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:

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the payment engine."
"The most valuable feature is you can customize every type of payroll calculation that you have."
"The performance appraisal is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the payment engine."
"Meta4 HCM helps us consolidate HR data across various regions."
"The solution is very helpful as it allows us to optimize and consolidate all the data for talent management."
"The solution has a great payroll engine."
"This solution is very stable."
"We haven't had a single issue with stability, and we've been using it for more than three years."
"The solution has good integration with other applications."
"We have 35,000 employees in our organization, so we consider the solution to be scalable."
"Job postings and links to job boards are very helpful for talent acquisition."
"Business intelligence is integrated with the product and gives real-time information about employees and processes for managers, who can have their analysis delivered in any way (dashboards, table reports, analysis, charts, etc.) with no development cost."
"Absence management, self-release, self-service, and raising help desk issues are particularly valuable."
"I am using Oracle HCM Cloud for human resources management and we have found it to be a very good fit."
 

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."
"There are difficulties regarding the reporting part."
"I would like to have recruitment and acquisition features added to this solution."
"Continuous improvements of Meta4 releases include a number of patches that are not always tested."
"Their technical support isn't so good."
"To put it bluntly, the e-Mind product is obsolete older technology, and has no upgrade path for the new PeopleNet product."
"The Solution is stable, yet when the data became huge, the Payroll Users are facing slow execution of the Payroll."
"Reporting (although it doesn't always work as intended)."
"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."
"One of the challenges that we've discovered is that for some things like report modifications, whenever Oracle provides a new release, they will overlay certain customizations that you have, and then it becomes a real hassle to re-customize for our needs."
"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."
"Integration. We still have Oracle E-Business Suite in other business areas, so integration of HCM Cloud into it would be an improvement."
"We're not receiving the proper support."
"The solution could improve by having better integration between on-premise and the cloud. It can be difficult and time-consuming to migrate our applications and interfaces."
"I believe what could be improved is the EX portion of Oracle HCM Cloud and how it can more easily integrate with other tools."
"I rate this solution a three out of ten."
 

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."
"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."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"I cannot comment on the cost, as this is handled by a different team."
"Pricing is largely determined by what is agreed upon."
"It is definitely super expensive. Oracle is very, very expensive for what they offer."
"On an annual basis, we pay about $25,000 for our company. This includes the VAT, support, upgrades and everything else."
"The data traffic cost is expensive. The solution can scale up beyond my imagination, but the cost can rise up easily."
