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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool provides a lot of options."
"Performance appraisal might be the most valuable feature for us."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the payment engine."
"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."
"It helps to optimize some workflows and provides reporting capabilities."
"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."
"This solution would be good and more cost-effective than an SAP if you are only looking for HR functionality."
"I would definitely recommend Cornerstone Performance."
 

Cons

"The first response usually lacks depth, and if it were just an HR user submitting tickets, the outcome might be poor."
"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."
"For companies in the Gulf area, I would not recommend this solution."
"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."
"To put it bluntly, the e-Mind product is obsolete older technology, and has no upgrade path for the new PeopleNet product."
"Reporting (although it doesn't always work as intended)."
"The competency assessment is not as flexible as the rest of the solution features. I would like more options for customization."
 

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."
