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.

Newcomers benefit from automation and user-friendly integration
PeopleSoft is affordable for existing customers only, not for new customers. The popularity is declining for several reasons. Resources are moving to cloud solutions such as Workday cloud. Even though it is the same Oracle environment, professionals are transitioning due to challenges in availability, scalability, and resource allocation. When there are limited hiring opportunities for a particular technology, professionals must consider switching technologies either internally within their organization or personally. If a project ends and someone is placed on bench without new opportunities, they often need to switch to technologies with more market demand. Currently, resources are frequently moving to other ERP systems such as Workday, SAP, Mulesoft, and Salesforce, as there are numerous ERP systems in the marketplace.

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."
"The performance appraisal is the most valuable feature."
"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 most valuable feature is you can customize every type of payroll calculation that you have."
"The solution has a great payroll engine."
"The solution is very helpful as it allows us to optimize and consolidate all the data for talent management."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Meta4 are payroll and resource recruitment. However, all of the features in the human resource system are useful."
"I would rate scalability a nine out of ten."
"The time system is what we get the most benefit from."
"PeopleSoft is scalable."
"PeopleSoft is resilient and has the flexibility for us to customize it."
"The customization and catering to our specific needs have helped."
"Stability-wise, it is a good tool."
"A solid and mature product."
"It's great for helping users deal with their supply chain."
 

Cons

"The user interface could be improved and the maintenance is complex when it comes to upgrades."
"There are difficulties regarding the reporting part."
"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."
"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."
"Meta4 could improve by allowing users to manage things by themself."
"The first response usually lacks depth, and if it were just an HR user submitting tickets, the outcome might be poor."
"Initial setup can be complex without training or use of consultants."
"In my opinion, it needs more performance, maybe something technical related, because it's very slow for us and even small activities take a while."
"Areas that need improvement are the add-ons to the fluid pages and additional features in SCM and finance, both functionally and technically."
"The product is not intuitive, and finding the right candidate can be arduous."
"The UI and user experience are not great, and it's not as feature-rich as today's systems. Furthermore, our implementation does not include all the components we need, like payroll or some other functions."
"The area that could be improved is the upgrade process, it's not the easiest. Oracle stopped supporting our version. So we have to move either to the cloud or work in a non-supported situation. That was certainly a disadvantage. That's also the reason why we decided not to stay with Oracle. Now we are moving to SAP."
"Services that need improvement include PeopleSoft Query, Pivot Grids, and PeopleSoft Test Framework."
"The implementation of PeopleSoft is quite complex and is not as easy as other cloud products such as SuccessFactor or Workday."
 

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."
"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
"The product's cost depends on the number of people in your company or the number of paychecks processed. They charge based on these factors, plus a maintenance fee. I'm not sure about current pricing since Oracle took over."
"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
"The expenses related to the solution are nominal."
"I would consider this to be an expensive product, but the quality justifies it."
"Check all options before a decision is made."
"Yearly payments are to be made toward the licensing costs of PeopleSoft. PeopleSoft is not very expensive, so I feel it is an affordable product."
"The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive."
