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 newer Redwood team is more client-focused and this is very valuable."

"What I like best about Oracle HCM Cloud is that its configuration is okay. I also like it in terms of updates. Product updates that take place from time to time improve Oracle HCM Cloud. What I also found valuable in the product is that since it's on cloud, you can work with it from any place."

"We have 35,000 employees in our organization, so we consider the solution to be scalable."

"Oracle HCM Cloud is easier to use than Oracle ETS. Everything is included on one page, and we no longer need to do workarounds. For example, creating elements, eligibility profiles, and formulas is much easier."

"The most valuable features in Oracle HCM Cloud are the employee and manager self-services."

"The feature I find most valuable in Oracle HCM Cloud is 'Journeys'. This feature is widely used across clients for onboarding, offboarding, and other automated tasks without manual intervention."

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

"The solution is very good at building out a roadmap based on client needs and feedback."

More Oracle HCM Cloud pros

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

"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."

"The mobile responsiveness is strong."

"The UI and UX are fantastic."

"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."

"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."

"It is priced low."

Cons

"Lacks relevancy for the current generation."

"We're not receiving the proper support."

"Oracle's technical support is generally satisfactory yet lacks flexibility and rapid response times."

"I would like to see improvements in the user experience, specifically reducing the number of clicks required to achieve desired outcomes. Additionally, enhancing the look and feel of the front end and allowing for a greater level of configuration would be beneficial. Its pricing should be less."

"It would be very nice if we were able to roll back transactions from data that was loaded with the data loader."

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

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

"Legal local legislation integration could improve."

More Oracle HCM Cloud cons

"The global scalability and support could improve."

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

"They could improve talent management capabilities."

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

"PeopleStrong could make it AI-friendly."

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

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The pricing is reasonable."

"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."

"The solution is expensive."

"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 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."

"The solution’s pricing is high."

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