Kishor Namburu - PeerSpot reviewer
Streamlines HR operations and reduces management through valuable self-service features
We used Oracle HCM Cloud for HRMS to access without a perpetual license. We aimed to transition employees to the cloud because Oracle planned to stop support for E Business Suite by twenty twenty-five. We wanted to test and understand how Oracle HCM Cloud would support our business needs It…

Provide performance management and HR operations but lacks AI capabilities
Using PeopleStrong, uploading modules, and downloading reports was very easy. The process was hassle-free and user-friendly. We use PeopleStrong for performance management and HR operations, such as storing data and handling documentation when a new person joins the company. For learning and…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Oracle HCM Cloud's most valuable feature is that it is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle HCM Cloud is its integration."
"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."
"Recruitment, talent management, and payroll are the most important features of talent management, especially in the Middle East, where I work. Performance management includes objective settings, performance evaluation, talent review, and succession planning. It also covers goal cascading, setting objectives, performance evaluations, and midyear reviews for performance improvement."
"We have not had any issues with the stability of this solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a cloud-based tool."
"What I like most about Oracle HCM Cloud is that I didn't see any area that needs to be dramatically improved. I also appreciate that it has good integration with other Oracle products. The process of integrating Oracle HCM Cloud is rather explanatory. I also found the Oracle library to be helpful. As Oracle HCM Cloud is quite a robust solution, I like it versus other solutions. I like the people at Oracle."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle HCM Cloud is the dashboards, customization, and configuration."
"The UI and UX are fantastic."
"PeopleStrong Alt is flexible because it allows customization and the user's experience is very good."
"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."
"The product has valuable flexibility for customization, user interface, and search capabilities."
"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."
"The mobile responsiveness is strong."
"Some of the most valuable features are the onboarding experience of new employees, the employee service portal, and the entire performance management system."
 

Cons

"The solution has much room for improvement in all the modules."
"Oracle should have different bundles to provide access to courses. Then, we would be able to increase our knowledge on how to use Oracle applications."
"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."
"I would like to see more direct access for both human resources and employees without so many screens to navigate."
"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."
"Although the performance management is good, it could be improved as its functionality is quite basic."
"Product integration, particularly with collaboration tools, is lacking in this solution."
"In the next release, I would like to see a new recruitments module. I would like to see the preboarding so that it sends out integrations through personal email. That would be very useful."
"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."
"They could improve talent management capabilities."
"The global scalability and support could improve."
"Sometimes, we feel that we should have an API-based integration aspect."
"They had challenges getting the performance management system up and integrated with our systems."
"It would be helpful if you could work offline because sometimes, we have problems with internet connectivity."
"The solution's workflow can improve by adding more customization at the organizational level."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"According to the Turkish market, the pricing is a little bit expensive."
"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."
"The solution is quite expensive for small and medium-sized companies."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"I haven't personally dealt with the cost details, but based on client feedback, Oracle HCM Cloud is considered expensive due to additional support costs on top of licensing fees."
"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."
"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 pricing is reasonable."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
"It's very reasonably priced. It is paid per employee."
