SAP SuccessFactors HCM Likes & Dislikes

Like

Ease of use both from end user and administrator position

Like

I like that you can integrate it through our existing company database and we were able to add more features to it including performance reviews, appraisals and internal training. We also collaborated with the training team to customize it even more.

Like

Scalability is the biggest plus of this product. Deep integration with the SAP ecosystem. Enterprise grade security and compliance.

Dislike

Sometimes new functionality is introduced without considering the impact to the customer

Dislike

It goes slow once in a while during deployment.

Dislike

Though comprehensive, outdated and unintuitive user experience. US feels definitely outdated and inconsistent across modules. Limited flexibility. Slower innovation velocity vs. new startups.

    Platform Offers Scalability and Security but Lacks Modern User Experience

    4.0
    Feb 26, 2026
    Very comprehensive HR platform that works well for large and global organizations. Core modules like employee central, performance & goals, and compensation are powerful once configured correctly. However, the system feels heavy and rigid with a dated user experience and a steep learning curve for both admins and users.

    SAP is an amazing system, it helps me manage recruitment, streamline the hiring process and centralizes everything. It just makes life so much easier and simpler and we move away from excel and word for reporting and tracking information.
