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."
"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 is very helpful as it allows us to optimize and consolidate all the data for talent management."
"Meta4 HCM helps us consolidate HR data across various regions."
"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."
"This solution would be good and more cost-effective than an SAP if you are only looking for HR functionality."
"Recently, support has been excellent."
"Performance appraisal might be the most valuable feature for us."
"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."
"Oracle HCM Cloud is highly scalable."
"It is designed in such way that end users can do their jobs without knowing much technical details."
"The product's most valuable feature is the centralization of data."
"It has good navigation, and it is user friendly and secure. Every three months, there is an upgrade, and it has new features."
"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."
"It has good navigation, and it is user friendly and secure."
"I would recommend Oracle HCM Cloud to others."
 

Cons

"To put it bluntly, the e-Mind product is obsolete older technology, and has no upgrade path for the new PeopleNet product."
"training and performance could be improved."
"The HR portal, training model, and the development career model all need improvement."
"Their technical support is not so good."
"For companies in the Gulf area, I would not recommend this solution."
"Their technical support isn't so good."
"The first response usually lacks depth, and if it were just an HR user submitting tickets, the outcome might be poor."
"I rate the support from Meta4 a two out of five."
"Legal local legislation integration could improve."
"HCM's analytics features could be improved."
"Integration. We still have Oracle E-Business Suite in other business areas, so integration of HCM Cloud into it would be an improvement."
"Visually, Oracle HCM Cloud needs improvement. For example, the employee portal looks rather old, so it would be awesome if Oracle refreshed its design or if the portal looked more modern."
"The data uploading part and backup could be better. They are a bit complex. Oracle is continuously changing it from one functionality to another. It's a bit unstable right now, and it's basically on the backend data upload part. If I have to upload, for example, data for 100 employees, it's a bit of a challenge for an end-user. It can be difficult if you're not a technical person and an end-user like me. I administer the platform, and if I get a request to upload and I'm not a technical person, then I'm just lost. I have to do some research and then complete the task. But it's evolving, and I hope it's more user-friendly in the future. In the next release, I would like a more stable mobile application. The current version isn't very stable. It takes time to open, and although they have come up with new UI pages, a few open areas need to be addressed. I would also like to see more robust and user-friendly data uploading techniques that would be helpful for end users like us. We don't have a technical background, and we just want to upload the data for our day-to-day operations."
"In some cases, the price may be lower depending on what is negotiated."
"The support from Oracle HCM Cloud is great, they are responsive and helpful. However, they still could improve."
"Despite having an SLA contract, the technical support is still terrible."
 

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."
"Oracle HCM offers many features at a low price."
"It has a licensing cost. It has a cloud-based subscription, which is quite cheap."
"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."
"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."
"It is definitely super expensive. Oracle is very, very expensive for what they offer."
"I haven't personally dealt with the cost details, but based on client feedback, Oracle HCM Cloud is considered expensive due to additional support costs on top of licensing fees."
"There is a subscription to use this solution, and there can be additional fees."
