Considered Both Products
Cezanne HR
Chose Cezanne HR
Cezanne's price point was cost-effective for our needs. It is a UK-based support time that others did not have, and the reviews were much better than others evaluated.
Chose Cezanne HR
Better for smaller companies. Don't get too big, or you will lose your value. It's a niche market here and the more products you can use, the better; its payroll integrates with on boarding, talent acquisition, staffing, succession planning, and performance management. …

Chose Sage HRMS
I currently use Paycor. It is a good platform for the organization. Sage HRMS was good software, but didn't support some of the more quirkier states like PA and IN for payroll. Paycor had similar constraints. Neither is a great fit if you are doing business across multiple …
Chose Sage HRMS
Sage HRMS is pretty good, but ICIMS was more of a complete and concrete ATS package. Sage HRMS's customer service was excellent, but ICIMS was robust and user-friendly. I would rate them both close, but ICIMS would be a better applicant tracking system from an HR standpoint.
Chose Sage HRMS
Sage HRMS is popular and it's used in most organizations due to the reputation of Sage in coming up with popular and reliable business softwares. The software is not that expensive and after learning how to use it, everything becomes smooth and perfect. It's ultimate strength …
Chose Sage HRMS
Sage HRMS was very cost effective for a non-profit. It does all that we needed as a company and more. It also allows us to handle payroll ourselves instead of outsourcing [it].
Chose Sage HRMS
I would say that Sage is ranked #3.
Chose Sage HRMS
Our version of Sage does not stand up to the competition, however, the cost is also much lower as well.
Chose Sage HRMS
Prior to implementing Sage HRMS, our organization was much smaller and split into two separate companies. The smaller of the companies used a similar product called "FileBound" that served at the business' human resource management software. It was much like Sage HRMS, but …

Cezanne HR features were easy to set and configure the interface security and through Cezanne HR is more easy and quick on multiple financial data transferring across other HR and also Payroll management platforms. To create reports on various business operations and its salary revisions capability is unique and excellent.

Sage HRMS might be great for a smaller company under 1,000 employees. I would not recommend it for larger companies. It becomes too burdensome because many processes still have to be manual and reports take forever to process if you have too many records in your system

Pros
  • Payroll tracking ability is excellent.
  • Workflow easy management on Cezanne HR is good.
  • Easy employees experience management.
Read full review
  • Reporting - there are three levels of reporting - 1. Standard Reports 2. Query Tool - users can create very simple list with some filtering functionality 3. Crystal Reports - user can create very simple to complex report pulling data from multiple table, calculated fields, etc.
  • Benefit Tracking - benefit plans are setup utilizing rate tables therefore rate changes are updated globally
  • Payroll - everyday payroll processing and tax filing that is very user friendly
Read full review
Cons
  • Reporting - add more standard reports so I don't have to create them.
  • Communicating w/ in the module with team mates.
Read full review
  • It is sometimes hard to identify parts of competency/compensation history. We built tables to store this data but it is not laid out well on the screen.
  • Sometimes, even when you tell the system to "Add to History" it doesn't update so there is history missing. This impacts someone that relies on history for troubleshooting and reports.

I do not work with this software anymore, and I am not involved with the renewal of it. However, if I were, I would still suggest using it unless something better was introduced

Usability
Some things are complicated to understand, such as the process around them or why things cannot be done. That said, support is always helpful and tries to think of solutions.

Support Rating
The support is great. They are efficient and resolve issues relatively quickly. The support opening times support our HR opening times. What would make it better is a live chat function for support or the ability to phone. Sometimes explaining an issue and going back and forth over email takes longer than a quick phone call or live chat.

It is never the same than in person, but the training was also the implementation so it made sense as it was broken up. It made it more cost effective.

Better for smaller companies. Don't get too big, or you will lose your value. It's a niche market here and the more products you can use, the better; its payroll integrates with on boarding, talent acquisition, staffing, succession planning, and performance management. I don't like the idea of having four different Software companies for something one can do. No manager likes all these different platforms.

Return on Investment
  • Fewer people preparing reports that an individual was doing before the dashboard s0 saving one full day per week of reporting.

  • Sage HRMS allowed us to manage payroll in house.
  • It was disappointing that we had to use an outside vendor to file and pay our withholding tax.
  • Ultimately, the decision was made to outsource payroll after using HRMS for 3 years.
