Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The mobile responsiveness is strong.""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 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.""The UI and UX are fantastic.""PeopleStrong Alt is flexible because it allows customization and the user's experience is very good.""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."

More PeopleStrong Pros →

"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 provides the ability to trace back records, is reliable, makes life easy, and is secure.""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 most valuable feature of Sage People is the integration with our payroll 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 report builder and dashboard builder are very, very good.""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."

More Sage People Pros →

"This solution has automatic linking and reporting features. Upgrades are hassle-free because you don't need to change everything from scratch, when compared to Meta4.""This solution has always been stable for me.""The functionality and user friendliness are constantly improving.""The tool has a unique talent management platform.""The SuccessFactors learning applications within the SuccessFactors learning modules, as well as the performance management system, are highly beneficial for each and every employee in our organization. These tools eliminate the need for using Excel to manage data, allowing for direct input into the system. This streamlines the process, making it easier to view and analyze information. We can readily access our performance history, comparing our actions and achievements from the previous year. At present, we are consistently monitoring our day-to-day performance.""One of the most wonderful features is the ability to customize the modules and workflows. So far, we've done a fair bit of customization and it is helping us a lot and really adds to the value we already get from SuccessFactors.""This solution can be used for reporting related to employee information and contacts""The initial setup was pretty simple."

More SAP SuccessFactors Pros →

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

More PeopleStrong Cons →

"Its technical support could have been better.""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 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.""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.""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 user interface is not great."

More Sage People Cons →

"The initial setup could be simplified.""Overall, the documentation could be improved, and I think the learning management module needs to include more capabilities when it comes to matching an organization's particular learning approach.""Visual representations, in the form of graphs and charts, can be added. This is beneficial for both management and employees. Upon accessing the system, they should generate graphical representations on their dashboard. These visuals illustrate aspects such as company-wide training progress and current company training status. The information encompasses both company-related data and personal profiles. This approach makes it convenient to grasp the company's profile along with individual information.""The data management part can be improved in terms of how you can manage data from the HR admin's or HR team's perspective. It has some limitations in the reporting part in terms of how you can update the data and fetch the data. SAP HCM comparatively has a lot of capabilities in terms of backup loads, data management, data changes, etc. You can do these things easily, which is not the case with SAP SuccessFactors. Data management should be simplified in SAP SuccessFactors in terms of accessing the data, reporting, and then manipulating the data.""SuccessFactors should consider building their best practices around critical industries to help companies become more differentiated in the markets they operate in.""To explain one feature that I would like to see in SuccessFactors, I must describe a similar feature as seen in Oracle. In Oracle, there's a feature called Workforce Prediction, and with this feature, we can predict some of the behaviors of any employee. For example, the software can attempt to predict whether the employee might resign in future, or perhaps if they will start to perform better. This is something that is missing in SuccessFactors.""We would like to see improvement in the initial launch of the product, as it is currently quite slow.""SAP SuccessFactors could improve the integration. It is not simple to integrate and it needs to be made easier."

  • "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

HR and managers can use the succession and development tool to create career paths and staff development plans. When combined with the learning tool, these development objectives can help employees gain the skills they need to advance their careers within the company.” - Yamen Z., SAP Project Manager at a manufacturing company
