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.

AI recruiting workflows have accelerated hiring cycles and provide deeper analytics insights

There is no complexity in deploying SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting. Over a period of time, we understand the nuances and are comfortable with everything. Employee Central to SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting integration is still a weak area that needs improvement. We are now able to integrate with LLM models outside SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting. With AI, we can provide all those touchpoints as AI integrations in reports and dashboards. Vanilla reports and dashboards are not user-friendly and not beneficial. However, when we integrate with Employee Central and the outside world, integrating these data sets with AI, people are able to realize those values.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our overall evaluation of Oracle HCM Cloud as a general ledger tool is mixed. It is a comprehensive and versatile piece of software."

"HCM solution that's easy to set up and scale, with good data integration and technical support."

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

"It's highly stable because the system is totally managed by Oracle, Oracle provides 99.9% availability for the system uptime."

"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."

"It has good navigation, and it is user friendly and secure. Every three months, there is an upgrade, and it has new features."

"All the features are good."

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

More Oracle HCM Cloud pros

"SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting is valuable for recruitment; it is web-based, which is not amazing, but it does the work and is handling all our requirements."

"In terms of processes, we are able to provide ROI measurement showing that what used to take 30 days for an open position now takes 50% or 70% of that time with AI features and outside world social media integrations, video integrations, and other tools."

Cons

"What's not working that well at the moment is the information flow between the different HR modules. This can be improved by Oracle."

"I was part of a program I went to where I had a discussion on the latest innovation of the Oracle HCM. I think some of the newer technology innovations, such as gamification and consumerization are areas that could be improved."

"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's not so easy to customize as it's cloud-based."

"I would like to see more flexibility in integration interfaces for different functions."

"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 performance and reaction time can be improved."

"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."

More Oracle HCM Cloud cons

"There are a lot of components that need to be configured, and it requires BTP to integrate to the ECC. SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting is quite complex. It is not straightforward to use."

"Employee Central to SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting integration is still a weak area that needs improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."

"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."

"The price for Oracle HCM Cloud is expensive in Iran, but in other countries, such as Turkey, it can be reasonably priced."

"The solution’s pricing is high."

"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."

"On an annual basis, we pay about $25,000 for our company. This includes the VAT, support, upgrades and everything else."
