Abdul-Rauf - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
OswinSteve - PeerSpot reviewer
Capable of consolidating data from all countries and providing access to any employee information across locations but poor user experience
Oracle HCM Cloud definitely has a lot to improve from a user experience perspective. The platform is huge and feature-rich, but is it truly appealing to an end user? Is it a two-click solution? Does it match current market trends in user experience? No, it has a lot of catching up to do. For example, is the screen catchy for an employee to see their details or access essential information? No. The user experience is zero. 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. It's still stuck in the "PeopleSoft" mentality instead of focusing on a user-friendly experience for employees and managers. So, the user experience needs a major overhaul. So, to summarize, it needs to be more user-friendly and present key information on the login screen. In future releases, I would like to see employee dashboards. Oracle HCM should come up with ready-made employee dashboards, like very simple ones. Right now, an employee dashboard or a manager dashboard, but these should be readily available. You shouldn't expect a customer to go and design something they need. There are a few basic things any employee or manager in any company would want to see. One of the best things would be a very simple org chart. Now, the org chart is quite poor on Oracle. There are applications that focus only on org charts and look really good, giving a lot of details about a team and its employees. But Oracle's org chart is bad, so to be specific, they should improve it a lot.

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 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."
"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."
"This solution is user friendly and can be used on a mobile phone without a computer."
"Oracle HCM Cloud's most valuable feature is that it is user-friendly."
"HCM Cloud's most valuable feature is its ease of use - it's interlinked, so you can drill down into information."
"The core part and the talent management part are most valuable."
"What I like most about Oracle HCM Cloud is that I didn't see any area that needs to be dramatically improved. I also appreciate that it has good integration with other Oracle products. The process of integrating Oracle HCM Cloud is rather explanatory. I also found the Oracle library to be helpful. As Oracle HCM Cloud is quite a robust solution, I like it versus other solutions. I like the people at Oracle."
"HCM solution that's easy to set up and scale, with good data integration and technical support."
"It is a configurable, scalable solution."
"I would recommend Oracle HCM Cloud to others."
 

Cons

"The UI could be improved to be a bit more modern or trendy because it looks old-fashioned compared to other systems."
"I think there is a need for a deeper level of comprehension."
"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."
"Oracle's technical support is generally satisfactory yet lacks flexibility and rapid response times."
"Once we are done working on a template, we can't change it unless we create a new one."
"The support from Oracle HCM Cloud is great, they are responsive and helpful. However, they still could improve."
"Product integration, particularly with collaboration tools, is lacking in this solution."
"The product is comparably complex to install and deploy properly."
"I would like to see more direct access for both human resources and employees without so many screens to navigate."
"It's not so easy to customize as it's cloud-based."
"There should be more digital assistance included, like chatbots."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our company had a standardized pricing model based on the number of employees."
"The amount we pay is not low, and it is not high. It is average."
"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."
"I cannot comment on the cost, as this is handled by a different team."
"The product could be more affordable."
"The data traffic cost is expensive. The solution can scale up beyond my imagination, but the cost can rise up easily."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The solution is quite expensive for small and medium-sized companies."
"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."
