Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features of the solution are organogram and position-based mapping.""In our company, we use DarwinBox to maintain the data of our employees and for recruitment purposes.""The solution that we used previously was very complex. As a result, without referring to the manuals and consulting an expert, it was difficult for a newly hired employee to navigate the platform. However, this is not the case with Darwinbox. It has a very intuitive user interface, and anyone can use it and implement it without having to use a guide or a walk through process. It's very simple."

"I guess I would say maybe that it is a more robust system.""The most valuable feature of Sage People is the integration with our payroll system.""The report builder and dashboard builder are very, very good.""The reporting features are also very valuable because, on top of 300+ reports available on the system, you can also customize quite a number of reports.""Sage makes all the information accessible, like pulling a file because an employee needs something ASAP. It's all in the system. It's easy to find old reports if I need them for payroll purposes. It might take days to do some of this work by hand.""The solution provides the ability to trace back records, is reliable, makes life easy, and is secure.""The most valuable features of Sage People are the reports that are useful for decision-making and the API that can be integrated well. Additionally, the solution can be accessed from mobile devices onto the cloud.""The solution is beneficial overall."

Cons
"The solution's API integration with third-party applications should be improved.""DarwinBox is not a stable solution...DarwinBox is not a scalable solution.""Like most software, it has a base version, the vanilla, out-of-the-box version, and customization is required to match it to the unique processes of each company. The Darwinbox team seems to be having difficulty with the customization process. They have to be a little more mature to customize it as per every company's need."

More DarwinBox Cons →

"If Sage People were to become a fully cloud-based solution, it could lead to significant improvements. With the COVID pandemic highlighting the benefits of remote work, a complete shift to cloud-based functionality would be a welcome development for users.""The automation in Sage People could improve. The solution is the best used for data storage but the automation could be better to have more functionality.""The user interface is not great.""In my opinion, the performance management module of this system could use improvement as it falls behind compared to other specialized performance management platforms.""The integration with our payroll system could improve. However, it is managed by another company.""There were a couple of things that we wanted to customize, but we couldn’t do it ourselves.""Its technical support could have been better.""The budget module does not work. Sage People need to maybe make it more user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "My company makes some yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to DarwinBox."

  • More DarwinBox Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I believe we pay licensing on a yearly basis, but I can't comment on the total amount that we pay on licensing."
  • "From an SME standpoint, I wouldn't necessarily describe it as expensive. However, for the average startup, it may not be affordable since our current annual expenditure on the system, which supports approximately 210-220 users, amounts to approximately £15,000 to £18,000."
  • "The cost of Sage People varies depending on the financial resources of the organization. While it may be affordable for middle-level companies, it may be more challenging for young companies to bear the cost."
  • "There is other software on the market that can do similar functions to Sage People that could be better in price. Some solution allows you to do your payroll processes by month or by the process. Small companies could benefit by using another solution."
  • "We have to purchase the solution's license to use it."
  • "Its cost is moderate for a multi-group licensing model."
  • "The price of the solution is reasonable."
  • "The pricing is reasonable."
