Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The hiring process is good. It will create a process-oriented procedure in terms of hiring, promotion, the movement of people, and other related HR tasks.""It has the capability of reporting. We, as a business team, found it good. In fact, we migrated to PeopleStrong essentially because of its reporting feature.""The product has valuable flexibility for customization, user interface, and search capabilities.""Some of the most valuable features are the onboarding experience of new employees, the employee service portal, and the entire performance management system.""The mobile responsiveness is strong.""The UI and UX are fantastic.""PeopleStrong Alt is flexible because it allows customization and the user's experience is very good."

More PeopleStrong Pros →

"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 report builder and dashboard builder are very, very good.""The solution is beneficial overall.""The most valuable feature of Sage People is the integration with our payroll system.""The solution provides the ability to trace back records, is reliable, makes life easy, and is secure.""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.""I guess I would say maybe that it is a more robust system.""Without a doubt, the most valuable aspect of this solution is the reports, as it offers endless possibilities for report customization. You can easily build any report you can imagine with this system."

More Sage People Pros →

"Overall, it's excellent performance management.""The performance and goal management is good, and it has a fairly detailed employee central.""This solution has always been stable for me.""The features of the solution that I found valuable for my business are its ability to create a dashboard, pie charts, and reporting functions, as well as advanced reporting capabilities.""The most important feature is the ability to follow up on the yearly performance of the team. It's very good for management to understand how people are performing.""What I appreciate most about SAP SuccessFactors is that it has all the modules in one platform. SAP SuccessFactors is the best option in the market for HR use cases. I also find the solution user-friendly.""The interface is user-friendly. It is very simple and intuitive, so it's good.""The overall functionality of the solution is very good."

More SAP SuccessFactors Pros →

Cons
"It would be helpful if you could work offline because sometimes, we have problems with internet connectivity.""The solution's workflow can improve by adding more customization at the organizational level.""They could include a sort of collaborative platform where employees are able to work together with a chat mechanism like WhatsApp and video chat.""They had challenges getting the performance management system up and integrated with our systems.""The global scalability and support could improve.""They could improve talent management capabilities.""Sometimes, we feel that we should have an API-based integration aspect."

More PeopleStrong Cons →

"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.""Right now, Sage doesn't seem to have what we are looking for when it comes to managing HR tickets. In my previous experiences with other HR software, we had to buy another solution to obtain this functionality, and it would be a great feature for Sage to consider adding. For an HR system, Sage would do very well to include it.""There were a couple of things that we wanted to customize, but we couldn’t do it ourselves.""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.""In my opinion, the performance management module of this system could use improvement as it falls behind compared to other specialized performance management platforms.""Its technical support could have been better.""The budget module does not work. Sage People need to maybe make it more user-friendly.""The integration with our payroll system could improve. However, it is managed by another company."

More Sage People Cons →

"SuccessFactors should consider building their best practices around critical industries to help companies become more differentiated in the markets they operate in.""It's a bit complicated to make a change in the tool... It is time-consuming.""One area for improvement is making SuccessFactors more compatible with other countries, especially in terms of payroll and other functionalities.""The reporting tool is not as good as IBM Cognos which is very, very powerful.""We have many interruptions and disconnection points into processes, which is why we are looking to another solution. We are not so happy with the system. We believe we have in the market better solution, so we are looking for alternatives but so far the system has been used a lot.""LMS, Learning Management Systems, needs improvement because there were some stability problems.""It is not that user-friendly. It can be made more user-friendly.""Everything, including the provisioning dependency, should be moved to the instance, and coding should be kept to a minimum. Wherever possible, coding should be minimized, and everything should be a drag-and-drop."

  • "The product has reasonable pricing."
  • "The pricing is reasonable."
  • More PeopleStrong 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."
  • More Sage People Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The licensing fees are based on the number of modules that are being used, and the number of users."
  • "I don't want to comment on the license cost, to be honest. It could be about $1,000 approximately per customer. However, it's very flexible in terms of the licensing costs depending on the volume and depending on the deal of installation."
  • "If you go by best practices and do it right from the outset, the setup won't be a costly endeavor. In terms of setup, there is a lot of flexibility compared to three years ago."
  • "It could be cheaper."
  • "We have a yearly license. There are no additional costs."
  • "SAP SuccessFactors requires an annual subscription."
  • "It is not expensive because it is a complete suite with a module-based cost."

    Reviews from Real Users

    “We are using it for a lot of things: HR, performance management, and learning management. There are a lot of features embedded in SuccessFactors. We recently implemented a learning platform that employs the individual staff to actually manage their own learning. They can do it at their own pace. SuccessFactors allows you to manage your team, have calibration for promotion, and you can generate reports and see how you're doing.” - Alaba O., IT Asset Management Lead at Dangote Industries Limited
