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.

Decades of use have delivered secure, customizable control for public sector operations and finance
I have just completed three assessments: one on inventory demand planning, another on using artificial intelligence to bring supplier contracts in portable document format directly into PeopleSoft. PeopleSoft works both internally as well as with third-party products that integrate seamlessly with PeopleSoft. PeopleSoft operates both from a need-to-know-only basis as well as being able at the same time to do group purchase and realize large quantity purchase discounts. My clients have used marketplaces, and it is really industry-specific whether they use one or not, or if there is even one available. I would rate this product nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the payment engine."
"This solution would be good and more cost-effective than an SAP if you are only looking for HR functionality."
"The solution has a great payroll engine."
"The solution is very helpful as it allows us to optimize and consolidate all the data for talent management."
"The most valuable features of Meta4 are payroll and resource recruitment. However, all of the features in the human resource system are useful."
"Meta4 HCM helps us consolidate HR data across various regions."
"It helps to optimize some workflows and provides reporting capabilities."
"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."
"I would recommend the solution. It's very stable and scalable, which makes it a reliable solution."
"There are several new features in the PeopleSoft tool set that I've found particularly valuable, such as grid control and related actions."
"PeopleSoft is a very solid and robust product."
"It's a mature product."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"If the organization has a sufficient budget and wants to manage talent and support business objectives, then this is the answer."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is having the sources so that you're able to adapt the product to your needs. That was a big benefit."
"I'd like PeopleSoft to be like on the cloud and more mobile-friendly. If I try to access it from a cell phone, it's a bit difficult, so it would be great if PeopleSoft could improve these features."
 

Cons

"There are difficulties regarding the reporting part."
"For companies in the Gulf area, I would not recommend this solution."
"The Solution is stable, yet when the data became huge, the Payroll Users are facing slow execution of the Payroll."
"I would like to have recruitment and acquisition features added to this solution."
"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 first response usually lacks depth, and if it were just an HR user submitting tickets, the outcome might be poor."
"I rate the support from Meta4 a two out of five."
"To put it bluntly, the e-Mind product is obsolete older technology, and has no upgrade path for the new PeopleNet product."
"The bugs are always in the latest release, so I always tell my client to be one release behind, let somebody else find all those bugs, and their response time in fixing those bugs sometimes takes a little while."
"We have already deployed it and we have had it for several years but we are switching to a modern HCM SaaS cloud product."
"For HCM the editing criteria, especially for the time and labor section, the editing tool needs improvement."
"Parsing of CVs is productive but accuracy can be improved."
"I think PeopleSoft should focus on enhancing the tools and the UI, and making it a more updated app as opposed to the old, tiny, older look and feel."
"Processing speed and user-friendliness."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
"The quality of service has gone down after Oracle took over and this can be restored, and scope for online search could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Meta4 requires annual maintenance that needs to be paid for."
"From a cost perspective, I think this is a well-balanced option."
"The expenses related to the solution are nominal."
"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."
"The licensing cost for PeopleSoft is 3,500 per course and the annual subscription fee is 6,500."
"Yearly payments are to be made toward the licensing costs of PeopleSoft. PeopleSoft is not very expensive, so I feel it is an affordable product."
"The solution is priced per module."
"The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive."
"There are no additional costs for licensing."
