What problems is WalkMe solving and how is that benefiting you?
The core problem we kept running into across clients regardless of whether the platform was SAP SuccessFactors, S/4HANA, or a non-SAP web application was the same: organizations would spend heavily on software licenses and implementation, go live, and then watch adoption stall. Users would either revert to old habits, flood the helpdesk with basic queries, or simply avoid the parts of the system they weren't comfortable with. The software was live, but it wasn't really being used.
WalkMe directly addresses that gap. A few patterns we've seen repeatedly across engagements:
Helpdesk ticket volume. We had a client running a SuccessFactors HCM rollout across multiple geographies. In the first month post-go-live without WalkMe, their HR helpdesk was logging a high volume of repetitive process queries password resets aside, most tickets were "how do I complete my appraisal" or "where do I submit a leave request." After deploying targeted Walk-Thrus and Smart Tips for the top ten recurring queries, that category of tickets dropped noticeably within six to eight weeks. The support team was able to refocus on actual system issues rather than hand-holding.
Training shelf life. The old model of pre-go-live training classroom sessions, recorded videos, PDF job aids has a short shelf life. Users retain very little by the time they actually need to perform a task in the system. WalkMe shifts guidance to the moment of need, inside the application, which is where it actually lands. Clients who previously ran three-day training programmes before every major release cycle have been able to scale that back significantly.
Faster onboarding on complex SAP environments. On S/4HANA Fiori deployments particularly, new users coming from older SAP GUI environments face a real adjustment. Role-specific Walk-Thrus that guide users through their most critical daily transactions have cut down the time it takes for new hires to reach operational confidence what previously took four to six weeks of shadowing and super-user support has compressed noticeably for clients who've invested properly in their WalkMe content.
From a partner delivery perspective, WalkMe has also given us a stronger post-go-live value proposition. Rather than the engagement ending at cutover, we can offer an ongoing adoption layer that keeps us relevant through hyper-care and beyond. That's changed how we structure some of our implementation contracts.
The measurable outcomes vary by client and scope, but the directional benefit is consistent lower support burden, faster user competency, and a better return on the underlying software investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
