Capable platform, needs a proper admin

Migration from our old system went cleanly and the data quality gains showed within weeks. Some workflows took two attempts to configure the way we wanted.

Solid, deep and dependable

Absence rules for each of our countries are configured once and just work. The days of manually checking whether someone in another office gets a public holiday are over.

Our account manager does a quarterly review that is genuinely useful rather than a sales call.

Cons

The performance module is solid but plain, no complaints on function, few compliments on style.

Six countries, one HR system, and reporting I no longer apologise for

We employ just over 700 people across the UK, Ireland, Germany and three smaller offices. Before Sage People every board pack involved chasing four spreadsheets and hoping the definitions matched. Now headcount, attrition and cost sit on one live dashboard and the numbers agree with themselves. Our account manager has been genuinely excellent, checks in quarterly with things we actually asked for.

Pros

The reporting engine is the single biggest win, anything the board asks for I can build myself the same day. Country specific absence rules mean German staff see German policies and UK staff see UK ones without us maintaining separate systems. Self service adoption was immediate, even among our field agents.

Cons

You need a proper administrator. We trained one of our HR team on the Salesforce side and she is now indispensable, which is both the pro and the con. Admin screens look their age in places.

Staff self service and absence handling are excellent. Recruiting module does the job but we may keep our specialist ATS anyway.

The API let us connect our BI tool so people data joins the company dashboards.

Some configuration needs partner involvement which slows small tweaks.

Better than what we had by miles

It does everything we scoped and more. The reason for four stars rather than five is the pace of support on complicated tickets.

Absence management across countries just works

We run it with a two person HR team plus a trained administrator and it hums. The upfront training investment paid back inside the first year.

HR requests are tracked queues with deadlines instead of an inbox lottery.

Cons

It is not the cheapest option and the annual uplift needs watching at renewal.

Audit ready at all times

The reporting alone justified the change. Questions from the executive team that used to take a week of spreadsheet work now take twenty minutes.

Mixed feelings a year in

Support quality varies with who picks up the ticket. Some responses are excellent, others read like the manual pasted back at us.
