How is success factor different from its competitors

Whereas Taleo offers its solutions in a more traditional “talent management” package,
SuccessFactors positions its products as a “business execution” suite by coupling essential
HR features with workforce analytics, collaboration and mobile functionality.

one of the biggest distinctions is that SuccessFactors integrates goal management into its
performance management solution, whereas Taleo treats goals as a separate module.

Its performance review features are designed around offering on-demand insight into
employee performance. Reviews themselves become less of an interrogation and more of a
dynamic exchange of feedback between managers and their team-members.

The “360 Reviews” bring multiple perspectives into assessments to create a full picture of
employee performance.

Additional modules offered by SuccessFactors are a team rater feature for easily
assessing/ranking team members across report criteria
It is meant to support managers in defining activities, discussion topics and
achievements -- as well as coaching and giving feedback -- that are
especially critical to motivating remote employees. SuccessFactors CPM
supports employees by providing updates on activities, discussing topics,
recording achievements and providing feedback.

Communication is a crucial aspect of managing and interacting with office-

based and remote employees.
As part of the SAP SuccessFactors Performance & Goals management
product, the vendor provides a Continuous Performance Management
(CPM) feature to facilitate a real-time, interactive channel for managers and
their employees concerning areas such as performance, goals and
activities. SuccessFactors CPM aims to ensure that work aligns to

The SuccessFactors goal feature helps organizations align employee goals and manage
these goals over time, strengthen accountability, and improve employee engagement.
