HF
Project Manager, HRIS at a energy/utilities company with 1,001-5,000 employees
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.

Director at Edge HR
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

"This solution would be good and more cost-effective than an SAP if you are only looking for HR functionality."
"Recently, support has been excellent."
"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."
"Stability of this solution is very good, it's a good product."
"It allowed us to fully automate payroll/salary processing for 6000 employees, and this is now operated by only three people."
"The solution has a great payroll engine."
"The most valuable feature is you can customize every type of payroll calculation that you have."
"The talent acquisition and the onboarding components of the system are most valuable."
"It is a reliable, simple to use, end-to-end system for employee lifecycle management."
"If you are looking for a product with great support, recruitment functionality, ease-of-use, and reliability, this is a great product."
"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."
"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."
"This product is user-friendly and great for reporting purposes."
"I loved that function, as it made it SO much easier to work out the logistics of those days, and allowing candidates to book their own time slot was a lifesaver as it would have been a nightmare trying to do it for them."
"It has a user-friendly interface in managing job requisitions for the end user."
 

Cons

"There are difficulties regarding the reporting part."
"Continuous improvements of Meta4 releases include a number of patches that are not always tested."
"I would like to have recruitment and acquisition features added to this solution."
"Meta4 could improve by allowing users to manage things by themself."
"The solution is a little bit slow."
"Their technical support isn't so good."
"I think the areas of training and performance could be improved in the solution."
"The first response usually lacks depth, and if it were just an HR user submitting tickets, the outcome might be poor."
"The ability to pull reports was limited for us."
"Personally, I believe that they could be more proactive in assuring that, as a client, you are getting the best ROI possible."
"It is probably not as scalable as SAP SuccessFactors or other talent management systems that are available in the global marketplace."
"Initially, we experienced issues with the stability of the learning management module as we migrated 50,000+ existing training records from our old system."
"In our experience, PageUp has not been as flexible as we would like or expect as a vendor."
"Reporting could be improved. Some changes were made to functionality a year or two ago, and whilst there have certainly been some improvements in some areas (in terms of the dashboard view, for example), we have experienced some difficulty in trying to automate some fairly standard reports to be sent out to our hiring areas regarding current recruitment in their respective areas."
"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."
"The automated removal of historical data would be great if the user could remove it on an ad-hoc basis when required."
 

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."
"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."
