Overall Satisfaction with SAP SuccessFactors

We use SuccessFactors mainly to manage employee records, which has given us a complete view of what the company looks like, which was difficult before after a series of acquisitions and the fact that we had different ways of tracking these records. We've been able to use SuccessFactors to manage our budget and to plan our headcount in a consistent way.
  • Highly customizable
  • Workflows
  • Core HR
  • Reporting
  • Slow learning curve for new admins
  • Digitalization of workflows
Most of the integrations need help from external partners for their implementation making it time consuming and expensive.
I joined after the implementation had already happened.
These are different solutions for different types of company. SuccessFactors is an enterprise solution, while Hibob is a product more fitting for a startup or a scale up

Do you think SAP SuccessFactors delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with SAP SuccessFactors's feature set?

No

Did SAP SuccessFactors live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of SAP SuccessFactors go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy SAP SuccessFactors again?

Yes

SAP SuccessFactors is a great solution for a company with enough resources (people, time, knowledge and financial) and it requires a certain level of maturity in terms of processes for an implementation to be successful.

A startup, on the other hand, would struggle implementing SuccessFactors as it's not quick and it requires careful planning.
