PerformancePro vs. SAP SuccessFactors

Useful in a wide range of performance management-based situations. Allows options like supervisor and peer feedback, as well as messaging and addition of notes to profiles and appraisals. Allows for uploading of external documents as well as creation PerformancePro-specific documents. We have used the system for both bi-annual and annual appraisals, and both cycles worked well. If your organization keeps performance-based records in another system or file structure, you might not utilize many of the options PerformancePro has, which could lead to it feeling underutilized.

For compensation cycle management, it is really good. You should use it for servicing this need within your company with an easy standardized process. We took a look at workday, but this gives a lot less functionality for a similar price. Also, the localization options are there for nearly every country in the world.

• Customization - allows employers to edit language throughout the review process to reflect company terminology.
• Automation - automatic emails and reminders for every step of the appraisal process. Saves time by reducing human follow-up at various points.

• Streamlined access to HR data which can be used for deriving insights using SAP Analytics Cloud
• End to end and seamless integration with SAP eco system and integration with other Microsoft solutions
• Great learning experience for employees on SAP SuccessFactors platform

• Interface - user interface could be updated to a more modern feel. Home screen (with widgets) feels somewhat cramped and widget displays could be more fully optimized.
• Admin functions - Robust options, but the display of company edit pages is somewhat busy, and functions are sometimes buried under multiple pages of access.

• Like many SAAS solutions, SuccessFactors sometimes loads very slowly, crashes, hangs
• Sometimes it Takes Long Time to Create Forms/Records ('Forms' could be anything you are creating)
• Although we can connect SuccessFactors to SAP Analytics Cloud, the standard content from SAP is very basic and not much useful, we have to develop more useful custom Dashboards that visualize the true essence of Analytics.

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

For Key users, it is not really friendly. There are lot of hidden buttons which makes the experience difficult. For end user, it is quite easy.

SAP SuccessFactors is absolutely available when we needed, not a lot of downtime.

It is pretty slow in some cases, and annoying to admins.

In both chat and phone support, representatives have always been helpful and ready to offer assistance with any question or concern. Over the course of five years, there have been a few occasions when follow-up was assured but did not happen (or did not happen in a timely manner.) But much more frequently, support has been quick to follow-up and provide information as promised.

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.

We believe that all top global providers that complete with SAP, are in the same level in terms of the main functionalities for supporting HR processes. SAP seemed to be more robust on each process, and more consistent when considering best practices applied to their modules. It may be hard to use sometimes, but it certainly has good answers to support a wide variety of scenarios and specific business needs
