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.

Human Resources Intern at a government with 10,001+ employees
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

"Performance appraisal might be the most valuable feature for us."
"The tool provides a lot of options."
"The performance appraisal is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of Meta4 are payroll and resource recruitment. However, all of the features in the human resource system are useful."
"It helps to optimize some workflows and provides reporting capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the payment engine."
"The most valuable features of Meta4 are payroll and resource recruitment, and all of the features in the human resource system are useful."
"The solution has a great payroll engine."
"Oracle HCM Cloud has helped the organization by harmonizing the processes."
"Compared to earlier, older versions, HCM Cloud has built-in business intelligence and reporting capabilities, and not just transactional, providing actual analytic capabilities that are pretty good, and on the accounts tables side it has built-in document image capturing tools so there is no need to rely on third-party products anymore."
"The solution is very good at building out a roadmap based on client needs and feedback."
"All the features are good."
"Our overall evaluation of Oracle HCM Cloud as a general ledger tool is mixed. It is a comprehensive and versatile piece of software."
"This solution is user friendly and can be used on a mobile phone without a computer."
"The solution has good integration with other applications."
"The valuable features of Oracle HCM Cloud are the frequent updates, if there are any discrepancies, we consult with our record directly and they come up with the solution for the betterment of the cloud."
 

Cons

"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."
"To put it bluntly, the e-Mind product is obsolete older technology, and has no upgrade path for the new PeopleNet product."
"I rate the support from Meta4 a two out of five."
"Their technical support isn't so good."
"The solution is a little bit slow."
"Reporting (although it doesn't always work as intended)."
"I think the areas of training and performance could be improved in the solution."
"Meta4 could improve by allowing users to manage things by themself."
"The recruitment aspect is good, but it's new and it still needs some enhancements. In the future, we hope it will be similar to Taleo."
"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 product is comparably complex to install and deploy properly."
"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."
"The mobile capabilities need to be improved."
"There are some modules and suits that are more stable than others. But when it comes to supply chain and financial clients, it's still something written with bugs."
"I think they should have a larger data center in China, which would significantly increase the access speed from my current workspace."
"Exposure to users on the volume or utilization of servers and memory is necessary. Currently, when users hit the threshold, the system experiences a slowdown."
 

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."
"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 data traffic cost is expensive. The solution can scale up beyond my imagination, but the cost can rise up easily."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"The is a license needed to use the solution. The license can be paid in different increments, such as quarterly."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"There is a license required for the use of this solution and we are on an annual license."
"The solution is expensive."
"There is a subscription to use this solution, and there can be additional fees."
