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.

Provides unified access to multiple HR functions and reduces navigation effort
I am generally satisfied with the talent management capabilities in Oracle HCM Cloud, but as I mentioned, there are certain pages that really lag sometimes and there are a lot of bugs in talent management. Before, when it had a responsive UI, it was fine, but after it switched to Redwood, I feel there are bugs, and the functionality stated in the documents is not accurate. It takes some time to get that feature, and we need to raise product SR or ask in the community how it works. It's not easily understandable, especially in the talent management area. One potential area of improvement for Oracle HCM Cloud is that it lags. It takes time to reflect the pages, and the loading time now requires us to wait for the page to load. Earlier, we used to click and see the page immediately. However, now we need to wait for it to get loaded, which can be frustrating when working in a fast mode.

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 solution has a great payroll 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 performance appraisal is the most valuable feature."
"Meta4 HCM helps us consolidate HR data across various regions."
"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."
"This solution would be good and more cost-effective than an SAP if you are only looking for HR functionality."
"The initial setup or implementation process of the solution is fine. The deployment process took place in two days. So, once one has the runbook and everything in place, it is not that difficult."
"The UI has helped us decrease the cost of training our users to use different aspects of the system, as it is very modern and has aspects that the users are familiar with from other sites, like Amazon or Apple, so the tool is very simple for them."
"I find Oracle HCM Cloud very useful for gathering data or information, with its best benefit being data integration."
"The most valuable features in Oracle HCM Cloud are the employee and manager self-services."
"It is a configurable, scalable solution."
"Oracle HCM Cloud is easier to use than Oracle ETS. Everything is included on one page, and we no longer need to do workarounds. For example, creating elements, eligibility profiles, and formulas is much easier."
"Offers a good balanced scorecard capability."
"As Oracle HCM Cloud is quite a robust solution, I like it versus other solutions."
 

Cons

"The HR portal, training model, and the development career model all need improvement."
"Meta4 could improve by allowing users to manage things by themself."
"For companies in the Gulf area, I would not recommend this solution."
"I think the areas of training and performance could be improved in the solution."
"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."
"There is room for improvements, such as including AI solutions for people management to improve job descriptions, recruitment reels, skills mapping, etc."
"Continuous improvements of Meta4 releases include a number of patches that are not always tested."
"There are difficulties regarding the reporting part."
"The interface could be more user friendly."
"Oracle HCM Cloud could improve by adding AI and more offline capabilities."
"The data uploading part and backup could be better. They are a bit complex."
"Sometimes implementation documentation is a bit behind."
"HCM's analytics features could be improved."
"The GUI interface should be more user-friendly."
"The interfaces could be improved because when you're going into the landing page, the interfaces look a bit blunt when they could be more user-friendly."
"The implementation was complex. We needed a third-party Oracle partner to help us to set up the solution."
 

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."
"The product could be more affordable."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"It is definitely super expensive. Oracle is very, very expensive for what they offer."
"Oracle HCM offers many features at a low price."
"There is a subscription to use this solution, and there can be additional fees."
"The is a license needed to use the solution. The license can be paid in different increments, such as quarterly."
"The contract for one of them will be extended for three years and for another one for two years. One of them is paying monthly, and another one is paying per quarter. I don't know about the third one. So, it differs."
"I don't know how much it costs, but I know that everything is included. We don't pay anything extra apart from the licensing fee."
