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

"Microsoft Viva Insights is integrated with Outlook and SharePoint. It helps me to reply and attend all scheduled meetings."
"It has good navigation, and it is user friendly and secure. Every three months, there is an upgrade, and it has new features."
"The ability to update your information online from any device is invaluable Performing performance reviews online Removing the need to use paper Giving the data to produce the analytics These weren't possible before we had this system."
"Oracle HCM Cloud is highly scalable."
"We have not had any issues with the stability of this solution."
"It is very user-friendly, and most of the UI is very intuitive so you don't need to follow a course to use it, with one single UI regardless of your roles so you don't have to log into separate applications depending on whether you're HR or just a normal employee."
"I work in Saudi Arabia, the localization is most valuable as this solution has localized the payroll and they are providing the same service to HR with the core HRMS system without budgets procuring separately."
"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."
"I find Oracle HCM Cloud very useful for gathering data or information, with its best benefit being data integration."
 

Cons

"I get very few notifications of Microsoft Viva Insights on my mobile."
"The features available in EBS should be available on the cloud as well. When these features are not available on the cloud, it's hard to convince customers to migrate."
"The solution's approvals hierarchy or employee hierarchy needs some improvement and more flexibility."
"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."
"What's not working that well at the moment is the information flow between the different HR modules. This can be improved by Oracle."
"It's not so easy to customize as it's cloud-based."
"I think it could use more features, perhaps artificial intelligence, since that's becoming more prominent in the world, and it's not yet implemented in HCM."
"The interfaces could be improved because when you're going into the landing page, the interfaces look a bit blunt when they could be more user-friendly."
"The product is comparably complex to install and deploy properly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"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."
"On average, it's not a cheap solution."
"The price of Oracle HCM Cloud could improve. However, everyone would like the price of a solution they are using to be less expensive."
"The cost of Oracle HCM Cloud is high, it could be reduced. There is an annual subscription and it is user-based."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
