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.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the payment engine.""The most valuable features of Meta4 are payroll and resource recruitment. However, all of the features in the human resource system are useful.""Performance appraisal might be the most valuable feature for us.""The most valuable feature is you can customize every type of payroll calculation that you have.""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.""The solution has a great payroll engine.""The performance appraisal is the most valuable feature."

"The reporting feature is quite easy for a layman to use, and the look and feel of the application is good. Its security is robust. You will never find a use case that cannot be covered.""Provides flexibility to integrate with the product. It has several tools, out-of-the-box, for integrations. It delivers pre-built interfaces for specific vendors, pre-built generic integrations to extract or push data into Workday through configuration.""The most valuable features of the solution are the usability, learning, and compliance tools.""Performance and good usability are the two most valuable features of this solution.""It is a one-stop solution for everything. You can look for information about other employees or you can track your information. There is a directory, so you can search for other employees. You can also see and track your personal details and salary details on the employee profile page.""I would say that we have definitely seen a return on investment.""Workday is easy to use. Timesheet and resource management are also easy.""In terms of customization, while it may not be fully customizable, you can configure the features based on the foundation that Workday offers. This allows you to take the basic features and tailor them to the specific needs of your company or business. It provides a lot of configuration flexibility."

Cons
"training and performance could be improved.""The solution is a little bit slow.""The HR portal, training model, and the development career model all need improvement.""I would like to have recruitment and acquisition features added to this solution.""The user interface could be improved and the maintenance is complex when it comes to upgrades.""Meta4 could improve by allowing users to manage things by themself.""The HR portal, training model, and development career model could all use improvement. Stability and scalability should be improved as well.""In future releases, it would be useful to see reporting lines of all the team members in our business to understand who reports to whom."

More Cegid Cons →

"For time management, it does not have a calendar generator. For example, if you want to have a shift calendar for an entire year, you need to push the entire year's calendar into the system instead of being able to generate it using a time management pattern.""The user interface could be modernized somehow.""The cost of Workday is certainly not inexpensive. It's very pricey.""The UI, UX (user experience) is very bad. It is not very interactive.""The security console should be made less complex.""It is very unique as compared to other tools in terms of the employee master data and how it is organized. That's why sometimes the information needs to sit in two different systems because, in Workday, it is organized differently. This issue is not related to benefits. It is more or so related to how you categorize employees. I don't think this is a problem that could be solved. Workday is aware of this. It is one of those kinds of situations that you just got to live with.""Workday would be improved with more API connectors.""One potential feature that could be added is the ability to streamline business processes through quick tips and guided tours. This would allow for a smoother and more guided experience for colleagues as they navigate through different processes and steps. It would be similar to a guidance system or a step-by-step tutorial that could be added after the business process to guide users through it."

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."
  • More Cegid Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "With a bigger budget, I would recommend SAP."
  • "Workday is an expensive solution."
  • "You have the license fee per module, and then you have a kind of annual training fee, which is a kind of add-on. I wouldn't say it is exhaustive; it is minor. Licensing is pretty transparent for most of the part."
  • "The pricing is good from an HR perspective, although management gets upset after spending $500,000 a year, every year."
  • "Its price is pretty high. It is more expensive than what is offered by other competitors in the market."
  • "It has an annual subscription rate, but I'm not sure how it will work."
  • "The pricing for this solution is fairly high. It is not affordable for small and mid-sized companies."
  • "By and large, Workday is expensive. It is based on the headcount. I'd probably rate it a three or four out of five in terms of pricing. It'd be like buying a Mercedes or a high-end car. It's expensive, but there's a specific value that you're getting with additional features and things of that nature. Using that metaphor, Workday probably tends to be more of a luxury. There are others like ADP that can do your payroll, your time off, and other things, but they don't do it as well."
