Our company reviewed eFront Learning and SAP Litmos. It was really between these two vendors. They were rated pretty well and were very comparable. eFront Learning was priced better than SAP Litmos. It was also more structured for portfolios, which was better aligned with the …

Unfortunately I have not had the chance to try other products, however I would think eFront would stack up fairly well against competitors and it provides all the necessary tools to stay compliant and excel at having efficient KICs.
Chose eFront Learning
I inherited eFront from an employee who chose the product and left before the project got started. I can't fairly compare it to anything else.

User Testimonials

It is great to always be able to learn new concepts through great software portals, such as eFront Learning. The best aspect of the software is that it is very easily customizable in every way. If the company deals with various portfolios, this system offers great features to utilize for everyone in the organization.

It is a strong system that pays off once it's fully tailored to your organization. If your company has well-defined HR processes, SuccessFactors will likely integrate seamlessly. We've automated processes that previously required departments to spend weeks on back-and-forth emails. We've partnered with Capgemini to fully suck out the most out of its technical customization.

Cons
  • Merging this software may be difficult and cumbersome at times
  • Reporting features can be worked on for better and easier usability

  • I think just overall the configuration can be a little bit hard on the backend user, like myself, knowing which screens to go to. Better documentation on how we configure things would be a great resource for employees in the HR field that are making those backend changes.

Familiarity and efficiency of using the tool factor in to my rating. It has helped us over the three years of being used to identify multiple risks and it has led to us eliminate those risks in an efficient manner.

We have put a vast amount of time and effort into our installation- and there is more work to be done, but the system has a lot of benefits that we plan to maximize and optimize in order to generate the greatest value for everyone involved

Usability
For most situations, it is extremely easy to learn and use. There are ergonomic issues that seem a bit tedious, but overall, we are seeing a very high success rate with new registrants. They are learning the material and earning their certificates at a rapid pace. This is a good program once it is properly installed by a knowledgeable systems architect.

SAP SuccessFactors is great from a user perspective I think where we hold ourselves back in lack of rolling out new features internally and configuration. Overall product is good and offering is complete with minimal application of external vendors to manage individual needs.

Reliability and Availability
No answers on this topic
Until now we have not had serious availability problems with SuccessFactors, we had Microsoft Active Directory and SSO with ADFS and we had availability problems but because of problems with ADFS, we migrated to Azure AD and with that the availability problems of SuccessFactors because of ADFS went away. The only windows of unavailability that we have had are those that we are communicated to do maintenance and upgrades.

Performance

The performance is very good, the truth is that we have not had serious performance problems, some complex reports may take a little longer, but considering the complexity and the amount of records it is an acceptable time. We have never received a complaint from users regarding page loading speed.

Support Rating
Two disadvantages: 1. Many staffers who respond don't know how to solve the problem using the User Interface - they want to work from the back end, to which I have no access. 2. The support staff are in Europe and I am in California, so there is an overnight delay in getting a response.

SAP SuccessFactors has been a easy to implement tool with low risks for a sensitive thing like employee feedback. It provides powerful performance in the backend functionalities, and at the same time a great look and feel for the employees. Totally recommended.

I'm not the most technical person, so some of the training didn't make sense to me. It wasn't a complete training - it was more topical. The people working at EFront were happy to answer my questions later when I resorted to learning it by doing. This was very valuable to me.

We use SAP Learning, and we like it very much, the topics are updated along with the products, we have access to the SFX customer certifications and we have done them all, in general the SAP learning platform is very good and complete.

Implementation Rating
It's important to have a robust course catalog before launching. Courses should be QC'ed to be sure there are no errors or other problems. Don't let engineers write quiz questions! Remember that well-formed quiz questions are not designed to trick or fool the user - they are used to reinforce learning through repetition of important concepts. The "grade" isn't as important as the assurance the information has stuck.

Key insights for a successful SAP SuccessFactors implementation center on Change Management, ensuring user adoption through early stakeholder engagement and robust training; Business Process Design, which requires defining clear strategic objectives, leveraging best practices, and meticulous integration planning with existing systems; and Strong Project Execution, which involves securing leadership buy-in, allocating the right resources, defining measurable success metrics, and carefully managing the complex task of data migration and quality.

SAP SuccessFactors is a very user-friendly application, it stacks up very well against competition, such as Oracle PeopleSoft HCM. We selected SAP SuccessFactors because we are already using a lot of other SAP solutions, such as SAP S/4 HANA and SAP Business Technology Platform. It allows us to have single-sign on and one vendor with multiple solutions.
