"It's really easy to use and has a simple interface."

More Kronos Workforce Central Software [EOL] 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.""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 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.""The solution is beneficial overall.""The solution's initial setup was straightforward.""The solution provides the ability to trace back records, is reliable, makes life easy, and is secure.""The most valuable feature of Sage People is the integration with our payroll system.""I guess I would say maybe that it is a more robust system."

Cons
"The networking could use improvement."

More Kronos Workforce Central Software [EOL] 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.""Its stability could be better.""The user interface is not great.""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.""The integration with our payroll system could improve. However, it is managed by another company.""Its technical support could have been better.""In my opinion, the performance management module of this system could use improvement as it falls behind compared to other specialized performance management platforms.""There were a couple of things that we wanted to customize, but we couldn’t do it ourselves."

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."
