Featured Reviews

Abdul-Rauf - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager Payroll Services & Operations at Meshsol Technologies
Simplifies payroll processing and reduces the need for extensive marketing efforts while providing scalability, compliance, and excellent stability
I believe there is room for enhancement in the scope of services. We encountered challenges at times in clearly defining it, particularly because the firewall domain is extensive and demands localization for this service. Consequently, there is occasional confusion regarding whether a service falls under the standard category or is considered an add-on. I think there is a need for a deeper level of comprehension.
AanilaNanda - PeerSpot reviewer
Human Resources Intern at a government with 10,001+ employees
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

"I like the reporting feature as it allows me to generate reports independently without relying on a payroll consultant."
"They are very strong in terms of having a central regional system. A regional person can see and monitor the calendar for each different country."
"The most valuable feature was that everything was in one system."
"The advantage was that ADP Streamline was inherently designed to serve as a marketing engine for the company."
"It has good navigation, and it is user friendly and secure. Every three months, there is an upgrade, and it has new features."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the core HR, absence, payroll, and recruitment modules."
"It is very user-friendly. Most of the UI is very intuitive so you don't need to follow a course to follow it up."
"The tool's implementation has resulted in significant time savings, ranging from 30 to 50 percent across various processes. Oracle HCM, particularly its payroll functionality, has proven to be highly valuable for our organization. Additionally, the ability to implement various customizations has proven valuable. The robust nature of Oracle HCM Cloud ensures high accuracy."
"I rate Oracle HCM Cloud nine out of ten."
"The solution is very good at building out a roadmap based on client needs and feedback."
"Robust and very dependable."
"It's highly stable because the system is totally managed by Oracle, Oracle provides 99.9% availability for the system uptime."
 

Cons

"Having more clear guidance on design and training would be beneficial."
"They could improve the service relationship manager (SRM), because they have an SRM which is not familiar with Simple."
"I think there is a need for a deeper level of comprehension."
"The UI could be improved to be a bit more modern or trendy because it looks old-fashioned compared to other systems."
"Oracle needs to make some sort of support repository that is up to date."
"An employee needs training to apply for leave, something as simple as that. They shouldn't need training materials or user guides to navigate the system. We're moving towards empowering users, especially with end-user-facing systems. People should be self-reliant and not need to rely on manuals. Oracle HCM Cloud is very old-school in this regard."
"The compensation module needs further automation."
"I would like to see more flexibility in integration interfaces for different functions."
"I would like to see improvements in the user experience, specifically reducing the number of clicks required to achieve desired outcomes. Additionally, enhancing the look and feel of the front end and allowing for a greater level of configuration would be beneficial. Its pricing should be less."
"Although the performance management is good, it could be improved as its functionality is quite basic."
"The performance and reaction time can be improved."
"The recruitment aspect is good, but it's new and it still needs some enhancements. In the future, we hope it will be similar to Taleo."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The amount we pay is not low, and it is not high. It is average."
"Our company had a standardized pricing model based on the number of employees."
"Oracle HCM Cloud is pricey, but price-wise, it's now more competitive than in the past year. Here in Central Europe, people also look at the pricing, but Central Europe falls under the UAE and Abu Dhabi in terms of headquarters, management, and strategy, but those states don't care too much about the pricing. Pricing is a significant factor in choosing a solution. In the past, Oracle HCM Cloud was compared to the SAP solution, the largest competitor and up to thirty percent higher in price. Now, Oracle HCM Cloud has a price increase of five to ten percent, which could be pricier than SAP now, but it's a more competitive product nowadays and comparable to SAP."
"It is definitely super expensive. Oracle is very, very expensive for what they offer."
"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."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The solution is quite expensive for small and medium-sized companies."
"According to the Turkish market, the pricing is a little bit expensive."
"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."
"On average, it's not a cheap solution."
