Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Sage was our HRIS system for 9+ years. We switched to a new HRIS system within the last year but still use a few components of Sage HRMS until we fully make the switch. Sage HRMS was difficult to navigate, very slow to load and respond, and was very difficult to pull accurate reports. It became a headache for our entire HR and Payroll teams.

Pros

Ability to see history (like job history) easily at a glance.
Ability to make changes easily.
Organizing info in the employee record.

Cons

Sage HRMS is super slow to load and respond after you make a change. Reports also take forever to process.
Reporting needs to be made easier to understand.
Other Sage products that are supposed to connect to Sage HRMS don't connect well.

Likelihood to Recommend

Sage HRMS might be great for a smaller company under 1,000 employees. I would not recommend it for larger companies. It becomes too burdensome because many processes still have to be manual and reports take forever to process if you have too many records in your system.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Sage HRMS across the organization for HR management, payroll processing and tax return filings. It helps us to manage our employees at 10 different locations in multiple states. We use it for weekly, biweekly and monthly payroll. It has helped us streamline the process for filing taxes and has given our users the opportunity to use a self-service portal.

Pros

We use the product to process weekly, biweekly and monthly payroll. It is easy to use for each type.
It manage HR and payroll data for our employees at 10 different locations in multiple states.
It streamlines the process for filing taxes. Rather than having to print reports, reenter data and file returns on external sites, I can process returns with a couple clicks of the mouse.

Cons

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

Sage [HRMS] is great for single entities with just a few or numerous employees. I don't think we set the system up correctly for Common Paymaster though, so it makes it tougher for us to use now. We are going to start the system over at the beginning of the year to get rid of all the bugs we built into our database the first time around.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used Sage HRMS as an applicant tracking system. It was mainly used as a database to maintain all employee information.

Pros

It was a one stop tool for getting all the information of employees, both current and ex employees
We also used it as a rating tool for performance appraisal process

Cons

We used another software by name ICIMS for candidate maintenance, so we couldn't integrate both external candidates and employee information together
We wished we could check the outstanding PTO's and time card information for employees since for this purpose we used ADP instead.

Likelihood to Recommend

Its a good tracking system, can be used for expense reports, time sheets and employee database. But if it could be a tool for maintaining a database for external people who aren't employees.

Sage HRMS A Strong and Stable Solution for your HR and Payroll Needs

Rating: 9 out of 10

August 5, 2016

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Sage offers solutions in the following modules Payroll, HR, Attendance, Training, Self Service. It is a great solution for mid size companies to handle all HR and Payroll needs in house. When properly configured, it is very powerful tool to assist in everyday payroll processing including tax filing and HR functions such as the day to day tracking, Benefits, Compliance (OHSA) and reporting.

Pros

Reporting - there are three levels of reporting - 1. Standard Reports 2. Query Tool - users can create very simple list with some filtering functionality 3. Crystal Reports - user can create very simple to complex report pulling data from multiple table, calculated fields, etc.
Benefit Tracking - benefit plans are setup utilizing rate tables therefore rate changes are updated globally
Payroll - everyday payroll processing and tax filing that is very user friendly

Cons

Attendance - attendance plan details tend to fluctuate from company to company therefore more flexibility to track time and deal with carry over amounts could be beneficial

Likelihood to Recommend

Great solution for a mid size company (less than 2000 employees) that is looking to keep HR and Payroll functionality in house.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Sage HRMS is used mainly in HR as an ongoing database. It is integrated with add-ons such as HrActions (Electronic forms) and Power PCS (Position Control Software). It is used throughout the agency with SQL reporting allowing users to run there reports without support from HR (Turnover, Training, etc).

Pros

Custom fields/screens are available giving you that ability to build the database as you need it and making it easier for the user to follow.
Interface between HrActions as well as the Power PCS add -in. This allows data to be current without manual intervention.
Easy to read screens. Everything is right there...there is no "hidden" data.

Cons

It is sometimes hard to identify parts of competency/compensation history. We built tables to store this data but it is not laid out well on the screen.
Sometimes, even when you tell the system to "Add to History" it doesn't update so there is history missing. This impacts someone that relies on history for troubleshooting and reports.

Likelihood to Recommend

I believe an agency with under 100 employees can probably get away with any system, but Sage Abra definitely supports agencies with larger staff better than some.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Sage HRMS is used across the organization for payroll, benefits, attendance and HR management.

Pros

The format of the system is easy to use.
Support for the system is local and the response time is extremely timely.
It is very flexible with what it can do to accommodate the organization.

Cons

The reporting function is not user friendly unless you are skilled in Crystal.
There are several screens that need to be updated when changes are made e.g. if you make a change in benefits, you have to go through a few screens in payroll to make sure everything went through.
There are small hiccups that happen within the system that are not explained. e.g. something doesn't calculate correctly and after researching with support help there is no reason given for the mistake, just a hiccup.

Likelihood to Recommend

The system would work well for a small organization with very basic needs.

Human-friendly HRMS

Rating: 8 out of 10

June 27, 2014

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Sage HRMS is our central database for our human resource management. Access is granted to human resource team members, and members of executive leadership. We use it as a central database for employee records, but it is also used for performing audits on state licenses for our employees, employment verification, employment agreements, and all other important information used by the enterprise. It was my duty to transmit all hard copy and any stray digital personnel records into Sage HRMS. The only downfall is not being able to upload digital copies in groups - each document must be uploaded individually, causing the process to be very time consuming. Otherwise, it was and is a very useful product.

Pros

Reporting/producing accurate reports of documentation.
User friendly
Can be easily customized by the administrator.

Cons

Uploading of documents is time consuming and often causes crashes in the system.
Frequent updates are needed to avoid crashes.

Likelihood to Recommend

I believe it is only well-suited for larger companies if there are several people maintaining the records, which includes the initial implementation of the product - i.e. uploading the documents into Sage. I also believe each new user should be granted sufficient education in Sage, but this may vary from organization to organization. Crashes are common especially if the system is not updated frequently and file uploads are happening simultaneously.
