SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite

Vorteile

It enables to have a helicopter view of a department with employees and getting their impact and finding what differentiates them among others. The report it generates is so good that you can easily demonstrate it to management.

Nachteile

Creating a first time user and getting it done as same as other interfaces take really time. We couldn't find the option to create a shadow user and implement it to other users, this feature should be adapted.

Vorteile

The best feature is the native integration with other SAP tools that allow you to leverage the existing data stored in the company's central instance

Nachteile

Solutuon is not fully usable in all kind of devices. Often pages are not designed efficiently and the elements are not formatted properly to be used in a mobile devices.

Vorteile

Suite is accessible on mobile platform increasing training adherence.

Nachteile

Platform is clunky and software environment is something out of the early 2000’s

Vorteile

SuccessFactors is extremely customizable, and it also has a ton of features (LMS, Employee management, Performance Reviews, Reporting/Analytics, etc.

Nachteile

Enabling new modules/features or customizing anything that requires provisioning access will require you to work through a third party. This can be inconvenient and very pricey.

Vorteile

Its a positive move to have a system for performance management and objective setting available on yoir computer and mobile

Nachteile

Its complicated.
Its not focused on users. Its not intuitive. The ways to access different elements of the system to change employee flags, see updates in the workflow and use the system are scattered around the page. Some on the top, some on the left, one half way down the page. I waste a lot of time trying to find what im needing to do.
Really does need taking apart and reengingeering with easy or use for the user.

Vorteile

Ease of looking at vacation details and requesting them. Also easy to keep track of compensation and your profile

Nachteile

The direct deposit details update can be a bit easier to access and navigate

Vorteile

The most satisfying aspects of the Success Factors suite is the wide-range of capabilities, the focus on enhancing employee engagement, and the ability to provide and track continuous feedback across its talent management and performance evaluation functions.

Nachteile

It's cumbersome to customize and deploy- many smaller organizations may need to hire an implementation partner as a result. Additionally, it's mobile version leaves a lot to be desired.

Vorteile

What I like most about SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite is its focus on employee experience, comprehensive HR capabilities covering the entire employee lifecycle, and strong analytics.

Nachteile

What I like least about SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite is its complex setup and configuration process, which can be time-consuming.

Vorteile

The software was great in helping us organize our data in one system.

Nachteile

A little confusing at first, but support was great!

Vorteile

I liked it has many categories to choose and measure employees

Nachteile

There are other vendors that have more ease of use.

Vorteile

Tools are available in the SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite for managing succession planning, identifying, and developing high-potential employees.

Nachteile

We've had a couple of new HR recruits and those that are unfamiliar with SAP technology find the learning curve for SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite to be challenging.

Vorteile

I can find multiple critical information on the same platform as team management, personal development, tasks to be completed etc.

Nachteile

Sometimes I face with difficulties to use the system on mobile.

Vorteile

This tool allows you to track and manage several aspects of your team along with having a single point of contact for all your HR needs. What I like most about this software is being able to track and manage my employees training requirements for the quarter and for the year. I also like to use the JD tool to create an impactful posting for my next open positions.

Nachteile

One thing I found that I like least was that not all managers use this software so some data may be missing or invalid. Because this relies on input from several managers for an overall picture of the employee, if other team members in management do not use this tool, it can be difficult to have the whole picture.

Vorteile

Nice to have SAP integration for this particular industry

Nachteile

Could use better user experience design

Vorteile

SuccessFactors offers an HRIS with modules to cover many aspects of Talent Management, including Recruiting, Onboarding, LMS, Goals, Performance, Succession Planning, Compensation, and Workforce Analytics.

Nachteile

Several of the modules have been bolted on over the years and are still not fully integrated like you might expect them to be. The look and feel of the modules are dated and there has been very little in the way of enhancements to the talent modules in the 6 years I have been using it. Built-in reports are limited. SAP Support has been poor. There are still many aspects of the configuration that can only be done in the back-end provisioning client by a configuration partner (not by the client), so the client can never truly be self-sufficient.

Vorteile

What I like most about this site is the speed of loading each function and page opened, in addition to supporting several open at the same time. But more important is the amount of functions available for use, such as inventory control, supplier search, payment collection, among others.

Nachteile

Sometimes it's kind of hard to find a search function I need and I end up having to question my colleagues even though I've had access to the site for years.

Vorteile

I like that this software have a lot to offer although our company has decided to blend it to Oracle HCM as it was our old system and we cannot easily shift to SAP. It is very easy to use and it covers from onboarding, performance management, data management, payroll until offboarding.

Nachteile

There are a number of instance of having access errors for our employee's portal.

Vorteile

Nothing compared to modern ATS´s like Ponty, Workable, Teamtailor, GreenHouse etc. A nice "tell" is that during demo videos (created by actual fans/users on Youtube) the product lags and there is pauses every now and then since the pages have to load and you have to wait. Acceptable 10 years ago, not so much in 2018.

Nachteile

- Crap UX: Means many clicks = drags down productivity
- Setting up processes or adding a step is an actual project. Something that takes less then 2 minutes with any of the systems above
- No data visualization (unless extra module is bought). Data is everything! And it´s a really unmodern and slow process to create specific reports (again, a project in itself), and then you get a report where have to take the data and maunally use your own tools to visualize your findings.
- This is like a 15 years old recruitment system BUT it´s also expensive and you have to hire extra staff as trainers since the UX is so bad so this ads even more to the total cost.
- No built in surveys. For instance if you want to check your candidate experience and such.

The list goes on but you get the picture.

Vorteile

The best feature of SuccessFactors was that it was a operationally stable, cloud-native software when competitors were finding their footings with SaaS model and ensuring high availability. SuccessFactors had figured the technology out sooner than competition and our team didn't have to worry about hosting.

Nachteile

Modules in SuccessFactors appeared to be scattered and cobbled together inefficiently. It appeared that employee data got copied over to payroll module. Performance data was copied from one year to another. It just seemed like a trailer/mobile home put piecemeal'ed together using plastic, wood, metal, soil and broken wheels from trucks and motorcycles were put underneath the trailer/mobile home, but the paint looked uniform and hid these inefficiencies. SAP has a great opportunity to turn this around since their foundational infrastructure is solid.

Vorteile

ou can list and reach any kind of training & courses online. It's a good platform to find all kind of learning stuff in a hub

Nachteile

Graphical user interface is so complicated. It's hard to use. It should be designed more user-friendly.

Vorteile

All career items (learning / carrier / scorecard etc.) can be connected to each other.

Nachteile

User interface should be developed. It doesn't allow to user to check everything quickly.

Vorteile

I really like that since we are using success in my company, we do almost everything related to career development and benefits and employee management in the solution. We manage our objectives, 360 evaluations, trainings, vacations, vacants and more from success.

Nachteile

Sometimes new releases change things in the platform and I have discovered that every now and then we lost some features we had in the past.. but new things appear so is more the benefits than the bad things.

Vorteile

Team status reports are really useful. Vacation plan reports, office hour reports, salary reports and salary change reports.

Nachteile

User interface is very old fashioned and navigation within program to find correct functions and features are really hard.

Vorteile

We use this software for onboarding, Talent Management, performance review and pretty much anything to do with the HR processes including Payroll.

Nachteile

The only problem with this is only that this is slightly high in subscription cost.

Vorteile

It is a solid HCM System if you are a company with subsidiaries and need to connect them all and intend to utilize it as such.

Nachteile

The system’s implementation, cost, and overall ease of use leave much to be desired, not to mention the customer service. The cost is particularly exorbitant, making it a poor choice unless you intend to use it as a comprehensive ERP system to connect subsidiaries. Its design is somewhat outdated, functioning more like a relationship database.

Upgrades are a slow process, taking years to complete, while other HCM products are rapidly introducing new features to keep pace with technological advancements. Building out this system is a time-consuming process, and by the time it’s ready, newer options have already hit the market. It then takes additional years to integrate these new features.

Considering the high implementation and ongoing costs, it would be more prudent to opt for other HCM systems. These alternatives offer similar modules that function effectively, but at a fraction of the cost.

Vorteile

It helps to manage All Employee information safely.Easy to access and submit their concerns like applying leaves, payroll management, Searching for internal job can be done by themselves.Time Sheet Management is good, In that more options available so that we can mention easily.Available in system and Mobile which is super good.

Nachteile

HR policy tab should be pre designed, so that employee get everything clearly.

Vorteile

It enables you to accomplish whatever you want from vacations, iyou can make evearything you need from comapnies colliges while you in place

Nachteile

performers evaluation is complicated process and take long prosudres and not all labours can treat it so company cancel this process

Vorteile

L' insieme di strumenti avanzati che migliorano l'efficienza, la trasparenza e la strategia di sviluppo

Nachteile

L' implementazione iniziale richiede tempo e sforzi consistenti in particolare se non si ha dismestichezza con i sistemi SAp

Vorteile

Dentro de la organización se han implementando diversas herramientas de la suite de SAP, lo que ha permitido que la integración con sus diferentes software sea mas optimo y permite un control de procesos facil de integrar.

Nachteile

Al ser de la Suite mas conocida a nivel gran empresa, representa un costo alto y que tambien implica consultores de alta especializacion, lo que puede representar un reto al no tener un gran numero de empresas dedicadas a este software.

Vorteile

I like the complete end to end visibility of Employee details and canditates tracking with lots of workflows built into the system

Nachteile

Cost is the major factor as it impacts on the decision making process

Vorteile

It's ease of use and mobile accessibility are the most important factors about this software, which I liked the most. It's provides one click access to payrolls,income tax , attendance, training related information.

Nachteile

Sometimes it takes very much time to respond to sudden commands , which makes process bit slower.

Vorteile

Implementation, many features, for big teams.

Nachteile

It's complicated to use, not the best UI/UX.

Vorteile

I liked the diversity of features available in the software, be it Time Tracking, Payroll, Ease of Profile Setup or applying for an e-separation.

Nachteile

I suggest that they have an option for employees moving from temporary to permanent to migrate their time off balance from the old to the new account.

Vorteile

The reporting is very thorough, and the LMS allows personalisations until some point.

Nachteile

Very complex structure, incapability of managing elearning completion / from an Admin side, or seeing an elearning without assigining it to onesef first.

Vorteile

The HXM suite covers all the features of payroll, HR, recruiting , training, onboarding within a company , Since it covers all the features which is necessary for a company to function , buying the suite makes sense.

Nachteile

The user experience is not that great , to it comparison Workday is very smooth.

Vorteile

One stop best software for HR that provides amazing employee experiences and manages multiple segments to workforce. It has most advance workforce management features.

Nachteile

I believe that functionality wise it needs an improvement, there should be a timely software updates and The data visualization is less.

Vorteile

I love the UI of this thing. Like I feel it was built for me. There are panels where I can measure and check my own performance and improve upon them.

Nachteile

The system is nice but integrating it with other seems like a difficult area. I would never tread on those paths.

Vorteile

Tracking uneasy without using paper folders and signatures.

Nachteile

I really do not have any cons. The software suits out needs.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen

Vorteile

Data dump can be easily drawn even if it's more then an year ago

Nachteile

The interface can be made much more user friendly. As it might be bit difficult to understand for a new user

Vorteile

Easy to use and simple. Android application also works fine.

Nachteile

I don't get notifications in my application if, for example, my vacation request is accepted.

Vorteile

I like that there is an app, however i've never used it and i'm not sure how many of our staff use it either.

Nachteile

The main reason we use SF is time off requests/vacation management. After almost 2yrs of use, I still get emails from multiple team members that are struggling to:
- see their total accrued vacation time
- enter in their own vacation time (Aka they email asking me to do it for them)
- cancel their own days off (they email me asking me to do it for them)
- edit requests on their own (ex: changing from 3 days of vacation to 2 etc) without cancelling and re-entering the whole thing

My biggest frustration with SF is that it doesn't show team members their total time off, it only shows what they've accrued as of the day they are looking at their profile. in order to see how many days they have left to book they have to adjust the calendar. I get the most emails about this issue, and my team struggles with this the most.

You can't tell if a person has requested a 1/2 or full day w/o going "all the way" into the request - i should be able to look at either the homepage or Workflow Requests and tell if the person needs one day or just a 1/2. Instead you have to go into their profile, look at the request and THEN you can find out how much time they're requesting.

I also get email notifs every time i cancel someone else's vacation time and yet they won't get an email. i've reached out to our system admin about this more than once and they can't seem to come up with a resolution.

This software looks and feels old school - very windows 95.

Vorteile

I. Easy to use and very user-friendly for the HR guys as well as for the employees.
II. Specific role creation as of the role profile ( ensuring proper delegation of authority).
III. Real time update of the HR data.
IV. Performance management system.
V. Hiring or contracting and leaver management.
VI. Compensation and benefit management.
VII. Identifying the development needs of the employees and prioritizing the training program for the top loss.

Nachteile

I am extremely happy with this software and didn't find anything that I would not like.

Vorteile

An end to end system to handle recruitment, onboarding through to employee management, absence, performance and succession planning and offboarding is not easy to find at this price point.

The Integration Centre which can export data for use in other systems is feature rich and very fast for extracting data.

Nachteile

Reporting, and not unlike any cloud systems, isnt as strong as it could be. It is somewhat clunky and cumbersome to create reports.
SAP Support, so far, is extremely poor.
