Project Manager, HRIS at a energy/utilities company with 1,001-5,000 employees
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 feature is you can customize every type of payroll calculation that you have."
"This solution would be good and more cost-effective than an SAP if you are only looking for HR functionality."
"It allowed us to fully automate payroll/salary processing for 6000 employees, and this is now operated by only three people."
"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 performance appraisal is the most valuable feature."
"Stability of this solution is very good, it's a good product."
"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."
"Robust and very dependable."
"As Oracle HCM Cloud is quite a robust solution, I like it versus other solutions."
"The ability to update your information online from any device is invaluable Performing performance reviews online Removing the need to use paper Giving the data to produce the analytics These weren't possible before we had this system."
"The feature I find most valuable in Oracle HCM Cloud is 'Journeys'. This feature is widely used across clients for onboarding, offboarding, and other automated tasks without manual intervention."
"The tool's implementation has resulted in significant time savings, ranging from 30 to 50 percent across various processes. Oracle HCM, particularly its payroll functionality, has proven to be highly valuable for our organization. Additionally, the ability to implement various customizations has proven valuable. The robust nature of Oracle HCM Cloud ensures high accuracy."
"The support from Oracle HCM Cloud is great, they are responsive and helpful."
"The UI has helped us decrease the cost of training our users to use different aspects of the system, as it is very modern and has aspects that the users are familiar with from other sites, like Amazon or Apple, so the tool is very simple for them."
"It has good navigation, and it is user friendly and secure. Every three months, there is an upgrade, and it has new features."
 

Cons

"For companies in the Gulf area, I would not recommend this solution."
"Meta4 could improve by allowing users to manage things by themself."
"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."
"Their technical support isn't so good."
"I rate the support from Meta4 a two out of five."
"Reporting (although it doesn't always work as intended)."
"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."
"I would focus on making high volume recruitment more bulky."
"The support from Oracle HCM Cloud is great, they are responsive and helpful. However, they still could improve."
"The performance and reaction time can be improved."
"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."
"Oracle HCM Cloud could improve in its integration with access control devices."
"It is a cloud solution, so we cannot do much customization. However, if you have a past license, you can do the customization, but unfortunately, we don't have a past license. If we had that, we would have been 100% happy."
"HCM's analytics features could be improved."
"We're not receiving the proper support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The is a license needed to use the solution. The license can be paid in different increments, such as quarterly."
"The solution is expensive."

"The cost of Oracle HCM Cloud is high, it could be reduced. There is an annual subscription and it is user-based."
"Pricing is largely determined by what is agreed upon."
"It is definitely super expensive. Oracle is very, very expensive for what they offer."
"It has a licensing cost. It has a cloud-based subscription, which is quite cheap."
"I cannot comment on the cost, as this is handled by a different team."
