Powerful HR Solution for global companies

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates SAP SuccessFactors HCM from other similar products?

SAP SuccessFactors is different because it works best for big global companies, gives strong local compliance, and connects smoothly with other SAP systems. It’s a full HR suite covering everything from hiring to payroll, making it stronger for complex, multinational needs compared to others like Workday or Oracle.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favourite aspect of SAP SuccessFactors is that it brings all HR processes into one place – from hiring to payroll – making it easier for companies to manage people globally.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The thing I dislike most about SAP SuccessFactors is that it can be complex and costly to implement, and users often need extra training to use all the features well.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Invest in user training and change management so employees get the most value

Pros

Helps Innovate
Performance Enhancing
Enables Productivity
Trustworthy
