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 The other limitation is that it feels outdated, and I cannot compare certain things or implement some automations that require a lot of manual intervention when initiating, generating, and calculating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

"Oracle is a decent, robust solution that has been tested and used for many years. It can do everything."
"Order to cash and procure to pay process: They are valuable features because of their integration and flexibility."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is a very integrated application. My overall rating is nine out of ten."
"Oracle's technical support is better than others."
"The technical ability to run runtime APIs is great."
"Regarding the valuable features, the automation is inherent in all systems, including Oracle E-Business Suite. It helps in various business processes, depending on the company's behavior and requests."
"Oracle EBS adapts to our business rules, so we don't have to change them, whereas SAP is rigid. We need to change our business rules to implement SAP. Oracle's reporting is also excellent and it's easier for our technical team to customize the solution compared to SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, and other products."
"The on-premise is very similar to the cloud version."
"The Talent Acquisition and Headhunting features are good."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"It is easy to use. Requisition management and pre-screening are the two most valuable features."
"ATS is used to track candidates. We've used it for job requisitions, getting candidates for those requisitions, moving them through different interview stages, and then handling their onboarding process."
"The advantage I see is the presence of the industrial Taleo stack, which is beneficial for large-scale companies handling a higher load."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Good integration capabilities and extensibility."
"The product remains stable, and Oracle is investing further to improve and enhance it."
 

Cons

"The implementation can take quite a bit of time."
"It's difficult for some customers to understand in the beginning. A user really has to understand the processes."
"Oracle E-Business Suite should be more detailed and user-friendly."
"The initial setup was a little complex."
"More flexibility in configuration related to the Payroll module, in order to easily implement the local legislation."
"They started on the mobile app and tablets, but still I see there are no short-forms used in EBS."
"In Oracle E-Business Suite, there should be a proper document flow for each transaction."
"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."
"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."
"Lacks some systems that we need."
"It would be beneficial if Oracle Taleo included AI-based CV screening, rather than just keyword matches."
"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 pricing could be improved."
"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."
"I don't see very valuable features in this product because it has an old way of interpreting ATS. It should be more flexible in managing datasets and data searches. The screening data is a long process in Taleo."
"The product was not very sophisticated in terms of what it could do."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay about $300 a year in order to license the solution."
"This product is more expensive if you compare it to SAP."
"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."
"The license is very expensive and I think that it needs to be cheaper to get a wider range of users or customers."
"At our various customers, the software tends to pay for itself in less than two years."
"Fees for support and licensing should be reduced."
"Oracle scales the pricing, but E-Business Suite is still very expensive for small to mid-sized businesses."
"Compared to other vendors like SAP or Microsoft, the prices for Oracle are reasonable, but they could always be lower."
"Whether you pay annually or on some other payment schedule depends on the license model you choose. Typically, clients pay a yearly subscription."
"Oracle Taleo is an expensive solution."
