The Learning experience platform (LXP) market is growing very quickly. A few years ago, we saw a few startups pioneering a new way to drive corporate learning. Since then the market has exploded exponentially to over $300M and is growing steadily at 50% year on year (according to Josh Bersin).

DeveLoop was built with a similar vision – to help dynamic L&D professionals to handcraft the best learning experiences for their employees. While staying true to the vision, over the last three years, DeveLoop has been constantly enhanced to meet the changing needs of the market, resulting in a holistic, robust employee development platform. Today, DeveLoop’s offering includes personalized Learning Journeys, continuous 360-degree feedback, Cavis coach bot and intelligent AI-driven recommendations amongst its suite of features.

SuccessFactors is SAP’s HCM suite which is a more horizontal HR solution that aims to provide a one-stop solution for all the HR modules across – payroll, recruitment, learning, performance and HR analytics.

This article will aim to compare DeveLoop’s learning experience platform with that of SAP SuccessFactors’ learning module.

DeveLoop

Over their three year journey, the primary focus has been to build something that has the potential to make a visible business impact.

DeveLoop’s comprehensive adaptive learning platform places its core emphasis on “experience-first”.

With that said, a logical way to make this an apple-to-apple comparison is to really breakdown the offering from the perspective of an employee, a manager, and the leadership. And of course, do the same breakdown for SuccessFactors’ LMS offering.
