"We use the cloud version to maintain all the employee records, payroll, etc. We use everything that comes with the HR suite.""All of SuccessFactors' features are useful, but there are several modules within SuccessFactors that I find handy. You have Employee Central, which manages employee records within the system. It manages all the information about an employee, including names, addresses, account numbers, positions, org charts, etc. It also handles performance reviews and KPIs for employees within an organization. Then you have succession planning and development as well.""This solution provides up with an easy way to on/off-board staff, as well as actioning internal transfers.""The most valuable feature is the onboarding module, which enables candidates to fill in their details online and smoothly transitions data from the recruitment module into the SAP database.""SuccessFactors offers all aspects of Human Resources Management. What I love most about it is that it can be implemented for any company very quickly.""The functionality and user friendliness are constantly improving.""SAP SuccessFactors is a stable solution.""Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten...It is a stable solution."

Cons
"The user interface could be improved and the maintenance is complex when it comes to upgrades.""I would like to have recruitment and acquisition features added to this solution.""In future releases, it would be useful to see reporting lines of all the team members in our business to understand who reports to whom.""The HR portal, training model, and development career model could all use improvement. Stability and scalability should be improved as well.""The solution is a little bit slow.""Meta4 could improve by allowing users to manage things by themself.""training and performance could be improved.""The HR portal, training model, and the development career model all need improvement."

"SAP SuccessFactors could improve the integration. It is not simple to integrate and it needs to be made easier.""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 pricing of SAP is quite high.""We would like to see improvement in the initial launch of the product, as it is currently quite slow.""The user experience could be simplified.""We encountered challenges with the tool's integration with third-party applications and deployments.""Its overall integration and user experience can be improved. SuccessFactors is a system that is built out of three different systems. The elements part was bought from Plateau, and the original performance dialogue was built by SuccessFactors itself. After that, SAP bought it, and it hasn't improved in the last few years. SuccessFactors is a perfect tool if you use it the way it is meant to be, but if you start building custom sessions and try to use it differently, then it is a total mess. It is not agile. It is like an old Mastodon truck or whatever. We don't have the Employee Central and Competence Management modules. Our company made the choice to not implement the Employee Central module. We also didn't implement the Competence Management module. We use the learning module to do some competence management, but I am not that fond of it. It would have been best to have the whole suite. SAP should never sell this without selling the whole suite because it just doesn't work. The biggest gain for me would be having the possibility of doing strategic personnel planning and managing internal mobility. If it could be used for social purposes, such as creating communities and connecting with media channels, that would be perfect. It should also have the possibilities for local admin and agile product development.""To explain one feature that I would like to see in SuccessFactors, I must describe a similar feature as seen in Oracle. In Oracle, there's a feature called Workforce Prediction, and with this feature, we can predict some of the behaviors of any employee. For example, the software can attempt to predict whether the employee might resign in future, or perhaps if they will start to perform better. This is something that is missing in SuccessFactors."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Meta4 requires annual maintenance that needs to be paid for."
  • "From a cost perspective, I think this is a well-balanced option."
  • More Cegid 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."
