"It is a configurable, scalable solution."
"The solution has good integration with other applications."
"The tool's implementation has resulted in significant time savings, ranging from 30 to 50 percent across various processes.

The robust nature of Oracle HCM Cloud ensures high accuracy."
"It has good navigation, and it is user friendly and secure. Every three months, there is an upgrade, and it has new features."
"The technical support is very good."
"It is very user-friendly. Most of the UI is very intuitive so you don't need to follow a course to follow it up."
"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 tool is easy to use for performance management. We haven't experienced any issues with SAP SuccessFactors for performance management, which is great. However, since we're still learning to use it fully, we might not utilize all its available features yet."
"The most valuable features of SAP SuccessFactors are onboarding, recruiting, marketing, and performance."
"This solution provides up with an easy way to on/off-board staff, as well as actioning internal transfers."
"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."

"The interface is user-friendly. It is very simple and intuitive, so it's good."
"It covers all the everyday functions of the employee life cycle."
"It is a cloud solution, so we cannot do much customization. However, if you have a past license, you can do the customization, but unfortunately, we don't have a past license. If we had that, we would have been 100% happy."
"Exposure to users on the volume or utilization of servers and memory is necessary. Currently, when users hit the threshold, the system experiences a slowdown."
"We have received some unfavorable feedback regarding Oracle HCM Cloud's performance. This has led us to investigate alternative solutions. In my own experience, I have struggled with the slowness of the cloud assessment and the overwhelming complexity of the software's robust architecture. I have reservations about sharing any positive experiences I may have had with the solution."
"The features available in EBS should be available on the cloud as well. When these features are not available on the cloud, it's hard to convince customers to migrate."
"I rate the technical support of Oracle HCM Cloud an eight out of ten. There is some room for improvement."
"HCM's analytics features could be improved."
"Although the performance management is good, it could be improved as its functionality is quite basic."
"Product integration, particularly with collaboration tools, is lacking in this solution."
"The pricing of SAP is quite high."
"I find that the website sometimes has problems loading, but I'm unsure if it's an issue with SuccessFactors. After the login, there are some connection issues. We get some errors telling us that it cannot connect to the host."
"The product doesn't have a modernized look and is not very user-friendly like other products."
"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."
"We encountered challenges with the tool's integration with third-party applications and deployments."
"SAP SuccessFactors functionality doesn't meet the expectation of our end users. There are other solutions that have better functionality, such as Workday, which is one of the top applications. Additionally, the solution could be easier to use."
"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."
"There are some limiting aspects to this product."
