Find out in this report how the two Benefits Administration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"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."
"Compared to the other system that we were using, I think Sage is more friendly. As an administrator, Sage's dashboard is visually friendly and many tasks are easier to accomplish. Another feature that we've liked since we started using Sage is the reporting. With the other system, we needed to configure a lot of things manually when it came to reporting, but with Sage the reporting tasks are much simpler."
"The solution's initial setup was straightforward."
"I guess I would say maybe that it is a more robust system."
"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 tool's best feature is SAP SuccessFactors."
"The integration with our payroll system could improve. However, it is managed by another company."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Its stability could be better."
"It is a bit tedious and manual to work with."

"There are already success factors for the cloud solution which cannot be integrated into S/4 HANA."
"The product's learning and development features could be better, including new exclusive LMS tools."
"The current platform is quite rigid and not as flexible and end-user friendly as other HR solutions."
"This solution needs to be more configurable and user-friendly."
