We use success factors as an HRMS portal, tracking various performance and peer reviews. Also, for enabling employee access to various org-wide policy documents, leave management, and org charts, amongst other things. We've had a very good experience since we switched to success factors, as it is really helpful in streamlining our performance feedback journey. We can take feedback from various peers and stakeholders easily. All of the related information is readily available for everyone, reducing the load on HR.
  • Org. charts.
  • Performance feedback.
  • Access to org policies.
It's a good product for taking performance reviews. We have a multi-layered feedback process where we need to take into account feedback from various leaders, Cross-functional heads, and even our peers in and out of the team.

Provide a comphreensive and a seamless user experience, responding to employee needs, improving engagement and HR processes efficiency. Our scope is the typical Hire to retire and Train and Develop. Having a single system covering the most important HR processes is very important for us as it reduces our TCO and lowers complexity in our Technical landscape.
  • Worflows and approvals
  • Self-service capabilities
  • easy to use
  • Attractive user interface
  • Many out of the box integration options to SAP and non-SAP systems
Successfactors is more user-friendly and intuitive than its legacy on-prem SAP HCM.
Less complexity to manage as the infrastructure is not manage internally but by SAP instead.
Consistent performance and stability when comparing to on-prem.
On the other hand the customization capabilities are limited and not all countries have payroll support

SAP SuccessFactors is used as an HRMS at my organization. It solves multiple business problems like employee records, workflow management, leave management, learning and development, compensation and benefits, attendance management, taxation related modules, HR policies, employee benefits like insurance, employee letters, goals and KRA's setting and much more which aids organisations manage their employee related activities.
  • It is a comprehensive HRMS tool which helps manage employee related activities more efficiently and effectively
  • Downtime is not too frequent which helps in providing superior employee experience
  • Its UI has gotten better as compared to what it used to be previously
SAP SuccessFactors is well suited for small to medium business organisations, in my opinion. It solves the purpose of being a strong yet reliable HRMS tool as it comes from the house of SAP. It gives your organisation the edge to manage employee related activities in a more synchronised manner. Large scale organisations do have an option to look at other available options as well because SAP SuccessFactors is not the best product in the market.

We use SAP SuccessFactors to streamline our recruitment process and Learning and Development department. It helps in the hiring process and makes candidate selection procedures efficient, also helpful in performance review to ensure the achievement of goals and from Learning and Development point it helps to track the learning progress and skills gaps.
  • We can create curated workflow for different hiring processes
  • It has a very good content management capability for learning
  • We can track metrics for variety of work
Well Suited: For Hiring process it is well suited to manage multiple job position, interview scheduling also application tracking. For skills enhancement it provides comprehensive learning content management.
Less Appropriate: For small companies i do not feel it will add much value, it might overwhelming for them. Some companies required high level customization, they might face limitation with it.

We are using SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central module at The Bank of London. Main use cases are time off and absence management and workflows, displaying employee Human Resource-related details, such as employee address, communication and compensation details, displaying organizational chart, company directory and additional company information within the bank and as a central employee-oriented tool with related dashboards.
  • Visualizing organisational structure in terms of hierarchy
  • User-friendly dashboards across different employee and company-related tiles
  • Workflow functionality, for example for time off approval, integrated with Outlook email
SAP SuccessFactors is well suited for what we are using it at The Bank of London - Employee Central functions, ranging from showing employee organisational structure, to showing company supporting data, to time management and approval workflows, integrated with Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Active Directory to enable Single Sign-on of the application.

SAP SuccessFactors is used company-wide (globally). It has replaced a number of local systems and assisted us with globalization. We manage employee records and headcount in the system, offer management reports, and even connect the system to our BI. A few months later we deployed the Performance module and later on the Compensation. This gives us a full cycle of main HR activities. We will soon implement Position Management. However, we have not chosen to use Recruitment and Onboarding modules.
  • Headcount report
  • Employee records
[In my opinion,] everything with SAP is complicated and they don't give the client complete independence. [From my experience,] they give full provision only to partners, which bind you to them, so you cannot run on your own even if you are certified and capable. [I feel] the UX is terrible and the reports are poor. We had to connect the system to our BI. Since the API is complex the ETL often crashes. [In my opinion,] it's a heavy maintenance system for RnR and Permissions. Due to minimal local resources, implementation prices are high, even when the job is offshored to India.

SAP SuccessFactors is primarily used for time off tracking and planning, performance metrics and goals, our organizational chart, and as a hub to link employees to other relevant information. Overall most users log in rarely, with their primary goals being time off requests. Goals are becoming more utilized.
  • Time off tracking
  • Time off planning
  • Goal structure flexibility
SAP SuccessFactors isn't the worst or best method I've seen for PTO tracking and performance, but it does perform well enough. If you're using a spreadsheet system of any kind this would be a huge step up. If you have an intuitive system already in place, it's likely not worth the change. The complaints I have are frankly minimal and surface-level, but they do exist.

It makes it easier for me to connect with Human Resources for any management I need from them. It is a very useful tool within the company to maintain more effective communication and carry out processes with better monitoring. I can also better manage data and processes, being more fluid. and better organization.
  • better communication with human resources
  • better organized and detailed processes
  • there is improved monitoring of employee performance
Daily communication with human resources is easier and less appropriate is having more extensive training by customer service where they explain it to you in a better way and for more hours.

We are a full suite organization. We are currently experiencing problems with onboarding rehires and converting contingent workers over to regular employees. Currently, the system will not allow for rehire with old employment history. Also, the system will not allow for you to keep the contingent worker employee number, you have to generate a new one then merge the training records.
  • Full Suite
  • Customer Support
SAP SuccessFactors offers a full suite and allows for employee self service and manager self service. A lot of companies are moving in that direction and SAP SuccessFactors seems to be ahead of the technology curve compared to other HR Systems.

As a large partner of SAP, our organization relies on SuccessFactors to support many aspects of the employee needs: recruiting, learning, performance, time & attendance, etc. across our NA region. Having a suite of products and modules from one vendor makes the experience seamless for employees and administrators. A suite of products from a single vendor is advantageous in large organizations.
  • Seamless workflow from module to module for easy navigation and ease of understanding
  • The Learning module can handle complex learning events as well as simple web-based standalone training
  • Performance and Learning are natively linked to ensure flow
SuccessFactors is well suited for organizations looking to host a myriad of their people-related services under one service umbrella. But, as the old adage goes, "jack of all trades, master of none." In my opinion, SAP SuccessFactors is not outstanding in any particular area. Its competence in a great number of areas/modules is worth noting and its ability to handle complex scenarios, use cases, and requirements is important to organizations with equally high complexity; however, this isn't the technology Millennials, Gen Z, and younger employees are going to be impressed by.

We use this product for a wide variety of tasks from applicant tracking, obviously recruiting, and onboarding all the way to performance, and managing the performance management system in our organization. Also, the succession planning process in our organization and the training and development programs in our organization. We are also getting ready to launch EC, which means it also manages the whole HR record-keeping system for our company and payroll.
  • 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.
It's well suited. I could think of a number of things, I guess for the way that I use it most. It's really well-suited as an applicant tracking system. The way you can track activity of applicants and communicate with them is really seamless. I don't know that it's less appropriate in any regard.

  • Integrates well with external vendor APIs
SAP SuccessFactors integrates with active directory and other external vendors in a simple and standard approach. This level of detail from the active directory helps us to build proper assignments profiles to target our training to certain groups. It has much of the information needed. If there are issues in integration, the support team has been great to help troubleshoot.

We use SuccessFactors for our core HR as well as learning, performance, and goals, as well as our recruiting, onboarding, anything from an employee front. It is really the core of our HR processes and where employees go to utilize their actionable strategies.
  • 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.
This product is well suited for our performance and employee management space, so just being able to quickly enter and manage employee data is useful for us. It's efficient, it's easy to make changes for employees. That's the biggest feedback I've gotten.

Due to the size of our company and the complexity of us being a global company, this system helps us keep track of our people, keep all the pertinent information that we need for our people, and also helps us manage growth and development.
  • 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.
Where it's well suited for our organization, since we are global and have so many different employees in different areas, it is well suited for us because we have a centrally located HR department in the US that helps manage global, so it works really well for us. The structure and the ability that we have to get the data and analytics in there for our employees. Where we're struggling a little bit is with translations, so if we had a better way to translate some of the content for the learning system, we can get the pages translated. A lot of stuff is simplified through SuccessFactors, but it'd be better if there was some Google Translate or something on there that if you created a custom field, it would translate in the languages you select.

I use this product to support talent development in both performance management and goal setting. I also use it for succession planning and learning and development. So I will take my e-learnings on it, show other users how to use LinkedIn Learning (that's an add-on to it) as well as taking any yearly e-learnings that we have to take. I also show people how to use it to set up their goals for the year, how to make sure your quarterly goals are inputted into it as well as we use it for our performance management. We use it for annual calibration. It's a resource for leaders as well as team members. It's also a resource for me when I am entering information for succession planning. We are now starting on a company-wide succession planning for each leader in our company.
  • 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.
When we're doing goal setting with our organization, it's very easy to pick a library from the library to pick our goals and to have people pre-select what goals are there and if there's a pre-selected goal, as well as add their own goals. I also like when the performance management system, they have a new tool now that is the AI generator for when you're doing performance management and giving somebody their evaluation. Everything doesn't have to come from you. They have specific areas now where it's written out, I forget what it's called, but it's a script that's pretty you can select.

SAP Success Factors is the foundational human capital management system that we use. So pretty much everything that is HR function related, that has to be an outcome or from the HR function is managed through SuccessFactors. Of course, we have a lot of other HR technologies, but they are all stacked on this foundational at CM. So SuccessFactors pretty much is the foundation for the house that we built for the HR technologies tech stack.
  • 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.
I think if the broader ERP of an organization is SAP, SuccessFactors definitely is the way to go. If you're a global organization with multiple requirements, I think the agility of the core ECS is kind of good. So I think it has to be a broader tech strategy based on which you make the decision about whether this product is a fit for an organization. The recent investments in AI enablement would be something to watch out for. I think all the other more nimble, agile organizations are doing it much faster and better. So I think there is opportunity for more rollouts and more support for the customers to have that trust in the new technology and then continue to build that capability.

We use SAP SuccessFactors in our organization in many different ways. For example, we have the PM/GM, LMS, Succession, Mentoring, etc modules.

  • User friendly
It is great for performance evaluations but not as good for different areas such as the mentoring module. It is not very configurable. Additionally, the system cannot handle unique leadership roles. However, It provides a simple end user experience which is what matters the most. It is just a bit hard from an admin standpoint to maneuver and find shortcuts.
