  • The entire employee details are stored in SuccessFactors HCM in a detailed and precise form, such as manager details /skill matrix /Location /Talent profile /Salary profile, which can be used for ready reference as per requirement.
  • Important documents such as salary statement can be easily exported to PDF.
  • All e-learning is done through SuccessFactors. We are notified if the manager has assigned learning and continuously notified until it is complete.
Cons
  • I only find the UI to be a bit slow and not very responsive the loading time is a bit on the higher side.

SAP SuccessFactors - great Employee Central platform!

  • 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 SuccessFactors is great from a user perspective

  • Position Management
  • Mass system action
  • ease of use from an employee perspective (time off, updating personal information)
Cons
  • Internal document management tool outside of use of vendor
  • ability to perform mass changes without the use of an import from employees with higher level of access
