More Cegid Cons →

"The data management part can be improved in terms of how you can manage data from the HR admin's or HR team's perspective. It has some limitations in the reporting part in terms of how you can update the data and fetch the data. SAP HCM comparatively has a lot of capabilities in terms of backup loads, data management, data changes, etc. You can do these things easily, which is not the case with SAP SuccessFactors. Data management should be simplified in SAP SuccessFactors in terms of accessing the data, reporting, and then manipulating the data.""The user experience could be simplified.""The process for long modules needs to be improved, because compared to how it's done with a competitor (Meta4), the competitor's process was simpler.""There is not much scope for enhancements, personalization, or customization with the cloud-based variant of this solution, which could be improved.""SAP SuccessFactors could improve the integration. It is not simple to integrate and it needs to be made easier.""SAP SuccessFactors' pricing structure could be improved.""I would like to be able to configure objects from instances, not from import and export files.""They should be more user friendly and give us more tools to make it more flexible."
