. While the look and feel of Payfactors seems more "21st century" than
CompAnalyst , I have to say that
CompAnalyst has some very intuitive features, like the ability to select many matches, add them to a list, and then export the lot of them in a single Excel file, that I do enjoy and that I don't believe Payfactors can match. That would be one drawback, however this doesn't really affect the end results, which are incredible, it just changes the path to get there a little bit.
