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

"The tool provides a lot of options."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the payment engine."
"The solution has a great payroll engine."
"The most valuable features of Meta4 are payroll and resource recruitment. However, all of the features in the human resource system are useful."
"The solution is very helpful as it allows us to optimize and consolidate all the data for talent management."
"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."
"It helps to optimize some workflows and provides reporting capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the support for mobile devices."
"Oracle HCM Cloud's most valuable feature is that it is user-friendly."
"This solution is user friendly and can be used on a mobile phone without a computer."
"HCM solution that's easy to set up and scale, with good data integration and technical support."
"I like the interfaces, and they are fine. I would like to see more interfaces."
"Oracle is a strong option for purchasing or procurement."
"What I like best about Oracle HCM Cloud is that its configuration is okay. I also like it in terms of updates. Product updates that take place from time to time improve Oracle HCM Cloud. What I also found valuable in the product is that since it's on cloud, you can work with it from any place."
"The integration capabilities of Oracle HCM Cloud are valuable, particularly its support for managing global HR operations, including absence management, talent management, employee recruitment, and performance evaluations."
 

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."
"training and performance could be improved."
"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."
"The solution is a little bit slow."
"I would like to have recruitment and acquisition features added to this solution."
"There are difficulties regarding the reporting part."
"The solutions could improve by having better performance. There are times when we have experienced some delays. The reports could be quicker."
"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."
"Product integration, particularly with collaboration tools, is lacking in this solution."
"Lacks relevancy for the current generation."
"It's not so easy to customize as it's cloud-based."
"An employee needs training to apply for leave, something as simple as that. They shouldn't need training materials or user guides to navigate the system. We're moving towards empowering users, especially with end-user-facing systems. People should be self-reliant and not need to rely on manuals. Oracle HCM Cloud is very old-school in this regard."
"The solution's approvals hierarchy or employee hierarchy needs some improvement and more flexibility."
"It would be very nice if we were able to roll back transactions from data that was loaded with the data loader."
 

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."
"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 rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"Oracle HCM offers many features at a low price."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"It has a licensing cost. It has a cloud-based subscription, which is quite cheap."
"Pricing is largely determined by what is agreed upon."
