It bends to our process instead of the reverse
Every HR product we trialled wanted us to change our process to match its assumptions. This one bent to ours. That flexibility cost us months of implementation and it was the right trade for an organization our size.

Total cost regularly exceeds the initial quote

Because it is built on Salesforce, our existing admins were configuring workflows in week one. No new platform to learn, no new vendor relationship, and our security model came across as is.

Headcount reporting used to be three spreadsheets that never agreed. Now the number comes out of one system and finance and HR stopped arguing about it.

The cost lands well above the quote
Between licenses, implementation and the partner, we landed close to double the first number discussed. Nothing was hidden exactly. It just accumulated, and by the time it added up we were committed.

Response from the vendorSep 16, 2024
Thank you for the feedback. Sage People is designed for organizations with complex, multi country requirements, and we recognise it is not the right fit for every size of business. We are sorry the cost expectations were not clearer and encourage you to raise this with your account team.

Too much system for a hundred people
Every meaningful change needs someone who knows the platform. We do not have that person, so every adjustment is a partner ticket and an invoice. The flexibility everyone praises is only real if you can afford to use it.
