Does it All
Sage HRMS makes it pretty easy to run our payroll in house and gives us tons of information about our employees' pay.
PROSWe use the HR and Payroll module as we process payroll in house. There are so many processes available that we don't use, but are available for larger companies. The HR side is very easy and user friendly. The payroll side is less intuitive. There are many stock reports and the on-board Crystal Reports makes it easy to create others as needed.
CONSThe payroll side is very detailed and complicated to set up. Sometimes there is no good explanation for why something has to be done in a particular way, so you just have to do it and not really understand why. Coming from Abra, HRMS payroll took some getting used to. The rounding doesn't always follow normal conventions, so we sometimes have to chase down pennies to make sure everything is exactly correct.
Reasons for switching to Sage HRMS
Abra was no longer going to be supported

Sage HRMS - Takes effort but worth it.
The learning curve was quite steep but since we have been using the software for a while now, we are much more comfortable with it.
PROSThe system has many features within the program itself to store information, provide status and look-ups. Set up is extremely important to have done correctly in order for the software to function fully and correctly.
CONSReporting features are limited requiring an upgrade to incorporate Crystal Reports to obtain needed information for tax payments and reporting purposes.
Reason for choosing Sage HRMS
Information could be pulled from Sage Abra system and parallel processing could be run to ensure set up was done correctly.
Reasons for switching to Sage HRMS
Sage Abra Payroll was no longer going to be supported after 2020.

SAGE HRMS PAYROLL/HUMAN RESOURCE modules compared to SAGE ABRA PAYROLL/HUMAN RESOURCE
It gets the payroll process done and has other modules to greatly help, like attendance and human resources but would like a more modern payroll module.
PROSI love that it does not have a hard close after each quarter and you can rerun reports for any payroll that is in history which means you can go back years. Love that it has an HR module that is easy to use and did not change much going from Sage ABRA to Sage HRMS but wish the payroll module was more modern and interactive so you can actually see a paycheck instead of doing a calculating process and then pulling a report to see what the paycheck will actually be. Love being able to have an excel spreadsheet containing bonuses/incentives that can be easily imported/uploaded into the payroll module.
CONSHate that HRMS Payroll does not have an interactive paycheck view while processing payroll where you can make a change on an employee's paycheck and see instantly how it changes everything. An example of this is if an employee wanted to change their 401k pre-tax election/deduction how would it change the taxes and net pay. It is time card driven then you have to calculate (process) before you can see an employee's possible paycheck when you run a Pre-check payroll register (report driven). Every time you have to make changes you do the change on their timecard, even to deductions, then calculate pay before you can see the employee's paystub when you run a report (Pre-check Payroll Register Report) so it is report driven. I would love to see an interactive paycheck in view and see how changes can change the net pay. I love that it comes with Crystal Reports but to find the information (fields) in the payroll directory/data bases is difficult but on the human resource director/data basis are considerably easier. Support, that you pay for, does not help you with crystal reports or how to find the field/information to get it onto a crystal report. Also the standard reports that come with the HRMS program (payroll) are not helpful nor have enough filters/sorts/structure to make them useful so you have to become savvy with Crystal reports to get the information you want in the format you must have it. Also to do W2 or tax forms are only process in HRMS payroll to Aatrix.
Reason for choosing Sage HRMS
We went from one Best Software/Sage product to another since the one being used was discontinued which made it an easier install. Since Sage HRMS was replacing Sage ABRA which was being discontinued there were many price breaks/incentives to do so. This also made the switch easier to install.
Reasons for switching to Sage HRMS
Best Software Sage ABRA payroll and human resource software/program was discontinued since it was written in old FoxPro that was discontinued instead of current SQL which is supported and continues to be the programming language most often used.

Love hate relationship
We are migrating from Abra Suite so it is excellent that it is so similar but the upgrade path is ROUGH..
PROSIt is an excellent on prem solution to HR and Payroll for a company that wants allot of functionality for a reasonable price.
CONSPerformance and stability. Very slow on launch to the point that every user gets the loading twice message because the click and click. Screens can crash if you push them. I believe this is because there is still foxpro lingering underneath the covers in the screens.
Reason for choosing Sage HRMS
On prem and price.. as well as familiarity to our user base.
Reasons for switching to Sage HRMS
End of life.. and foxpro

I've been with this software since it was ABRAcadabra. It's a good product.
PROSI attended a webinar today on using Crystal Reports. It was a brief overview, but easy to understand and very helpful.
CONSSometimes the software is not intuitive, and it's hard to learn all of the tricks to make it run smoothly. I get frustrated with tech support.
Reason for choosing Sage HRMS
In house and overall proce.
