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:

"HCM solution that's easy to set up and scale, with good data integration and technical support."

"It's highly stable because the system is totally managed by Oracle, Oracle provides 99.9% availability for the system uptime."
"Oracle is a strong option for purchasing or procurement."
 

Cons

"The first response usually lacks depth, and if it were just an HR user submitting tickets, the outcome might be poor."
"The HR portal, training model, and the development career model all need improvement."
"The solution is a little bit slow."
"The user interface could be improved and the maintenance is complex when it comes to upgrades."
"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."
"There are difficulties regarding the reporting part."
"Meta4 could improve by allowing users to manage things by themself."
"From the feedback that I get, the functional side of the payroll could be improved."
"What's not working that well at the moment is the information flow between the different HR modules. This can be improved by Oracle."
"We have received some unfavorable feedback regarding Oracle HCM Cloud's performance. This has led us to investigate alternative solutions. In my own experience, I have struggled with the slowness of the cloud assessment and the overwhelming complexity of the software's robust architecture. I have reservations about sharing any positive experiences I may have had with the solution."
"Oracle HCM Cloud could improve in its integration with access control devices."
"Oracle HCM Cloud could improve by adding AI and more offline capabilities."
"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 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."
"HCM's analytics features could be improved."
 

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."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten."
"On average, it's not a cheap solution."
"The data traffic cost is expensive. The solution can scale up beyond my imagination, but the cost can rise up easily."
"Oracle HCM Cloud is pricey, but price-wise, it's now more competitive than in the past year. Here in Central Europe, people also look at the pricing, but Central Europe falls under the UAE and Abu Dhabi in terms of headquarters, management, and strategy, but those states don't care too much about the pricing. Pricing is a significant factor in choosing a solution. In the past, Oracle HCM Cloud was compared to the SAP solution, the largest competitor and up to thirty percent higher in price. Now, Oracle HCM Cloud has a price increase of five to ten percent, which could be pricier than SAP now, but it's a more competitive product nowadays and comparable to SAP."
"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 solution is quite expensive for small and medium-sized companies."
"I cannot comment on the cost, as this is handled by a different team."
"It is definitely super expensive. Oracle is very, very expensive for what they offer."
