SAP SuccessFactors Stability
Thanks to its stability, a lot of customers are running SuccessFactors in a lot of different countries, and not just the MEA region. It's a very successful product in this sense.

I don't think it is a stable product. Also, its stability depends on the industry it is used. So, it depends on how you use it, the industry, and in the business process. A business process should never be bent on what the system tells you and the system's limitations. If you do so, then the product is not right for your business. So, you need to get another product that's right for your business. There's already a product here that is beating down SAP in South Africa. So, they're busy now building the market data and the performance contract. I can tell you that in another maybe three years, all clients are going to leave SAP and move on to that local product.
View full review »The solution is very reliable. We receive advanced warnings when upgrades are going to be made, usually on a Friday or Saturday night. This gives us plenty of time to inform our team that the system will be down for approximately 24 hours, usually over the weekend. Since 2020, we have been using the system full-time and have only had two outages, one of which was our fault. An employee in our implementation department mistakenly deleted items they should not have, resulting in a 24-hour outage. Fortunately, since we are in the cloud, we were able to log a priority one call with SAP and they restored our entire system within 24 hours using the previous night's backup.

HRIS Manager at a engineering company with 5,001-10,000 employees
In the HR module, yes this solution is stable. It has been three months since we ran the payroll from SuccessFactors. We are not facing any software issues. We are facing issues with a change mind of our users in some branches, but not in all the branches.
For payroll in terms of stability, I built the payroll engine for the Gulf area so when you're the developer, you're able to help the end user and you keep on developing the solution the way they want it.
Now we deployed it the standard way and we just added some small configurations for the countries in scope, except for Iran and Lebanon.
SuccessFactors is a stable product. When a new employee under me joins, I get an email notification from SuccessFactors. The push notifications, etc., work seamlessly. I don't have any complaints about stability. I never experienced any delays with any push notifications or important organizational structures.

View full review »I have found the stability of SuccessFactors to be on par with other ERPs. And with my frequent exposure to HRMS and other tools, I would even say that SuccessFactors has an edge over these other solutions in this regard. If you're not utilizing the full capability of the solution, however, you are not easily going to see the benefits of it. As long as you are using it fully and effectively, SuccessFactors will perform as you need it to.
I can't comment much on maintenance because we leave that to the IT
department. They have around 20 employees, but not all of them are
working solely on supporting SuccessFactors because it is just one of
about 29 other SAP modules that we are using (not to mention the eCommerce side of our business), and there are many other tasks which they carry out.
SAP SuccessFactors is a stable solution.

The stability of the solution is good, but I would not say it's perfect. Sometimes it's not 100%. There are occasions when you want to do some technical updates and it will shut down the server for eight to ten hours. Usually, there will be an agreement between SAP and the customer and we try to shut down the server during off-hours. This means, however, that the availability is not 100%. Still, it is, on average, quite stable.

There are regular updates and obviously you have to keep it up yourself on a quarterly basis. That's a bit of pain, but at the end of the day it's all about digitalization and HR transformation.
