Provides unified access to multiple HR functions and reduces navigation effort
I am generally satisfied with the talent management capabilities in Oracle HCM Cloud, but as I mentioned, there are certain pages that really lag sometimes and there are a lot of bugs in talent management. Before, when it had a responsive UI, it was fine, but after it switched to Redwood, I feel there are bugs, and the functionality stated in the documents is not accurate. It takes some time to get that feature, and we need to raise product SR or ask in the community how it works. It's not easily understandable, especially in the talent management area. One potential area of improvement for Oracle HCM Cloud is that it lags. It takes time to reflect the pages, and the loading time now requires us to wait for the page to load. Earlier, we used to click and see the page immediately. However, now we need to wait for it to get loaded, which can be frustrating when working in a fast mode.

The self-service helps increase employee loyalty
The reporting could use some improvement. It doesn't shorten the data that it displays to the employee. At the moment you have to scroll through all of the results in order to find what you are looking for. Another improvement that should be implemented in the next release is the appraisal. For the appraisal model, we have to go to another solution because the one included is not supporting us in our needs.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"This solution is user friendly and can be used on a mobile phone without a computer."
"I rate Oracle HCM Cloud nine out of ten."
"It is very user-friendly, and most of the UI is very intuitive so you don't need to follow a course to use it, with one single UI regardless of your roles so you don't have to log into separate applications depending on whether you're HR or just a normal employee."

"The technical support is very good."
"Our overall evaluation of Oracle HCM Cloud as a general ledger tool is mixed. It is a comprehensive and versatile piece of software."
"All the features are good."

Cons

"Learning Management on cloud is relatively new and has scope for improvement."
"There needs to be familiarity mixed in with novelty."
"As the product is cloud based, it is a heavily standardized system. There is little or no option to customize business processes, features, or integrate the few exceptional business processes to work with the existing product."
"We have received some unfavorable feedback regarding Oracle HCM Cloud's performance. This has led us to investigate alternative solutions. In my own experience, I have struggled with the slowness of the cloud assessment and the overwhelming complexity of the software's robust architecture. I have reservations about sharing any positive experiences I may have had with the solution."
"The solution has much room for improvement in all the modules."
"Product integration, particularly with collaboration tools, is lacking in this solution."
"I think it could use more features, perhaps artificial intelligence, since that's becoming more prominent in the world, and it's not yet implemented in HCM."
"Once we are done working on a template, we can't change it unless we create a new one."
"The reporting could use some improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't know how much it costs, but I know that everything is included. We don't pay anything extra apart from the licensing fee."
"The price for Oracle HCM Cloud is expensive in Iran, but in other countries, such as Turkey, it can be reasonably priced."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The is a license needed to use the solution. The license can be paid in different increments, such as quarterly."
"The solution is expensive."
"I cannot comment on the cost, as this is handled by a different team."
"Oracle HCM offers many features at a low price."
"The contract for one of them will be extended for three years and for another one for two years. One of them is paying monthly, and another one is paying per quarter. I don't know about the third one. So, it differs."
