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

"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 has a great payroll engine."
"It helps to optimize some workflows and provides reporting capabilities."
"The performance appraisal is the most valuable feature."
"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 most valuable feature of this solution is the payment engine."
"The solution is very helpful as it allows us to optimize and consolidate all the data for talent management."
"The tool provides a lot of options."
"I like that it is mobile responsive and you can work directly with the vendor on specific requirements that you might have."
"The newer Redwood team is more client-focused and this is very valuable."
"The integration capabilities of Oracle HCM Cloud are valuable, particularly its support for managing global HR operations, including absence management, talent management, employee recruitment, and performance evaluations."
"Recruitment, talent management, and payroll are the most important features of talent management, especially in the Middle East, where I work. Performance management includes objective settings, performance evaluation, talent review, and succession planning. It also covers goal cascading, setting objectives, performance evaluations, and midyear reviews for performance improvement."
"Oracle HCM Cloud is easier to use than Oracle ETS. Everything is included on one page, and we no longer need to do workarounds. For example, creating elements, eligibility profiles, and formulas is much easier."
"The solution is very good at building out a roadmap based on client needs and feedback."
"Oracle HCM Cloud adds the latest features on a quarterly basis to the cloud, which makes it very easy for customers to adapt to the new features."
"The solution has new features like AI-embedded solutions that are very useful for helping customers gain a lot of new insights."
 

Cons

"The HR portal, training model, and the development career model all need improvement."
"The HR portal, training model, and development career model could all use improvement. Stability and scalability should be improved as well."
"I would like to have recruitment and acquisition features added to this solution."
"The first response usually lacks depth, and if it were just an HR user submitting tickets, the outcome might be poor."
"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."
"The user interface could be improved and the maintenance is complex when it comes to upgrades."
"There is room for improvements, such as including AI solutions for people management to improve job descriptions, recruitment reels, skills mapping, etc."
"Legal local legislation integration could improve."
"The support from Oracle HCM Cloud is great, they are responsive and helpful. However, they still could improve."
"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 product is comparably complex to install and deploy properly."
"Oracle should have different bundles to provide access to courses. Then, we would be able to increase our knowledge on how to use Oracle applications."
"Although the performance management is good, it could be improved as its functionality is quite basic."
"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."
"Oracle HCM Cloud could improve by adding AI and more offline capabilities."
 

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."
"The cost of Oracle HCM Cloud is high, it could be reduced. There is an annual subscription and it is user-based."
"The solution is quite expensive for small and medium-sized companies."
"There is a license required for the use of this solution and we are on an annual license."
"Pricing is largely determined by what is agreed upon."
"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 pricing is reasonable."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"On an annual basis, we pay about $25,000 for our company. This includes the VAT, support, upgrades and everything else."
