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.

Has all-inclusive pricing and good talent acquisition and onboarding components, and is an excellent product for mid-sized to large organizations
They could probably add surveying, as in engagement surveys, to their product. That would be something that would be valued by their customers. For instance, Culture Amp is a product that does a lot of the engagement stuff. They're diversifying into other aspects of talent management. It is not yet at the same scale as PageUp People, but it is an excellent product as well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Performance appraisal might be the most valuable feature for us."
"It is the most complete and customizable solution on the market."
"The solution is very helpful as it allows us to optimize and consolidate all the data for talent management."
"This solution would be good and more cost-effective than an SAP if you are only looking for HR functionality."
"It helps to optimize some workflows and provides reporting capabilities."
"Recently, support has been excellent."
"The most valuable features of Meta4 are payroll and resource recruitment. However, all of the features in the human resource system are useful."
"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."
"It provides a centralised repository of information for various HR functions."
"PageUp has allowed us to integrate all HR systems and manage all processes associated with the employee lifecycle from recruitment through to managing performance, learning and development; also where applicable, departures from the organisation processes."
"The talent acquisition and the onboarding components of the system are most valuable."
"This product is user-friendly and great for reporting purposes."
"Most of features in PageUp are very useful."
"Once automated through the system, the approval timeframe decreased to two days."
"I have recommended PageUp to a lot of my networks due to the fact that it is one of the best systems on the market in terms of functionality, support, and reporting capability."
"If you are looking for a product with great support, recruitment functionality, ease-of-use, and reliability, this is a great product."
 

Cons

"Meta4 could improve by allowing users to manage things by themself."
"Their technical support is not so good."
"There are difficulties regarding the reporting part."
"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."
"There is room for improvements, such as including AI solutions for people management to improve job descriptions, recruitment reels, skills mapping, etc."
"The solution is a little bit slow."
"The HR portal, training model, and development career model could all use improvement. Stability and scalability should be improved as well."
"The on-boarding process, with specific relation to the provisioning process, isn’t set up as well as other competitors, such as RedCarpet (SilkRoad)."
"Maybe there is a need to improve the interface so that we will be able to easily search for modules in regards to the system fix."
"In our experience, PageUp has not been as flexible as we would like or expect as a vendor."
"There are sometimes problems when loading the system; it can be very slow."
"The automated removal of historical data would be great if the user could remove it on an ad-hoc basis when required."
"It is probably not as scalable as SAP SuccessFactors or other talent management systems that are available in the global marketplace."
"The ability to pull reports was limited for us."
"In the Boolean search functions, I would like to be able to search CVs in regards to the skills using the AND/OR functions as well as keywords."
 

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."
"PageUp has a different model from other organizations. As part of their pricing structure, they tend to work with you very closely and not charge you for the setup. So, there is one price all inclusive of setup, and for that reason, they become an attractive provider to work with. Here in Australia, the education sector has gravitated very heavily towards PageUp."
