Has all-inclusive pricing and good talent acquisition and onboarding components, and is an excellent product for mid-sized to large organizations
They could probably add surveying, as in engagement surveys, to their product. That would be something that would be valued by their customers. For instance, Culture Amp is a product that does a lot of the engagement stuff. They're diversifying into other aspects of talent management. It is not yet at the same scale as PageUp People, but it is an excellent product as well.

We benefit from built-in automations like notifications and standard processes, but customer support needs improvement
Learning Sympa HR was a mix of basics that were easy to grasp and some aspects that required more understanding due to customization. While it adapted to some of our specific needs, there were still areas that needed further tailoring, especially in integrations with other systems like Zoom. Currently, we're not using AI features in Sympa, but we're considering it as a future project to automate manual tasks in HR, although we're mindful of data privacy concerns when integrating AI tools with confidential personal data. I would rate Sympa HR at a seven out of ten. While it has some fundamental issues like allowing multiple leave applications for the same dates, it also offers a nice user experience. I would recommend it with reservations. If you're clear about your needs and can manage some shortcomings, it's a good option. However, if you require more reliable system support, you might want to explore other alternatives.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This product is user-friendly and great for reporting purposes."
"It provides a centralised repository of information for various HR functions."
"PageUp has a different model from other organizations; as part of their pricing structure, they tend to work with you very closely and not charge you for the setup, so there is one price all inclusive of setup, and for that reason, they become an attractive provider to work with."
"I loved that function, as it made it SO much easier to work out the logistics of those days, and allowing candidates to book their own time slot was a lifesaver as it would have been a nightmare trying to do it for them."
"PageUp has allowed us to integrate all HR systems and manage all processes associated with the employee lifecycle from recruitment through to managing performance, learning and development; also where applicable, departures from the organisation processes."
"I have recommended PageUp to a lot of my networks due to the fact that it is one of the best systems on the market in terms of functionality, support, and reporting capability."
"Once automated through the system, the approval timeframe decreased to two days."
"The talent acquisition and the onboarding components of the system are most valuable."
"Sympa HR was helpful since it helped me manage HR master data in a single system."
"One of my favorite features of Sympa HR is its customization options. You can tailor it to meet your specific needs, which is really beneficial for HR processes."
 

Cons

"Maybe there is a need to improve the interface so that we will be able to easily search for modules in regards to the system fix."
"There are sometimes problems when loading the system; it can be very slow."
"Initially, we experienced issues with the stability of the learning management module as we migrated 50,000+ existing training records from our old system."
"The automated removal of historical data would be great if the user could remove it on an ad-hoc basis when required."
"They could probably add surveying, as in engagement surveys, to their product. That would be something that would be valued by their customers. For instance, Culture Amp is a product that does a lot of the engagement stuff. They're diversifying into other aspects of talent management. It is not yet at the same scale as PageUp People, but it is an excellent product as well."
"It is probably not as scalable as SAP SuccessFactors or other talent management systems that are available in the global marketplace."
"Personally, I believe that they could be more proactive in assuring that, as a client, you are getting the best ROI possible."
"In the Boolean search functions, I would like to be able to search CVs in regards to the skills using the AND/OR functions as well as keywords."
"Sympa HR has some fundamental issues like allowing multiple leave applications for the same dates. That needs improvement."
"As a developer, I can say that some of Sympa HR's back-end functionalities, like the API systems, aren't fully fledged or modern enough, a downside of which Sympa is aware."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PageUp has a different model from other organizations. As part of their pricing structure, they tend to work with you very closely and not charge you for the setup. So, there is one price all inclusive of setup, and for that reason, they become an attractive provider to work with. Here in Australia, the education sector has gravitated very heavily towards PageUp."
