If one judges it solely by how close the Nazi's Final Solution came to exterminating Jewry, then it came frighteningly close to completion.
Worldwide, the Holocaust killed about 35% of all Jews that were alive in 1939 (6 out of 16.5 million). In terms of European & Russian Jews, it killed close to 70% (6 out of 9 million), with over 99% of Polish Jews being murdered (almost all 3 million).
In brutal terms, the Final Solution was extremely effective - killing 6 million Jews (plus about another 6 million non-Jews) via death squads and gas chambers in a period of about 4 years speaks of the incredible amount of organization and effort that the Nazi's dedicated to this horrific purpose.
However, I would never use the word "successful" in conjunction with the Holocaust, for obvious reasons.
