Human Resources Intern at a government with 10,001+ employees

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.

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 is essential for security needs and especially for payroll. The payroll feature is very good."

"We have not had any issues with the stability of this solution."

"The initial setup or implementation process of the solution is fine. The deployment process took place in two days. So, once one has the runbook and everything in place, it is not that difficult."

"What I like best about Oracle HCM Cloud is that its configuration is okay. I also like it in terms of updates. Product updates that take place from time to time improve Oracle HCM Cloud. What I also found valuable in the product is that since it's on cloud, you can work with it from any place."

"Robust and very dependable."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a cloud-based tool."

"The solution is very good at building out a roadmap based on client needs and feedback."

"The solution has good integration with other applications."

More Oracle HCM Cloud pros

"Technical support is excellent."

"Simple to use Easy setup Cloud-based Easy foundation setup (companies, locations, employee data, etc.) Employees can log in from any internet browser No local installation and support is required."

"The ability to have a whole system with SilkRoad works well, as we can manage most of the functions of an HR department."

Cons

"It is a cloud solution, so we cannot do much customization. However, if you have a past license, you can do the customization, but unfortunately, we don't have a past license. If we had that, we would have been 100% happy."

"Oracle needs to make some sort of support repository that is up to date."

"Cloud learning can be improved."

"Lacks relevancy for the current generation."

"The solution has much room for improvement in all the modules."

"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 compensation module needs further automation."

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

More Oracle HCM Cloud cons

"The setup was straightforward while working with the implementation team. However, it was time consuming."

"The product is designed for smaller companies, so scalability is an issue."

"I think the ATS should be able to auto-generate a decline letter when you move thru dispositions or when you close a requisition."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is quite expensive for small and medium-sized companies."

"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."

"I cannot comment on the cost, as this is handled by a different team."

"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."

"It has a licensing cost. It has a cloud-based subscription, which is quite cheap."

"The price of Oracle HCM Cloud could improve. However, everyone would like the price of a solution they are using to be less expensive."

"The solution’s pricing is high."

"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."
