Find out in this report how the two Benefits Administration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is beneficial overall."
"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 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."
"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's initial setup was straightforward."
"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 payroll and time management features are useful."
"The master data where most of the reports were run from was the most valuable. We were quite satisfied with this module."
"We have managed to consolidate our payroll for all India operations on this platform."
"It has the best data management features."
"All of the core processes are very valuable aspects of the solution. These include personnel, administration, organizational structure, and payroll."
"Recently, the localization versions for different countries were increased, and that added value to the solution."
"We've found that the solution has the capability to scale."
"HCM is a very important module that each organization should want to use. It will help any organization to calculate and control the cost of their human resources."
"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."
"There were a couple of things that we wanted to customize, but we couldn’t do it ourselves."
"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 technical support could have been better."
"The user interface is not great."
"The budget module does not work. Sage People need to maybe make it more user-friendly."
"SAP HCM cannot integrate with other third-party applications. One of the drawbacks we encounter with SAP HCM, specifically in payroll management, is the limitation regarding changing payroll areas within the same month. For instance, if an employee transitions from staff to non-staff status during the month, we face difficulties because the system doesn't allow us to change the payroll."
"It would be nice if the solution migrated to S/4HANA."
"The product's learning and development features could be better, including new exclusive LMS tools."
"There needs to be a renovation of the interface and functionalities of the talent management modules."
"It takes a long time to apply an update patch to the system."
"System usability is a challenge."
"SAP HCM could improve by having more resources and making it more user-friendly. It is complex."
"HCM could improve compatibility, making it more accessible via web applications and graphical interfaces."
