Has a simple interface, is easy to use, and has good stability

It's really easy to use and has a simple interface. The networking could use improvement. One to three years. Stability is good. Scalability is just fine. We have fifty users, most of them are admin roles. Their technical support is very good. They are very helpful. The initial setup was…

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 flexibility in configuration is this product’s most valuable feature."

"It's really easy to use and has a simple interface."

"The advanced scheduler helps to ensure proper staffing."

"Poor user experience."

"Do it."

"Technical side: The level of detail (building blocks) in configuration (setup) makes it scalable and secure on a functional level, as well as on a data level."

"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."

"This solution is valuable because it's robust and very dependable."

"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 has good navigation, and it is user friendly and secure. Every three months, there is an upgrade, and it has new features."

"I like that it is mobile responsive and you can work directly with the vendor on specific requirements that you might have."

"Compared to earlier, older versions, HCM Cloud has built-in business intelligence and reporting capabilities, and not just transactional, providing actual analytic capabilities that are pretty good, and on the accounts tables side it has built-in document image capturing tools so there is no need to rely on third-party products anymore."

"This is a perfect product that I recommend to any company that is trying to implement a solution for better management of HR and human capital management."

Cons

"The networking could use improvement."

"Customer Service: 3/10 Technical Support: I would give technical support a rating of 3/10. A lot of the time, their technical support person did not understand the issue."

"Licenses are expensive."

"Poor user experience. Web based, but requires old version of Java on the desktop which is a security nightmare."

"The setup was complex."

"The native mobile application TAP is in great need of improvement."

"Oracle's technical support is generally satisfactory yet lacks flexibility and rapid response times."

"Sometimes implementation documentation is a bit behind."

"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."

"I rate the technical support of Oracle HCM Cloud an eight out of ten. There is some room for improvement."

"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."

"The interface could be more user friendly."

"The data uploading part and backup could be better. They are a bit complex. Oracle is continuously changing it from one functionality to another. It's a bit unstable right now, and it's basically on the backend data upload part. If I have to upload, for example, data for 100 employees, it's a bit of a challenge for an end-user. It can be difficult if you're not a technical person and an end-user like me. I administer the platform, and if I get a request to upload and I'm not a technical person, then I'm just lost. I have to do some research and then complete the task. But it's evolving, and I hope it's more user-friendly in the future. In the next release, I would like a more stable mobile application. The current version isn't very stable. It takes time to open, and although they have come up with new UI pages, a few open areas need to be addressed. I would also like to see more robust and user-friendly data uploading techniques that would be helpful for end users like us. We don't have a technical background, and we just want to upload the data for our day-to-day operations."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is 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 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 cost of Oracle HCM Cloud is high, it could be reduced. There is an annual subscription and it is user-based."

"There is a subscription to use this solution, and there can be additional fees."

"The solution’s pricing is high."

"The price of Oracle HCM Cloud could improve. However, everyone would like the price of a solution they are using to be less expensive."

"It has a licensing cost. It has a cloud-based subscription, which is quite cheap."

"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."
