“Comprehensive Employee Management Features Highlight SAP SuccessFactors HCM’s Versatility”

4.0
Nov 4, 2025
While using SAP SuccessFactors HCM, I do not need any other HR software as it is alone enough for many things such as employee performance, employee training plans, employee personal information and data. It is also very easily adjusted according to the company way of work, like you can configure its workflow and modules and also its business rules to match the company way of working.

Reviewer Insights for: SAP SuccessFactors HCM

SAP SuccessFactors HCM Likes & Dislikes

Like

The top standout point of SAP SuccessFactors HCM for me is that it has a very good learning management system. It has very well made modules for employees like performance threshold and criteria for the promotion. and the rules and regulations of the company. SAP SuccessFactors HCM data security system is very good and it has features that ensures the safety of the data and make sure data encryption remains strong.

Like

it's fairly straightforward to use

Like

I really like how the software is customizable where I can add and remove tabs, change the themes, etc. I also like how SuccessFactors provides a wide variety of training courses, where I can look up different topics as well. Furthermore, the program also gives us the ability to add goals to stay on track at work. This software helps me improve my overall performance at work.

Dislike

SAP SuccessFactors HCM is not very easy to setup and it takes some time to learn, especially for those firms who are small in size. Also, it is not easy to learn quickly for first time users as its interface is very complex and provides too much information and options.

Dislike

The look and feel of the screen contents

Dislike

I dislike that, at times, SuccessFactors becomes slow when there is a high quality training course open. Also, at times, I have seen that the courses listed were not all up to date, where some fields were missing information. Also, some courses were too long to complete in one sitting. However, these issues are not much of a problem since I find the software very beneficial overall.

    Overall, I really love using SuccessFactors, especially for completing different training courses. I find the software to be very well organized, with different tabs and links laid out clearly. This includes the learning tab, the performance tab, the goals tab, etc. I like how I can customize the window how I want as well.

    SAP SuccessFactors allows for easy tracking of time and attendance in an organization, especially for those organizations that have simple schedules. It has several shortcomings that can be irritating when it comes to rotating and customizing shifts.
