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."
"It allowed us to fully automate payroll/salary processing for 6000 employees, and this is now operated by only three people."
"The performance appraisal is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is you can customize every type of payroll calculation that you have."
"The tool provides a lot of options."
"Recently, support has been excellent."
"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 most valuable feature of this solution is the payment engine."
"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."
"Oracle HCM has a great reporting platform, OTPI, with drag-and-drop functionality. I can design my own reports without relying on the technical team. This empowers HR users to create reports based on their needs, which is a huge advantage."
"It has completely changed the way we work, because it automated the majority of our HR processes."
"This is a very comprehensive solution, covering every aspect of the HCM profit cycle and the life cycle."
"Job postings and links to job boards are very helpful for talent acquisition."
"Oracle HCM Cloud is scalable, and Oracle is spending a lot of effort in research and development to increase scalability and speed with the high demand for mobile usage, with approximately 30,000 users using this solution in my organization."
"With the product being in the cloud, that means that the users don't have to worry about having servers on premises, they don't have to worry about all the infrastructure, all the upgrades."
"Compared to earlier, older versions, HCM Cloud has built-in business intelligence and reporting capabilities, and not just transactional, providing actual analytic capabilities that are pretty good, and on the accounts tables side it has built-in document image capturing tools so there is no need to rely on third-party products anymore."
 

Cons

"The HR portal, training model, and development career model could all use improvement. Stability and scalability should be improved as well."
"Their technical support is not so good."
"The Solution is stable, yet when the data became huge, the Payroll Users are facing slow execution of the Payroll."
"I would like to have recruitment and acquisition features added to this solution."
"Continuous improvements of Meta4 releases include a number of patches that are not always tested."
"There is room for improvements, such as including AI solutions for people management to improve job descriptions, recruitment reels, skills mapping, etc."
"I think the areas of training and performance could be improved in the solution."
"The user interface could be improved and the maintenance is complex when it comes to upgrades."
"Despite having an SLA contract, the technical support is still terrible."
"One of the challenges that we've discovered is that for some things like report modifications, whenever Oracle provides a new release, they will overlay certain customizations that you have, and then it becomes a real hassle to re-customize for our needs."
"In some geographies, you might not find specific localizations. For example, here in Turkey, we can use all Oracle Cloud modules except for payroll. The Oracle payroll module isn't localized for the Turkish system. So, we need to integrate a separate, localized payroll solution with Oracle HCM."
"It's not so easy to customize as it's cloud-based."
"What's not working that well at the moment is the information flow between the different HR modules. This can be improved by Oracle."
"I would like to see more flexibility in integration interfaces for different functions."
"The GUI interface should be more user-friendly."
"The native mobile application TAP is in great need of improvement."
 

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."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"The product could be more affordable."
"The is a license needed to use the solution. The license can be paid in different increments, such as quarterly."
"Though I cannot comment on the solution's cost, a fixed cost is involved based on my understanding. The cost multiplies based on the number of users."
"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."
"On an annual basis, we pay about $25,000 for our company. This includes the VAT, support, upgrades and everything else."
"Pricing is largely determined by what is agreed upon."
"Oracle HCM offers many features at a low price."
