A reasonably stable and scalable tool to manage human resources, payroll, and expenses of a business
There are multiple options in the product that are improving quarterly by considering the user feedback Oracle receives from its multiple clients. I am not exactly sure about the improvements made in the product since I have not been working with the solution for the past four to six months. The area where employees' personal and contact information is called the person management section in the HR module of Oracle Fusion Service, has shortcomings where improvements are required. Sometimes, there are some issues with the areas around national identifiers in the product, so our company has to add multiple national identifiers. Though a person from the USA works in some other country, and that person has every valid document of the residing country, the product sometimes gives some trouble to access the information. The product's option to upload payroll data doesn't work seamlessly. It would be great if there was an option to do internal calculations in the product since sometimes, in our company, we have to calculate all the fields manually in Excel and then upload them in the application.

Great flexibility with useful locking mechanism for multiple users to work on a case concurrently
Although I see increased efforts recently, the big issue I have is with the UI, which lags in comparison to its competitors. Pega's competitors have a lot of packages that Pega doesn't have. I'd also like to see direct PDC integration. The way we do it now is almost external but if Pega could add that as a link so you can directly open the PDC, that would be helpful. They also have room to improve when it comes to where you send notifications, email templates or email notifications. Pega needs to provide a lot more libraries that users or developers can add on the fly. Most of the current applications I work on use Pega as a business rules engine. 90% of what we do is integration where we create some REST and SOAP services. When we set up, Pega supplied the URLs and set up the rules. It would be great if they could make available any URL for PDC to help developers so anyone can see who has access to that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Oracle Fusion Service offers good efficiency."
"Everything is managed by Oracle, so they have security in place."
"Oracle Service Cloud could improve the integration for older platforms."
"Previously, my clients used a smaller ERP system, not a major one. However, they have now transitioned to Oracle, which provides them with a more extensive range of options. Unlike before, it's now an integrated system that covers various aspects, including finance, supply chain management, and other functionalities."
"Oracle offers a wide range of applications, each capable of delivering significant value to our business."
"It offers a seamless experience with quick deployment—eliminating prolonged implementation and installation processes."
"It has provided a faster turnaround time. We were able to automate a number of transactional tasks and return that extra time to taking care of customers."
"Stable and scalable with good technical support."
"The case management feature is really valuable."
"Great flexibility and its locking mechanism enable multiple users to work on the same case seamlessly."
"Pega offers a clear parent-child case relationship that's easily created and maintained. Dependencies can be configured, where reaching a specific stage in a parent case automatically triggers a child task in a child case, while the parent case remains on hold until a certain condition is met before moving forward. This configuration allows multiple users to work on cases in parallel. Many of these settings are readily available within Pega case settings. Overall, Pega's case management is unparalleled compared to other options."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"One of the most valuable features of Pega CRM for our team's productivity is its ease of setup, thanks to its configuration-driven approach."
"The product's deployment phase was easy."
"It also reduces the duration per call, and it ensures a first time resolution of the issue."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to pull information about the customer on-the-fly so they feel the interaction is more personal."
 

Cons

"The product must provide modules for operations management."
"Oracle counts users for licensing purposes, regardless of their roles or usage patterns. This process could be better."
"Lacks the ability to deploy custom code for customization."
"The solution’s reporting could be improved."
"Oracle Fusion Service needs to improve its documentation part because we do not have proper documentation."
"Oracle Service Cloud could improve the integration for older platforms."
"The UI experience needs refinement to enhance user-friendliness."
"The vendor must provide a user-friendly mobile application."
"The UI is lagging and needs to be improved."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the pricing and support implementation options as they are currently quite expensive."
"There has been a common acknowledgment among customers that this solution is an expensive tool and they often opt for cheaper tools like Comodo"
"They should enable the data-driven streaming feature inside it."
"Price is always a concern for many organizations. They often think Pega is expensive, and sometimes they don't fully understand the pricing model."
"The solution has room for improvement around decisional and real-time data analysis."
"The disadvantage of the tool stems from the fact that it does not allow users to make database-level modifications."
"For many of the clients, they have a separate system or separate layer of UI and a separate layer of the business rules engine, which Pega has taken care of in the recent releases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is reasonably priced."
"The product has average pricing."
"Oracle Fusion Service is more expensive than Workday."
"There are no extra licenses, everything is included in the subscription, and the price is fixed."
"This is definitely an expensive product compared to others on the market."
"Oracle's pricing is quite high, and this cost can be a significant barrier, especially for smaller companies."
"Licensing fees are on the higher end and I rate them an eight out of ten."
"Oracle Fusion Service is a cheap and flexible solution."
"We have numerous uses of the solution in our organisation. Almost 72 applications are integrated with Pega CRM, and some of them are shutting down for various reasons including the high licensing costs. There is a strong focus in the market and offices on cost reduction."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"It is expensive."
