Overall Satisfaction with SAP SuccessFactors

I currently utilize it for personal changes, managing teams, learning, as well as determining how to connect different HR capabilities for a broader roadmap.
  • One stop shop
  • Simple UX
  • Centralized governance of data
  • Integrations to other tools seem difficult. Even our replication to SAP on premises is very challenging right now.
  • Some evolving needs we require, such as Pronouns or other details needed within a large retail environment, seem to take long to implement.
  • The ability to centralize data doesn’t seem as easy. Perhaps it would be good to help our teams understand the best way to centralize our data and reporting needs.
  • We have transferred more tasks to the business.
  • Though we still have issues for error management of employee transfers.
The governance of our data has made integration hard.
I have not explored it.
Relatively similar. But it really just depends on how we implement it and the processes surrounding the system itself.

Using SAP SuccessFactors

It's fine from a front facing perspective. It is a bit more challenging from a COE perspective.
