We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The stability of the solution is good.""The solution offers good benefits for administrators.""Good integration capabilities and extensibility.""It is easy to use. Requisition management and pre-screening are the two most valuable features.""The Talent Acquisition and Headhunting features are good.""The solution is stable and reliable.""Performance and goal management are good to have, based on certain client requirements where the user base isn't too large, but the most workable domain of Taleo is the recruiting module."

More Oracle Taleo Pros →

"The most valuable feature of SAP SuccessFactors is analytics.""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.""In terms of user experience, it is quite good.""Overall, it's excellent performance management.""There are a lot of features in SuccessFactors that HR can actually explore. We recently implemented a learning platform that employs the individual staff to actually manage their own learning.""The main advantage of SuccessFactors is its ability to add many types of integrations within the SAP Cloud platform. Many useful modules can be implemented alongside SuccessFactors as third-party integrations, and this capability to extend the system is a big plus.""The most important feature is the ability to follow up on the yearly performance of the team. It's very good for management to understand how people are performing.""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."

Cons
"In terms of Oracle Taleo as a product, there are a lot of things which can be developed; most feedback which I have heard from customers is about the dashboard and the home page, both of which are quite basic.""I don't see very valuable features in this product because it has an old way of interpreting ATS. It should be more flexible in managing datasets and data searches. The screening data is a long process in Taleo.""The bulk recruitment feature does not work well.""Lacks some systems that we need.""There are always going to be little caveats here and there that you might not have known about as far as changes are concerned, however, it's not business-oriented to the point where the business shuts down.""It would be ideal if we could integrate the solution with Olympia. It would be helpful if we could add another support desk for an IT person. It would be great if the product was more interdisciplinary and could include IT.""The pricing could be improved."

More Oracle Taleo Cons →

"The user experience could be simplified.""The product doesn't have a modernized look and is not very user-friendly like other products.""It is not that user-friendly. It can be made more user-friendly.""I think there is room for improvement in user friendliness. In my experience, users are sometimes confused about how to use the solution.""The reporting and cloud integration could be done better in this solution.""LMS, Learning Management Systems, needs improvement because there were some stability problems.""There is an area of improvement in integrating SuccessFactors with different platforms.""SuccessFactors should consider building their best practices around critical industries to help companies become more differentiated in the markets they operate in."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Whether you pay annually or on some other payment schedule depends on the license model you choose. Typically, clients pay a yearly subscription."
  • More Oracle Taleo 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."
