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

"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."
"It helps to optimize some workflows and provides reporting capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the payment engine."
"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 is you can customize every type of payroll calculation that you have."
"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 solution has a great payroll engine."
"The solution is very good at building out a roadmap based on client needs and feedback."
"It is simple to use and can streamline processes because it does not require further development."
"Oracle HCM Cloud adds the latest features on a quarterly basis to the cloud, which makes it very easy for customers to adapt to the new features."
"I rate Oracle HCM Cloud nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is fast reporting."
"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 application design is beautiful."
"Oracle HCM Cloud is essential for security needs and especially for payroll. The payroll feature is very good."
 

Cons

"There are difficulties regarding the reporting part."
"The solution is a little bit slow."
"The user interface could be improved and the maintenance is complex when it comes to upgrades."
"I would like to have recruitment and acquisition features added to this solution."
"training and performance could be improved."
"The HR portal, training model, and development career model could all use improvement. Stability and scalability should be improved as well."
"There is room for improvements, such as including AI solutions for people management to improve job descriptions, recruitment reels, skills mapping, etc."
"The first response usually lacks depth, and if it were just an HR user submitting tickets, the outcome might be poor."
"The support from Oracle HCM Cloud is great, they are responsive and helpful. However, they still could improve."
"The tool should allow more customization for specific requirements. Some processes could be streamlined, and certain features in specific modules must be added."
"Lacks relevancy for the current generation."
"The tool's configurable side allows you to have more flexibility, but at the same time, it creates a lot of confusion that still has to do over so much of the configuration, which are areas that are conflicting in nature."
"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."
"The GUI interface should be more user-friendly."
"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."
"I would focus on making high volume recruitment more bulky."
 

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."
"The price of Oracle HCM Cloud could improve. However, everyone would like the price of a solution they are using to be less expensive."
"Oracle HCM offers many features at a low price."
"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 am not normally involved in the product's pricing since it normally involves the packages that a user chooses. Pricing differs based on a case-to-case scenario and client-to-client basis."
"The cost of Oracle HCM Cloud is high, it could be reduced. There is an annual subscription and it is user-based."
"It has a licensing cost. It has a cloud-based subscription, which is quite cheap."
"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."
"It is definitely super expensive. Oracle is very, very expensive for what they offer."
