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

"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."
"The solution is very helpful as it allows us to optimize and consolidate all the data for talent management."
"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."
"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 solution has a great payroll engine."
"It is simple to use and can streamline processes because it does not require further development."
"With the product being in the cloud, that means that the users don't have to worry about having servers on premises, they don't have to worry about all the infrastructure, all the upgrades."
"The solution has good integration with other applications."
"I rate Oracle HCM Cloud nine out of ten."
"This solution has localized the payroll which is a good thing."
"All the features are good."
"I like that it is mobile responsive and you can work directly with the vendor on specific requirements that you might have."
"What I like best about Oracle HCM Cloud is that its configuration is okay. I also like it in terms of updates. Product updates that take place from time to time improve Oracle HCM Cloud. What I also found valuable in the product is that since it's on cloud, you can work with it from any place."
 

Cons

"The first response usually lacks depth, and if it were just an HR user submitting tickets, the outcome might be poor."
"There is room for improvements, such as including AI solutions for people management to improve job descriptions, recruitment reels, skills mapping, etc."
"The HR portal, training model, and the development career model all need improvement."
"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."
"There are difficulties regarding the reporting part."
"The user interface could be improved and the maintenance is complex when it comes to upgrades."
"I would like to have recruitment and acquisition features added to this solution."
"Although the performance management is good, it could be improved as its functionality is quite basic."
"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."
"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."
"The GUI interface should be more user-friendly."
"The user interface is not conducive to high volume data entry."
"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."
"Occasionally there are problems with stability."
"There should be more digital assistance included, like chatbots."
 

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."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten."
"There is a license required for the use of this solution and we are on an annual license."
"I cannot comment on the cost, as this is handled by a different team."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"The data traffic cost is expensive. The solution can scale up beyond my imagination, but the cost can rise up easily."
"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."
