### "Gets the job done but leaves a lot to be desired"

April 1, 2015

3.0

Sucessfactors gets the job done however not very well. The site is slow and searching for anything is cumbersome. Keywords bring back too many options to choose from, they don't narrow anything down. It sends too many email reminders once registered but then none before the event. The management functionality is decent, it allows batch assignments which has been a useful tool. Creating course offerings and scheduling is easy and very straightforward. From a user perspective it is not appealing, the notifications never seem to go away and there is continual maintenance requiring outages every week.

### "Six years with Comp, Goal, Performance and 360. One year with EC, ATS, LMS"

November 4, 2014

3.5

Pros

The Compensation Planning module is very powerful. There is functionality particularly with Executive Review that is not offered by other vendors. The goal and Performance modules are highly configurable and equal to anything else offered on the market. The user interface is better than what I have experienced working with other vendors/products.

Cons

ATS still is lagging the other leaders in the segment. EC is a great product, but not as easy to navigate as Workday.

### "Great product for Talent Management"

January 10, 2018

4.0

The more mature and complete SuccessFactors solutions are: Performance and Goals, Learning

Pros

There is a very configurable solution, user oriented and, flexible process. The system provide a full range of HR solutions : learning management system (LMS), performance solution, recruiting assets, applicant tracking platform, talent management, succession planning, and HR analytics.

Cons

Perhaps the weakest points of SuccessFactors solution are the price, I thing it&#180;s expensive, depending on number of modules and user. The support service is slow sometimes.

### "Recently implemented LMS with SF, growing pains still"

September 13, 2016

3.0

Pros

User friendly layout/design. like the customization of the home page.

Cons

seems like to use features of the system requires you to be a programmer, it's not intuitive by no means. which has limited our use of some of the great features it offers.

### "SuccessFactors Review"

SuccessFactors Review

Pros

I don't really care for the program, but you can complete it fairly quickly. I do like the suggested text, that makes the process even faster.

Cons

The formatting is cumbersome and the directions for completion aren't very clear. When you use the program for the first time, it's very confusing and you have to take a lot of time to figure it out.

I set this up for a distributed team and was able to onboard, train, and deploy with minimal effort. With advanced planning, this tool is a godsend for managers.

Pros

### "employee engagement made easier"

November 7, 2016

It's a really decent feature rich product. You can get advice on all the best practices for both your process flow and SuccessFactors implementation. you can also learn from other user and network. Get Business support available and prompt responses makes it easier to use.

Pros

feature that guides you in responding to performance review questions.

Cons

UI is good, but can get better, navigation between workflows can be improved.

### "Great performance management product!"

October 3, 2016

Overall SuccessFactors has great performance management software tools - creating goals, tracking performance, compensation, recruitment, etc. My only suggestion is building in how-to-use instructions directly into the tool to make it more user friendly.

I like how easy the UI is to navigate, the administrative capabilities are very easy to understand and reporting is abundant. I would like more help documentation on reporting, but that may be something I have not yet uncovered in their help section!
