Overall Satisfaction with Vista HRMS

Currently, it's being used in the HR department with the intention to deliver it across the organization shortly - opportunity to leverage operational factors such as analytics, leave accrual, emergency contacts, recruitment etc.

Pros

  • We can evolve reports to produce metrics that fit the specific needs of the organization. A user can define and create what they need, or contact PDS for assistance. Our ideas don't seem to be impossible - confident that the system can drill into any metric we can think of.
  • Customer support from PDS is fantastic. They respond to our inquiries quickly and professionally.
  • All-in-one package -- this is helpful with planning how to deploy modules without breaking the bank.

Cons

  • Visually, it can improve. It may not be as "cool" as other systems on the market, but the functionality makes up for that tenfold.
  • Upgrades do not always go smoothly on our end but there are diverse factors involved here. We also resolve the issues quickly with PDS.
  • Access to the metrics that we need to support diverse business objectives.
Vista has modules built in the system with maintenance fees that are feasible. The functionality and capabilities of the system are robust - not sure what the system cannot do. The system is reliant on your skills to modify the modules but the customer support team will partner up with you to get the job done.
It is well suited for providing a dashboard for your employees where analytics are presented and you can drill down into particular details; when you require workflow to occur (i.e. to manage leave accrual) for recruitment and succession planning; goal setting and performance reviews; etc. If you need a tool that looks "cool" and is not so dependent on your skills to develop the system, you may not feel this system is right for you.
