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

"Meta4 HCM helps us consolidate HR data across various regions."
"The solution is very helpful as it allows us to optimize and consolidate all the data for talent management."
"The tool provides a lot of options."
"It helps to optimize some workflows and provides reporting capabilities."
"The performance appraisal is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"It allowed us to fully automate payroll/salary processing for 6000 employees, and this is now operated by only three people."
"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."
"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."
"If you are looking for a product with great support, recruitment functionality, ease-of-use, and reliability, this is a great product."
"The talent acquisition and the onboarding components of the system are most valuable."
"Once automated through the system, the approval timeframe decreased to two days."
"It has a user-friendly interface in managing job requisitions for the end user."
"It provides a centralised repository of information for various HR functions."
"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."
 

Cons

"Continuous improvements of Meta4 releases include a number of patches that are not always tested."
"The first response usually lacks depth, and if it were just an HR user submitting tickets, the outcome might be poor."
"The Solution is stable, yet when the data became huge, the Payroll Users are facing slow execution of the Payroll."
"The solution is a little bit slow."
"I rate the support from Meta4 a two out of five."
"The HR portal, training model, and development career model could all use improvement. Stability and scalability should be improved as well."
"The user interface could be improved and the maintenance is complex when it comes to upgrades."
"I would like to have recruitment and acquisition features added to this solution."
"The automated removal of historical data would be great if the user could remove it on an ad-hoc basis when required."
"The on-boarding process, with specific relation to the provisioning process, isn’t set up as well as other competitors, such as RedCarpet (SilkRoad)."
"It is probably not as scalable as SAP SuccessFactors or other talent management systems that are available in the global marketplace."
"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."
"Initially, we experienced issues with the stability of the learning management module as we migrated 50,000+ existing training records from our old system."
"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 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."
"There are sometimes problems when loading the system; it can be very slow."
 

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."
