An easy-to- access cloud platform essential for payroll and security needs
I think Oracle HCM Cloud has provided a friendly solution that improved several processes. They moved to a paperless system, eliminating the need for signing numerous documents. Now, all their information is updated and secure in the system, accessible only to those who need it, whether for a…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In terms of ERP, it's a good product. It's convenient."
"The valuable features of Oracle HCM Cloud are the frequent updates, if there are any discrepancies, we consult with our record directly and they come up with the solution for the betterment of the cloud."
"Its drag-and-drop reporting is great."
"The solution is very good at building out a roadmap based on client needs and feedback."
"All the features are good."
"HCM solution that's easy to set up and scale, with good data integration and technical support."
"I like the interfaces, and they are fine. I would like to see more interfaces."
"The core part and the talent management part are most valuable."
"It's great for helping users deal with their supply chain."
"The most valuable feature is ERP application information."
"It's a mature product."
"I'd like PeopleSoft to be like on the cloud and more mobile-friendly. If I try to access it from a cell phone, it's a bit difficult, so it would be great if PeopleSoft could improve these features."
"It is a very stable ERP solution. It is also supported on Oracle Cloud and provides extensive features."
"PeopleSoft is scalable."
"This solution integrates very well with other products which is helpful."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"From the feedback that I get, the functional side of the payroll could be improved."
"Occasionally there are problems with stability."
"Lacks relevancy for the current generation."
"In some cases, the price may be lower depending on what is negotiated."
"The solution has much room for improvement in all the modules."
"The initial setup is straightforward. However, it is more complex than Oracle Taleo because it has a lot more features have complexity."
"The solution could improve by having better integration between on-premise and the cloud. It can be difficult and time-consuming to migrate our applications and interfaces."
"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."
"Often support just asks people to install a lot of upgrades. Sometimes they don't really give you clear details as to why you need to upgrade. They just say, "You need to upgrade this because there's a newer image, etc". They never really give you the reason underlying why you are having errors."
"I think the inventory part it should be simplified. There is the GR, or good receipt note, which is the time that the materials comes in, and the work days, etc. There is a lot of shuffling through pages, which creates a lot of problems for our users. They don't know which page to go to, where to create a GR, or where to create a stock entry. In other words, all the information is very daunting. It's very easy for people to understand and get a better clarity over it."
"PeopleSoft lacks integration capabilities."
"PeopleSoft can improve by having proper connectors. It's very difficult to change some interfaces with the other systems."
"The UI and user experience are not great, and it's not as feature-rich as today's systems. Furthermore, our implementation does not include all the components we need, like payroll or some other functions."
"It would be nice if it became even more declarative in its development."
"I would like to see better support, bug fixing, and documentation."
"The implementation of PeopleSoft is quite complex and is not as easy as other cloud products such as SuccessFactor or Workday."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"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."

"Pricing is largely determined by what is agreed upon."
"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."
"I cannot comment on the cost, as this is handled by a different team."

"This solution offers annual licensing. We pay per user."
"I don't know if they are still providing licenses or if they have suspending licenses."
"There are no additional costs for licensing."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"Mostly yearly payments are to be made toward licensing costs. It is not much of an expensive solution."
"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
"The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive."
