Its scope is wider in talent acquisition and retention, learning and development management, performance management and succession planning, workforce deployment, and payroll benefits. It streamlines the recruitment process and onboarding. It helps improve employee engagement and satisfaction. The skill and knowledge gap is required through training management tools. It facilitates goal setting, performance review, and aligning individual performance with organizational objectives.

Cons
- Have more options for customisation when it comes to new and universal deployments
- Have a greater window for half yearly releases.

SAP SuccessFactors is primarily used for time off tracking and planning, performance metrics and goals, our organizational chart, and as a hub to link employees to other relevant information. Overall most users log in rarely, with their primary goals being time off requests. Goals are becoming more utilized.
- Time off tracking
- Time off planning
- Goal structure flexibility
Cons
- Overall UI is extremely dated and clunky on some pages
- Time off calculations can be confusing to new users
- Goals can be clunky to learn to use well with milestones/updates

We are a full suite organization. We are currently experiencing problems with onboarding rehires and converting contingent workers over to regular employees. Currently, the system will not allow for rehire with old employment history. Also, the system will not allow for you to keep the contingent worker employee number, you have to generate a new one then merge the training records.

As a large partner of SAP, our organization relies on SuccessFactors to support many aspects of the employee needs: recruiting, learning, performance, time & attendance, etc. across our NA region. Having a suite of products and modules from one vendor makes the experience seamless for employees and administrators. A suite of products from a single vendor is advantageous in large organizations.
- Seamless workflow from module to module for easy navigation and ease of understanding
- The Learning module can handle complex learning events as well as simple web-based standalone training
- Performance and Learning are natively linked to ensure flow
Cons
- While the CSS can be manipulated, the overall white labeling abilities are limited along with the ability to truly customize the experience easily.
- Reporting functionality is outdated and any attempt to create customized dashboards requires SQL programming knowledge -- not a typical skillset found on most L&D or HR teams.
- In my experience, search functionality is frustrating for end-users even with full, clean data on the learning objects.

We use SuccessFactors for our core HR as well as learning, performance, and goals, as well as our recruiting, onboarding, anything from an employee front. It is really the core of our HR processes and where employees go to utilize their actionable strategies.
- I think the integration between the various modules is what it does best. So we use recruiting, onboarding and employee central, so that makes the process seamless from beginning to end when we're bringing new employees on and they're seeing the product in the onboarding phase as well as in the employee stage when they're hired.
Cons
- 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.

SAP Success Factors is the foundational human capital management system that we use. So pretty much everything that is HR function related, that has to be an outcome or from the HR function is managed through SuccessFactors. Of course, we have a lot of other HR technologies, but they are all stacked on this foundational at CM. So SuccessFactors pretty much is the foundation for the house that we built for the HR technologies tech stack.
- I think performance goals is a very strong module that they have. The core EC module is great.
- I would say optimal employee experience with SuccessFactors as an HCM. It is one of the top three HCM providers, so the roadmaps are pretty strong. If you think about the kind of engagement we have with SuccessFactors, I think we are leveraging a lot of the offerings that SuccessFactors has through the preferred success engagement that we have with them. So a lot of consultants, the solution adoption success checks, we are using a lot of those things that SuccessFactors offers. And I think, like I said, it's a foundational HR technology. One of the key things I think is important for us to have strong integrations with our broader ERP solution, which is SAP. So I think that's one of the big reasons why SAP SuccessFactor fits so well in the tech stack that can invest.
Cons
- I think the features, the modules that we have licensed but not adopted because of employee and user experience feedback. We haven't used mentoring. It's a bolt-on for something with development and performance and goals modules. We have not used mentoring.
- I think the EC service center needs a facelift. It's the case management system that we have invested in, but I don't think we are able to use it to the potential that we wanted to deliver on.
- I also think workforce analytics and stories, I mean stories is a great addition, but I think just getting started with it and building the initial few reports is kind of getting us becoming a struggle for us. So I think these are some of the things that I could think of at the top of my head.

We have various uses of SAP SuccessFactors, a big one is recruiting. Some problems we face primarily are in the reporting department or being able to enter data for past dates without having to delete later data.
- They treat their customers extremely well
- There is a diverse offering of products
- There is a great amount of work being completed in the AI space
