Great for large organizations, excellent customization, from a seasoned user.
Our primary use cases are related to payroll The layer of customization is very high and this has improved our organization. The most valuable feature is you can customize every type of payroll calculation that you have. The user interface could be improved and the maintenance is complex when…

Users can directly see the menu, click on what they need, and know what to do
Every system was really hard to set up initially, but I think Workday was okay because it had a really user-friendly UI and UX. When we were implementing the system, we could directly see what we were doing with each feature. So, it was better than others. I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, with ten being easy and one being difficult. The deployment took one and a half years but that was just the first phase. We needed to keep upgrading the system. So, the first phase established a good foundation, and almost everything was in place. So, it was one and a half years.

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 most valuable feature of this solution is the payment engine."
"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 most valuable features of Meta4 are payroll and resource recruitment. However, all of the features in the human resource system are useful."
"The most valuable feature is you can customize every type of payroll calculation that you have."
"The tool provides a lot of options."
"We have fewer systems, less manual data entry, and less processing."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of reporting."
"In the process of obtaining representative sites in NaviNet, it assists us in facilitating decision-making and taking action."
"The solution was very good at reconfiguration and customization of their software. It helped us to meet federal regulations."
"We use Workday for all our employee-related information. It is a central hub where we can access pay slips, tax-related information, tax automation, and tax rules. Additionally, it manages employee hiring processes and other HR functions. It's a one-stop solution where employees can find everything about their profile, work experience, and associated technologies."
"It is quite user-friendly."
"We use this solution to manage financials, payroll and recruiting."
"Workday's best features are planning and finance."
 

Cons

"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."
"training and performance could be improved."
"The solution is a little bit slow."
"I would like to have recruitment and acquisition features added to this solution."
"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 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 price could be lower."
"The solution has some features missing when you put them in the test studio or Confluence Studio. I would like the tool’s coding to be easier to understand and automated. Most of the coding these days is automated. Any query given can pull the answer directly which can make the solution easier to understand."
"Reporting systems should be improved. If you want to report it on paper, if you want something more BI oriented, more high level predictive or more data-driven, it should be improved."
"The finance module of this solution is not great and needs improvement."
"The user interface can be enhanced."
"I would be happy if it was faster. Currently, when I try to navigate within the solution itself, it is a bit slow in terms of the page load time. When I click on something, it usually takes time to load. When you click on different icons or areas on the website, it is slow. Even when you navigate between different models, it is a bit slow. I would like to see a bit faster performance and a better user experience."
"There could be a web-based application for making payments to the employees."
"One area that could be improved with Workday is the analytics side."
 

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."
"Workday is moderately priced - I'd rate its pricing three out of five."
"I need to pay for a license. It is expensive."
"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."
"The pricing is good from an HR perspective, although management gets upset after spending $500,000 a year, every year."
"It is on a yearly basis."
"The pricing for this solution is fairly high. It is not affordable for small and mid-sized companies."
"It's very, very expensive."
"I rate the product’s pricing a ten out of ten."
