Pros
"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 is beneficial overall.""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 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.""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.""The solution's initial setup was straightforward.""I guess I would say maybe that it is a more robust system.""The report builder and dashboard builder are very, very good."

Cons
"Its stability could be better.""The budget module does not work. Sage People need to maybe make it more user-friendly.""Its technical support could have been better.""There were a couple of things that we wanted to customize, but we couldn’t do it ourselves.""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.""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 integration with our payroll system could improve. However, it is managed by another company."

More Sage People Cons →

"We have had issues with respect to incidents.""The solution should focus more on user experience and less on the technical side.""Currently, the product's payroll feature works only in four countries. It should work for more countries.""The solution should enhance its flexibility and promptly incorporate the brainstormed ideas into the upcoming releases. Typically, after their brainstorming session, it takes one or two update cycles for the changes to reflect in the tenant.""It would be good if the solution provided more extensive training sessions.""The tool has certain shortcomings when it comes to its integration capabilities with other systems in our company, making it an area where improvements are required."

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."

  • "Each module comes with an additional cost. It operates on a mid-price model. So, there is an additional payment for each module needed. The solution might be costlier for smaller companies, making it more suitable for mid to large-sized enterprises."
  • "The solution’s pricing is better than SAP SuccessFactors."
