    PeopleFluent has eliminated the use of paper reviews. It is also eliminated the use of scanning, emailing or interoffice mail. It is a great tool for communication and I highly recommend it. However, in some ways, the product can be improved. Some processes are tied to each other and could function in tandem. For example, while completing the self-review, the employee has to capture multi-raters. If self-review is submitted without listing multi-rater names then multi-rater review has to be captured separately on paper. In my opinion, these two processes can be different. Multi-raters should be added/removed/modified after submitting self-review.

    SAP Sales Performance Management from Success Factors works great if the incentive calculation is simple. However, if it contains a lot of constraints and filters or is dynamic, it is not friendly to changes or complexity in terms of configuration and time to calculate the incentives. The advantages of using SAP Sales Performance Management are that the process is controlled, the data is in the cloud, and the roles and permissions make it more secure.

    Pros
    PeopleFluent
    • It was very easy to go through resumes, choose the people you wanted to interview and set up the interviews.
    • It is great at keeping track of people that have come through hiring process in the past so you do not waste time on those that have already been declined or are sent in by multiple vendors.
    • The handling of time sheets and expense reports is very easy to manage.

    • Configurable out of the box.
    • Allows for complex compensation rules (Rate tables, MDLTs, etc).
    • Has the ability to build cross-channel (non-hierarchy) relationships. For us, this is very powerful.
    • Can build a large data warehouse of commissionable data.
    • Speed to market can be as fast as minutes.

    Cons
    PeopleFluent
    • The interface is a little confusing. I'm not sure if it's something that can be fixed in implementations, or if it's inherent to PeopleFluent, but there are almost too many tabs asking for too much information. A lot of it can be repetitive as well.
    • Changing your password/resetting your password seems to be nightmarish. It requires an organization ID as well as security questions, and forces you to reset your password far too often. I really dislike that feature.
    • Honestly, PeopleFluent itself looks pretty outdated. I feel as though the entire application really needs a facelift to be more current.

    • Using names to reference payees in the compensation platform, instead of their ID
    • Allow an Advisor to see their compensation as well as how their employees compensation without requiring to proxy
    • Expose all variables within the application to the dashboard, to allow them to be used for data insights, without requiring any extra work.

    PeopleFluent continues to develop an already high quality product and works to continually improve the user experience. The different modules integrate well, and the administrative functions are easy to understand and perform resulting in less time spent with KTLO functions. They provide world class customer service and work hard to keep you engaged as a customer.

    Usability
    PeopleFluent
    PeopleFluent seems to have all the functionality one would need, but it can be a bit overwhelming. Depending on the client implementation, it can be downright confusing and not intuitive. My 6 rating comes from the fact that it seems like the system can be configured to actually be confusing and not make sense. I think a VMS should be set up not to allow a customer to configure it in such a way as to not really work, or to allow users to circumvent steps. I also really don't like the "organization key" that needs to be entered every time you log in. Why is a login and password good enough for 99% of the systems out there, but PeopleFluent requires an extra field?

    My rate is 9 because there is always a way to improve a system. In this case the usability is high but there are some thing that could be improve like usability of report and the payment detail page and also clud be more and more useful is in lookuptable there are some orders or a research tab

    I would rate this ATS system a 9 as there's some room for improvement as mentioned prior. I really love the design and its functionality buttons and the way I can integrate it with other systems. I would really love to see a more detailed reporting metrics long with super candidate filters when searching profiles.

    Its great, its very versatile and stacks up very well against the competition. In terms of usability and ease of use, anyone can quickly learn how to use PeopleFluent. Again, the faults against the system would be when a client who is running the tool customizes it to their liking. Not to mention it's a very popular tool that i have had the pleasure of working in twice now with two different organizations.

    Faster implementation, more user-friendly interface, and lower reliance on IT made Sales Performance Management solutions from SAP SuccessFactors an easy choice over Xactly. SAP's allowance for complex modeling helped us choose it over Varicent. The faster development and high intuitive nature of Sales Performance Management solutions from SAP SuccessFactors also made it a better platform than previous usage of Performio.

    PeopleFluent
    • I do believe that goal setting and the workflow of following up, going through the process yearly is as good as you make it. If you set good goals, or help your team make good goals then the experience can go well. Otherwise it's just another thing that an employee is doing to make their manager happy.
    • I am not sure the cost of the product, but if it is really expensive I am not sure that we are getting fully what we should be for what the product offers. Make sure you are using what is offered.

    • The efficiencies gained by moving from reports and spreadsheet alone has earned us a positive ROI.
    • SAP Commissions speed to the market allows us to quickly and cheaply change our direction to meet market demands.
    • Our sales force's engagement has drastically improved. We are now paying monthly instead of quarterly and have earned their trust.
