Featured Reviews

Valda Coelho - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhancing HR engagement with effective development but could benefit from AI-driven improvements
The primary feature I appreciate about the solution is the information connection, allowing us to have a full employee life cycle visibility over the platforms. It also enables the creation of interactions between employees, launching communication campaigns that raise engagement. 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 second valuable feature is the autonomy each employee has to update their personal data. In terms of talent management, it helps design development processes, backups, and clearly view the criteria for those backups being achieved.

Saves time through transclusion - using a single record across multiple modules
The most valuable feature is the module integration, which saves time through transclusion - using a single record across multiple modules. The user interface has improved significantly. The current client redesigns work centers per subsidiary business unit, making navigation more intuitive and easier for end users. Reporting and analytics capabilities have greatly improved.

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."
"It helps to optimize some workflows and provides reporting capabilities."
"The most valuable features of Meta4 are payroll and resource recruitment. However, all of the features in the human resource system are useful."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the payment engine."
"The tool provides a lot of options."
"The performance appraisal is the most valuable feature."
"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 PeopleSoft interface is very good."
"The solution's scalability is good."
"The time system is what we get the most benefit from."
"PeopleSoft is scalable."
"It is a customizable product. We can customize it based on our needs, which is one of the features that I like about PeopleSoft. As far as financial accounting is concerned, the user interface is very good. You can also configure Chart of Accounts for all performance insights."
"The recruiting is most valuable. It saves time in having easy and fast applicants tracking as well as candidates' contact plus pipeline management."
"PeopleSoft is easy to understand, where any end user that is logged in can easily navigate through the menus."
"It's very fully featured. It has more features and more configurability than SAP."
 

Cons

"The user interface could be improved and the maintenance is complex when it comes to upgrades."
"Meta4 could improve by allowing users to manage things by themself."
"The solution is a little bit slow."
"There is room for improvements, such as including AI solutions for people management to improve job descriptions, recruitment reels, skills mapping, etc."
"The HR portal, training model, and development career model could all use improvement. Stability and scalability should be improved as well."
"The HR portal, training model, and the development career model all need improvement."
"I would like to have recruitment and acquisition features added to this solution."
"There are difficulties regarding the reporting part."
"Scalability is not there in PeopleSoft. Its performance and resilience are also very bad. When you're trying to stretch it, it breaks. It is not resilient. It is also not stable. It is stable as far as data is concerned, but the infrastructure is not stable."
"On the other hand, the more recent push for standardization precludes customized approaches to certain industry requirements."
"The solution could improve by offering PeopleSoft site licenses. Currently, Oracle is pushing for everyone to transition to the cloud, but clients are discontent with this approach. Offering new PeopleSoft site licenses would be the most beneficial for our clients."
"I would like to see it become available again in Mexico."
"I would like to see a better UI."
"The solution could have better processes and automation, or features that allow for a paperless environment."
"Tools and UI could be enhanced."
"There can occasionally be complexity in the initial setup."

"Meta4 requires annual maintenance that needs to be paid for."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"I would consider this to be an expensive product, but the quality justifies it."
"It's approximately $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 USD per year."
"This solution offers annual licensing. We pay per user."
"The tool is expensive."
"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
"One of the cheapest solutions available and also one of the best."
"The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive."
