The ability to customize and create fields and pages the way you need! After learning how to create fields and organize page layout including related list, we were able to streamline activities that took multiple hours to just condense the information in one area. We now no longer need to look through multiple files just to find information. We save a ton of time by setting up views to our team's needs. Love the trailhead site and the ability to look up how others have fixed an issue and take courses to become proficient in building workflows and other training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Sage People? The initial training leaves a lot to be desired. I wish we learned more robustly what we could do earlier on vs finding out much later and needed to revision processes. Actions have consequences across different areas in Sage. It's difficult to test out new functionality across the different apps and items unless you've memorized all locations of where a field lives and what it feeds. It's also difficult to make updates when you cannot easily find the setting location of your forms, apps, or items. It feels like some functions are really buried. They haven't figured out how to individualize security access by records, this would be wonderful if you have a complicated organization where some users need access to some records but not all. Also, files and notes are searchable which makes security difficult if any uses can see files/notes by searching. Wish you can skip around on the course training to look up specific instructions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Sage People: Be clear with your expectations of functionality and what you want to learn during the implementation stage. We struggled because everything we wanted to learn about seemed "out of scope" of implementation and it was difficult to get the most value out of our time when we didn't know what to address and what we should learn about as quickly as possible. This setback had a negative effect on our team's ability to successfully implement the system to our users. Know what you want out of the system and speak upfront with your implementation expert to ensure everyone knows who is doing what. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Sage People solving and how is that benefiting you? Better people management, actual analyzing of data. Process efficiency, team effort quality increase. Time to spend on face-to-face interaction. Our data is centralized and considered the golden record for our department. Having everything stored in one system where you can search everything, is such a time saver and helps all of our team members stay on the same page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are assigned a Customer Success Manager who is always very helpful and Support team is excellent. Other salesforce apps don't come close to the support offered by Sage People. They have extensive documentation and a customer community to lean on. They offer training initially during implementation and you can pay for extra training. You can pay for Sage to do configuration or projects for you. The system is very flexible and customizable. We can create and send data files on a schedule through SFTP to benefit and payroll providers. We can request enhancements and most get done in a reasonable time. Every quarter there are vast improvements in new features and enhancements so the system only gets better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Sage People? Admin functions are difficult for the average user without much training and some items require salesforce admin training to build automation and new fields because it's too technical. CSMs and Support do help in this area. New features often take effort to implement and it does take time to manage, whereas some prebuilt packages are less effort, but you also don't get to customize. Sage People does not handle everything we need to do, such as payroll processing and a learning management system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Sage People: Customization and flexibility comes at the price of time and training with Sage People. There very few requests that cannot be added by ourselves and enhancements are taken seriously by Sage. They are always wanted to solve our problems and gather feedback to enhance and meet our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Sage People solving and how is that benefiting you? Automating onboarding and emails that HR and payroll don't have to send one by one. Adding custom forms, custom interface to users. Customization to our terminology and branding and processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Content Manager Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 11/13/2019 "Switched from ADP - very userfriendly" 5/5 What do you like best about Sage People? I like that the home page is completely modifiable and so it can be clean and organized and designed however relevant for your company. What I think is really practical and helpful that I haven't seen before with another platform like this is it shows you right when you click on 'vacation and absence' how many hours of accrued paid time off you have after future requests. In the past, I've had to count manually for figure it out. This platform is easier than ADP in that the interface is less busy and more straightforward. It was quick to submit a request of time off. I like that it shows you each month in a calendar view so you can see it an overview glance all the dates you have time off or the dates that are holidays. It also has a mobile version so you can do everything from your phone. It's very convenient to have all benefit information in one place including health care documents, policies, etc. Everything is straightforward and organized. You can also review and acknowledge review of company policies on this platform which cuts down on paper waste and increases efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
