HF
Project Manager, HRIS at a energy/utilities company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Optimize talent management with modular features but needs better reporting
There are difficulties regarding the reporting part. While we have some reporting functionalities, they are not powerful or deep. For instance, the coverage report on a specific effective date provides data effective on the day of the report, which is a significant limitation. Additionally, the available APIs, both inbound and outbound, are not well-developed, preventing the creation of accurate interfaces with other systems. There is also a need to review the reporting infrastructure to build a data lake that would allow customers to access data regardless of the effective date of the information. Moreover, the silos between the different modules need to be removed. Ideally, one would want a report that provides information at the same time from performance and compensation.

Strategic Workforce Planning Director at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Integrates job architecture and skills data to support strategic workforce planning
What I find valuable about Eightfold Talent Intelligence Platform is that you integrate your data from skills and job architecture into one platform, and the power of their algorithms are the strongest that I have seen, with no other competitor enabling you to do things in a single platform. It also provides the ability to API connect into your HR information system, whether it be Workday, Oracle, or SuccessFactors, giving you much more AI enablement and more connection with external data, showing you how things are trending that better inform your internal decisions. The predictive analytics of Eightfold is strong. The reason for that is because of the way in which their algorithms are built on the basis of data that is looking at how you generate, in essence, career mobility, which makes them stronger than others. Because they work on a quarterly product development life cycle, what I have heard indicates that Eightfold is always going to be three years ahead of your HR information systems that are trying to add this capability into their platform.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The support team were friendly and work in a systematic way. When contacting support you are able to add a level of priority to your case which is always respected by their team."
"Meta4 HCM helps us consolidate HR data across various regions."
"The most valuable features of Meta4 are payroll and resource recruitment. However, all of the features in the human resource system are useful."
"The performance appraisal is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is you can customize every type of payroll calculation that you have."
"Stability of this solution is very good, it's a good product."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the payment engine."
"Performance appraisal might be the most valuable feature for us."
"Eightfold has helped us uncover our 300,000 person talent database, making it easier for us to source and ultimately serve them with opportunities that they would engage in."
"The platform's ability to understand skills versus keywords as a talent intelligence platform is its key differentiator."
"What I find valuable about Eightfold Talent Intelligence Platform is that you integrate your data from skills and job architecture into one platform, and the power of their algorithms are the strongest that I have seen, with no other competitor enabling you to do things in a single platform."
"Stability is fantastic. In the two years we've used it, I've only experienced one outage."
"The quality of the AI is way ahead of any other solutions on the market."
"Eightfold has a lot of capabilities to make work a lot easier for recruiters."
"This solution has made our team more collaborative. The recruiting team is easily able to see what the other team members are working on, what candidates are in process and how they can share candidates amongst themselves. They are now able to prevent work duplication due to increased visibility. Eightfold is candidate centric."
"From my perspective, one of the most valuable aspects of Eightfold Talent Intelligence Platform was the talent matching and employee game planning of future roles."
 

Cons

"For companies in the Gulf area, I would not recommend this solution."
"Their technical support isn't so good."
"The HR portal, training model, and the development career model all need improvement."
"Their technical support is not so good."
"Meta4 could improve by allowing users to manage things by themself."
"I would like to have recruitment and acquisition features added to this solution."
"The HR portal, training model, and development career model could all use improvement. Stability and scalability should be improved as well."
"Continuous improvements of Meta4 releases include a number of patches that are not always tested."
"It would be interesting to enable Eightfold to have a user experience that is seamless in terms of single sign on to and from core systems of record. That is, the ability for a user or hiring manager/recruiter to go in and out of Eightfold back into their core system, whether that be Oracle, Workday, SuccessFactors, Cornerstone, etc. It would great to be able to go back and forth with a single sign on capability so that you don't have to log in and out of applications, where it's a bidirectional single sign on."
"Eightfold could be improved by focusing on the employee experience. It is important that Eightfold understands how it forms part of the entire experience, especially as they continue to scale. Eightfold should make sure they understand how it connects with other solutions in our technology ecosystem to drive the full user experience."
"Eightfold could be improved if they had more round table conversations about features and their roadmap. They should actively seek out feedback from their customers."
"There is room for improvement with regards to sourcing and attribution and to be more efficient with connecting leads."
"It would be interesting to enable Eightfold to have a user experience that is seamless in terms of single sign on to and from core systems of record."
"The tagging feature is not as in depth and easy to use as I would've hoped for. Although you can create tags for candidates, there's no way to report all those tags and see what tags are already created."
"The sales representatives that I reached out to on LinkedIn weren't very helpful because once they realized that it was for a smaller company, they weren't as interested."
"From my perspective, I think the usability could use some attention. Eightfold.ai offers modules for talent acquisition, talent management, and other areas like projects. They try to use a common UI for all of them, but it really needs to be more persona-based. That's the thing that I struggle with the most."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"From a cost perspective, I think this is a well-balanced option."
"Meta4 requires annual maintenance that needs to be paid for."
"The pricing is fairly competitive. The licensing is fairly flexible to have all employees take advantage of it in any given capacity."
"The pricing is fair compared to the market."
"This is a fairly expensive solution compared to others on the market. However, the solution offers functionality of a number of other different solutions combined. From that perspective, it is competitively priced."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being cheap and ten being expensive."
