Once everything is configured properly, it can handle complex HR workflows and large-scale workforce needs. > > **Cons**: The system is extremely difficult to learn, navigate, and customize. Even simple updates require multiple clicks and often feel buried in menus. Configuration is so technical that you almost need an in-house Sage expert to make ongoing changes. The interface is dated, slow, and unintuitive, and employees frequently struggle with basic tasks like requesting PTO or updating their information. Instead of supporting HR, it often slows processes down. > > Overall, Sage People felt like more of an administrative burden than a solution. Despite its extensive capabilities, everyday use is clunky and demanding. The time spent training, troubleshooting, and managing the system outweighs the benefits. For modern HR teams, there are far more user-friendly systems that accomplish the same goals without the frustration. ----- ### "Sage People Review1" — 5.0/5 > **George** | *June 4, 2026* | Insurance Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of access, but out of all the reporting. The in house reporting is great, but it's even better when connecting directly through API. > > **Cons**: The snapshot reporting seems to be a little limited, but it is something we are looking into with Sage. > > Overall very happy, and great account manager, who listens and takes everything onboard. Would really recommend. ----- ### "Sage does have great features" — 4.0/5 > **Audra** | *February 13, 2026* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Employee Mngmt and Payroll features, it added ease to my payroll process by tracking all past events > > **Cons**: DOnt have any yet im still experiencing it and the features in full mode and hoopefully i get more pros then cons > > I have always like sage products especially for legal aspect tracking and when this was developed I loved how it linked with our other platforms. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/194833/sage-business-cloud-people?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/194833/sage-business-cloud-people) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | da | | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fi | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
