Human Resources Intern at a government with 10,001+ employees

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.

Learning Solution Architect at a recruiting/HR firm with self employed

A flexible solution with superb automation capabilities

The technical support is high-end. They're knowledgeable people, both in the US and in the Philippines. One point of improvement — they should talk more to each other. They're quite responsive, but it depends on the scope of the ticket. If it's just solving an issue from one product, you can have either a consultant from the US or from the Philippines. It gets difficult when a solution is about integration. For instance, authentication mechanisms. Authentication mechanisms come from the US and they have to be incorporated in the Asia version. Then it's difficult because support has to talk to each other.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup or implementation process of the solution is fine. The deployment process took place in two days. So, once one has the runbook and everything in place, it is not that difficult."

"The solution has new features like AI-embedded solutions that are very useful for helping customers gain a lot of new insights."

"Absence management, self-release, self-service, and raising help desk issues are particularly valuable."

"HCM solution that's easy to set up and scale, with good data integration and technical support."

"Offers a good balanced scorecard capability."

"It is a configurable, scalable solution."

"The integration capabilities of Oracle HCM Cloud are valuable, particularly its support for managing global HR operations, including absence management, talent management, employee recruitment, and performance evaluations."

"The tool's implementation has resulted in significant time savings, ranging from 30 to 50 percent across various processes. Oracle HCM, particularly its payroll functionality, has proven to be highly valuable for our organization. Additionally, the ability to implement various customizations has proven valuable. The robust nature of Oracle HCM Cloud ensures high accuracy."

More Oracle HCM Cloud pros

"This solution is extremely flexible and the automation capabilities are great."

Cons

"In some cases, the price may be lower depending on what is negotiated."

"I would like to see more direct access for both human resources and employees without so many screens to navigate."

"Product integration, particularly with collaboration tools, is lacking in this solution."

"Oracle HCM Cloud could improve in its integration with access control devices."

"The initial setup is straightforward. However, it is more complex than Oracle Taleo because it has a lot more features have complexity."

"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."

"Although the performance management is good, it could be improved as its functionality is quite basic."

"The features available in EBS should be available on the cloud as well. When these features are not available on the cloud, it's hard to convince customers to migrate."

More Oracle HCM Cloud cons

"The integration capabilities could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is definitely super expensive. Oracle is very, very expensive for what they offer."

"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."

"Oracle HCM offers many features at a low price."

"On average, it's not a cheap solution."

"Though I cannot comment on the solution's cost, a fixed cost is involved based on my understanding. The cost multiplies based on the number of users."

"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."

"There is a subscription to use this solution, and there can be additional fees."

"I am not normally involved in the product's pricing since it normally involves the packages that a user chooses. Pricing differs based on a case-to-case scenario and client-to-client basis."

More Oracle HCM Cloud pricing and cost advice

"It's not too expensive, but not too cheap either."
