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."
"I would recommend Oracle HCM Cloud to others."
"Oracle HCM Cloud offers subscription based services to system that includes web based interface, and mobile and ipad application."
"This solution has localized the payroll which is a good thing."
"We have not had any issues with the stability of this solution."
"We have 35,000 employees in our organization, so we consider the solution to be scalable."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a cloud-based tool."
"The core part and the talent management part are most valuable."
 

Cons

"I get very few notifications of Microsoft Viva Insights on my mobile."
"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."
"There needs to be familiarity mixed in with novelty."
"Lacks relevancy for the current generation."
"I would focus on making high volume recruitment more bulky."
"What's not working that well at the moment is the information flow between the different HR modules. This can be improved by Oracle."
"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."
"Product integration, particularly with collaboration tools, is lacking in this solution."
"From the feedback that I get, the functional side of the payroll could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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 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."
"It is definitely super expensive. Oracle is very, very expensive for what they offer."
"There is a license required for the use of this solution and we are on an annual license."
"I haven't personally dealt with the cost details, but based on client feedback, Oracle HCM Cloud is considered expensive due to additional support costs on top of licensing fees."
"The solution is expensive."
"It has a licensing cost. It has a cloud-based subscription, which is quite cheap."
