Overall Satisfaction with SAP SuccessFactors

We use this product for all our HR Software. It is the best buy in the market. If you would like a complete suite with everything, this is highly recommended. We also worked with Workday, but this is a lot better. It has state-of-the-art AI and config options for every company. Also, it is easy to maintain from an admin perspective. UI could be improved even further. Also, it has al the HR functionalities that you need in your company.
  • Compensation
  • Standardization
  • Easy maintenance

  • Configuration options.
  • Standardization
  • Low cost.
  • Good maintenance.
  • Easy to use.
  • RBP
  • API possibilities.
  • Integration capabilities.
With good integration capabilities, there are a lot of standard off-the-shelf APIs available to leverage. This ranges from every module, like learning or EC. You don't have to develop these integrations yourself, but just leverage and configure based on the documentation from SAP. Next to that, you can use an SFTP server for other file transfers inbound and outbound from the system. This gives you great freedom when managing a lot of dependencies between applications.
Tough due to complex organization. The product itself, if kept standard, is really good. In our organization, we have a lot of customization that makes the system harder to implement and the solutions less optimal. If you really want to leverage the product, please use as many standard processes as you can in your organization. If you do this, you will have a smooth implementation.
Far better SuccesFactors. The options here are ay less and less easy to configure. Also, the UI is not that good. Also, no API or any SFTP-like connections are available in this product. Also, admins have to do a lot more work to make sure everything is as easy as in SAP.

Yes

Did SAP SuccessFactors live up to sales and marketing promises?

No

Did implementation of SAP SuccessFactors go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy SAP SuccessFactors again?

Yes

For compensation cycle management, it is really good. You should use it for servicing this need within your company with an easy standardized process. We took a look at workday, but this gives a lot less functionality for a similar price. Also, the localization options are there for nearly every country in the world.
