SAP SuccessFactors Review
- I think this product, once you have multiple modules, what we're learning is (and one of the reasons why we're expanding our use of SAP SuccessFactors) its connectivity in the way it speaks and shares information in itself in the system. That allows us to share information easily across our organization with our business partners, with our other HR professionals, and with our employees.
- I think it's a very user-friendly product as well.
SAP SuccessFactors integrates well with external vendor APIs.
- Integrates well with active directory
- Integrates well with external vendor APIs
SAP SuccessFactors Review
- I think the integration between the various modules is what it does best. So we use recruiting, onboarding and employee central, so that makes the process seamless from beginning to end when we're bringing new employees on and they're seeing the product in the onboarding phase as well as in the employee stage when they're hired.
SAP SuccessFactors Review
- Analytics and the tracking of the people and the ease to put information into the system for us to do our reporting, demographics, everything that we need.
- It also helps us with all of our government required regulations in all the countries that we do business.
SAP SuccessFactors Review
- Ease of use. There's been some changes in the past year or two, which I really like the way the platform is now. More the icons, it's much more easy to find. Users are able to use it more effectively by themselves and they don't need me to actually handhold them anymore. Used to be where I'd have to really walk through the steps with them. Now with the new icons and the new drill downs, they can use it by themselves.
SAP SuccessFactors Review
- I think performance goals is a very strong module that they have. The core EC module is great.
- I would say optimal employee experience with SuccessFactors as an HCM. It is one of the top three HCM providers, so the roadmaps are pretty strong. If you think about the kind of engagement we have with SuccessFactors, I think we are leveraging a lot of the offerings that SuccessFactors has through the preferred success engagement that we have with them. So a lot of consultants, the solution adoption success checks, we are using a lot of those things that SuccessFactors offers. And I think, like I said, it's a foundational HR technology. One of the key things I think is important for us to have strong integrations with our broader ERP solution, which is SAP. So I think that's one of the big reasons why SAP SuccessFactor fits so well in the tech stack that can invest.
