PayScale Payfactors vs. Sage HRMS

With their multiple compensation databases and the ability to quickly navigate and explore market matches, I can trust that the data is accurate and up-to-date and that I can confidently stand behind my recommendations after doing my in-the-box Payfactors work. PayScale is a company that continues to grow and develop by leaps and bounds , so getting onboard with them now is still essentially the ground floor of something incredible.

• I am not seeing an easy way to produce or export compensation summaries for multiple roles at once. I have to pull up multiple at once.
• The ERD and HRMA reports are in totally different formats and they don't have the same parameters to fine-tune matches.
• To be honest, I look forward to exploring more built-in features in 2024. It is a great program!

• We changed our chart of accounts. The system does not allow you to change the numbering format, so we had to start over with new databases.
• The tax return portion of the software does not file local taxes. We would definitely like to see this functionality in the future.
• The payroll piece does not handle complicated move up and move downs for union pay. This could definitely be improved upon.

I do not work with this software anymore, and I am not involved with the renewal of it. However, if I were, I would still suggest using it unless something better was introduced

I continue to use both CompAnalyst and Payfactors simultaneously and they both have many pros and few cons. PayScale seems to have more advanced capabilities and has more robust user-provided tweaking and cutting-edge features. The access to multiple databases is also a major benefit. While the look and feel of Payfactors seems more "21st century" than CompAnalyst, I have to say that CompAnalyst has some very intuitive features, like the ability to select many matches, add them to a list, and then export the lot of them in a single Excel file, that I do enjoy and that I don't believe Payfactors can match. That would be one drawback, however this doesn't really affect the end results, which are incredible, it just changes the path to get there a little bit.

Sage HRMS was very cost effective for a non-profit. It does all that we needed as a company and more. It also allows us to handle payroll ourselves instead of outsourcing [it].
