Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have used SAP SuccessFactors more from Analytics point of view, extracting and reporting on data coming from SuccessFactors in SAP Analytics Cloud. Used it mainly for processes around core HR, Onboarding, Learning, and Analytics processes. Data from workforce analytics used for deriving trends in work force management, employee life cycle, compensations etc.

Pros and Cons

Streamlined access to HR data which can be used for deriving insights using SAP Analytics Cloud
End to end and seamless integration with SAP eco system and integration with other Microsoft solutions
Great learning experience for employees on SAP SuccessFactors platform

Implementing some of the complex functionalities need sound learning from the users. It can be overwhelming at times.
Email notifications delay - Post go-live, many users complained about email notifications not coming instantly to their mailboxes. Needed to dig deeper to understand the configuration to get rid of the issue.
Compatibility issues with learning modules on mobile devices

Return on Investment

End to end and seamless integration with other processes increased productivity
Increase in user satisfaction
Custom processes could be implemented eaisly

Ease of Integration

Integration with SAP Analytics Cloud for reporting and visualization is just great. On top of that, organizations HR data could be easily integrated with third party data to generate meaningful insights around HR trends, current sentiments, payroll insights comparing with industry standards. Integration with Microsoft eco system like Outlook etc worked great for our clients.

SAP SuccessFactors Globalization

I wasn't part of the team maintaining compliances for HR functions but knowing SAP's expertise in this area, I have no doubt all the compliance needs, both local as well as global, would be met with the solutions SAP provides.
