When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about hr & payroll, SAP SuccessFactors ranks #7 of 15, a Visibility Score of 23 in HR & Payroll (and appears in 2 categories of the index).
These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. The live-web grounded surface is rolling out across the index. Methodology.
SAP SuccessFactors fills seats on lists, never heads them.
Where it wins. Its best showing is HR & Payroll at rank 6 with a 26% mention rate, meaning the models know the name well enough to include it when assembling a roster of tools.
Where it loses. Across all three categories, first-pick rate sits at 0%, and in Corporate Learning it ranks 14th of 15 with only a 15% mention rate, signaling that AI models treat it as padding rather than a genuine recommendation, particularly when prompts require a specific fit or a single choice.
