Capable of consolidating data from all countries and providing access to any employee information across locations but poor user experience

Oracle HCM Cloud definitely has a lot to improve from a user experience perspective. The platform is huge and feature-rich, but is it truly appealing to an end user? Is it a two-click solution? Does it match current market trends in user experience? No, it has a lot of catching up to do. For example, is the screen catchy for an employee to see their details or access essential information? No. The user experience is zero. An employee needs training to apply for leave, something as simple as that. They shouldn't need training materials or user guides to navigate the system. We're moving towards empowering users, especially with end-user-facing systems. People should be self-reliant and not need to rely on manuals. Oracle HCM Cloud is very old-school in this regard. It's still stuck in the "PeopleSoft" mentality instead of focusing on a user-friendly experience for employees and managers. So, the user experience needs a major overhaul. So, to summarize, it needs to be more user-friendly and present key information on the login screen. In future releases, I would like to see employee dashboards. Oracle HCM should come up with ready-made employee dashboards, like very simple ones. Right now, an employee dashboard or a manager dashboard, but these should be readily available. You shouldn't expect a customer to go and design something they need. There are a few basic things any employee or manager in any company would want to see. One of the best things would be a very simple org chart. Now, the org chart is quite poor on Oracle. There are applications that focus only on org charts and look really good, giving a lot of details about a team and its employees. But Oracle's org chart is bad, so to be specific, they should improve it a lot.

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.

Pros

"The solution has good integration with other applications."

"Recruitment, talent management, and payroll are the most important features of talent management, especially in the Middle East, where I work.

It also covers goal cascading, setting objectives, performance evaluations, and midyear reviews for performance improvement."

"The most valuable feature of Oracle HCM Cloud is its integration."

"In general, functionality is fine."

"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."

"Its drag-and-drop reporting is great."

"The core part and the talent management part are most valuable."

More Oracle HCM Cloud pros

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

Cons

"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 customization of the solution presents many challenges."

"There needs to be familiarity mixed in with novelty."

"The GUI interface should be more user-friendly."

"The UI needs improvement."

"From the feedback that I get, the functional side of the payroll could be improved."

"Once we are done working on a template, we can't change it unless we create a new one."

"The interface could be more user friendly."

More Oracle HCM Cloud cons

"The integration capabilities could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."

"The cost of Oracle HCM Cloud is high, it could be reduced. There is an annual subscription and it is user-based."

"I cannot comment on the cost, as this is handled by a different team."

"The solution is quite expensive for small and medium-sized companies."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."

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