Chose SAP SuccessFactors HCM
more ability for customization and fit for purpose
Chose SAP SuccessFactors HCM
The comparison of Workday and SuccessFactors was close, however the wider non-UK Payroll options available with SuccessFactors was one of the major contributing factors.
Chose SAP SuccessFactors HCM
SAP SuccessFactors HCM is better. No need for a third party payroll provider (we are in a market that’s not served by Workday Payroll)
Chose SAP SuccessFactors HCM
Workday in my view is more user friendly however lacks the depth of functionality you need for real business. SAP is far stronger on configuration options, integration and overall connectivity. It is also now leading on the forefront of AI innovation which will massively …
Chose SAP SuccessFactors HCM
I like that SAP SuccessFactors HCM is a cloud-based on-premises application
Chose SAP SuccessFactors HCM
SAP SuccessFactors HCM has more options and integrations than Cipher
Chose SAP SuccessFactors HCM
SAP SuccessFactors HCM is much easier to use then SAP HCM where I used to work in the config and an end user. User interface is friendly, no need to remember infotypes and you can test easier in SF
Chose SAP SuccessFactors HCM
Great for producing training material
Chose SAP SuccessFactors HCM
SF is a much more complex application than Workday and has more overhead. Workday has less functionality but is easier to maintain. I think it depends on the size of your organization and the support budget on which to choose.
Chose SAP SuccessFactors HCM
SAP SuccessFactors HCM is easier and allows us to combine our performance evaluations into our HR processes which workday does not enable.
Chose SAP SuccessFactors HCM
Meets expectations, there are some pain points. But overall. Works well.
Chose SAP SuccessFactors HCM
SAP SuccessFactors HCM is comparable to other platforms, although Glint and Lattice are more visually appealing and encourage employees to complete one or two questions at a time rather than overwhelm them with a number of tasks at the same time.
Chose SAP SuccessFactors HCM
I have no experienced other than SAP SuccessFactors HCM.
Chose SAP SuccessFactors HCM
SAP SuccessFactors HCM is a different type of product, these other products help us without our daily jobs and are just as necessary, however SAP SuccessFactors HCM is a great product that is just as necessary to find the right people for the job.

Pros
SAP
  • 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
SAP
  • 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.

It is the product that the Business is fully committed to for co-ordinately HR processes. Employee and Manage Self-Service has allow our business to reduce the overheads in our HR operating mode. The integration with 3rd party products is now in place and further developments will only increase its importance. SuccessFactors provide regular enhancements and has a support model in line with our business requirements.

Usability
SAP
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

Reliability and Availability
SAP
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.

Performance
SAP
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.

Alternatives Considered
SAP
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.
