We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Pros
"PeopleStrong Alt is flexible because it allows customization and the user's experience is very good.""The product has valuable flexibility for customization, user interface, and search capabilities.""The UI and UX are fantastic.""The mobile responsiveness is strong.""The hiring process is good. It will create a process-oriented procedure in terms of hiring, promotion, the movement of people, and other related HR tasks.""Some of the most valuable features are the onboarding experience of new employees, the employee service portal, and the entire performance management system."

More PeopleStrong Pros →

"The most valuable features of the solution are GUI and OData API.""SuccessFactors' most valuable feature is performance management.""The features of the solution that I found valuable for my business are its ability to create a dashboard, pie charts, and reporting functions, as well as advanced reporting capabilities.""One of the most wonderful features is the ability to customize the modules and workflows. So far, we've done a fair bit of customization and it is helping us a lot and really adds to the value we already get from SuccessFactors.""What I like the most is the KPI management formula.""The interface is user-friendly. It is very simple and intuitive, so it's good.""It is a scalable solution.""The SuccessFactors learning applications within the SuccessFactors learning modules, as well as the performance management system, are highly beneficial for each and every employee in our organization. These tools eliminate the need for using Excel to manage data, allowing for direct input into the system. This streamlines the process, making it easier to view and analyze information. We can readily access our performance history, comparing our actions and achievements from the previous year. At present, we are consistently monitoring our day-to-day performance."

More SAP SuccessFactors Pros →

"UKG allows us to customize our home screen so that we can easily monitor important items on a daily basis.""It is much easier to use and the customer service is better than our previous solution.""The fact that I can see the whole HR information in a single point is valuable. There is a unified view of everything, which is good. Previously, we had many different systems for each part of the information. Now, it is all centralized. It is very good.""The solution has improved our organization by helping us cut hours and lessen our labor force. It saved us probably over $100,000 in just the last couple of years.""I like UKG's integration.""It enables us to manage the system ourselves. We don't need an additional team to do a lot of maintenance and add the things that we want.""The most valuable feature is being able to get time management reports which break out reclassified jobs and departments to separate areas of the company. This allows for better tracking of hours spent in certain jobs and where more hours may be needed.""I have found the most valuable feature to be business intelligence and Cognos reporting."

More UKG Pros →

Cons
"They could include a sort of collaborative platform where employees are able to work together with a chat mechanism like WhatsApp and video chat.""The solution's workflow can improve by adding more customization at the organizational level.""They could improve talent management capabilities.""It would be helpful if you could work offline because sometimes, we have problems with internet connectivity.""The global scalability and support could improve.""They had challenges getting the performance management system up and integrated with our systems."

More PeopleStrong Cons →

"SAP SuccessFactors can improve the recruitment module and artificial intelligence features. More powerful analytics are needed.""There is room for improvement in the pricing model.""The back end for the administration and the front end is too overtly complex and it's not aligned with our operations and learning needs.""The SAP SuccessFactors integration with old versions can improve. We are using an older finance module but we are having migration issues.""The pricing of SAP is quite high.""There is not much scope for enhancements, personalization, or customization with the cloud-based variant of this solution, which could be improved.""The integration between the recruitment module and employee central is a big problem.""SAP should also look into easily integrating with other applications or other tools. Technology has changed now, and it should be easier for any application to integrate with other apps. There needs to be more flexibility."

More SAP SuccessFactors Cons →

"I would like to see more functionality in the next release to be able to get hours and dollars per calendar month rather than just by payroll in the Business Intelligence reports.""UKG could be a little more flexible in some areas.""Certainly, the time and attendance and the payroll integration need a lot of work. They are disjointed pieces, and they don't work smoothly together. That's the main drawback.""One area where UKG could improve is in its ability to understand its own competency and then work hard to improve it.""The solution could improve by simplifying it even more core reports, such as more sample reports, more generic reports that you can edit and improve on yourself.""I would like the capability to use UKG as a single platform without the need to alternate between systems.""The solution could use better reporting with standard reports. We use the Cognos platform in BI for a lot of our reporting. However, they need to have more robust standard reporting available to their user base.""The navigation on the screen could be better. Sometimes, I have to dig a little bit deep to find what I need. Everything is there. It just needs to be a little bit smoother."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It's very reasonably priced. It is paid per employee."
  • "The product has reasonable pricing."
  • More PeopleStrong Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The licensing fees are based on the number of modules that are being used, and the number of users."
  • "I don't want to comment on the license cost, to be honest. It could be about $1,000 approximately per customer. However, it's very flexible in terms of the licensing costs depending on the volume and depending on the deal of installation."
  • "If you go by best practices and do it right from the outset, the setup won't be a costly endeavor. In terms of setup, there is a lot of flexibility compared to three years ago."
  • "It could be cheaper."
  • "We have a yearly license. There are no additional costs."
  • "SAP SuccessFactors requires an annual subscription."
  • "It is not expensive because it is a complete suite with a module-based cost."
  • "For SAP, the product is pricey, both CAPEX and the OPEX. It's something that could be improved."
  • More SAP SuccessFactors Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I wasn't involved in the pricing part. I'm a user, and I believe it is based on the user count. One thing that is nice about Ultimate is that you can learn how to use the system without additional fees. The learning aspect is the life of a product, and the training was a huge reason why we went with Ultimate. We did have some integration costs. They were a part of the implementation because of the integrations to other systems that we included in our implementation."
  • "While I am unsure of the licensing cost itself, the total cost of implementation and licensing for a company with over 5000 employees would be around 6,00,000. So, there are additional costs beyond licensing."

    Reviews from Real Users

    “We are using it for a lot of things: HR, performance management, and learning management. There are a lot of features embedded in SuccessFactors. We recently implemented a learning platform that employs the individual staff to actually manage their own learning. They can do it at their own pace. SuccessFactors allows you to manage your team, have calibration for promotion, and you can generate reports and see how you're doing.” - Alaba O., IT Asset Management Lead at Dangote Industries Limited
