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 The other limitation is that it feels outdated, and I cannot compare certain things or implement some automations that require a lot of manual intervention when initiating, generating, and calculating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

"As we have been using this for the past nine years we have had the opportunity to explore the product. Really everything has worked well and all the modules are very good."
"The system is reliable and the backbone of financial and other core systems in many organizations worldwide."
"Really scalable business application suite with good technical support and straightforward patching."
"Great finance modules and customization."
"This solution offers customization. You'll have the ability to change and add your custom solutions and integrate them with the standard ones."
"Very flexible in terms of configurations and it's capable of integrations."
"There is essentially one solution for every industry within Oracle — you won't require a third-party solution."
"Financial and asset management features are valuable."
"Good integration capabilities and extensibility."
"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."
"The product's stability is good."
"It is easy to use. Requisition management and pre-screening are the two most valuable features."
"The Talent Acquisition and Headhunting features are good."
"The solution offers good benefits for administrators."
"The product remains stable, and Oracle is investing further to improve and enhance it."
 

Cons

"On-site cloud support is slow and unresponsive."
"A lot more automation can be brought into E-Business Suite."
"I would like an end-to-end in terms of processes. There are different modules, however, there's not that end-to-end that we are looking for in terms of process automation."
"We don't like Oracle EBS because it is very old. Nowadays, all the systems are on the cloud and web-based. With Oracle EBS, you need a huge setup before installing it. You need a lot of servers. There are a lot of problems and bugs in the system. We have to move from Oracle EBS to another system. In terms of improvements, it can have better training for end users and better support."
"The simplicity of the user experience needs to be improved tremendously."
"The issue of frequently applying patches and updates to fix bugs. Oracle should improve upon this issue, especially since it happens too frequently."
"The EBS Design to some extent is still monolithic."
"We would like to see some automation in this solution."
"The pricing could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"For larger enterprises, Oracle Taleo may not stand out due to other available tools in the market that offer more features and scalability."
"The bulk recruitment feature does not work well."
"Lacks some systems that we need."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Whatever the products you use, you'll be paying a yearly maintenance price or a support price."
"Considering the market at the moment, Oracle needs to adjust the pricing of this solution."
"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."
"This product is more expensive if you compare it to SAP."
"In order to minimize the implementation and consultancy costs, business lines should have proper definitions. They need to have a proper way of retrieving their data, which should be structured well."
"At the time of purchasing the license the price was reasonable."
"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 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."
