We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The ability to get matched to candidates is certainly valuable. In real time, you are able to adjust your description of the work and the project you need done in order to match you with the best candidates.""This solution has allowed our team to focus on higher value activities and to make sure that they are optimizing time to identify talent and match it to opportunities. They can then focus on the layers where humans are necessary.""The most valuable aspect of this solution is the insight we receive on current employees.""This solution has also been easy to use for people visiting our career site. Our survey report shows that 79-80% of users marked the application process to be very easy on our website.""The CRM is a useful feature to create user communities that we can actively engage in on an ongoing basis.""Stability is fantastic. In the two years we've used it, I've only experienced one outage.""I really like the ability to run campaigns with pipelines and events. Matching prospects based on skills and the calibration process has been most valuable.""This solution has made our team more collaborative. The recruiting team is easily able to see what the other team members are working on, what candidates are in process and how they can share candidates amongst themselves. They are now able to prevent work duplication due to increased visibility. Eightfold is candidate centric."

"Considering the flexibility of the system and its ability to accommodate complex business processes, the product is ready to be used in multiple industries.""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 improved my organization by enabling us to efficiently manage our personnel.""The most valuable feature of SAP SuccessFactors is analytics.""The UX in SAP SuccessFactors is good.""This solution has automatic linking and reporting features.

Cons
"There is room for improvement with regards to sourcing and attribution and to be more efficient with connecting leads.""The tagging feature is not as in depth and easy to use as I would've hoped for. Although you can create tags for candidates, there's no way to report all those tags and see what tags are already created.""We're doing user testing now, and on the calibration page, there's no publish button. I have to go to overview to publish it. It could be user error, but it would be nice to be able to easily figure out where buttons are and what they do.""Eightfold could be improved if they had more round table conversations about features and their roadmap. They should actively seek out feedback from their customers.""We have had a couple of challenges with some of the things that we're currently trying to build out in our HCM application, and other things within the portfolio, but those aren't customer-facing issues.""Eightfold could be improved by focusing on the employee experience. It is important that Eightfold understands how it forms part of the entire experience, especially as they continue to scale. Eightfold should make sure they understand how it connects with other solutions in our technology ecosystem to drive the full user experience.""From my perspective, I think the usability could use some attention. Eightfold.ai offers modules for talent acquisition, talent management, and other areas like projects. They try to use a common UI for all of them, but it really needs to be more persona-based. That's the thing that I struggle with the most.""An opportunity for Eightfold to improve on is to open up their environment to allow us to own our application maintenance and development environment. We would like to be able to make some of the configuration changes and improvements ourselves."

More Eightfold Talent Intelligence Platform Cons →

"SuccessFactors feels rigid. It should be more streamlined. Also, the interface design is outdated and needs an upgrade.""Analytics could use some work.""Visual representations, in the form of graphs and charts, can be added. This is beneficial for both management and employees. Upon accessing the system, they should generate graphical representations on their dashboard. These visuals illustrate aspects such as company-wide training progress and current company training status. The information encompasses both company-related data and personal profiles. This approach makes it convenient to grasp the company's profile along with individual information.""The GUI needs to be enhanced to be in line with the latest and complete version of the solution.""Language settings in the solution need to be improved.""I find that the website sometimes has problems loading, but I'm unsure if it's an issue with SuccessFactors. After the login, there are some connection issues. We get some errors telling us that it cannot connect to the host.""User experience for this solution needs to be improved.""We would like to see improvement in the initial launch of the product, as it is currently quite slow."

    Reviews from Real Users

    “We are using it for a lot of things: HR, performance management, and learning management. There are a lot of features embedded in SuccessFactors. We recently implemented a learning platform that employs the individual staff to actually manage their own learning. They can do it at their own pace. SuccessFactors allows you to manage your team, have calibration for promotion, and you can generate reports and see how you're doing.” - Alaba O., IT Asset Management Lead at Dangote Industries Limited

HR and managers can use the succession and development tool to create career paths and staff development plans. When combined with the learning tool, these development objectives can help employees gain the skills they need to advance their careers within the company.” - Yamen Z., SAP Project Manager at a manufacturing company
