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

"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 tool provides a lot of options."
"Recently, support has been excellent."
"The most valuable features of Meta4 are payroll and resource recruitment. However, all of the features in the human resource system are useful."
"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 solution is very helpful as it allows us to optimize and consolidate all the data for talent management."
"Pricing is competitive."
"This is a very comprehensive solution, covering every aspect of the HCM profit cycle and the life cycle."
"It is very user-friendly, and most of the UI is very intuitive so you don't need to follow a course to use it, with one single UI regardless of your roles so you don't have to log into separate applications depending on whether you're HR or just a normal employee."
"Oracle HCM Cloud's most valuable feature is that it is user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"The solution has good integration with other applications."
"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."
 

Cons

"I rate the support from Meta4 a two out of five."
"There is room for improvements, such as including AI solutions for people management to improve job descriptions, recruitment reels, skills mapping, etc."
"The solution is a little bit slow."
"The user interface could be improved and the maintenance is complex when it comes to upgrades."
"The HR portal, training model, and development career model could all use improvement. Stability and scalability should be improved as well."
"The Solution is stable, yet when the data became huge, the Payroll Users are facing slow execution of the Payroll."
"Their technical support is not so good."
"For companies in the Gulf area, I would not recommend this solution."
"The solution has much room for improvement in all the modules and we are not wholly satisfied with it."
"The solutions could improve by having better performance. There are times when we have experienced some delays. The reports could be quicker."
"The data uploading part and backup could be better. They are a bit complex."
"It would be very nice if we were able to roll back transactions from data that was loaded with the data loader."
"The compensation module needs further automation."
"Oracle's technical support is generally satisfactory yet lacks flexibility and rapid response times."
"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 support from Oracle HCM Cloud is great, they are responsive and helpful. However, they still could improve."
 

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."
"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 data traffic cost is expensive. The solution can scale up beyond my imagination, but the cost can rise up easily."
"Pricing is largely determined by what is agreed upon."
"On average, it's not a cheap solution."
"I cannot comment on the cost, as this is handled by a different team."
"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."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten."
