"This solution has localized the payroll which is a good thing."
"I like the interfaces, and they are fine. I would like to see more interfaces."
"The feature I like the most is the notification bar where we can see upcoming courses that the organization requires from time to time. It's easy to track any pending courses. I also like the search feature in SuccessFactors. We can search for newly available courses that are updated in the system for completion."
"This solution offers good flexibility and configurability. It can handle different types of performance management."

"Oracle needs to make some sort of support repository that is up to date."
"The absence management can use some improvement. Due to all the flexible working, the part with work schedules could be a little bit more flexible."
"Product integration, particularly with collaboration tools, is lacking in this solution."
"I believe what could be improved is the EX portion of Oracle HCM Cloud and how it can more easily integrate with other tools."
"It's not so easy to customize as it's cloud-based."
"Lacks relevancy for the current generation."
"SuccessFactors should consider building their best practices around critical industries to help companies become more differentiated in the markets they operate in."

"Integration between Employee Central and Compensation in SAP SuccessFactors is one area of the solution that has room for improvement."
"SAP SuccessFactors could improve learning management. The module is desperate and should be included in the primary solution. Additionally, it is missing some business use cases."
"There have been cases involving a lot of re-implementations and frustrations within clients where they have the workbook sessions, the workbook workshops and things like that. And I think that doesn't really go down well because the workbooks are very technical and, a lot of times, very confusing for the client."
