Good work-related personality survey, but it needs to be updated
When it comes to understanding personality, the models are not dynamic enough. They use old, obsolete or outdated terminology. In general, they need to be updated. They need to include more dimensions for analyzing personality. They do not have an option for Saudi norms, or Arab norms, so we utilize the US norms. The problem is that these are not right for people working in the Middle East because the market is different and the culture is different. The US norms do not, for example, take into account the problems associated with regions that are underdeveloped culturally. I would add a dimension that deals with how the person perceives the culture of their society or the culture of their organization. It would help to determine how honest they are in their understanding, as opposed to pretending or being a hypocrite. It is important to do this in a sophisticated way so that they people do not figure out the reasons underlying those items, otherwise, they may get defensive and only answer the questions in the same way that they would answer their employer. Another dimension they should add deals with personal lifestyle. I work in the area of human health, both physical and mental, and it is very important to understand the employee's lifestyle. It is something where people often do not tell the truth unless you know them pretty well. For example, sometimes people deny that they are smoking or drinking, yet the reality is that they have these habits. People who are overweight sometimes deny the fact. Psychological problems are the same. OutMatch is not competitive in the Middle East.

HR has gained clear analytics for attrition, goals, and appraisals and manages talent efficiently
SAP SuccessFactors has a low error rate. We had many ad hoc reports that we needed to generate, and it was very easy to do so in SAP SuccessFactors. We also created many in-house reports according to our specific requirements with the help of this tool, which was a really big game changer for us. We did not depend on advanced Excel in those cases. We generated a lot of detailed reports whenever we needed them during emergency cases or board meetings. A lot of usefulness and time were saved in those cases. I will also mention that we conducted a comparative study for some recruitment cases. We had a recruitment model where we were looking for a very niche profile. Since the job profile was really different and rare, we had to depend on analytics to understand and shortlist from a large pool of candidates that we already had in our database. Analytics was really helpful in this situation.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature is that they have several competency models."
"OutMatch is a very good tool, and I think it's among the best in this field, but it needs updating and it needs more development."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the performance management module."
"The tool allows us to consolidate many review processes into one process."
"The SuccessFactors learning applications within the SuccessFactors learning modules, as well as the performance management system, are highly beneficial for each and every employee in our organization. These tools eliminate the need for using Excel to manage data, allowing for direct input into the system. This streamlines the process, making it easier to view and analyze information. We can readily access our performance history, comparing our actions and achievements from the previous year. At present, we are consistently monitoring our day-to-day performance."
"It has a global database, and it is globally accessible. By using this solution, we have moved away from paper, which is a big step for us."
"I love SAP, and I like SuccessFactors...I think most users prefer SuccessFactors as they become more comfortable with it."
"SAP SuccessFactors is a very reliable and stable solution."
"The solution is scalable. We have about 1,300 people using the solution."
"The best feature is that the solution has an open architecture and provides an open platform so it can coexist with other systems."
 

Cons

"When it comes to understanding personality, the models are not dynamic enough. They use old, obsolete or outdated terminology. In general, they need to be updated."
"The integration with Employee Central and Employee Central Payroll needs improvement as the client is still considering on-premises solutions."
"SuccessFactors was down completely for one day. All the companies which were using the Amsterdam datacenter were down from 8:00 in the morning to 18:00 in the evening."
"SuccessFactors is a perfect tool if you use it the way it is meant to be, but if you start building custom sessions and try to use it differently, then it is a total mess."
"Technical support has been an issue since day one."
"I don't think SuccessFactors is quite fit for use as an employee database."
"EC Payroll and Time Management should provide more functionalities and flexibility, there is still a big gap between the SAP HCM On Premise System and Employee Central."
"The complete integration process between SuccessFactors modules is not at the level that all customers expect when it comes to complete HR user experience from all angles."
"SAP SuccessFactors can improve the recruitment module and artificial intelligence features. More powerful analytics are needed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I think the pricing is a little better than most solutions out there. There are reasonable prices when it comes to some of the modules such as the Payroll module, and for the remaining modules I believe the pricing is fair in comparison to the rest of the market."
"This is a more costly solution than comparable products, and training is not available in the open-market, so this has to be purchased separately from the vendor."
"The pricing for SuccessFactors is ridiculously high, and there are costs in addition to the license fee for some features."
"It is not expensive because it is a complete suite with a module-based cost."
"I have raised change requests for some modules within SuccessFactors. For example, when you're using Recruiting Management, there's a feature called Interview Central you can use to reach the candidates you're interviewing. I wanted to add a writing assessment when I select the competency on that platform. It varies from consultant to consultant, depending on what module they use."
"Due to the way in which we purchased SuccessFactors as a module along with other SAP modules, we were able to procure it at a slightly better price than usual. I would rate their pricing 5/5 stars."
"We have a yearly license. There are no additional costs."
"The product is expensive. The product is worth the money you pay for it."
