Find out what your peers are saying about Workday, Oracle, SAP and others in Benefits Administration."It makes financial operations easier to perform."
"I like the automation and integration features of Oracle E-Business Suite."
"This solution offers customization. You'll have the ability to change and add your custom solutions and integrate them with the standard ones."
"What we like about Oracle E-Business Suite is that we didn't find any issues with it. In the Indian market, the subscription solutions aren't that suitable, even in terms of the complexity of the regulations, taxes, etc., so that's why we had to go for an on-premise solution that's hosted on the cloud, and we're happy with Oracle E-Business Suite. We also like that Oracle E-Business Suite is quite flexible, and we've also built some bolt-ons and they're working fine."
"It's highly customizable."
"The customer gets a better cost calculation and an integrated system between departments."
"The most valuable feature is its flexibility."
"The implementation of Oracle E-Business Suite is easy."
"They have some interesting features in the learning space."
"We have managed to consolidate our payroll for all India operations on this platform."
"I like the talent, recruitment, and learning features the most."
"It's very suitable for large, multi-geography companies but also very suitable for medium companies with multi-geography operations."
"The integration between the different models like personnel administration, work management, payroll, and time management are the most valuable and key features."
"The most valuable feature is Organizational Management (OM)."
"The platform is simple to use and has a user-friendly dashboard and integration features."
"It has the best data management features."
"The solution has improved our organization by helping us cut hours and lessen our labor force. It saved us probably over $100,000 in just the last couple of years."
"I like UKG's integration."
"The employee self-service feature is most valuable. This is the restaurant industry, and they have a mobile app that allows employees to go in and manage their data. So, employees can manage direct deposit accounts, emergency contacts, and other things in the app. That's definitely the biggest benefit."
"The most valuable feature is being able to get time management reports which break out reclassified jobs and departments to separate areas of the company. This allows for better tracking of hours spent in certain jobs and where more hours may be needed."
"It enables us to manage the system ourselves. We don't need an additional team to do a lot of maintenance and add the things that we want."
"It is much easier to use and the customer service is better than our previous solution."
"The solution's UI is good. Also, it is very easy to use."
"The fact that I can see the whole HR information in a single point is valuable. There is a unified view of everything, which is good. Previously, we had many different systems for each part of the information. Now, it is all centralized. It is very good."
"Oracle E-Business Suite uses an old technology (Forms), which is Java-based."
"If you get away from the financials core of the product, it is not so good at handling peripherals."
"It would be nice to have more web services."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is a bit outdated because it's been developed more than ten years ago, and this is an area for improvement. My team is still getting used to the solution, so there could still be some features that have not been enabled or features my team isn't aware of yet. There have been issues with the Treasury module of Oracle E-Business Suite, so this is another area for improvement. My company hasn't decided yet on whether to implement the Treasury module or just go with another solution. Another room for improvement in Oracle E-Business Suite is the design, as it needs to be optimized based on usage patterns. What I'd like added in the next release of Oracle E-Business Suite is the time attribute. The solution still has dashboards being rolled out, so the time attribute could already be there or is still in the process of implementation. I also didn't find much use for the Projects module based on my company's requirements. The integration of Oracle E-Business Suite with the rest of the Oracle tools isn't very tight as well, but it could be because of customizations here in India, where the integrations work seamlessly everywhere, except in India. You'll find gaps because of customizations in India which are very, very irritating. For example, if a procurement is moving in the system then all the data has to move from one module to the other, but in the Oracle E-Business Suite Procurement module, you'll notice breaks or gaps that require you to manually transfer that data, so I'd like this improved in the next release of the solution."
"One issue with the product is because it build on a lot of older technologies, there is a substantial technical debt in the system."
"There are some cycles in HR that are not straightforward."
"E-Business Suite's user experience and interface could be improved."
"Improvements could be made in mobility for mobile applications or tablets."
"We find some challenges in the integration between SAP HCM and SAP SuccessFactors."
"The talent modules are lacking in HCM, so I would recommend switching to SuccessFactors for talent management, but HCM excels at time management and payroll."
"The organizational structure visualization could be improved in future releases. The solution has a very poor interface."
"SAP HCM has many different channels for communication with the consultants which makes it complex. There are delays when there is a problem."
"SAP is not ready to sell the license on time and delays the progress of projects. It's better to work with a competitor like Oracle. Those that are selling the product just go through powerpoints and don't have the knowledge necessary to sell. They can't answer any questions."
"It needs a lot of end user training as it is not intuitive at all."
"It is a bit tedious and manual to work with."
"The product's license is very expensive."
"The solution could use better reporting with standard reports. We use the Cognos platform in BI for a lot of our reporting. However, they need to have more robust standard reporting available to their user base."
"I would like to see more functionality in the next release to be able to get hours and dollars per calendar month rather than just by payroll in the Business Intelligence reports."
"The solution could improve by simplifying it even more core reports, such as more sample reports, more generic reports that you can edit and improve on yourself."
"Certainly, the time and attendance and the payroll integration need a lot of work. They are disjointed pieces, and they don't work smoothly together. That's the main drawback."
"UKG could be a little more flexible in some areas."
"I would like the capability to use UKG as a single platform without the need to alternate between systems."
"The navigation on the screen could be better. Sometimes, I have to dig a little bit deep to find what I need. Everything is there. It just needs to be a little bit smoother."
"One area where UKG could improve is in its ability to understand its own competency and then work hard to improve it."
