"I think HCM was the most stable for me...It is a very scalable product."
"I like the talent, recruitment, and learning features the most."

"The most valuable feature is Organizational Management (OM)."
"Payroll processing is my favorite HCM feature, and I like all the SuccessFactors talent modules also. SAP is making good progress on enhancements to the features in the SF modules."
"Sympa HR was helpful since it helped me manage HR master data in a single system."
"The organizational structure visualization could be improved in future releases. The solution has a very poor interface."

"We find some challenges in the integration between SAP HCM and SAP SuccessFactors."
