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."
"It helps to optimize some workflows and provides reporting capabilities."
"The most valuable features of Meta4 are payroll and resource recruitment. However, all of the features in the human resource system are useful."
"The tool provides a lot of options."
"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."
"Performance appraisal might be the most valuable feature for us."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the payment engine."
"The solution is very helpful as it allows us to optimize and consolidate all the data for talent management."
"Job postings and links to job boards are very helpful for talent acquisition."
"In terms of ERP, it's a good product. It's convenient."
"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."
"The newer Redwood team is more client-focused and this is very valuable."
"Since it is an integrated solution, it brings speed and efficiency to the business process."
"What I like most about Oracle HCM Cloud is that I didn't see any area that needs to be dramatically improved. I also appreciate that it has good integration with other Oracle products. The process of integrating Oracle HCM Cloud is rather explanatory. I also found the Oracle library to be helpful. As Oracle HCM Cloud is quite a robust solution, I like it versus other solutions. I like the people at Oracle."
"The technical support is very good."
"It is simple to use and can streamline processes because it does not require further development."
 

Cons

"I would like to have recruitment and acquisition features added to this solution."
"Meta4 could improve by allowing users to manage things by themself."
"The HR portal, training model, and the development career model all need improvement."
"There are difficulties regarding the reporting part."
"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."
"The HR portal, training model, and development career model could all use improvement. Stability and scalability should be improved as well."
"The solution is a little bit slow."
"The solution could improve by having better integration between on-premise and the cloud. It can be difficult and time-consuming to migrate our applications and interfaces."
"I would like to see more flexibility in integration interfaces for different functions."
"The initial setup is straightforward. However, it is more complex than Oracle Taleo because it has a lot more features have complexity."
"I rate the technical support of Oracle HCM Cloud an eight out of ten. There is some room for improvement."
"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."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"I would like to see more direct access for both human resources and employees without so many screens to navigate."
"In some cases, the price may be lower depending on what is negotiated."
 

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."
"Pricing is largely determined by what is agreed upon."
"There is a license required for the use of this solution and we are on an annual license."
"There is a subscription to use this solution, and there can be additional fees."
"It is definitely super expensive. Oracle is very, very expensive for what they offer."
"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."
"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."
"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."
