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…

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

"We have 35,000 employees in our organization, so we consider the solution to be scalable."
"The application design is beautiful."
"I like the interfaces, and they are fine. I would like to see more interfaces."
"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."
"The integration capabilities of Oracle HCM Cloud are valuable, particularly its support for managing global HR operations, including absence management, talent management, employee recruitment, and performance evaluations."
"Oracle HCM Cloud's most valuable feature is that it is user-friendly."
"Its drag-and-drop reporting is great."
"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."
"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."
"PeopleStrong Alt is flexible because it allows customization and the user's experience is very good."
"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."
"The UI and UX are fantastic."
 

Cons

"It would be very nice if we were able to roll back transactions from data that was loaded with the data loader."
"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."
"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."
"Exposure to users on the volume or utilization of servers and memory is necessary. Currently, when users hit the threshold, the system experiences a slowdown."
"Oracle HCM Cloud could improve by adding AI and more offline capabilities."
"I would focus on making high volume recruitment more bulky."
"It's not so easy to customize as it's cloud-based."
"The global scalability and support could improve."
"It would be helpful if you could work offline because sometimes, we have problems with internet connectivity."
"They could improve talent management capabilities."
"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 had challenges getting the performance management system up and integrated with our systems."
"PeopleStrong could make it AI-friendly."
"The solution's workflow can improve by adding more customization at the organizational level."
"Sometimes, we feel that we should have an API-based integration aspect."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
