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. ----- ### "Human Resources Director" — 4.0/5 > **Becca** | *July 17, 2025* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was easy to use for all modules that I worked in surrounding the HCM platform. Our company did leave Sage but please know that it wasn't b/c we wanted it to happen. We did not like Oracle and it was so broken. > > **Cons**: That we could not keep the platform. It worked well with our site and our production teams. I was very impressed by the customer service along with the ability to use the system with ease. > > Overall was a great experience and was in the system daily being the leader of HR. I ran reports, worked on analytics and other strategies surrounding staffing ----- 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
