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

"Recently, support has been excellent."
"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."
"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 performance appraisal is the most valuable feature."
"It helps to optimize some workflows and provides reporting capabilities."
"It allowed us to fully automate payroll/salary processing for 6000 employees, and this is now operated by only three people."
"Meta4 HCM helps us consolidate HR data across various regions."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the payment engine."
"HR/payroll is integrated with Financials, so we don't have to enter data in two places."
"PeopleSoft is scalable."
"Its user interface is impressive."
"The support I have received from PeopleSoft has been excellent."
"Scales up very well."
"Stability-wise, it is a good tool."
"Because the UI is so easy to use, it makes our work processes flow more efficiently, which, of course, impacts cost and time savings."
"The solution's scalability is good."
 

Cons

"Their technical support isn't so good."
"Continuous improvements of Meta4 releases include a number of patches that are not always tested."
"The user interface could be improved and the maintenance is complex when it comes to upgrades."
"I think the areas of training and performance could be improved in the solution."
"For companies in the Gulf area, I would not recommend this solution."
"I rate the support from Meta4 a two out of five."
"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."
"There is room for improvements, such as including AI solutions for people management to improve job descriptions, recruitment reels, skills mapping, etc."
"An area for improvement would be PeopleSoft's global payroll capabilities, which could be easier to use."
"The learning and development side of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"We needed to do a lot of integration with third-party applications in order to get the functionality that we needed. The API integration could be better."
"I would like to see it become available again in Mexico."
"The area that could be improved is the upgrade process, it's not the easiest. Oracle stopped supporting our version. So we have to move either to the cloud or work in a non-supported situation. That was certainly a disadvantage. That's also the reason why we decided not to stay with Oracle. Now we are moving to SAP."
"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."
"The product was too complicated when it came to navigating through multiple places and the search filters weren't great."
"Technical support's gotten weaker over the years."
 

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."
"Check all options before a decision is made."
"There are no additional costs for licensing."
"The licensing cost for PeopleSoft is 3,500 per course and the annual subscription fee is 6,500."
"The expenses related to the solution are nominal."
"I don't know if they are still providing licenses or if they have suspending licenses."
"One of the cheapest solutions available and also one of the best."
"Mostly yearly payments are to be made toward licensing costs. It is not much of an expensive solution."
"The product's cost depends on the number of people in your company or the number of paychecks processed. They charge based on these factors, plus a maintenance fee. I'm not sure about current pricing since Oracle took over."
