Find out in this report how the two Cloud HCM solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"The report builder and dashboard builder are very, very good."
"The solution is beneficial overall."
"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."
"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 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."
"I think HCM was the most stable for me...It is a very scalable product."
"We have features such as ABKRS based on the client's requirement, tariff and TMSTA, and so on."
"It is a scalable solution. There are three administrators maintaining the solution: an HR person, a payroll person, and one backup."
"The integration between the different models like personnel administration, work management, payroll, and time management are the most valuable and key features."
"The compliance management functionality is quite good."
"We have managed to consolidate our payroll for all India operations on this platform."
"Payroll processing is my favorite HCM feature, and I like all the SuccessFactors talent modules also. SAP is making good progress on enhancements to the features in the SF modules."
"They provide the most stable and powerful technology in the areas of human resources, information systems, and ERP."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"In my opinion, the performance management module of this system could use improvement as it falls behind compared to other specialized performance management platforms."
"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."
"Its stability could be better."
"There are already success factors for the cloud solution which cannot be integrated into S/4 HANA."
"The breadth of functionality offered by SAP HCM comes at a cost."
"The organizational structure visualization could be improved in future releases. The solution has a very poor interface."
"It needs a lot of end user training as it is not intuitive at all."
"System usability is a challenge."
"We find some challenges in the integration between SAP HCM and SAP SuccessFactors."
"SAP now does the most innovation for the cloud solution and less innovation for the on-premises client."
"The speed of technical support can be improved."
