Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"IBM Kenexa is fairly stable. We don't have any downtime.""It is extremely user friendly. It is very flexible in managing recruitment, especially when you have thousands of applicants as we did. We easily had over 20,000 applicants within a year for some of our positions, so it made it very easy to manage a large application pool. It was very easy to customize by recruiter preference. When you open up someone's profile to see their experience, education, or other things, you can customize that for yourself. It was flexible in that, and each recruiter could set up their preferences. It didn't have to be set up so that everyone had to have the same landing platform, which was very helpful. As someone who trained other HR people on how to use the system, it was very easy to pick up and learn.""The ease of scaling is one of BrassRing's biggest strengths, making it a trusted choice for large companies.""The most valuable features are that we can upload documents and download them on demand."

"Offers a good balanced scorecard capability.""In terms of ERP, it's a good product. It's convenient.""Its drag-and-drop reporting is great.""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.""The most valuable feature is the support for mobile devices.""HCM solution that's easy to set up and scale, with good data integration and technical support.""The most valuable feature of Oracle HCM Cloud is the dashboards, customization, and configuration.""I think that it's stable. I don't believe that there are any issues."

Cons
"It needs to update its reporting and analytics tools.""I would not recommend IBM Kenexa to others.""The reporting tool is helpful, but it is not the easiest to train on or is not as understandable for other HR pros. Their Workbench site, which is the administrator site that you use to update your website, is not user-friendly. When updates are required, it is not that easy to manage because Workbench is not user friendly. It required more work from the admins. They have Workbench training, which actually was very unhelpful. It took eight hours to complete, and it was not very helpful. Their customer service when it comes specifically to their Workbench site is not helpful.""I would like to have a better and more user-friendly interface."

"In some cases, the price may be lower depending on what is negotiated.""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.""Visually, Oracle HCM Cloud needs improvement. For example, the employee portal looks rather old, so it would be awesome if Oracle refreshed its design or if the portal looked more modern. Oracle HCM Cloud works, but visually, it needs improvement.""The user interface, as well as the interfaces between modules, should definitely be enhanced.""There needs to be familiarity mixed in with novelty.""From the feedback that I get, the functional side of the payroll could be improved.""I believe what could be improved is the EX portion of Oracle HCM Cloud and how it can more easily integrate with other tools.""Oracle needs to make some sort of support repository that is up to date."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Kenexa was fairly priced. However, in 2019, before I left my previous organization, they significantly increased their pricing. It can be affordable, but their pricing is going up. It is not just licensing; it is how many applicants you have in your system on the database side."
  • More IBM Kenexa Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "On an annual basis, we pay about $25,000 for our company. This includes the VAT, support, upgrades and everything else."
  • "Oracle HCM offers many features at a low price."
  • "On average, it's not a cheap solution."
  • "It has a licensing cost. It has a cloud-based subscription, which is quite cheap."
  • "The solution is expensive."
  • "Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
  • "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."
