SAP Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

A talent management (TM) suite is an integrated set of modules that supports an organization’s need to plan, attract, develop, reward, engage and retain talent. The modules offer functionality that includes the areas of workforce planning, recruiting and onboarding, performance appraisal, goal management, learning management, competency management, career development, succession and compensation. The functional modules align with the key human capital management (HCM) processes of:
•	Plan to source
•	Acquire to onboard
•	Perform to reward
•	Assess to develop
A boost to demand in the TM suite market has resulted from the delivery of functionality to improve workforce engagement and collaboration. Further, growing demand for greater analytical capabilities and predictive insights to improve decision making in relation to workforce actions has improved the market’s general health.

It's not a good looking software, but it does what it needs to for recruiting. It doesn't integrate well with others though, as it's extremely outdated compared to other softwares. 

Senior Executive

SAP Success Factors HCM is used for Leave applications, Goal management and tracking, and attendance tracking. Its user interface is intuitive and easy to operate. It is easily integrated with other SAP software.
