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.

Simple, easy to access and interface is quite user-friendly.

PeopleStrong is good. The only thing is that they have complete SaaS-based solutions. But sometimes, we feel that we should have an API-based integration aspect. This does not exist right now because we have a separate portal for PeopleStrong. They have been logged in via SSO. But if we want to integrate it via API in the current people system, that feature is not available right now.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of the solution are the core HR, absence, payroll, and recruitment modules."

"Oracle HCM has a great reporting platform, OTPI, with drag-and-drop functionality. I can design my own reports without relying on the technical team. This empowers HR users to create reports based on their needs, which is a huge advantage."

"The most valuable features of Oracle HCM Cloud are the easy ability to customize the solution and applications. Additionally, the solution updates the solution"

"I think that it's stable. I don't believe that there are any issues."

"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."

"Oracle HCM Cloud's most valuable feature is that it is user-friendly."

"In terms of ERP, it's a good product. It's convenient."

"I like the interfaces, and they are fine. I would like to see more interfaces."

More Oracle HCM Cloud pros

"The mobile responsiveness is strong."

"The hiring process is good. It will create a process-oriented procedure in terms of hiring, promotion, the movement of people, and other related HR tasks."

"It is priced low."

"It has the capability of reporting. We, as a business team, found it good. In fact, we migrated to PeopleStrong essentially because of its reporting feature."

"PeopleStrong Alt is flexible because it allows customization and the user's experience is very good."

"The UI and UX are fantastic."

"Some of the most valuable features are the onboarding experience of new employees, the employee service portal, and the entire performance management system."

"The product has valuable flexibility for customization, user interface, and search capabilities."

Cons

"It is a cloud solution, so we cannot do much customization. However, if you have a past license, you can do the customization, but unfortunately, we don't have a past license. If we had that, we would have been 100% happy."

"The tool should allow more customization for specific requirements. Some processes could be streamlined, and certain features in specific modules must be added."

"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."

"The solution has much room for improvement in all the modules."

"Oracle needs to make some sort of support repository that is up to date."

"The recruitment aspect is good, but it's new and it still needs some enhancements. In the future, we hope it will be similar to Taleo."

"The customization of the solution presents many challenges."

"The performance and reaction time can be improved."

More Oracle HCM Cloud cons

"They could include a sort of collaborative platform where employees are able to work together with a chat mechanism like WhatsApp and video chat."

"It would be helpful if you could work offline because sometimes, we have problems with internet connectivity."

"PeopleStrong could make it AI-friendly."

"The solution's workflow can improve by adding more customization at the organizational level."

"They could improve talent management capabilities."

"The global scalability and support could improve."

"They had challenges getting the performance management system up and integrated with our systems."

"Sometimes, we feel that we should have an API-based integration aspect."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Oracle HCM Cloud is pricey, but price-wise, it's now more competitive than in the past year. Here in Central Europe, people also look at the pricing, but Central Europe falls under the UAE and Abu Dhabi in terms of headquarters, management, and strategy, but those states don't care too much about the pricing. Pricing is a significant factor in choosing a solution. In the past, Oracle HCM Cloud was compared to the SAP solution, the largest competitor and up to thirty percent higher in price. Now, Oracle HCM Cloud has a price increase of five to ten percent, which could be pricier than SAP now, but it's a more competitive product nowadays and comparable to SAP."

"According to the Turkish market, the pricing is a little bit expensive."

"There is a license required for the use of this solution and we are on an annual license."

"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."

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

"The data traffic cost is expensive. The solution can scale up beyond my imagination, but the cost can rise up easily."

"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."

More Oracle HCM Cloud pricing and cost advice

"The product has reasonable pricing."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"It's very reasonably priced. It is paid per employee."
