My comments is specific to their Sage Payrill and Basic HR. I did not see any value in uisng that except wasting 1 months of precious time trying to resolve very basic issues with their technical support. > > **Cons**: No value or advantage of using such a middle-ware for Payroll. Not helpful customer service. They just refer you to their partners without trying to resolve the issue > > Extremely negative experience, worst customer service I've ever encountered. I was frustrated by the company’s lack of comprehensive services, relying instead on third-party partners that disrupted seamless payroll management. Key features like Direct Deposit failed to function, and my application remained unresolved for over a month. I expressed disbelief that in an era of major technological advancements—such as planned human missions to Mars—basic payroll processes could still be so inefficient and poorly handled. ----- ### "So far so good\!" — 5.0/5 > **Caitlyn** | *February 27, 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It seems like its good, only used it a short while and have not had any issues thus far. > > **Cons**: There seem to be no glitches or issues i can report as of yet. ----- ### "EASY TO USE BUT LACKS FUNTIONALITY OF DESKTOP VERSION" — 5.0/5 > **JAMES** | *April 30, 2024* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: QUICK AND EASY TO PROCESS THE PAYROLL EACH WEEK OR MONTH > > **Cons**: NOT ABLE TO PRODUCE HISTORICAL REPORTS SUMMERISING THE PAYROLL FIGURES IN ORDER TO PREPARE ANNUAL ACCOUNTS. FPS IS SUBMITTED BEFORE P45 CAN BE PRINTED SO LEAVERS HAVE TO BE SUBMITTED WITH RTI REPORT FOR THE NEXT PERIOD. NO LINK TO HMRC WEBSITE TO AUTOMATICALLY UPDATE TAX CODE CHANGES FOR EMPLOYEES > > VERY QUICK AND EAY TO USE BUT LACKS THE FUNCTIONALLITY OF THE DESKTOP VERSION OF SAGE PAYROLL ----- ### "Decent software, bit outdated" — 3.0/5 > **Monika** | *August 27, 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: You could bespoke a lot of features within Sage Payroll. > > **Cons**: Overly detailed, outdated look, quite clunky. > > Each time I ran payroll it seemed it took me ages to do so, not the payroll itself but getting the reports out to link them with other financial software. ----- ### "Sage Payroll" — 5.0/5 > **ELAINE** | *May 8, 2024* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Reporting is great Main menu with employee details is super helpful > > **Cons**: The support in SA is lacking. The Consultants are not able to assist with queries or does not come back to one. > > Great system to use but the support aspect in SA is lacking management and we have to make use of a third party to assist with issues which costs us more money. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/215768/sage-business-cloud-payroll?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/215768/sage-business-cloud-payroll) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
