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.

Senior people and systems analyst at B_labs & Mylo
Has improved HR process efficiency through intuitive workflows and responsive support
There is something that could be improved in Workday, specifically in the time tracking module. While I am not working on Workday now, I was a regional HRIS working for Egypt, Malta, India, and China. I mention these countries to relate to high population countries and companies. In our company, we use assigned work schedules for our teams. Because we work with the time tracking module, we need to assign shifts. In the manufacturing industry, we might need to change shifts every day or week. Manufacturing teams are huge, approximately 50 to 200 people in one team. If this team has one leader, the leader needs to assign a work schedule for each person individually. While there is mass upload functionality where we can load shifts for all people or specific groups, we need to select multiple people and assign them to a schedule from the interface itself. I have requested this functionality many times. When extracting business processes awaiting actions report, I can select different processes in one box, hit okay, and the report comes up. However, the same functionality does not work for work schedule assigning. If implemented, it would help many people in companies with high populations and big teams.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"If you are looking for a product with great support, recruitment functionality, ease-of-use, and reliability, this is a great product."
"It has a user-friendly interface in managing job requisitions for the end user."
"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."
"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."
"It provides a centralised repository of information for various HR functions."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a cloud-based system and easy to use."
"Performance and good usability are the two most valuable features of this solution."
"The solution is extremely stable."
"It is a leading talent management tool, and it has got the largest market share."
"What I appreciate best about Workday is the recruiting component."
"The product is a complete solution for security."
"The solution has allowed leaders to self-serve, and we have fewer systems, less manual data entry, and less processing."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of reporting."
 

Cons

"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."
"In our experience, PageUp has not been as flexible as we would like or expect as a vendor."
"It is probably not as scalable as SAP SuccessFactors or other talent management systems that are available in the global marketplace."
"Personally, I believe that they could be more proactive in assuring that, as a client, you are getting the best ROI possible."
"The ability to pull reports was limited for us."
"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."
"Initially, we experienced issues with the stability of the learning management module as we migrated 50,000+ existing training records from our old system."
"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."
"They don't have worker payroll in the product. We have to solve our payroll. I hope one day they will be able to have their own localized standard payrolls for all countries."
"In addition to the lost data, the solution is slow to pull up information and I am not sure if this is due to the botched implementation or if it is the solution itself."
"They do a great job of selling the tool, but for support, you are kind of on your own."
"The finance module of this solution is not great and needs improvement."
"They don't offer any backend database access. This is one limitation that I found in this product. Workday hasn't opened up about what kind of database they are into, which can make it easy for the technical team to emulate issues. It would be good if they can offer backend access to the technical team. It would be helpful if they can also provide a Troubleshooting Guide that we can use to troubleshoot issues. When we have an issue, there are very limited resources to refer to."
"The ability to drive more analytics on a customizable level would be helpful."
"Setting up reports can be a bit tricky."
"The UI, UX (user experience) is very bad. It is not very interactive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"With a bigger budget, I would recommend SAP."
"The pricing is good from an HR perspective, although management gets upset after spending $500,000 a year, every year."
"The solution’s pricing is better than SAP SuccessFactors."
"I need to pay for a license. It is expensive."
"It's very, very expensive."
"It is on a yearly basis."
"Workday is an expensive solution."
"Each module comes with an additional cost. It operates on a mid-price model. So, there is an additional payment for each module needed. The solution might be costlier for smaller companies, making it more suitable for mid to large-sized enterprises."
