Overall Satisfaction with SAP SuccessFactors

We use the full suite of SAP SuccessFactors modules at our organisation and use it to manage the lifecycle of employee data within the organisation. It is user friendly application and intuitive to use. SuccessFactors enhances the application with their half yearly release cycle and keep their software upto date with the latest trends in the market i.e. AI features and skills based organisation. We are currently exploring the use of colleague's skills to drive internal mobility across the organisation and train them as needed to bridge their skills gap and make them future ready for internal vacancies. This will not only help them to reach their aspired roles but also help the organisation attain cost savings by reducing the dependency on external sub-contractors. The modules are integrated well with lots of potential in the reporting area to help organisations make informed decisions about the future.
  • Integration of skills across Talent modules
  • Dashboard reporting capabilities
  • Keeping up to date with latest trends in the market
  • Improved Performance in Reporting
  • Ability to transfer files via SFTP using Report Stories
  • Improved Talent Search Functionality to identify Internal talent
  • Improved colleague experience
  • Central repository of employee data
  • Better reporting capabilities
While SAP SuccessFactors easy to integrate with other SAP products, it has it's own limitations where we sometimes see differences in field types/acceptable lengths across SAP products making it difficult to determine the appropriate decisions. Also, the look and feel across it's products can vary significantly although we see SAP making improvements in these areas and there is much more work here to streamline colleague experience.
It's a massive project and SAP colleague's where always on board to help remove blockers to ensure we meet our implementation timelines. They often brought us other customer's experiences, workarounds at meeting similar business requirements which gives us re-assurance that things are not going to be broken in the near future by SAP releases.
