We performed a comparison between SAP SuccessFactors and UKG based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Talent Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Easy to use and user-friendly."
"HR and managers can use the onboarding tool to help new employees prepare for their first day on the job, which can help them acclimate to the company culture and reduce anxiety."
"The overall functionality of the solution is very good."
"It has improved my organization by enabling us to efficiently manage our personnel."
"The performance and goal management is good, and it has a fairly detailed employee central."
"The solution is scalable. We have about 1,300 people using the solution."
"This solution has always been stable for me."
"Talent Acquisition and Learning features are best in class."
"I like UKG's integration."
"UKG allows us to customize our home screen so that we can easily monitor important items on a daily basis."
"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 employee self-service feature is most valuable. This is the restaurant industry, and they have a mobile app that allows employees to go in and manage their data. So, employees can manage direct deposit accounts, emergency contacts, and other things in the app. That's definitely the biggest benefit."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The product doesn't have a modernized look and is not very user-friendly like other products."
"Overall, the documentation could be improved, and I think the learning management module needs to include more capabilities when it comes to matching an organization's particular learning approach."
"The Reporting/Analytics and User Interface need improvement."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"The SAP SuccessFactors integration with old versions can improve. We are using an older finance module but we are having migration issues."
"The reporting and cloud integration could be done better in this solution."
"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."
"One area where UKG could improve is in its ability to understand its own competency and then work hard to improve it."
"Reporting is always a hurdle for any user just because it is so extensive. They provide a lot of out-of-the-box reports, but it is something that you always need to work on because you need more advanced writing of reports."
"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."
"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."
"I would like the capability to use UKG as a single platform without the need to alternate between systems."
"UKG could be a little more flexible in some areas."
"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."
