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 The other limitation is that it feels outdated, and I cannot compare certain things or implement some automations that require a lot of manual intervention when initiating, generating, and calculating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

"The GL and FAH modules have become real-deal players for an organization with many legacy systems that handle transactions and where there is a need to create accounting from these transactions."
"It is a very stable solution."
"On-Time Payroll and its features are user-friendly."
"It can be an essential solution for those who can not just push to the cloud because they have critical data restrictions."
"It makes financial operations easier to perform."
"This is a world-class application that includes a lot of business processes from other ERPs that Oracle has acquired."
"Its drag-and-drop features make data distribution a breeze."
"It is quite stable."
"The advantage I see is the presence of the industrial Taleo stack, which is beneficial for large-scale companies handling a higher load."
"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."
"It is easy to use. Requisition management and pre-screening are the two most valuable features."
"The product's stability is good."
"Oracle Taleo's integration capabilities are good."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"Oracle Taleo's integration capabilities are good."
 

Cons

"The implementation can take quite a bit of time."
"It should be made a little bit more user friendly. When I complete my implementation and hand it over to the clients or the person who will operate it on a day-to-day basis, they find it a little bit difficult because they are not from a highly qualified IT background. I want Oracle to make it a little bit more user friendly."
"From the business processes, there are areas where you could streamline new processes."
"The user interface can be improved."
"We expect Oracle to go into continuous innovation mode and provide simplified integration solutions."
"We are moving to the cloud and are looking at the cloud version of it for the cost of ownership and a more modernized integrated platform."
"Earlier when our organization was small they chose Oracle because in the telecommunication industry everybody was using Oracle. Our company has grown to a size where our particularly billing phase has created some challenges and now we are looking at alternate solutions. There is not a billing engine or module that you can buy from Oracle that can be added to this EBS solution to fix our problem. They should add a billing module or engine to the solution."
"We need more user-friendly fast formulas for all HRMS modules."
"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."
"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."
"The product was not very sophisticated in terms of what it could do."
"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."
"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."
"For larger enterprises, Oracle Taleo may not stand out due to other available tools in the market that offer more features and scalability."
"It would be beneficial if Oracle Taleo included AI-based CV screening, rather than just keyword matches."
"The solution should be more intuitive and user-friendly when navigating the different pages within Oracle."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is high."
"This is a highly-priced application and would not be affordable for small or medium business domains."
"We have an annual license to use the Oracle E-Business Suite and we have an enterprise license."
"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."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is cheaper than SAP. It is expensive."
"It's quite expensive, even though they gave us a discount."
"At our various customers, the software tends to pay for itself in less than two years."
"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."
