3.0

Mar 2, 2026

My overall experience with SAP was positive in the context of HR and Occupational Safety integration. I participated in the selection and testing phase, mainly evaluating how the system would support the control of mandatory training, employee movements, and data movement for legal compliance purposes.

Performance of SAP SuccessFactors HCM Across Market Features

SAP SuccessFactors HCM Likes & Dislikes

Ease of use both from end user and administrator position

Consistency in the database and employee data, having up-to-date information on admissions, transfers, and terminations reduces failures in the control of mandatory training and avoids inconsistencies in audits. Another thing I also liked was that during testing, it became clear that configurable alerts help prevent the expiration of training required by regulations, strengthening compliance and reducing the risk of labor liabilities.

Automated Translation from Portuguese

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

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

It adequately serves the base of employees and training, but it does not replace a technical system for PGR or PCMSO. Adjustments to meet specific compliance requirements in occupational safety and health (OSH) typically require technical support or an implementation partner.

Automated Translation from Portuguese

Though comprehensive, outdated and unintuitive user experience. US feels definitely outdated and inconsistent across modules.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

Implementation and Administration of SuccessFactors Noted for Simplicity Over Time

Chief Executive Officer

Platform Offers Scalability and Security but Lacks Modern User Experience

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.
