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

"Recently, support has been excellent."
"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."
"Meta4 HCM helps us consolidate HR data across various regions."
"The tool provides a lot of options."
"The most valuable feature is you can customize every type of payroll calculation that you have."
"The performance appraisal is the most valuable feature."
"Stability of this solution is very good, it's a good product."
"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."
"Offers a good balanced scorecard capability."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the core HR, absence, payroll, and recruitment modules."
"Oracle HCM Cloud is highly scalable."
"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."
"It has good navigation, and it is user friendly and secure. Every three months, there is an upgrade, and it has new features."
"Robust and very dependable."
"Absence management, self-release, self-service, and raising help desk issues are particularly valuable."
 

Cons

"Continuous improvements of Meta4 releases include a number of patches that are not always tested."
"The user interface could be improved and the maintenance is complex when it comes to upgrades."
"Meta4 could improve by allowing users to manage things by themself."
"The HR portal, training model, and the development career model all need improvement."
"Their technical support is not so good."
"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 first response usually lacks depth, and if it were just an HR user submitting tickets, the outcome might be poor."
"There should be more digital assistance included, like chatbots."
"The solution's approvals hierarchy or employee hierarchy needs some improvement and more flexibility."
"The absence management can use some improvement. Due to all the flexible working, the part with work schedules could be a little bit more flexible."
"Oracle HCM Cloud could improve in its integration with access control devices."
"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."
"In regards to the technical support team, sometimes they are busy and sometimes from the company point of view, you need to track someone specific instead of direct support."
"The support from Oracle HCM Cloud is great, they are responsive and helpful. However, they still could improve."
"In some geographies, you might not find specific localizations. For example, here in Turkey, we can use all Oracle Cloud modules except for payroll. The Oracle payroll module isn't localized for the Turkish system. So, we need to integrate a separate, localized payroll solution with Oracle HCM."
 

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."
"The product could be more affordable."
"There is a subscription to use this solution, and there can be additional fees."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"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."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"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 solution is expensive."
"The is a license needed to use the solution. The license can be paid in different increments, such as quarterly."
