The shared calendar stopped two people on the same small team booking the same week, which used to happen twice a year and caused real problems.
Pros
Leave and absence management is genuinely excellent
Cons
Support is email led

We added timesheets a year in and it slotted straight on. No migration, no renegotiation, just a line on the invoice. The modular thing is real and not a pricing trick.
Pros
Set up without a consultant
Cons
Reporting is thin beyond the standard set

We tracked vacation in a shared spreadsheet for four years and it was wrong constantly. This replaced it in an afternoon and the arguments stopped. Accruals, carryover and a calendar everyone can see. That is all we needed and that is exactly what we bought.
Pros
Six fifty per employee per month for the core
Cons
No US or Canadian payroll engine at all

We are at three hundred and twenty people now and starting to feel the ceiling. Workflow customization is limited and the approval logic cannot express our new structure. It was perfect at eighty.
Pros
Leave and absence management is genuinely excellent
Cons
Performance module is basic

Thank you for the feedback. Sage HR is designed to integrate with payroll providers rather than process payroll directly, and we appreciate that this is not always clear during evaluation. Our team can walk you through the payroll integrations available in your region.

Employee self service actually gets used. People book their own time off, managers approve on their phone, and I stopped being the middle of every request. Adoption was immediate, which never happens.
Pros
Leave and absence management is genuinely excellent
Cons
Customization runs out past a few hundred staff

Carryover rules were the thing our old spreadsheet always got wrong. It handles them, including the cap, and I have not had to check it manually since month two.
Pros
Self service that employees actually adopt
Cons
Customization runs out past a few hundred staff

I set it up myself in a morning with no implementation call and no consultant. For a forty person company that is the entire value proposition.

Accrual and carryover rules handled correctly

The pricing is what sold me. Six fifty per person for core HR and leave, and I add modules only when I need them. Every other product wanted to sell me a platform. This let me buy a feature.

It integrates with payroll rather than running it, which means you are still paying someone else for the part that actually has to be right. For a small company that is two vendors and two bills to do what should be one job.
Pros
Self service that employees actually adopt
Cons
No US or Canadian payroll engine at all
