    I demo'd some other software and at the time, the other software felt "better" but were way more expensive. Pro Software now does what those other software did, but the price is likely still better.

    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.

    Cons
    Pro Software
    • When we started with them, they were young and were missing quite a few things, that's all rectified now though
    • The things that were missing were sometimes shocking, and they are now working on some of those things
    • Customers don't always love all the security features, but they are necessary so what can you do

    • 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.

    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.

    It was lower cost and as they were a growing company, it allowed them to grow with us. I don't have much else to say about it than that. They've been a good partner, and that's just it, they are a partner, not just a software vendor, at least for us.

    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.

    • There are many areas where we were blind to say tax changes that might be updated within the system
    • There are lots of areas where a more streamlined automated approach hasn't been available
    • In many of those cases, they were corrected however. Some we're still waiting for
