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

"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 solution's scalability potential is very good, and we have more than 1,000 users ourselves."
"The ability to update your information online from any device is invaluable Performing performance reviews online Removing the need to use paper Giving the data to produce the analytics These weren't possible before we had this system."
"I work in Saudi Arabia, the localization is most valuable as this solution has localized the payroll and they are providing the same service to HR with the core HRMS system without budgets procuring separately."
"It has good navigation, and it is user friendly and secure. Every three months, there is an upgrade, and it has new features."
"Its integrated modules allow for more seamless business processes."
"Its drag-and-drop reporting is great."
"Robust and very dependable."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"The performance and reaction time can be improved."
"The product is comparably complex to install and deploy properly."
"I would like to see more direct access for both human resources and employees without so many screens to navigate."
"Customer service is bad, four out of 10. Very slow to respond to issues, requires a lot of work from the HR team just to give them all the details."
"Oracle needs to make some sort of support repository that is up to date."
"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."
"We're not receiving the proper support."
"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."
"Employee Central to SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting integration is still a weak area that needs improvement."
"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."
