Overall Satisfaction with SAP SuccessFactors HCM

we use Rise with SAP and SuccessFactors EC, ECP, PMGM, Compensation, Recruitment, onboarding, Succession Management. At the moment we are ok, the only thing is SSL certificates, we buy it each year. We require option to purchase it for at least next 5 years.

Pros

  • Organization structure for all employees
  • search an employee across the group
  • leave application
  • payroll upgrade with country specific labor laws

Cons

  • complex shift scheduling
  • System utilization report to enhance the system usage across the group
  • email ID for each employee, even for the cleaning and labor staff who does not even know how to use system.
  • SSL certificates updates
  • visibility
  • future planning
  • analytics
  • Single source of information across the group
Reporting still need improvement. HR resources does not use the system and carry on the manual activity. SF does not have such mechanism where we can make analysis and improve the system utilization. It will help us the improve ROI.
we moved from non SAP systems legacy systems to SF.
We activated SAP Joule but still does not have maturity on roles base authorization across the group.
