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…

Pros

"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."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle HCM Cloud is its integration."
"I rate Oracle HCM Cloud nine out of ten."
"The solution has good integration with other applications."
"The product's most valuable feature is the centralization of data."
"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 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."
"Some of the most valuable features are the onboarding experience of new employees, the employee service portal, and the entire performance management system."
"It is priced low."
"The product has valuable flexibility for customization, user interface, and search capabilities."
"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."
"PeopleStrong Alt is flexible because it allows customization and the user's experience is very good."
"The UI and UX are fantastic."
"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."

Cons

"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 interface could be more user friendly."
"The GUI interface should be more user-friendly."
"The performance and reaction time can be improved."
"The tool's configurable side allows you to have more flexibility, but at the same time, it creates a lot of confusion that still has to do over so much of the configuration, which are areas that are conflicting in nature."
"The solution has much room for improvement in all the modules."
"It's not so easy to customize as it's cloud-based."
"The absence management can use some improvement. Due to all the flexible working, the part with work schedules could be a little bit more flexible."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"On an annual basis, we pay about $25,000 for our company. This includes the VAT, support, upgrades and everything else."
"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."
"There is a license required for the use of this solution and we are on an annual license."
"It has a licensing cost. It has a cloud-based subscription, which is quite cheap."
"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 quite expensive for small and medium-sized companies."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
"It's very reasonably priced. It is paid per employee."
"The pricing is reasonable."
