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.

Decades of use have delivered secure, customizable control for public sector operations and finance
I have just completed three assessments: one on inventory demand planning, another on using artificial intelligence to bring supplier contracts in portable document format directly into PeopleSoft. PeopleSoft works both internally as well as with third-party products that integrate seamlessly with PeopleSoft. PeopleSoft operates both from a need-to-know-only basis as well as being able at the same time to do group purchase and realize large quantity purchase discounts. My clients have used marketplaces, and it is really industry-specific whether they use one or not, or if there is even one available. I would rate this product nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The most valuable feature is you can customize every type of payroll calculation that you have."
"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."
"The performance appraisal is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the payment engine."
"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."
"Meta4 HCM helps us consolidate HR data across various regions."
"PeopleSoft has been fairly reliable for us. We haven't had any issues with stability."
"PeopleSoft FSCM provides for order management, SCM, human capital management, and CRM, making it a comprehensive ERP system compared to others."
"It provides a very stable platform for us to support key applications, including Procure to Pay, HR/Payroll, AP/AR, Fixed Asset, and Financial Reporting."
"PeopleSoft HCM is a mature, flexible and robust product."
"With the way that my agency uses PeopleSoft, the most valuable feature of it is the ability it gives us to track our contracts and the release against those contracts."
"I think PeopleSoft is a good tool for HR administrators; it's easy to navigate compared to the other ERPs, the management of the tool is straightforward from the employee's perspective so the employee experience is good, and PeopleSoft is intuitive so no one needs to be taught how to use the system."
"If the organization has a sufficient budget and wants to manage talent and support business objectives, then this is the answer."
"A valuable feature is HCM."
 

Cons

"Their technical support isn't so good."
"The HR portal, training model, and development career model could all use improvement. Stability and scalability should be improved as well."
"The HR portal, training model, and the development career model all need improvement."
"The first response usually lacks depth, and if it were just an HR user submitting tickets, the outcome might be poor."
"There is room for improvements, such as including AI solutions for people management to improve job descriptions, recruitment reels, skills mapping, etc."
"Meta4 could improve by allowing users to manage things by themself."
"Reporting (although it doesn't always work as intended)."
"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 solution needs to work on its mobile technology. We're hoping in the next version we're working on implementing, 9.2, will have more of this."
"I would like to see improvement in the UI."
"Processing speed and user-friendliness."
"The API integration could be better."
"Response time takes very long and requires a person to be awake night and day to benefit from it."
"This solution could be improved by lowering the cost of support."
"It would be helpful for the end-user if the reports were customized. They would be able to select the fields while generating their reports."
"PCM, the procurement side, is weak and is far from the strongest product."
 

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."
"It's approximately $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 USD per year."
"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
"The tool is expensive."
"Mostly yearly payments are to be made toward licensing costs. It is not much of an expensive solution."
"This solution offers annual licensing. We pay per user."
"I would consider this to be an expensive product, but the quality justifies it."
"The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive."
"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
