Featured Reviews

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.

Senior Systems and Information Analyst with 1,001-5,000 employees
Creates user defined screens, which are then reportable
Flexibility in terms of customisation does come at the expense of ease of use. It is not the easiest system to manage from a system administrator point of view. Whilst obviously not unmanageable, you will need to develop expertise in teams to manage the back end of the system internally within the organisation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is the most complete and customizable solution on the market."
"The most valuable features of Meta4 are payroll and resource recruitment. However, all of the features in the human resource system are useful."
"Performance appraisal might be the most valuable feature for us."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is you can customize every type of payroll calculation that you have."
"From the HR side, the most valuable features are the Learning Management Systems (LMS) that allow providing a personalized service in terms of development, where each employee can choose and architect their development plans."
"The solution has a great payroll engine."
"The tool provides a lot of options."
"I would recommend ResourceLink and it is a highly customisable solution to any organisation, but they would need to employ a System Analyst to fully implement the system due to the size and complexities."
"The ability to create user defined screens, which are then reportable, allows us to capture specialised information that would not necessarily be considered core HR data for most organisations, and as a university, the ability to produce our HESA return using the dedicated module is invaluable."
"MyView is easy to configure, and Auto Enrolment is excellent as you can automate letters and templates."
 

Cons

"The user interface could be improved and the maintenance is complex when it comes to upgrades."
"Continuous improvements of Meta4 releases include a number of patches that are not always tested."
"In future releases, it would be useful to see reporting lines of all the team members in our business to understand who reports to whom."
"The Solution is stable, yet when the data became huge, the Payroll Users are facing slow execution of the Payroll."
"For companies in the Gulf area, I would not recommend this solution."
"The first response usually lacks depth, and if it were just an HR user submitting tickets, the outcome might be poor."
"Their technical support is not so good."
"Their technical support isn't so good."
"Leave Management needs to be significantly enhanced and ACs need to be trained fully on the product."
"Their product is not overly intuitive when setting up new processes, but MyView is very easy to use."
"Customer service is questionable at best recently; we have experienced issues with patches and installation of additional modules, which has caused delays on some projects and meant senior managers of the school have had to be involved in escalating issues."
 

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."
