“managing remote employees made as easy as managing office based employees

Pros

It is a great solution for tracking, engaging and managing remote employees, making it as simple as managing office-based workers. It's modular, so you're not overwhelmed by too many options. You only get the features you actually need without any unnecessary extras. The platform automates a lot of repetitive HR tasks and employees have secure, instant access to all the info they need through their personal logins.

Cons

It offers about seven different modules, including Core HR, Leave management and Recruitment. It really helps manage everything from onboarding to performance evaluations. Customizable workflows, in-depth reports and a user-friendly dashboard help businesses manage their workforce efficiently while keeping sensitive data secure. However, adding more modules like file management, could benefit certain teams like those working in research or science.

“No problem booking holidays

Pros

I find it very simple to book holidays. It makes managing time off a lot easier.

Cons

sometimes it's a bit difficult to find exactly what I'm looking for but it's not a huge problem.

“efficient free HR system

Pros

I'd say it works perfectly for our business. It handles annual leave in our company. It's super efficient and now all our staff is on an HR system. Plus, it's free!

Cons

It would be great if we had more telephone support options rather than relying solely on chat help.

“Top HR features with Sage HR

Pros

One of the things I appreciate about Sage HR is its excellent HR features, including performance management capabilities. I especially like the time, attendance, and applicant tracking features. Also, the fact that it includes employee scheduling and is mobile-friendly is a big plus.

Cons

I have no regrets after using Sage HR for quite some time now.

“Great experience with sage

Pros

The annual leave section makes managing a team so much easier. It really helps streamline the process and keeps everything organized.

Cons

Sometimes, I find the system a bit clunky and not very user-friendly.

“Exploring Isolved 2.0

Pros

It worked well for me and got the job done, although it did take some time to learn how to use it effectively.

Cons

There's a lot to learn if you're willing to invest the time.

“Trusted HR Platform for SMBs

Pros

Sage HR's simple and user-friendly interface is what I like about it the most. It's easy for both companies and employees to use. Plus, the support team is always available either through live chat or by scheduling a call.

Cons

Occasionally, I encounter login issues requiring me to re-log in, along with transaction errors from my location.

“Must-Have for payment scheduling

Pros

It is fantastic for keeping track of my employees' sickness, holidays, and out-of-office time. This is crucial for scheduling payment runs, and it's easy to see where all the staff in the business are located.

Cons

I can't think of anything negative to say about this product; it's incredibly useful.

“Smooth & simple to use

Pros

I appreciate that Sage HR is accessible on my mobile device, making it easy for me to view my pay slip and request annual leave.

Cons

When thinking about what I like least, nothing major comes to mind. The only thing I can think of is that the dashboard is visually overwhelming and could be simpler.

“Pricey but mostly easy to use

Pros

It's user-friendly, and the reports it generates are quite helpful.

Cons

The only downside would be the cost of the product.

“Smart and modern HR management solution

Pros

As someone involved in implementing the solution, I can say it's a decent HRM tool. Its seamless integration with other Sage solutions and external systems is commendable. While it mostly meets expectations, sometimes customization beyond the system's capabilities is required. Overall, it's a good tool.

Cons

In my experience with the solution, there's not much to dislike.

“Very user-friendly

Pros

Since the application is Salesforce-based, it is easy for the IT team to handle configuration tasks like change requests, setting up new processes, and creating reports.

Cons

The UX feels outdated; both employees and managers are not fond of it. It falls short of being the best in capabilities and processes.

“Smooth and user-centric application

Pros

By downloading the app, I have access to all the payslips and documentation I need.

Cons

I really have nothing negative to say about it. It’s simple to use.

“Packed with alot features

Pros

Employees having access to their payslips and leave requests saves me time on reprinting or following up. It also streamlines payroll processing, and I can quickly view the Org Chart to see reporting structures.

Cons

I don't have any complaints, but I would appreciate more training on the product.

“Reliable support

Pros

The announcement section and company view feature are such great additions. I find it really helpful to see employees by their face and name instead of just a basic list. It adds a personal touch and makes things easier to manage.

Cons

Setting it up correctly was challenging, and the customer service was poor and unhelpful. Since I'm in the U.S. and they are in the U.K., they always seemed unavailable. For instance, when I needed help at 1 PM on a Thursday, I was told they were closed and to expect a response on Monday. There's only a chat bot on the screen; there's no phone number to call. If you do call, you end up being transferred around until you reach someone who says to call another number, leading you to Canada, where they say you've dialed the wrong number.

“All-in-one tool for time tracking

Pros

Everything I need is consolidated in one place. I can track my work time, request time off, and access all my pay stubs since the beginning of my employment.

Cons

I wish it were a bit easier to print documents from Sage.

“Speeds up my workflow

Pros

The shift scheduling feature helps us optimize production without overloading employees. I appreciate the flexibility of being able to do this remotely, almost as if I'm in the office.

Cons

There's absolutely nothing lacking in this software; it makes interacting with daily work processes so easy, and I feel on top of my game since we started using it.

“Great HR team partner

Pros

Sage HR outperforms industry competitors and offers a more satisfying user experience. It works like a charm for managing staff efficiently.

Cons

Sage HR offers virtually everything a company needs to succeed. However, the interface could be improved to enhance the user experience.

“Highly recommended cloud HR Solution

Pros

Using Sage HR has been amazing, starting with its user-friendly interface. I find it easy to use and understand, even for first-timers.

Cons

I haven't encountered any negative impacts while using Sage HR.

“Why I'm a Fan of Sage HR

Pros

The document repository feature makes it easy to share documents with employees, which really helps streamline both communication and document management.

Cons

I believe the workflow and functionality could be enhanced. When trying to filter by location, after updating an employee, I have to return to the main page and reapply the filter for the location. It's not a big deal for one employee, but it becomes time-consuming when updating many. Additionally, Sage HR's workflow is very generic. I can create automated notices and tasks, but can't do much with them except complete them. I have more trust in Outlook tasks because they allow progress updates along the way. You can enter information in notes, but again, it requires several steps when it could be automated.
