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.

Enables users to share curated content and helps schedule the best time to post content
The solution helped us get a fairly good footprint in our channel. It makes it very easy for many of us who have a lot of contacts in the channel. We can share curated content from the team on our social channels. It makes it easy. I could select what I want to share and choose the best time for it to be posted there, and it will. The product makes it very easy for many people dealing with different parts of our channel to push our content out to people in it. It works pretty well. There may be other capabilities that I do not know about. The solution works fine for my use cases. It's easy. It's not time-consuming. It takes 15 minutes to go through it. The solution uses AI to help schedule the best time for things to post to get the most reads and likes. It is pretty effective.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Oracle HCM Cloud is its integration."
"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."
"All the features are good."
"Their technical support is okay; I don't have any problems with the Oracle support part, and they are of great help."
"Oracle HCM Cloud offers subscription based services to system that includes web based interface, and mobile and ipad application."
"Oracle HCM Cloud is scalable, and Oracle is spending a lot of effort in research and development to increase scalability and speed with the high demand for mobile usage, with approximately 30,000 users using this solution in my organization."
"The most valuable feature is fast reporting."
"The newer Redwood team is more client-focused and this is very valuable."
"The solution helped us get a fairly good footprint in our channel."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more direct access for both human resources and employees without so many screens to navigate."
"The solution's approvals hierarchy or employee hierarchy needs some improvement and more flexibility."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"The data uploading part and backup could be better. They are a bit complex. Oracle is continuously changing it from one functionality to another. It's a bit unstable right now, and it's basically on the backend data upload part. If I have to upload, for example, data for 100 employees, it's a bit of a challenge for an end-user. It can be difficult if you're not a technical person and an end-user like me. I administer the platform, and if I get a request to upload and I'm not a technical person, then I'm just lost. I have to do some research and then complete the task. But it's evolving, and I hope it's more user-friendly in the future. In the next release, I would like a more stable mobile application. The current version isn't very stable. It takes time to open, and although they have come up with new UI pages, a few open areas need to be addressed. I would also like to see more robust and user-friendly data uploading techniques that would be helpful for end users like us. We don't have a technical background, and we just want to upload the data for our day-to-day operations."
"Visually, Oracle HCM Cloud needs improvement. For example, the employee portal looks rather old, so it would be awesome if Oracle refreshed its design or if the portal looked more modern."
"The UI needs improvement."
"In some geographies, you might not find specific localizations. For example, here in Turkey, we can use all Oracle Cloud modules except for payroll. The Oracle payroll module isn't localized for the Turkish system. So, we need to integrate a separate, localized payroll solution with Oracle HCM."
"I would focus on making high volume recruitment more bulky."
"I don't have direct access to the performance statistics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product could be more affordable."
"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."
"It has a licensing cost. It has a cloud-based subscription, which is quite cheap."
"The cost of Oracle HCM Cloud is high, it could be reduced. There is an annual subscription and it is user-based."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"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."
"According to the Turkish market, the pricing is a little bit expensive."
