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

"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."
"The most valuable features of Meta4 are payroll and resource recruitment, and all of the features in the human resource system are useful."
"It helps to optimize some workflows and provides reporting capabilities."
"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."
"Recently, support has been excellent."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the payment engine."
"The most valuable feature is you can customize every type of payroll calculation that you have."
"It has completely changed the way we work, because it automated the majority of our HR processes."
"As Oracle HCM Cloud is quite a robust solution, I like it versus other solutions."
"We have not had any issues with the stability of this solution."
"We haven't had a single issue with stability, and we've been using it for more than three years."
"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."
"The initial setup or implementation process of the solution is fine. The deployment process took place in two days. So, once one has the runbook and everything in place, it is not that difficult."
"The solution's most valuable features are all the human resources aspects and access management, as well as the talent review. The solution's talent management is very, very good."
"I rate Oracle HCM Cloud nine out of ten."
 

Cons

"Their technical support isn't so good."
"The solution is a little bit slow."
"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."
"The first response usually lacks depth, and if it were just an HR user submitting tickets, the outcome might be poor."
"I think the areas of training and performance could be improved in the solution."
"The HR portal, training model, and development career model could all use improvement. Stability and scalability should be improved as well."
"Reporting (although it doesn't always work as intended)."
"The Solution is stable, yet when the data became huge, the Payroll Users are facing slow execution of the Payroll."
"I believe what could be improved is the EX portion of Oracle HCM Cloud and how it can more easily integrate with other tools."
"I would like to see improvements in the user experience, specifically reducing the number of clicks required to achieve desired outcomes. Additionally, enhancing the look and feel of the front end and allowing for a greater level of configuration would be beneficial. Its pricing should be less."
"The features available in EBS should be available on the cloud as well. When these features are not available on the cloud, it's hard to convince customers to migrate."
"Visually, Oracle HCM Cloud needs improvement. For example, the employee portal looks rather old, so it would be awesome if Oracle refreshed its design or if the portal looked more modern."
"There should be more digital assistance included, like chatbots."
"The support from Oracle HCM Cloud is great, they are responsive and helpful. However, they still could improve."
"The implementation was complex. We needed a third-party Oracle partner to help us to set up the solution."
"The interfaces could be improved because when you're going into the landing page, the interfaces look a bit blunt when they could be more user-friendly."
 

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."
"It has a licensing cost. It has a cloud-based subscription, which is quite cheap."
"There is a license required for the use of this solution and we are on an annual license."
"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 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 is a license needed to use the solution. The license can be paid in different increments, such as quarterly."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"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."
"The data traffic cost is expensive. The solution can scale up beyond my imagination, but the cost can rise up easily."
