    Sage
    Sage People is well suited to small-medium sized organizations that would like a cloud-based HR solution with no need for servers or software to install. I really like the fact that it is based on Salesforce.com so you know that it will be extremely reliable and well supported. It is very flexible and customizable and can work in complex HR arrangements. For example, we have employees in nearly 60 countries and multiple HR jurisdictions and we are able to make it work for us. However, if you are moving from a traditional or customized HR system there may be a steep learning curve and you should be prepared to spend a lot of time setting up and customizing to your needs, in addition to training.

    I think some of my problems with Talentsoft aren't so much the fault of the software as it is how my company is organized. I have to enter many different property levels so that a review gets created, I'm not certain that these fields are required by Talentsoft or by my corporate office. This software is not suited for companies where a segment of the employees do not have a company email address and/or access to a company computer

    Pros
    Sage
    • Sage is highly flexible and configurable, allowing us to manage the variety of geographies and functional units in one platform.
    • Sage is highly customer focused, with great CSM support.

    • Having the reviews in Talentsoft makes it much easier for one person to manage the entire process from start to finish.
    • When an employee switches managers during the year, the delegation feature makes it very easy to have the previous manager add their input to the employees review.
    • Being able to have a daily import file from our HR system into Talentsoft helps in having the information in Talentsoft be current.

    Cons
    Sage
    • Training manuals are not much useful. You always need a helping hand to move forward.
    • When you have to look up employees, we have to provide their job title which I feel is not an efficient way.

    Sage
    We moved to Sage People from a 20+-year-old internally developed HR software. We also evaluated other HR software such as Kronos, SAP, and BambooHR. Ultimately, we chose Sage because of the extensive support they provided to us and the ability to customize to fit our organization's needs. We loved the fact that they were completely cloud-based and built on a reputable platform (Salesforce).

    I think SuccessFactors is more flexible to customer needs when creating review templates and allowing access to goals year round. They also track changes for the goals. Talentsoft was selected by our corporate office before I started with the company.

    Return on Investment
    Sage
    • Has significantly improved our team resources by having one system and set of processes, rather than managing duplicate entry in multiple systems
    • Has allowed us to finally have a process for ensuring we can approve, manage, track and report employee PTO liability in one system
    • Improved HR Data reporting and Data Analytics for both HR and for managers, so that we can make better people and business decisions
    • Better manager and employee experiences by eliminating paper based request forms and automating workflows
