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

"The performance appraisal is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of Meta4 are payroll and resource recruitment. However, all of the features in the human resource system are useful."
"The tool provides a lot of options."
"The solution has a great payroll engine."
"Recently, support has been excellent."
"Performance appraisal might be the most valuable feature for us."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the payment engine."
"Meta4 HCM helps us consolidate HR data across various regions."
"The solution has good integration with other applications."
"Robust and very dependable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the core HR, absence, payroll, and recruitment modules."
"As Oracle HCM Cloud is quite a robust solution, I like it versus other solutions."
"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."
"The solution's scalability potential is very good. We have more than 1,000 users ourselves."
"In general, functionality is fine."
 

Cons

"I rate the support from Meta4 a two out of five."
"For companies in the Gulf area, I would not recommend this solution."
"Meta4 could improve by allowing users to manage things by themself."
"I think the areas of training and performance could be improved in the solution."
"The HR portal, training model, and the development career model all need improvement."
"There are difficulties regarding the reporting part."
"There is room for improvements, such as including AI solutions for people management to improve job descriptions, recruitment reels, skills mapping, etc."
"The first response usually lacks depth, and if it were just an HR user submitting tickets, the outcome might be poor."
"Sometimes implementation documentation is a bit behind."
"The product needs to keep improving the integration tools and the tools to load the data - that whole mechanism - in order to allow for flexibility in the configuration."
"Once we are done working on a template, we can't change it unless we create a new one."
"The recruitment aspect is good, but it's new and it still needs some enhancements. In the future, we hope it will be similar to Taleo."
"The native mobile application TAP is in great need of improvement."
"Exposure to users on the volume or utilization of servers and memory is necessary. Currently, when users hit the threshold, the system experiences a slowdown."
"There should be more digital assistance included, like chatbots."
"It's not so easy to customize as it's cloud-based."
 

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."
"Pricing is largely determined by what is agreed upon."
"The cost of Oracle HCM Cloud is high, it could be reduced. There is an annual subscription and it is user-based."
"I am not normally involved in the product's pricing since it normally involves the packages that a user chooses. Pricing differs based on a case-to-case scenario and client-to-client basis."
"The data traffic cost is expensive. The solution can scale up beyond my imagination, but the cost can rise up easily."
"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."
"The price for Oracle HCM Cloud is expensive in Iran, but in other countries, such as Turkey, it can be reasonably priced."
"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."
"The product could be more affordable."
