Cost is the major factor as it impacts on the decision making process
Works well with other SAP products

Ease of looking at vacation details and requesting them. Also easy to keep track of compensation and your profile
Cons:
The direct deposit details update can be a bit easier to access and navigate
Not the best tool
Pros:
Implementation, many features, for big teams.
Cons:
It's complicated to use, not the best UI/UX.
Alternatives Considered:
Maintain trainings and ensure qualified employees
Pros:
Tracking uneasy without using paper folders and signatures.

I really do not have any cons. The software suits out needs.
One of the best HRM tool in the software market.
Comments: It has been an excellent experience using this software and highly recommend this for HR management.
Pros:
SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite simplifies the process of hire till retire, helps easily onboard the candidates, manage their profiles and then termination is done on the same tool.
Cons:
SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite needs certain improvements such as position based permissions, which is currently limited to role based permissions.
Valuable tool with continuous feedback being at the heart of it's many capabilities
Comments: Overall it's been a pleasurable experience and the SF Suite has added value to our organization.
Pros:
The most satisfying aspects of the Success Factors suite is the wide-range of capabilities, the focus on enhancing employee engagement, and the ability to provide and track continuous feedback across its talent management and performance evaluation functions.
Cons:
It's cumbersome to customize and deploy- many smaller organizations may need to hire an implementation partner as a result. Additionally, it's mobile version leaves a lot to be desired.
Too Complicated if you do not need an Enterprise Solution
Pros:
It is a solid HCM System if you are a company with subsidiaries and need to connect them all and intend to utilize it as such.
Cons:
The system’s implementation, cost, and overall ease of use leave much to be desired, not to mention the customer service. The cost is particularly exorbitant, making it a poor choice unless you intend to use it as a comprehensive ERP system to connect subsidiaries. Its design is somewhat outdated, functioning more like a relationship database. Upgrades are a slow process, taking years to complete, while other HCM products are rapidly introducing new features to keep pace with technological advancements. Building out this system is a time-consuming process, and by the time it’s ready, newer options have already hit the market. It then takes additional years to integrate these new features. Considering the high implementation and ongoing costs, it would be more prudent to opt for other HCM systems. These alternatives offer similar modules that function effectively, but at a fraction of the cost.

SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite in my life
Comments: Every week I issue notes with a repair nature and it is a very easy task to be performed by SAP. For 2 days a week I need to make inquiries of bank details from suppliers and change addresses and emails and it is also an easy activity whose platform facilitates reading and changing data.
Pros:
What I like most about this site is the speed of loading each function and page opened, in addition to supporting several open at the same time. But more important is the amount of functions available for use, such as inventory control, supplier search, payment collection, among others.
Cons:
Sometimes it's kind of hard to find a search function I need and I end up having to question my colleagues even though I've had access to the site for years.
Good Core HRIS - but nothing more than that
Comments: Poor to non existent customer service, with poor additional modules not worth using (much better to use best of breed tech and integrate it into SF via API or SFTP), but a decent Core HRIS for larger organisations.
Pros:
For a Core HRIS, it's a solid system. A little complicated in use, but nevertheless, core HRIS data is well structured and reportable.
Cons:
Additional modules are basic to poor in quality. Recruitment module is a 5/10 - does the very basic stuff, but that's it. Very reactive recruitment focus, relying on job board posts to fill jobs. Non existent functionality - in terms of them actually being useful - re talent pools, searching the database, integrating with other tech etc. I couldn't also recommend the Performance module - too complicated and not liked amongst users. Talent module not worth it at all. Etc etc.
SAP Human Capital Management
Comments:
The main focus of SAP HCM is employee administration: which gives basic, personnel-related data, and leverages a centralized database that enables employees and management to access up-to-date, consistent information that supports HR- and business-related decisions.
Global employee management allows to supports processes involved in international employee relocation, including planning and preparation of global assignments to personnel administration and payroll for global employees managements.
Perfect Payroll and legal reporting which allows for large multi-regional countries payroll handling and support for legal regulations compliance with regulatory and reporting requirements.
Manager Self-Service (MSS) which provides managers with the information and application access for employee development, compensation planning (and approval), and budgeting.
Employee Self-Service (ESS) which provides employees (even if deployed globally) with the information, access, and tools to autonomously manage their own important life and work events.
Shared-Service Framework which is a multifunctional framework that allows for the same architecture to be deployed in support of HR, finance, IT, service center operations, and other business functions.
Pros:
Talent management analytics: which allows for employee skill/qualification analysis; recruiting process evaluation; learning program effectiveness measures; succession program assessment; cost-benefit analyses of employee compensation programs.
Cons:
Training and SOX deployment is bit difficult
The best
Pros:
The most useful program I've ever used for HR
Cons:
inter-module integration can be further improved
Perfect one stop solution to manage employees database
Comments: Overall good and mature product. Have been using it for almost 2 years now and not a single time faced any issue. Must for medium to large scale organization.
Pros:
Very clean and simple UI which makes it easy to use, goal setting is very easy, good feature of requesting and giving feedback, good features in terms of employee directory search, course tracking is made easy and lots of other good features which I have used. Also one good feature is that you can customise your own ui with just simple drag and drop of tiles and arrange them according to your usage and importance.
Cons:
I personally feel that UI colors can be improved and its usually kept very simple. Good to add feature like giving badges when providing feedback.

SAP is a very powerful ERP system but must be for smart people to be able to fully functionality
Comments: We were able to automate our Time Management system although more training is required for the timekeepers/time Admin in order for them to fully understand and use the system to its highest functionalities.
Pros:
The full integration with all modules from HR to Finance to Materials as well as its retro accounting calculation is a plus.
Cons:
Reporting is quite tedious and more manual intervention required. Time Management is too complex - not simple to trouble shoot errors.

Take control of your payroll in an unbeatable order!
Pros:
You can keep detailed control of all your work payroll. Contracts, payroll, fiscal retractions as well as the progress of each employee within the company. Being able to have an exact report of all the employee's performance in the company, from training courses carried out to labor incidents. So far I have not seen a better tool to keep the work payroll in such a neat and efficient way.
Cons:
It is not as easy or simple to use as it seems. You have to do specialized courses to learn how to use it but without a doubt it's worth it! It is an excellent software.
Good functionality, challenging to implement
Comments: Overall, the SAP HCM software is great and is highly sophisticated when it comes to advanced reporting and metrics. The program, initially, is not the most user-friendly, however once users become proficient, it’s a highly advanced and multi-functional system which I would recommend.
Pros:
This software is highly functional from a HCM perspective and provides users with great analytics for the purpose of ongoing organizational metrics in the areas of recruitment, talent management, compensation.
Cons:
The implementation was challenging in that upgrades would be pushed through without notice and as a result, the system would not function as it had been programmed initially. Customer service was decent, but troubleshooting technical issues and identifying the system error sources was difficult.

SuccessFactors Review
Comments: It offers a great and easy platform to build a Human Resources system
Pros:
It is a great Human Resources tool for clients and implementing it has been made relatively simple and straight foreward
Cons:
Some of the modules/features for consultants are archaic and needs to be updated. The quarterly updates are also not always tested properly, and this tends to break some features

Perfect HCM Suite for a large business
Pros:
1. User friendly 2. Self Explanatory 3. Easy to log into mobile app by just scanning bar code. 4. Vast and indepth 5. Highly customizable. 6. As an administrator, it is easy to work on.
Cons:
As an administrator I find that it has taken time to integrate with SAP On premise software. As a New user tutorial should be there. If I am not used to the cloud technologies, and not very tech savvy, it becomes difficult to adopt. Some gamified tutorials would be the best.

A super program for the management of human resources, the truth is that it is very good
Comments: I learned to use the program and manage it a bit, with the help of technical personnel I knew its internal structure, but it is not my competence
Pros:
the SAP program is very powerful, for the administrative area of a company, it has many modules to manage human capital, finances, processes, planning and many more, I liked the program a lot even though it was difficult for me to learn and adapt
Cons:
It took me a long time to learn how to use the program since there were details with the servers in the company that uses it, but that is something internal, otherwise I can say that it is worth using SAP in companies even though their license is expensive
