Our company did leave Sage but please know that it wasn't b/c we wanted it to happen. We did not like Oracle and it was so broken. > > **Cons**: That we could not keep the platform. It worked well with our site and our production teams. I was very impressed by the customer service along with the ability to use the system with ease. > > Overall was a great experience and was in the system daily being the leader of HR. I ran reports, worked on analytics and other strategies surrounding staffing ----- ### "Sage does have great features" — 4.0/5 > **Audra** | *13 February 2026* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Employee Mngmt and Payroll features, it added ease to my payroll process by tracking all past events > > **Cons**: DOnt have any yet im still experiencing it and the features in full mode and hoopefully i get more pros then cons > > I have always like sage products especially for legal aspect tracking and when this was developed I loved how it linked with our other platforms. ----- ### "Overly Complex HR System With a Difficult Learning Curve" — 3.0/5 > **Shawna** | *15 December 2025* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: Sage People has extensive functionality and strong potential for organizations that need deep HR tracking, reporting, and global compliance. Once everything is configured properly, it can handle complex HR workflows and large-scale workforce needs. > > **Cons**: The system is extremely difficult to learn, navigate, and customize. Even simple updates require multiple clicks and often feel buried in menus. Configuration is so technical that you almost need an in-house Sage expert to make ongoing changes. The interface is dated, slow, and unintuitive, and employees frequently struggle with basic tasks like requesting PTO or updating their information. Instead of supporting HR, it often slows processes down. > > Overall, Sage People felt like more of an administrative burden than a solution. Despite its extensive capabilities, everyday use is clunky and demanding. The time spent training, troubleshooting, and managing the system outweighs the benefits. For modern HR teams, there are far more user-friendly systems that accomplish the same goals without the frustration. ----- ### "Sage People" — 5.0/5 > **Yewande** | *11 November 2025* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I got value for money as it captured all my employees information, and it was easy to use and navigate different modules > > **Cons**: Payroll, we could not use sage for payroll directly, we had to try manual process to get through the payroll process > > I have a great experience as it was easy to learn and the customer support was top notch whenever I experienced bugs and issues ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/393872/sage-people?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/393872/sage-people) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
