We rely heavily on compliance training tracking in LMS and use the data to be sent to legal and compliance teams. The business rules that we set up reduce the amount of after-work for these teams significantly and help for a smoother reporting structure.

SAP SuccessFactors: Better than nothing but very expensive for a low ROI for small entities
Score 5 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
It is used across the whole organization. It enables to follow global processes for Talent Management and have one single point of truth around HR data globally.
- user friendly homepage
- recruiting process
- good cloud solution
- poor learning module, not state of the art
- not enough room for flexible solution
- to have a good experience, it is necessary to have all modules which is too expensive for small subsidiaries
- long reaction time to ticket
- Prices are prohibitive, especially licenses strategy for companies under 1000 employees
- Opportunity marketplace is nice but payroll solution/time management could get more priority - Not state of an art solution.
- Comp & Ben module is not state of the art
- SF mobile is not state of the art
- Standard report is really poor
- Recruiting approval process

SAP HCM partially
- Product Features
Integrated solution for different IT systems within the company. (Finance;Production are using SAP too)
We thought that it would be easy to interface SF with current SAP solutions but it is not the case. So, we would give a higher rating to alternatives to SF which are offering better features (like Workday) and would create an interface. At least the product would be sometimes better.
- Third-party professional services
PwC
Yes
The first rollout of talent modules in different phases. The implementation partner helped for the pilot and then, further rollouts are done internally. For employee central, big bang in all countries at the same time with the support of implementation partner.
Change management was a major issue with the implementation
Change management for the Talent Modules was a major issue for the end users.
For EC, change management was an issue for the HR users.
For EC, change management was an issue for the HR users.
- lack of knowledge of implementation partner across SF modules
- changes of consultant within the project
- lack of knowledge of implementation partner for some modules
Yes because we felt it was the only chance to get attention...
