"The most valuable feature is the smooth integration."
"There is a need for quite a bit of improvement. The reporting side of things definitely needs a lot of improvement. At the moment, it gives you a data dump. You have to open it up in Excel and filter out the bits that you don't want and need."
"Cornerstone Learning's initial setup was complex, but I don't see that as a downside. It was complex because there is a lot of customizing and a lot of settings that can be done in the setup."
"Cornerstone Learning could improve the curriculum function by giving it more flexibility. I'm managing the solution and I adding content to the system, and overall, the backend of the system looks a bit dated.

"Could use more robust reporting or more flexibility and scalability around the reporting side."
"The existing test functionality is really old-fashioned, basic, and limited."

"The user interface is in need of improvement."
"SuccessFactors Learning solely serves as a plain learning experience platform without any pre-existing content."
"What needs improvement in SAP SuccessFactors Learning is the user interface. The user management and the integration of the whole suite could also be improved. The solution also needs to be modernized because at the moment, it's a little bit outdated. It's old-fashioned, and though it has a data import feature, that's just plain outdated. SAP SuccessFactors Learning doesn't have any cutting-edge features."
"I am talking about SAP in general, so there are multiple screens that you have to go through, and it takes some time to get used to it."
"The consultants implementing this solution could be more knowledgeable."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning doesn't have a punch-in and punch-out facility."
"The solution should have a more user-friendly dashboard because its current dashboard is not so great."
