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.

"Oracle HCM Cloud's most valuable feature is that it is user-friendly."
"The Talent Management solution is one of the best available in the market, and even other areas, like Core HR and Compensations, are highly customizable for a cloud product."
 

Cons

"Continuous improvements of Meta4 releases include a number of patches that are not always tested."
"There are difficulties regarding the reporting part."
"The HR portal, training model, and development career model could all use improvement. Stability and scalability should be improved as well."

"To put it bluntly, the e-Mind product is obsolete older technology, and has no upgrade path for the new PeopleNet product."

"Although the performance management is good, it could be improved as its functionality is quite basic."
"Once we are done working on a template, we can't change it unless we create a new one."
"It would be very nice if we were able to roll back transactions from data that was loaded with the data loader."
"With HCM Cloud, I have only created two or three SRs, and so far, not bad, but I wouldn't go to phenomenal yet."
"I would focus on making high volume recruitment more bulky."
"It's not so easy to customize as it's cloud-based."

"I haven't personally dealt with the cost details, but based on client feedback, Oracle HCM Cloud is considered expensive due to additional support costs on top of licensing fees."
"The product could be more affordable."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The price of Oracle HCM Cloud could improve. However, everyone would like the price of a solution they are using to be less expensive."
