"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 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 most valuable feature of Sage People is the integration with our payroll 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.""The solution is beneficial overall."

Cons
"The solution's interface is really, really old and requires improvements...Cornerstone should use newer technologies to improve its UI, UX, and content.""We're using different tools like tracking systems, exploring workforce management, and also using payroll, which is another tool, so we need to know where exactly the information is present. This feature needs improvement in the next release.""The recruitment module can be improved and also the general reporting can be improved."

More Cornerstone HR Suite Cons →

"The budget module does not work. Sage People need to maybe make it more user-friendly.""In my opinion, the performance management module of this system could use improvement as it falls behind compared to other specialized performance management platforms.""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.""The user interface is not great.""Its stability could be better.""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 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."

  • "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."
