Featured Reviews

James Balbach - PeerSpot reviewer
Centralizes our enterprise-wide functions but could benefit from cloud migration
We have dealt with customer service, and it was awful. For a system this size, it felt like we were merely buying software from them. They weren't really partnered with us on it. Reporting bugs and getting feedback, as well as having engineers work on issues, was very transactional. There was no real ownership on Oracle's part. During several support cases, it became difficult to determine ownership at Oracle and get status updates. The on-premises Oracle support is not great in my experience, and I think this is true in the industry. We've read about their software as a solution, and theoretically, their SaaS portal support is a lot better.
Prasan Edirisinghe - PeerSpot reviewer
Industry-standard stack enables better load handling for large-scale companies
With Taleo, I experience two limitations. First, it only supports soft calls with a daily limit, which is a concern. The other limitation is that it feels outdated, and I cannot compare certain things or implement some automations that require a lot of manual intervention when initiating, generating, and calculating offers.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Valuable features include expense management and the accounting suite of products."
"The solution is good for small businesses."
"On-Time Payroll and its features are user-friendly."
"When correctly configured, this is a very stable solution. We have customers running their process automation manufacturing based off of this solution."
"The system is very stable."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is a very integrated application. My overall rating is nine out of ten."
"Really scalable business application suite with good technical support and straightforward patching."
"You can group them into the BIs, which is business intelligence. You get your own key performance indicators and build your own reports or you could have your own screens, and it changes in real time."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"The solution offers good benefits for administrators."
"Good integration capabilities and extensibility."
"It is easy to use. Requisition management and pre-screening are the two most valuable features."
"The product's stability is good."
"Performance and goal management are good to have, based on certain client requirements where the user base isn't too large, but the most workable domain of Taleo is the recruiting module."
"The solution's most valuable features are the OCR, single source of truth, and simplicity of the workflows."
"Oracle Taleo's integration capabilities are good."
 

Cons

"They should have a nicer way to handle very high volumes of data because we deal with really high volumes, and sometimes, we end up with performance issues."
"The system has bugs, is not user friendly, and requires too much customization."
"The user interface can be improved."
"Movement of CIP Inventory cannot be monitored in Inventory module when we are using the CIP Account or movement of CIP Inventory in Asset module, which is not flexible like Inventory module."
"Pricing is the biggest disadvantage of Oracle."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The initial setup was a little complex."
"E-Business Suite's user experience and interface could be improved."
"It only supports soft calls with a daily limit, which is a concern."
"There are always going to be little caveats here and there that you might not have known about as far as changes are concerned, however, it's not business-oriented to the point where the business shuts down."
"With Taleo, I experience two limitations. First, it only supports soft calls with a daily limit, which is a concern. The other limitation is that it feels outdated, and I cannot compare certain things or implement some automations that require a lot of manual intervention when initiating, generating, and calculating offers."
"Oracle Taleo felt a bit outdated, and we didn't use it for every step of the candidate process. We mainly used it to track job IDs, create job requisitions, and add candidates when making an offer. It wasn't very user-friendly for moving candidates through different stages of the recruitment lifecycle."
"The bulk recruitment feature does not work well."
"Lacks some systems that we need."
"It would be ideal if we could integrate the solution with Olympia. It would be helpful if we could add another support desk for an IT person. It would be great if the product was more interdisciplinary and could include IT."
"In terms of Oracle Taleo as a product, there are a lot of things which can be developed; most feedback which I have heard from customers is about the dashboard and the home page, both of which are quite basic."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle's pricing is on the higher end."
"In my opinion, the prices for Oracle ERP are reasonable, especially considering the various discounts that are often available."
"The licensing cost of Oracle E-Business Suite is quite competitive. It's quite flexible, so it can be adapted to the requirements of my company. For confidentiality purposes, I'm unable to disclose how much Oracle E-Business Suite costs, but I'm rating its cost as eight out of ten."
"I would rate the pricing a nine out of ten, with ten being very expensive."
"Pricing for Oracle E-Business Suite is seven out of ten. You must pay extra for maintenance and technical support, apart from standard license fees."
"Oracle prices are better in Vietnam and more flexible. If we need to customize something in Oracle, it's very flexible and easy to customize."
"Oracle's licenses are not straightforward."
"The price would be better if it were lower."
"Oracle Taleo is an expensive solution."
"Whether you pay annually or on some other payment schedule depends on the license model you choose. Typically, clients pay a yearly subscription."
