I really like the built-in AI functionality of SAP SuccessFactors HCM. It stands out because it suggests many tasks that can be automated. Earlier, we used to manage everything manually, but now, this AI integration helps us do things much more automatically. It makes our organization more autonomous by specifically helping us automate the capturing of feedback throughout the organization. This enables us to provide much more pointed feedback to our employees. The setup process for SuccessFactors is also very intuitive and easy, provided there's no big customization required.

Now, the SuccessFactors navigation is not very user friendly. So if the navigation can be more user friendly, that will improve our performance and productivity much more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very friendly to the eye and easy to use. I have the ability to see the activity on my dash board for my team and able to see the progress for each role and get notification on each status the candidate hits a specific workflow. I have the ability to bulk action messaging the candidates in the pipeline all at once , reject them at once, even adding tags or change status all at once. really making my job easier.

Some fields I cannot bulk action like for ex, if I have 100 candidates and would like to confirm my ownership that these belongs to me, I cannot bulk action this and add my name as the recruiter, also within the job itself, there is search tab, it is very difficult to add the all candidates names there or email address as the system doesn't get it right so I can bulk select specific candidates to either reject or change to specific status, it is really consuming lots of time.

What I like best about SAP SuccessFactors is how comprehensive and well-integrated it is for HR processes.

Integration with other SAP systems and third-party tools is smooth, and customer support is reliable, making it a strong, enterprise-ready HR platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike about SAP SuccessFactors is that the user interface can feel complex and less intuitive, especially for first-time users.

SAP SuccessFactors is a unified platform that is straightforward to implement. At our company, we use it for recruitment as well as Employee Central to manage employee profiles. It is a one shop stop with multiple HR functions. It can be easily integrated with systems like ServiceNow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are noticeable performance issues with SAP SuccessFactors. We've experienced significant delays when loading the platform, especially when accessing employee profile pages that contain a lot of information or detailed fields—it can take an extremely long time to load. Additionally, the system crashes frequently, which disrupts our workflow. The licensing pricing is also a concern, as it feels too high and lacks transparency.

The user interface could be much more modern compared to competitor products like Workday or PeopleSoft. The integration of AI for employee self-service and mobile application support is not as strong as competitor products. Sentiment analysis, skills and competencies management, etc., are not as good as the competition. Post-merger data integration was very difficult, especially data migration.
