Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features are the reporting and benefits piece.""The way that ADP helped us improve our organization is by making the payroll process clean and efficient because if you make a mistake there, you're in big trouble.""The most valuable feature to me is performance management because we just started using that.""The platform is on a private cloud that is fully secure with no way for hacker penetration.""It is a scalable solution.""In my day-to-day work, attendance tracking would be most important. That's because I have a really diverse group of employees, and I have a subset of younger folks who are struggling with their attendance. So, that's the thing that I'm most involved with currently."

"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 guess I would say maybe that it is a more robust system.""The solution is beneficial overall.""The report builder and dashboard builder are very, very good.""The solution provides the ability to trace back records, is reliable, makes life easy, and is secure.""The solution's initial setup was straightforward.""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."

Cons
"When I'm not working with the implementation team and I'm just talking to customer service or something, they're just not a lot of help. They don't understand how it works. They'll tell you to do something that I know would affect something else. So, it's less about the software and more about just training their folks to a higher level.""The report functionality is not as good as competitive products.""I would like to see the payroll side improved and there are a few kinks that need to be worked out.""The ease of developing and creating reports could definitely use some improvement.""Its benefits portal could be user-friendly."

More ADP Workforce Now 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.""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.""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 user interface is not great.""The integration with our payroll system could improve. However, it is managed by another company.""Its stability could be better.""Its technical support could have been better."

  • "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."
